Savanna took a shower, dried her hair, and went to bed.
When she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang. She wanted to ignore it, but it kept ringing and
disturbed her sleep. So she managed to open her eyes.
She saw a string of familiar numbers. Savanna closed her eyes, but she was not sleepy anymore.
She got up and lit a cigarette, sitting on the bed and smoking quietly.
Her phone rang again and again as if it would never stop until she picked it up.
Finally, she answered it. Brandon’s deep and charming voice immediately sounded. “In the afternoon,
you called me. What’s up?”
Savanna spat out a mouthful of white smoke and her red lips moved slightly. “I’m fine now.”
It meant that Savanna indeed contacted him for something in the afternoon.
Brandon asked, “What was it?”
“Never mind,” Savanna casually replied.
Brandon did not give up and asked, “Is L&S Limited in trouble?”
Brandon only thought of L&S Limited when Savanna contacted him.
He knew that normally, Savanna would not contact him, or perhaps, she knew that he saved her, so
she wanted to call to thank hiin.
“No.”
Brandon did not know what to say when he noticed Savanna’s indifference towards him. He tightened
his grip on his phone, unwilling to hang up. After a long while, he slowly said, “She is…”
Brandon had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Savanna. “It’s too late. Let’s call it a
day!”
“Savanna, wait a minute.” Hearing that Savanna was about to hang up, Brandon immediately called
out.
Savanna took another puff of smoke. White smoke came out of her nostrils. She looked out of the
window at the dark night sky. While waiting, she heard Brandon suppressing his emotions. “Savanna. I
want to see you. Where are you?”
“I don’t want to see you.” Savanna refused.
“Savanna.” Brandon tightened his grip on his phone.
“Did you misunderstand something?”
Savanna smiled. Her smile was indifferent and her tone was cold, “Mr. Cassel, what can I
misunderstand based on our current relationship? Don’t overthink about it.”
Brandon ignored Savanna’s words and said, “She’s just a little sister. I watched her grow up. So she
asked me to pick her up and I just did her a favor. Savanna, believe me.”
“Brandon, we have nothing to do with each other. Who you meet and who you like have nothing to do
with me. From now on, we will go our separate ways.”
She no longer wanted to hear Brandon’s voice, so Savanna hung up.
The room finally fell silent, and the phone didn’t ring anymore. Brandon didn’t call again.
Early in the morning, when the sky had just brightened, Savanna woke up and tidied herself up. She
had just opened the door when she saw a pair of red eyes. Brandon leaned against the wall opposite
her in a black coat. His eyes were cold.
Savanna did not expect that he would come early in the morning. After a slight surprise, she noticed his
long fingers with a cigarette between them. Half of the cigarette was smoked, and the ground was
covered in dust. Countless cigarette butts were thrown at his feet, and some were put out as soon as
they were lit.
He stood there all night.
Savanna looked at him in shock.
Brandon looked at her with a smile. “I was afraid that I would disturb you, so I could only wait for you to
wake up.”
The truth was that after she hung up the phone last night, Brandon asked Jim to search for her. When
he found out that she was staying in this hotel, he rushed over. He wanted to knock on the door, but he
was afraid that Savanna would be angry. So, he decided to stand outside her door for the whole night.
Passing customers all thought that he was crazy and often cast unfriendly looks at him.
Seeing that she was not moved at all, Brandon felt a little disappointed. He shamelessly suggested,
“Aren’t you going to invite me in?”
Savanna was expressionless. “This is not my home. Besides, I have to go to work.”
Savanna said as she walked out.
Brandon reached out and grabbed her arm just as Savanna was about to leave. Savanna was forced to
turn around and look into his deep, sparkling eyes.
“Yesterday…”
Hearing him mention the things happening yesterday again, Savanna was a little impatient.
“Mr. Cassel, don’t worry about what happened yesterday. If it was in the past, maybe I would care, but
everything has changed now.”
Brandon stared at Savanna, paying attention to every subtle expression of her. “You are angry. I can
feel it. Savanna. In this life, I only like you. I only love you.”
The other women were just his passers-by.
Savanna suddenly felt heartache. She sneered with irony. “Brandon, don’t say such things to me.
“Because they are useless.”
Her indifference hurt Brandon. He said angrily, “You said you didn’t love me anymore. If you really don’t
love me, why did you get angry when a woman picked up my phone yesterday? Savanna, tell me,
why?”
Savanna faked a smile and clarified, “I was not angry.”
Brandon did not believe it. He pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on her hair. He asked gently
and stubbornly, “Tell me, why did you contact me?”
The smell of the pine greeted her nose. It was a unique smell that belonged to Brandon.
Savanna sniffed the smell and slowly closed her eyes. “I want to see Mandel.”
“Alright,” Brandon replied briskly.
“Yes, my name is Mandel Cassel.”
Mandel mischievously stuck out his tongue át her. “Savanna, did you talk to my father after you knew I
was confined?”
Mandel realized that something was wrong and quickly corrected himself. “No, you don’t know my
father. Did Kadyn bring you here?”
Mandel looked around but could not find Kadyn. He frowned and said, “Brandon, did you drive Kadyn
away again?”
Mandel obviously favored Kadyn and stood on his side. He did not even want his own father.
No wonder when Savanna said that the child was a bastard born by Kadyn, Kadyn replied that the child
was indeed a bastard but not his.
In fact, the child was not like Kadyn at all. On closer inspection, Mandel was somewhat similar to
Brandon.
But she had never thought this way. When she first met Mandel, she did not connect Mandel to
Brandon.
Brandon seemed to not want the child to mention Kadyn. His face clouded over as he warned, “I told
you not to mention Kadyn.”
Brandon saw that Savanna was so familiar with the child, that he did not have to worry about how to
introduce Savanna to Mandel.
Mandel made a face at him and held Savanna’s arm. “Savanna, he is always like this. Don’t mind that.”
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head to the side and said to Brandon, “Dad, Savanna is my
girlfriend. In the future, she will come to visit me often. You cannot make things difficult for her.”
Brandon was speechless as he heard that.
“Mandel, she is old enough to be your mother. How can she be your girlfriend?”
“Age doesn’t matter in love. Savanna is just 23 years older than me. Why can’t she be my girlfriend?”
“Mandel!” Brandon was cross and shouted.
“Dad, your hair is all white. If you don’t control your feelings, your beard is going to turn white. I’ll chat
with Savanna. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Are you giving us a place to talk?”
Mandel clung to Savanna like sticky candy.
Brandon’s face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold. He was about to say something, but Savanna
pulled him out of the door. “Go and see if the kitchen has prepared lunch. Mandel hasn’t had breakfast
yet.”
Before Brandon could react, the door closed with a bang.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Brandon gnashed his teeth in anger. Mandel, this unfilial son,
actually robbed my wile.
Brandon felt envious.
Savanna changed Mandel’s pajamas and served him to wash. Mandel took her to the collection room
to play with Lego Mandel was very smart and his Lego was the most difficult.
“Does your dad often blame you?” Savanna asked as she played with him.
Mandel nodded. “Yes, he has a bad temper.”
