Savanna looked at Brandon. Seeing that the way he looked at her was completely unfamiliar,
Savanna‘s heart skipped a beat.
Brandon withdrew his gaze after a glance and turned around to walk in.
Savanna followed in. Outside the door, seeing that Savanna was knocking on the door, Seth‘s heart
rose to his throat. He thought that Shelton would be angry. Unexpectedly, Shelton showed no sign of
anger after seeing Savanna. It seemed that Savanna had Shelton‘s tacit approval.
Relieved, Seth pushed Savanna in and closed the door.
Savanna walked in and saw that Brandon was sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his knees and his
slender fingers were typing on the keyboard. It was obvious that he was dealing with documents.
Savanna stood by the bed, at a loss of what to do. She had tons of questions but she didn‘t know
where to start.
Brandon ignored her and treated her as invisible.
About half an hour later, Brandon finally finished handling the emails. He turned off his laptop and
raised his eyebrows coldly. “What‘s the matter?”
Savanna had waited for him all day. She came for business originally, but now, her mind was full of
Mandel.
Unlike being so aggressive at the beginning, the moment she saw Brandon‘s cold face, Savanna threw
away all her fierceness and said with a low voice. “I heard that Mandel is sick, so I want to ask you. I
was a little impatient just now. Please forgive me.”
Brandon‘s gaze never landed on her face. He took his pajamas and entered the bathroom. The door
was closed and the sound of water flowed out.
Savanna could not move her feet at all. She turned her head and happened to see the sexy body
reflected in the frosted glass.
The water flowed down from his shoulders and splashed onto the ground.
Savanna could clearly see him reach out to take the shower gel as well as the action of washing.
Savanna knew that she should turn her head off, but she just couldn‘t move her eyes away.
Savanna had a lot of questions to ask.
Finally, the sound of water stopped.
Brandon came out with a towel wrapped around his waist. Drops of water dripped down from the front
of his chest. The eight–pack on his waist was clear and distinct. Savanna felt a little horny as her gaze
fell on the two long legs that were moving.
She licked her dry lips and forced herself to look away.
Brandon wiped his hair with a towel and pulled down the towel on his waist. Savanna quickly turned her
face away and pretended to appreciate the mural on the wall.
Brandon put on his pajamas and opened a bottle of red wine. He drank alone and completely turned a
blind eye to Savanna.
“Brandon, can I take a look at Mandel?” Savanna begged submissively.
“He doesn‘t want to see you.” Brandon took a sip of the red wine with his voice devoid of any emotion.
“By the way, I am Shelton Young. Of course, I don‘t mind you calling me Mr. Young.”
Shelton‘s cold attitude and distant voice gave Savanna an unfamiliar feeling.
Savanna said, “What happened in the past two months? Why did you disappear with Mandel? How is
he now? Brandon...”
Realizing that she had called him the wrong name, Savanna took a deep breath and corrected, “Mr.
Young, I am Mandel‘s mother. I have the right to know whether he is doing well or not.”
Hearing this, Brandon‘s unfocused gaze finally landed on Savanna‘s face. “Have you ever cared about
him?”
“Of course, he‘s my boy. How would I not care?” Savanna was a little angry.
Brandon smiled faintly. “If you care about him, how would you be ignorant of whether he is sick or not?
With your current capability, isn‘t it a piece of cake to put it into the investigation?”
Savanna knew that Brandon was scorching her.
She exhaled and said, “I told Justin to give you the money. Why didn‘t you take it?”
Brandon took another sip of wine. The cold liquid entered his throat. It was just like how he had spent
countless hard times. It was killing him. And it was also unforgettable.
Brandon taunted, “Why should I?”
Savanna clenched her fingers. “It‘s not for you. It‘s for Mandel.”
Quiet in the room, there were occasional sounds of insects outside the window.
Brandon broke the silence. “What do you think money can make up for?”
Without waiting for Savanna to reply, he continued, “Can you make up for his loss of maternal love?”
“You only want to make you feel better. So why should I do that?”
Brandon thought Savanna, as long as I don‘t take the money, you will suffer forever.
However, that was not the case.
Savanna understood Brandon and knew that he didn’t mean it. She did not want to argue with him.
“You didn‘t accept my money because of the last bit of pride and self–esteem in your heart. As deity‘s
favored one, Brandon, you just can‘t let go of your pride and accept the help of a woman.”
“Is that so?” Brandon pursed his lips and smiled. He tried hard to suppress his anger. “Savanna, don‘t
go overboard.”
Savanna felt that she was a little speechless. She said, “Seriously?
“I told Ben to go to you. I also called you, but your phone is always turned off. At the most difficult time
for me and Mandel, you are busy dating someone else. Savanna, is there a place for me and Mandel in
your heart?”
Brandon‘s words gave Savanna a hard blow. Her heart thumped as her little face turned pale. “You said
you called me? You even told Ben to come to me?”
When did this happen? Why didn‘t she know?
Brandon felt a dull pain in his heart again. He smiled desolately. “It‘s all over.”
A simple “It‘s all over” sentence put a stop to everything.
“Now I am Shelton. Brandon is gone. I don‘t want to pursue the past anymore. You can leave.”
Brandon is gone. I don‘t want to pursue the past anymore.
These words were like a cold nail that struck Savanna‘s temple.
It hurt so much that Savanna could barely hold it.
“How did you become Shelton?”
Brandon looked at her with cold eyes and the smile on his face became cynical. “This is all thanks to
you. If it wasn‘t for your heartlessness, I really wouldn‘t have been able to discover the true colors of
the people around me and their coldness.”
Hearing this, Savanna could no longer suppress the agitation in her heart. “Brandon, what is your
relationship with the Young family in Philadelphia? Is Mandel now one of the Young family members?”
“This is individual privacy. I can‘t tell you.”
Brandon looked down at his watch and directly told her to leave, “It‘s late, Ms. Thompson. Oh, I should
call you Mrs. Baker. It‘s late at night. I need to rest.”
The word “Mrs. Baker” caught Savanna‘s attention. She called out in surprise, “Why did you call me like
that? Brandon, I was also having a hard time these days without you and Mandel. I worked so hard just
to get you the Cassel Group. I didn‘t expect you to disappear. I had gone to Philadelphia to find you,
but no one knew where you were.”
Speaking of which, Savanna failed to hold back her tears. “Tell me, where is my son?
“I want to see him. I almost went crazy.” Savanna told Brandon what she had been through
Brandon was shocked when he heard this, but when he thought of the struggling days he had in
Philadelphia with Mandel, he still held Savanna‘s shoulders and pushed her out of the door. “Bye, Mrs.
Baker.”
The door closed in Savanna‘s tears.
