Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327 

Brandon rubbed his forehead against mine. “But I really miss you. I miss you so much…” 

He took my hand and pressed it against his warm, intimate spot. 

I pulled my hand back sharply and quickly hid it behind me. Seeing my panic, he chuckled softly. “Don’t you want it?” 

“I don’t. Not at all. I’m tired and just want to sleep.” I pushed him away and fumbled for the keys. 

I couldn’t find the keys in my flustered state, so after a while, he retrieved them for me. 

“You’re such a little scaredy–cat,” he whispered close to my ear. 

I felt a flush spread over my body. It was as if his warmth was contagious. 

Brandon unlocked the door, but just as I was about to go in, he pulled me back. “You really don’t want me to come in?” 

“No, I don’t.” I couldn’t even look at him. 

But before I could finish speaking, he had already pushed his way inside. I glared at him. “Brandon!” 

“I won’t stay,” he said as he checked each room and inspected the windows before finally coming back to me. “I’ve checked. The doors and windows are secure, and there’s nothing unusual in the house.” 

At that moment, my heart clenched, and I felt a strange sense of things settling into place. 

“You’ve had a long day, rushing for flights and then going to the hospital. You must be exhausted. Take a shower and get a good night’s sleep,” he said, patting my head and pinching my cheek. 

Seeing him like this, I suddenly didn’t want him to leave or to continue punishing him. 

After all, his behavior in his hometown was partly to set an example for Ellie and partly to avoid making me feel awkward, especially since we weren’t married yet. 

“Good night,” Brandon said before releasing me and turning to leave. 

I held him back. I couldn’t find the right words to say at the moment, but he should understand what this gesture meant. 

However, he just looked at me without moving and pretended to be puzzled.
