Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 

When Brandon came out from the balcony, he saw me asleep at the computer. The dim yellow light cast a glow on my face, and his gaze lingered there. 

I could sense it but couldn’t wake up. 

After a while, I heard him calling me softly, “Mae…” 

Mae? 

Was he calling me? 

Yes, he was. 

Before I joined the Gildon family, I was called Mae, not Maddie. 

But it had been a long time since anyone called me that. 

“Bran, my name is Mae…” 

A vision appeared before my eyes: a little girl with two buns on her head and a baby face sweetly calling a boy. 

The boy was aloof and didn’t like to talk.

“Mae, you can’t marry him. You have a fiancé…” 

“I won’t marry him: He’s a jerk. A jerk!” 

I woke up from the dream, breathing rapidly.

Lying in bed, I stared blankly for half a minute before getting up. As soon as my I wasn’t my room.

My mind quickly flashed back to last night. I shivered and looked at the bed I had slept in. But Brandon wasn’t there. 

I looked down at my clothes. They were still on and intact. 

I breathed a sigh of relief and walked out spotting Brandon asleep on the sofa. True to his military background, even on the sofa, he slept neatly. 

My first thought was, was he comfortable sleeping like that? 

Honestly, such an orderly person made me want to mess him up a bit. He wasn’t awake. I watched him silently from a few steps away, then moved to my computer, picked it up quietly, and tiptoed out. 

I can’t believe I slept here last night. Just thinking about it made me feel 

embarrassed.
