Chapter 390
Ethan sent Savanna back to the Rose Villas. Renee stood in the light, wearing a nightgown. The night wind lifted her skirt and hair, making her look magnificent.
Seeing this, Ethan turned to Savanna and said, “Tell your mother to go in. It’s cold and she just recovered from her depression. It’s not good for her to stand outside.”
With these words, Ethan left.
Savanna walked forward and held Renee’s hand. Feeling the coldness of Renee’s hand, Savanna frowned. She pulled Renee into the villa. “Mom, why did you come out of the room?”
Renee stared at Savanna in a daze, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. “Savanna, you haven’t found Mia, have you?”
Seeing Savanna’s silence, Renee became anxious. Although Mia is not my child, I promised Mia’s mother before she died, that I would take good care of Mia for the rest of my life. For the past two days, I had nightmares about Mia’s mother trying to kill me.”
Renee trembled as she spoke.
It seemed like the scene in her dream was extremely terrifying
Savanna had always thought that Mia was picked up by Renee, she did not know that Renee had such a relationship with Mia’s mother.
If they did not have a close relationship, Mia’s mother wouldn’t entrust her child to Renee.
Mia’s mother must have trusted mom a lot. Savanna thought.
“Mom, may I ask you something? Since you care so much about Mia, why did you treat her like that back then?” Savanna asked.
Renee was depressed. “In the past, I treated Mia quite well. I thought of her as my daughter. Later … I was sick and I treated her like that because I couldn’t control mysell. Mia also knew that, so although she didn’t like me on the surface, she was filial to me indeed.”
Savanna didn’t want to upset her mother, so she patted her chest and guaranteed, “Don’t worry. I’m going to find her. She will be back soon.”
Renee’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Really?”
“Of course, your hand is so cold, hurry up and go up to rest,” said Savanna.
Renee nodded. Then she turned and went upstairs. After two steps, she turned back to look at Savanna and said, “Savanna, Brandon is in the study. He seems to be different from before. You….”
Renee wanted to say something but hesitated, looking full of worry.
Savanna glanced at the study and understood what her mother meant. “I know. You don’t have to worry about it. Just go to sleep.”
Renee’s figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Savanna stood in the empty hall by herself. She heard the sound of the wind blowing past her cars. She sat down on the sofa for a long time. Then, she stepped into the kitchen, cooked some dumplings, and knocked on the door of the study.
“Coming in.” Hearing Brandon’s voice, Savanna pushed the door and entered.
Brandon sat in the chair with his head lowered. He was focused on his work Savanna looked at the man’s broad back and felt indescribable bitterness. She stepped forward and put the bowl on the desk. “You must be hungry. I cooked some dumplings for you.”
“Thank you.” Brandon blurted out without thinking.
His words caused Savanna to frecze. He was so polite and distant as if they were not intimate couples.
Brandon did not know what Savanna was thinking. After handling the last email, he closed his laptop and started to cat dumplings,
Suddenly, Brandon caught the stiff look on Savanna’s face. “I thought you wouldn’t be back for a while, so I came to work in the study.” Said Brandon.
Brandon held the bowl and walked toward Savanna. He scooped up a dumpling in one hand and held Savanna’s shoulder with the other, and acted intimately, “Where did you go?”
