Perhaps because Fabian discovered that Savanna had woken up or he was wary of Savanna, Fabian
turned off the speakerphone and lowered his voice.
Savanna couldn’t hear what they were talking about.
After chatting for a while, Fabian asked the woman to wait for him to have a good rest before he hung
up.
As soon as the call ended, someone else called Fabian.
The ringing stopped. Fabian picked up the phone. It was unknown what the one on the other end of the
line said. Fabian’s voice was cold. “I’ll be right there.”
Fabian said while walking out the door.
In a hurry, Fabian even forgot to close the office door.
Savanna waited for a while. Since there was no longer any sound that entered her cars, Savanna got
up and rubbed the back of her head which was hurting. She searched around Fabian’s office, but she
could not find the recording pen. Savanna thought Fabian probably took it away. Fabian would not
allow such an important thing to fall into her hand,
Savanna left the Colon Group from the back door.
She got into the car.
Her phone buzzed.
Then it rang, and the name ‘Seth’ appeared on the screen.
Savanna drove the car out of the garage while answering the phone. “Hello.”
“Mrs. Young, Lorena’s ashes have been found. Mr. Young is looking for you everywhere. Where have
you been?”
Seth’s voice came.
Hearing the news that Lorena’s ashes had been found, Savanna could not suppress the joy and asked,
“Where did you find them? Seth, you and Jim did a great job.”
Seth was embarrassed by Savanna’s praise. “Mrs. Young, Jim, and I didn’t find it. Ms. Colon sent it
over. She said that someone found it, but she didn’t tell us who it was.”
They only knew a “Ms. Colon”. That was Dahlia.
Dahlia’s father designed a plan to steal the ashes. But Dahlia racked her brains to send the ashes
back. What did Fabian and Dahlia want?
Savanna would not simply think that Dahlia was upright enough to help them. Maybe Dahlia brought
the ashes back to approach Brandon.
The news was like a bucket of cold water poured down from the top of Savanna’s head, extinguishing
her enthusiasm and expectation of finding Lorena’s ashes.
Now, Dahlia was a great contributor to Brandon.
But Suvant…
Savanna Lave a bitter and helpless smile. She had been busy lor so long, but it was useless. Dahlia
found Lorena’s ashes before hier.
Heari no response, Seth shouted, “Mrs. Young. are you there?”
Savanna snapped back to reality and smiled, pretending to be happy. “Great. We have to thank
Dahlia.”
Seth replied, “Yes. In the past, I thought Dahlia was not a good person. Now it seems that she is not
that bad.”
Seth told the truth, but Savanna did not feel good.
Savanna thought that even Seth was attracted to Dahlia.
Savanna drove the car back to the Young’s home.
There was no trace of Brandon Seth told Savanna with a smile, “Mr. Young is in the ancestral temple.
The priest is choosing the date of Lorena’s burial. Many days have been delayed. Mr. Young said that
he would choose another auspicious day.”
Savanna nodded and forced a smile.
On the way to the ancestral temple, Savanna passed by the room where Renee stayed last night.
Aspen was knitting a sweater outside the room. Seeing that Savanna had come back, Aspen stopped
what she was doing and looked at Savanna with sparkling eyes. “Mrs. Young, you are back Lorena’s
ashes were found. Ms. Colon sent them back.”
It could be seen that Aspen was happy and grateful to Dahlia.
Aspen was another person whom Dahlia softened up.
Dahlia’s move was truly brilliant.
Seth and Aspen were grateful to Dahlia, and Jim was no exception, not to mention Brandon.
A bad feeling surged through Savanna.
Savanna smiled at Aspen and glanced sideways at the closed door. She asked, “She didn’t calise
trouble, did she?”
Aspen followed Savanna’s line of sight and looked into the room. “Rence is not in a good mental state.
She slept for a while and was scared awake by the nightmare. After she woke up, she has been in a
daze on the bed.”
Savanna didn’t say anything and walked towards the ancestral temple of the Young family.
Aspen lowered her head and knitted the sweater.
When Savanna arrived at the ancestral temple, the door was ajar. She looked inside and saw a priest
in a black robe lacing the memorial tablet of the Young family. He lowered his head and muttered
something. His voice was soft, so Savanna could not hear him clearly. Savanna’s gaze swept across
the priest’s broad back At a glance, she saw Lorena’s memorial tablet which was placed in the front.
Beside it was a square box. The lost ashes were inside.
Brandon stood straight next to the priest. He was in awe of the memorial tablets in front of him. The
huge ancestral temple was quiet. Only the priest’s prayers could be heard, Occasionally, a gust of wind
blew. The candle lights on the shirine shone on Brandon, making his talland straight body glow with a
faintliglit.
Suvana rently pushed open the door. She walked up to Brandon, reached out, and gently tucced at the
corner of Brandon’s clothes. Brandon turned his head and met her clear fyes. A faint smile appeared
on Brandon’s lace as he zatured for her not to speak in case she would disturb the priest.
