Chapter 78
âBut, butâ¦â
As Savanna spoke, she started crying. She knew that anxiety wouldnât help, but Mandel was not cured yet, so she did not want to be separated from her boy.
Savannaâs cries seemed to be torturing Brandonâs heart.
He scratched his head in irritation. âDonât cry, okay?â
Savannaâs voice was nasal, âWhat do my tears have to do with you? Youâre happy because Mandel is not your son. Brandon, I suspect that you have conspired with your mother and grandfather.â
Brandon admitted it. âEven if I wanted to take Mandel back, I would never use harsh ways. Savanna,
I think you donât understand me at all.â
He sounded like he was complaining.
Savanna was sad and could not think so much. She was still thinking about what Brandon had just said to Avery. Brandon said that he had never made out with any women. But in fact, ever since they
divorced, he had spent many nights at places of entertainment in New York and was in many affairs.
He just wanted to prevaricate by refusing it.
Savanna felt that she would not believe it even if she was a fool.
Brandon thought of the sentence âMandel is not your sonâ said by Savanna.
Brandon could not help but laugh. âHow come he isnât my son? Savanna, do you think you can have a kid alone?â
After being teased by Brandon, Savanna broke into a smile, and the atmosphere became lively.
On Savannaâs tear-stained face was a bright smile. Brandon was in a daze while looking at her. âThatâs more like it. You should smile more. Ben often says that you have a beautiful face but you are always cold.â
The two had never talked like this. In the past, Brandon would never mention Ben in front of
Savanna. Savanna heard Brandonâs words and asked curiously, âDid Ben say that?â
âHe said you are a cold durian.â
This was the nickname Ben gave Savanna. Under normal circumstances, Ben would not mention
Savanna in front of Brandon, especially after their divorce.
However, he would occasionally slip his tongue,
âCold durian?â
Savanna was surprised.
Durian was stinky, and Ben thought of her as a cold one. Savanna was displeased and gritted her teeth.
âHow could he?â
Savanna held a grudge against Ben in her heart because of this.
âI will convince my grandfather, but you have to give me some time.â.
Brandon made a promise.
Hearing Brandonâs guarantee and seeing that he had no intention of fighting for the custody of the kid with her, Savanna calmed down a little from her anxiety. After a while, her brows furrowed again. âHow long will it take?â
She asked.
Brandon unconsciously placed his finger on Savannaâs lips. The scorching heat penetrated Savannaâs lips through his fingertips and reached her heart. Savanna trembled and her face immediately turned red.
Brandon leaned forward and pressed her against the wall. His long fingers slowly moved away from her lips. His fingertips twisted the hair that was scattered on Savannaâs cheeks as he breathed into her ear.
âDonât worry, even if I canât convince them, I will steal Mandel for you.â
With Brandonâs promise, Savanna was completely at ease.
At the corner, in the shadows, a woman was standing there for a long time. From her angle, she could see Brandon holding Savanna in his arms. The two seemed to be kissing intimately. The womanâs nails were pressed hard against her palm, leaving behind bloody and painful crescent-shaped marks.
However, she didnât frown from the pain. Turning her face, Tracy looked at Averyâs room with vicious eyes. Savannaâs illegitimate son was in the Casselâs house, and she could lay her hands on her at any time.
The Thompson Group proposal for the project of the Cassel Group had been approved. Jim told Savanna Brandon must have been easy on her because of Mandel. No matter what, Savanna was the
mother of his child, Savanna did not express any opinion on Jimâs words. Ever since Mandel was taken away by Avery, Savannaâs attention had been focused on him.
It had been two days, but there was no news from Brandon.
After Savanna finished dealing with all the affairs of the Thompson Group, she rubbed her eyebrows and tooked up at the sunset outside the window. In her mind, the rosy face of Mandel
appeared again Mandel had a cute smile, and his rosy and tender face made Savanna obsessed. She missed Mandel.
Savanna took out her phone and dialed Brandonâs number.
The call connected after two beeps.
Not hearing Brandonâs voice for a long time, Savanna asked, âAre you busy?â
Brandonâs voice was mixed with the rustling sound of writing with a pen. âIâm dealing with the last document. Whatâs the matter?â
Savanna hesitated. She bit her lips and said, âBrandon, I want to meet Mandel.â
Brandon replied with OK without thinking.
âIâll come to pick you up after this document is processed.â
Brandon hung up before Savanna spoke.
To make money for the Thompson Group and to make Mandel return to her side smoothly, Savanna had to maintain a friendly relationship with Brandon.
Savanna finished packing up and just as she walked out of Thompson Group, Brandonâs black Cayenne stopped in front of her. The car window was rolled down, revealing Brandonâs handsome face. Savanna walked around the car, sat in the passenger seat, and buckled her seatbelt before they headed for the Casselâs house.
Savanna came to see Mandel, and Avery couldnât stop her from doing that. Debbie carried the boy
down. Savanna took Mandel from Debbie. When Mandel saw Savanna, he revealed his small and toothless mouth. His black eyes were watery, and the depression in Savannaâs heart was gone.
Savanna finished bathing her son. She carried Mandel out of the bathroom and dressed him. She took him downstairs to drink milk. She was unaware that Brandon was sitting on the sofa behind her. He was holding a newspaper, but his gaze fell on Savanna and her son.
Savanna felt his burning gaze. When she turned her head to look at Brandon, she found him reading the newspaper with his head down. It seemed that everything was her illusion.
When she turned around to feed Mandel milk, Brandon immediately raised his head and looked at
them again. Brandon couldnât help but smile with satisfaction.
Giselle wanted to keep Savanna to eat. Thinking of her awkward identity, Savanna turned Giselle down.
Debbie carried Mandel upstairs, Savanna was about to leave when Brandon said, âIâll send you off.â
Seeing that Savanna did not refuse, Brandon took the car key and went out. Not long after, he sent Savanna to the Thompsonâs home.
As soon as the car stopped, Savanna thought of her work and asked, âThank you for approving my companyâs proposal.â
