Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 157

"I left it open for you. I thought you might come looking for me if you were anxious," Brandon explained casually.

I blurted, "So, you wrapped yourself with only a towel on purpose?"

Brandon's Adam's apple bobbed. "No. I heard my phone ring, so I came out to answer it. It was purely a coincidence..."

Was it really? At least she didn't lose anything because he had a hot body.

Brandon didn't say a word on our journey to Gildon estate. I thought he was nervous. "Once we arrive, you just need to greet them. I'll handle any questions that come our way."

"Okay," he replied.

"If Chris is also there, and he says mean things or makes things difficult for you, don't hold back," I instructed.

Brandon said again, "Okay."

"Oh right, we need to get our story straight. Let's say we met in Amaty, and you, well... like me and followed me here." I was too shy to finish my sentence.

Brandon said, "I probably won't mess that up."

"Huh?" I didn't really understand what he meant, but then I had a realization quickly enough.

I didn't know what to say so I just kept quiet, and so did he.

The quiet added to the awkwardness, which made me drive nervously. Suddenly, the idiot in the car in front of us slammed on the brakes, and I almost hit it.

Brandon reacted like lightning. His hand shot out and he grabbed the steering wheel, and then he turned it. The car turned 45 degrees and skidded, avoiding an accident.

I was still in shock even after the car screeched to a halt. His reflexes were unreal. He seemed almost superhuman.

"Focus on driving. It's fine if the car is damaged, but what if you get hurt?" Brandon said in concern. He straightened the car out once the vehicle in front of us continued moving.
