Savanna looked into his eyes, which were deep but showed no emotion. His voice was hoarse. And as
he blew his breath on her face, Savanna blushed with her body trembling.
Brandon noticed Savanna’s shyness. His thin lips curved slightly. Savanna had given birth to a child for
him, and yet she was still as shy as a young lady.
Brandon didn’t let Savanna go after a long time.
But by the time Savanna got up, Brandon was not there by her side anymore. Other than the lingering
temperature on the pillow, which was proof of Brandon’s company last night, the whole thing seemed
just like a dream.
Savanna got up and went to the bathroom to get herself cleaned up. At that moment, there came a
knock on the door. Savanna hurried to get to the door, only to find Jim standing outside, who blushed at
a glance at Savanna.
Savanna lowered her head and found that she was in sexy pajamas. As a result, she hurried to close
the door.
Savanna thought it was Brandon and did not expect that it would be Jim. Speaking of Jim, when did he
come here?
As she was wondering, Savanna took off her pajamas, took a coat nearby, and slipped into it.
After dressing up neatly, Savanna opened the door again. Jim, who was still blushing, then handed the
takeout to her. As he did that, he kept lowering his gaze while saying, “Mrs. Cassel, Mr. Young wants
you to have breakfast. He will get back to you once he gets his things done.”
Then Jim turned around and left.
Savanna closed the door.
Then she unwrapped the takeout. It was a hearty breakfast that was bought from a famous store. The
food was delicious. And probably because of the intense sex last night, Savanna finished it up.
After breakfast, she watched TV for a while. And just when she was about to call Brandon, Brandon
was back with a faint smile on his face. Then he took out a box from his shirt pocket, untied the velvet
ribbon with his slender fingers, and took out a green ring.
Savanna took a look at the ring. In the middle of it, there was a pattern of Cupid aiming his arrow.
Savanna, deeply touched, asked with a trembling voice, “This is … my ring?”
Brandon smiled without saying anything. Then he held her hand, put the ring on her ring finger, and
raised both of their hands up high. The sunlight from outside the window reached the two green rings
on them and then passed through the slits between their hands. The rings were shining. and they were
beaming with happiness.
With their fingers intertwined, the two seemed to be even closer to each other now.
Brandon’s Adam’s apple moved a bit as he said slowly, “Did my mother tell you that she got back the
wedding ring that you had pawned?”
Savanna nodded. Back then, in order to save the Thompson Group, Savanna pawned her wedding
ring. Afterward, Giselle took the ring back to Savanna and told Savanna that she had redeemed the
ring from the pawnshop.
There had been an estrangement between Savanna and Brandon. But in order not to embarrass
Giselle, Savanna took the ring unwillingly. Not long after that, she went to prison and left New York.
And by the time she came back, the Rose Villas had been deserted. Afterward, the Cassel Group went
bankrupt and Brandon left New York together with Mandel. When she bought back the Rose Villas, her
wedding ring was no longer there.
Brandon said tenderly. “I asked my mother to lie to you. Leo had told me that your wedding ring had
been in pawn. Therefore, I asked him to redeem it. But since I was afraid that you might not accept it, I
then asked my mother for help.”
Actually, Brandon had done a lot for Savanna secretly. But she had been kept in the dark
Brandon found Savanna rather pitiful at the sight of her sighing with reddening eyes. Therefore, he
rubbed her nose gently and said in a very soft voice, “Dear, you are not allowed to shed one more lear
now. I will make you happy for the rest of your life and make up for all your suffering before.”
He held her hand and placed it against his lips. His beautiful lips landed on the ring, “Don’t lose it again
no matter what happens.”
Savanna was moved to tears, her throat sore. After a long time, she spat out a word slowly. “Alright.”
They stayed in Seattle for three days. During the day, Brandon showed her around the city. At night,
they stayed on the bed in the hotel, affectionate towards each other like an inseparable couple.
With tears in her eyes and a blush on her face, Savanna, deeply moved, asked with a trembling voice,
“I keep feeling that something is off with you. Why is that?”
Brandon replied as he moved his body, “It seems that I haven’t worked hard enough to attract all your
attention.”
As he spoke, Brandon went wild and intensified what he was doing at that moment. Due to that,
Savanna exploded into euphoria all at once. Then, she could no longer hear anything. All her
perception had been gone because of him. That was a hell of a wonderful moment.
She was no longer able to think about anything else.
Alter the sex, he hugged her, kissed her face, which was sweaty, caressed the hair on her forehead,
and then carried her to the bathroom. Then he started to wash her body.
As they were showering, Savanna grabbed his strong arm, blinking her eyes, which were misted by
tears. He knew that she was thinking of the question she asked just now again. Therefore, he said, with
his throat moving slightly, “Savanna, we had skipped all the dating before we got married. I owe you a
lot of dates. That’s why I have been trying my best to make up for you these past few days.”
Indeed, in the past few days, Savanna had felt lots of love and affection from Brandon. That made her
feel like she was just a young lady. Whenever Brandon disappeared, she would call him and ask him
his whereabouts, as if she did not want to be separated from him at any time.
He sent her flowers, watched movies, ate popcorn with her, and even rode on a Ferris wheel with her,
where he kissed her affectionately. All of this was just surreal for Savanna.
She had never thought that there would be a day like this when Brandon did all these romantic things
for her.
“Thank you.”
Savanna, with her hand holding Brandon’s, said in a trembling voice due to excitement.
On the third night, after having sex with Savanna, Brandon lit a cigarette and stood by the window while
looking at the buildings outside. He was lost in thought.
Savanna came out of the shower and noticed Brandon at the French windows. Brandon’s figure, which
was silhouetted against the light, looked rather lonely.
Savanna was uneasy. The two of them had cooperated so well on the bed just now, and he seemed to
be in a good mood then. But after just a shower, his eyebrows had already been covered with gloom.
“What happened?”
She asked carefully.
Brandon took a puff of his cigarette, the muscles on his cheeks sinking a bit.
A moment later, after he finished his cigarette, he put it out, turned around, and looked at Savanna with
deep affection. But, unlike before, there appeared a faint indifference in his eyes now. “Savanna, I have
something to do in Philadelphia. I need to get back. Jim will settle everything here for you while keeping
you company. As for Mandel…”
Brandon hesitated for a moment. And then he took a deep breath while saying slowly, “I will take care
of him.”
Brandon’s words tore Savanna’s heart out. Her ears were ringing, echoing with Brandon’s voice.
With her face pale, she asked with a trembling voice. “You… What do you mean? You … want to leave
Brandon didn’t dare to exchange a gaze with her. Therefore, he looked away and ignored the pain in
his heart. “I want to keep you company, but I can’t. Stay here for now. And I will come back and pick
you up after things get normal.”
Savanna pricked her palm with her fingers. Blood was pouring out, and her fingernails broke with a
bang. Then she said through gritted teeth, “What do you mean? And how long will it be until things get
normal?”
