Love Has Its Will

Chapter 208

Brandon smiled and said in a husky voice, “I’m the prince charming of all the women.”

The way Brandon gazed at Savanna gradually changed. They had been a couple for two years, so

Savanna naturally understood what emotion was behind his gaze. She clearly saw desire in his eyes.

Savanna looked away and swallowed. She then said, “Tomorrow, let me look after Mandel. You can go

do your own things.”

There was rejection in Savanna’s words.

Brandon understood what Savanna was thinking.

Savanna was afraid that Brandon would follow them.

In fact, he had already made arrangements.

Brandon said, “Okay, you should have a good rest.” After that, he left.

The room immediately became quiet.

Savanna changed her pajamas and lay on the bed. She wanted to sleep and was very sleepy, but she

couldn’t fall asleep, and her mind was extremely clear.

She lifted the quilt, took a coat, and walked out of the room. In the courtyard, the morning dew was

heavy, and several roses were covered with dew.

In the opposite room, under the open window, there seemed to be a figure swaying. Savanna stood

under the tree, silently watching the swaying shadow of a man.

Brandon lowered his head. He fixed his eyes on the notebook in his hand, occasionally writing

something, occasionally coughing slightly.

Savanna looked at her watch. It was two o’clock in the morning.

But it seemed that Brandon didn’t intend to stop.

Savanna thought, does Brandon always work late?

Savanna didn’t want to disturb Brandon. She sat on the bench facing the window and stared at the

figure not far away in a daze.

Unconsciously, she fell asleep.

She was woken up by a cold and sharp wind.

The coat fell on her shoulder and blocked the biting cold.

Savanna opened her eyes, only to see Brandon standing in the wind. The tenderness in Brandon’s

eyes shocked Savanna. She wondered if she mistook

She wanted to take a closer look, but unfortunately, the tenderness in Brandon’s eyes had already

disappeared.

His thin, cold lips parted slightly. “It’s cold in the yard. Go in and sleep!”

Savanna did not move but looked at Brandon without blinking. “Do you usually work so late like this?”

Brandon turned around and looked over. He thought, is it because she could see me from this place

that she chose to sit here?

When Brandon thought that he had gotten Savanna’s concern, he felt warm in his heart.

Brandon said sincerely, “After returning here, I found that things here are quite complicated. Grandma

is old and can’t work hard anymore. And I am the only man in the family. I have to work hard and

manage the company well. In this way, my grandma could set her mind at rest.”

In the business world, everyone said that Brandon was cold-blooded and heartless.

However, only Savanna knew that Brandon was the most filial person in the world.

“Is Mrs. Young very strict?”

Sometimes, Savanna would imagine what kind of person Lorena was in her mind.

Brandon smiled faintly when he saw Savanna’s curious gaze. “I’ll take you to see her tomorrow. What

do you think?”

“No, there’s no need for that.”

For some reason, Savanna did not want to see Lorena. Perhaps it was because Lorena was a legend

in the business world, or perhaps it was because she was once Brandon’s ex-wife.

“Are you afraid of her?” Brandon stared at Savanna.

Savanna smiled awkwardly. She stroked the hair that fell from her forehead. “It’s not that I’m afraid.

There’s no need to see her. After seeing Mandel, I’m going back to New York.”

The light in Brandon’s eyes dimmed when he heard that.

The two were silent for a while. Later, Savanna said, “Take good care of Mandel and find a stepmother

who loves him.”

The topic was sensitive and complicated.

Brandon sat next to Savanna. He lit a cigarette and took a puff. He suddenly remembered that

Savanna also smoked. He handed the cigarette box to Savanna and asked her, “Do you want one?”

When they were together, he opposed Savanna smoking, but now he asked her if she wanted to

smoke. Sure enough, relationships could change everything.

“I’ve given up smoking.”

She was lying. She said that because the inexplicable bitterness in her heart tortured her.

Brandon did not think much of it. He lowered his head and reached out to help Savanna remove the

ashes from her pajamas. He was afraid that the ashes would fall on her again, so he moved the

cigarette to his right hand. He tilted his head to take a puff. White smoke came out of his nose. He

looked at the starry sky. A trace of bitterness appeared in his eyes.

He asked, “Savanna, what do you think is the reason that leads us to the current situation?”

Savanna was lost in thought, yes, why?

In the past, my love for him was so passionate that it seemed that I could not live without him.

However, after experiencing death, I realized that nobody is indispensable in life.

The pain back then only represented the state of my mind at that time. After the pain vanished, it’s all

over.

Taking a deep breath, Savanna stood up. “I’m sleepy. It’s too late. You should rest early too.”

Savanna walked back to her room.

As Brandon watched Savanna slowly disappear from his sight, the bitterness in his heart quickly

spread.

There was sadness in his eyes. He had lost her, so how was he going to get her back?

When Savanna woke up early in the morning, she had a slight headache.

Thinking that she was going to meet her son, Savanna could not hide the excitement in her heart. She

washed herself up. When she just walked out of

the room, she saw Brandon standing under the eaves.

Seeing Savanna walking out, Brandon walked over. When he noticed the faint dark circles under

Savanna’s eyes, he asked, “You didn’t sleep well last

night?”

“Not bad,” Savanna grinned.

“Seth is waiting outside. Let’s go.”

Savanna did not ask Brandon why they had to leave the villa to meet Mandel. She lowered her head

and silently followed Brandon.

They passed through the long corridor one after the other. A black Maybach was parked at the

entrance of the villa.

When they got into the car, Seth started it and drove away.

Along the way, Savanna did not say a word, but it was not difficult to see the panic in her heart from her

clenching hands.

She seemed to have guessed that things were not simple.

She thought that Mandel should be really sick.

Fortunately, Brandon did not take Savanna to the hospital. Savanna finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Brandon brought her into a dark room with only a door and a window. From the window, Savanna could

see many figures playing in the glass room downstairs. Some of the children were playing football.

Some were playing chess, and Lego building blocks.

Savanna felt that the figure who built the highest building with building blocks seemed to be Mandel.

But meanwhile, she felt the figure looked a little different from Mandel.

Savanna’s gaze fixed on that small figure.

Mandel didn’t know that someone was looking at him.

Mandel lowered his little head and focused on the thing in his hand. Savanna didn’t know if it was

because of the distance between them, or if it was because she was too sensitive, she felt that

Mandel’s hand was so small, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Brandon could no longer suppress her emotions. She turned around and wanted to run out, but was

stopped by Brandon. Brandon raised his eyebrows. “Where are you going?”

Savanna’s lips trembled. “I…”

Her throat tightened. She was so anxious that she stumbled over her words. “I want to see him.”

“Didn’t you see him?” Brandon’s heart missed a beat.

Savanna closed her eyes, tears rolling down from her eyes. After a long time, she finally calmed down

a little. She said, “Brandon, you know, I’m not talking about seeing him in this way.”
