At this moment, Johanna turned to Natalie, who was staring at her with pleading eyes, and finally relented.
Natalie needed to spend more time with Brandon, especially since she had lost her memory. If she agreed to go back to the White family’s residence,it would sadden Brandon and make him think that she did not deserve to endure hardships with him.
Moreover,the White family was powerful in Barnes. Even if Natalie didn’t go home with them, they could send someone to take care of Natalie and ensure her safety.
Although Johanna feared her daughter would be in danger, she reluctantly conceded, “Since you insist, I won’t force you back.”I –
Natalie’s eyes lit up, andshe clung to her mother’s arm. “Thank you, Mom. Don’t worry I’ll take good care of myself!”
Johanna touched Natalie’s forehead dotingly and remarked with both love and resignation,”You’re so stubborn…Promise me you’ll contact us if anything happens. Don’t bear it alone, okay?”
Natalie nodded in agreement. “I will, Mom. I won’t let you worry about me.”
Before leaving with Beal, Johanna made Natalie promise several times that she would be safe Only when she was reassured that the two of them left the mansion.
Now that only Natalie and Brandon were the only ones left, the atmosphere grew tense. Natalie shot a cold glance at Brandon and slumped angrily onto the sofa.
Knowing that she was furious, Brandon sighed and sat next to her.
Natalie stared daggers at him and then turned her head away, refusing to talk to him.
Brandon could not help but chuckle and helplessly shake his head.”How long will you stay angry with me?”.
With a haughty snort, Natalie waved the tablet and retorted, “If I hadn’t seen the news, how long were you planning to keep this from me?” Brandon snatched the tablet computer and put it aside. Then, he pulled her into his arms and coaxed her, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just didn’t want you to worry about me, especially since you’ve lost your memory.”
Natalie’s heart softened at his gentle tone. However,her anger reignited when she recalled that he had planned to send her away without her knowledge.
“Why did you decide to send me away without even asking me? Am I not someone who can share your trouble?”
Her eyes reddened with fury as she spoke. She pushed Brandon away, intending to leave.
But when he saw that she was genuinely upset, he wrapped her into his tight embrace. “I’m sorry. I was wrong. I promise I won’t hide anything from you again.”
He tightly held her in his arms, leaving her no chance to resist.
Meanwhile, Natalie struggled to get out of his arms but to no avail. She could only glare at him and demand, “Let me go!
Brandon held her waist tightly with one hand and held her hand with the other. He then intertwined his fingers with hers and said,”Forgive me first, or I won’t let you go.”
Natalie stubbornly pushed him a few more times.”If you don’t let me go, I’ll be angrier!”
“What if you run away?” Brandon rested his chin on her shoulder and asked in a low and hoarse voice. “Could you listen to my explanation first?”
His warm breath on her neck made Natalie freeze and dispelled her anger. Even so,she pretended to be angry. “Fine. I’d like to see how you can justify yourself.”
Brandon gently kissed her neck and took a sniff of her natural fragrance.
“I didn’t want to hide anything. It’s just that you lost your memory and are ill. I didn’t want to upset you. What if something happens to you because of anxiety? I won’t be able to forgive myself.”
He paused for a brief moment and heaved a sigh.”The truth is, I didn’t want you to go back to the White family’s house either. But it’s for your safety.You know Jeremy. He has no conscience. Besides, I’m his target. You’ll be safer with your family’s protection.”
When Natalie heard his explanation, the remaining anger in her heart disappeared.
At this moment, she exhaled deeply and stopped dwelling on the matter. Instead, she shifted the conversation to the trending topic on the Internet that caused an uproar among the netizens. “What are you going to do about the news?”.
Seeing that she was no longer mad, Brandon sighed in relief and answered,”I’ve already had someone delete the posts and asked my men to find Jeremy as soon as possible. The rest of the problems can only be resolved one by one. But my people are efficient. I’m sure we’ll achieve the ideal outcome soon.”.
Natalie merely snorted and shot him a glance. Knowing that she was still annoyed, Brandon planted a kiss on her cheek and playfully said, “Honey, you’re so kind. When you saw the news,you stayed by my side and never doubted me.”
“How could I doubt you?”Natalie retorted without thinking.
Brandon found himselfmomentarilytaken aback. He locked his gaze onto Natalie’s vibrant eyes, sensing a slight flutter in his heart as her resolute yet tender voice reached his ears.
Under Brandon’saffectionategaze,Natalie blushed as she lowered her head shylyf’i!! ! believe you won’t do such a thing..
Before she could finish her sentence, Brandon suddenly cupped her jaw and leaned in to plant a tender kiss upon her delicate, pink lips.”Mm…” she let out a soft groan.
Brandon kissed Natalie with passionate intensity. Just as she was about to run out of breath, he reluctantly released her tender lips. He then trailed his stubbled chin slowly down her neck, planting deep kisses along the way and leaving red marks in their wake.
Natalie arched her neck as her delicate hands tightly gripped Brandon’s arms. She couldn’t help but let out a soft whimper, saying, “Don’t.. Don’t do it here..
Brandon buried his head into her supple bosom. Rubbing her red nipples through the thin clothes, he asked in a hoarse voice,”Should we go to the bedroom?”
Before Natalie could respond,he scooped her up into his arms and strode purposefully to the bedroom.
Natalie wrapped her armsaround his neck and softly uttered his name, “Brandon!!
With her captivating Voice resonating through his ears, Brandon’s Adam’s (apple twitched lightly. He kicked the bedroom door open and threw her into the plush, expansive bed.
Brandon mounted the bed and covered her entire body with his,[ their bodies becoming perfectly aligned.
“Brandon…” Natalie murmured his name once more.