Savait bewihat Brandon was not superstitious. The reason he did this was only to show respect to the
deceased ancestors of the Youny Lamily.
Sivan stood side by side witli Brandin keitir Siris un trid listen to
Finally, the priest finished chanting He opened his cold eyes and said to Brandon, “In five days, it will
be a good day. Bury Lorena in five days.”
“Alright. Thank you for your hard work.”
Brandon sent the priest away, and Savanna followed him out of the ancestral temple.
As soon as she walked out of the ancestral temple, Seth hurried over. He walked around, closed the
door, and put the key into his pocket.
Seth saw that Savanna hadn’t left, so he asked, “Mrs. Young, what’s wrong?”
Savanna forced a smile. “It’s fine.”
Savanna passed through the rockery pavilion and returned to the hall.
Brandon had just returned after seeing the priest off. Their eyes met, and Savanna had a smile on her
face. Before she could speak, Brandon asked, “Where did you go?”
Brandon raised his wrist to look at his watch. From the time he started looking for Savanna, Savanna
had disappeared for five hours.
Savanna smiled more happily: “Did you look for tre?”
Brandon walked forward and pulled her into his arms. He combed the bangs between her eyebrows.
“Of course, I’m a little worried…”
Savanna didn’t intend to tell anyone about Fabian knocking her out. When she heard that Brandon was
worried about her, she couldn’t hold it in and told him, “I went to Fabjan. He didn’t admit it at first. After I
recorded what he said, he knocked me out, so…”
Brandon frowned when he heard Savanna’s story.
Brandon asked Jim to find a doctor. The doctor checked Savanna’s body, especially her head. After the
doctor concluded that there was no big problem, Brandon was still worried and asked the doctor to
prescribe some ointment for blood circulation and bruises.
As soon as the doctor left, Brandon dracced Savanna into the room upstairs.
As soon as Savanna sat on the bed, Brandon reached out, grabbed the corner of Savanna’s shirt, and
pushed it upwards. Savanna grasped Brandon’s hand and stopped his erotic actions. “What … are you
doing?
Lorena hadn’t been buried yet, so they had to keep vigil beside her coffin.
Brandon raised his eyebrows. “What are you thinking? I just want to see the wound on your waist.”
Brandon gently moved Savanna’s hands away and then lifted Savanna’s shirt up. Bruises on her
healthy skin came into his view.
There were a lot of clots. Brandon wrinkled his eyebrows and opened the ointment. After touching the
ointment, he yenily rubbed the bruises on Sivanna’s waist.
In the morning, Renee lit Sivanna’s waist with something Savanna didn’t feel any pain, maybe because
she was concerned about Lorena’s ashes. Now, Brandon was lielping her apply ointment. Savanna
was so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Savanna was not pretentlous. It was indeed painful
Brandon heard Savanna’s groan and slowed down. He moved lightly as if he was afraid to hurt her.
Brandon was done.
Gavanna looked into Brandon’s eyes. Although her smile was light, it was sincere. “How did you know I
was injured?”
Brandon returned, “I heard it from Aspen.”
Savanna said, “Aspen is just a big mouth. She tells you everything.”
Brandon put away the ointment and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Soon, Brandon came out. He wiped the water from his hands and habitually caressed Savanna’s hair.
“Don’t think too much about it. As your husband, it is only right for me to care about you.”
There was nothing wrong with it.
Looking at Brandon, Savanna thought of what Seth and Aspen said.
They botlı praised Dalilia.
Thinking about this, Savanna felt a little sour. “Brandon, we are not husband and wife now. You don’t
have to care about me.”
Brandon’s lips curved into a smile when he heard this. He didn’t bother to hide the smile on his face. “If
you don’t mind, we will go and register our marriage now.”
Savanna looked down.
She thought of the grudge between the two families, her biological mother Renee, and Fabian, she
could not determine the direction of her future life.
Who knew what would happen next?
Brandon saw Savanna’s hesitation and knew what she was thinking. His fingertips gently brushed past
Savanna’s moist lips. “Dahlia sent grandma’s ashes over. I couldn’t refuse her. Savanna, if you don’t
like it, I will hide far away from wherever she is. With her participation in the project, I will try not to get
involved and contact her. Can you be a little happier?”
They had lived together for more than two years. Telling from an expression or a few words, Brandon
would know what Brandon was thinking.
When Savanna came back, Brandon knew that she was forcing smiles. Seeing that she wanted to ask,
but she held back her tongue, Brandon directly said it. He was afraid that if Savanna held it in for too
long, she would go mad. In other words, she would then make trouble with him. And the last thing that
Brandon wanted to do was to quarrel with
Savanna.
Savanna made a cute expression at him. “I’m not unhappy. No matter who it is, as long as he can send
‘grandma’ back, I have to thank him.”
Brandon pinched Savanna’s nose, lowered his head, and kissed her on the forehead as if to relieve
her. “Don’t worry. The inolber of my child can only be you.”
