Chapter 78

“But, but…”

As Savanna spoke, she started crying. She knew that anxiety wouldn’t help, but Mandel was not cured
yet, so she did not want to be separated from her boy.

Savanna’s cries seemed to be torturing Brandon’s heart.

He scratched his head in irritation. “Don’t cry, okay?”

Savanna’s voice was nasal, “What do my tears have to do with you? You’re happy because Mandel is
not your son. Brandon, I suspect that you have conspired with your mother and grandfather.”

Brandon admitted it. “Even if I wanted to take Mandel back, I would never use harsh ways. Savanna, I
think you don’t understand me at all.”

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 “Mandel is not your son” said by Savanna.

Brandon could not help but laugh. “How come he isn’t my son? Savanna, do you think you can have a
kid alone?”



After being teased by Brandon, Savanna broke into a smile, and the atmosphere became lively.

On Savanna’s tear-stained face was a bright smile. Brandon was in a daze while looking at her. “That’s
more like it. You should smile more. Ben often says that you have a beautiful face but you are always
cold.”

The two had never talked like this. In the past, Brandon would never mention Ben in front of Savanna.
Savanna heard Brandon’s words and asked curiously, “Did Ben say that?”

“He said you are a cold durian.”

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,

“Cold durian?”

Savanna was surprised.

Durian was stinky, and Ben thought of her as a cold one. Savanna was displeased and gritted her
teeth. “How could he?”

Savanna held a grudge against Ben in her heart because of this.

“I will convince my grandfather, but you have to give me some time.”.

Brandon made a promise.

Hearing Brandon’s 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. “How
long will it take?”



She asked.

Brandon unconsciously placed his finger on Savanna’s lips. The scorching heat penetrated Savanna’s
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 Savanna’s cheeks as he breathed into her ear.
“Don’t worry, even if I can’t convince them, I will steal Mandel for you.”

With Brandon’s 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 woman’s nails
were pressed hard against her palm, leaving behind bloody and painful crescent-shaped marks.
However, she didn’t frown from the pain. Turning her face, Tracy looked at Avery’s room with vicious
eyes. Savanna’s illegitimate son was in the Cassel’s 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 Jim’s words. Ever since Mandel was taken
away by Avery, Savanna’s 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 Brandon’s number.

The call connected after two beeps.

Not hearing Brandon’s voice for a long time, Savanna asked, “Are you busy?”

Brandon’s voice was mixed with the rustling sound of writing with a pen. “I’m dealing with the last
document. What’s the matter?”

Savanna hesitated. She bit her lips and said, “Brandon, I want to meet Mandel.”

Brandon replied with OK without thinking.

“I’ll come to pick you up after this document is processed.”

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, Brandon’s black
Cayenne stopped in front of her. The car window was rolled down, revealing Brandon’s handsome
face. Savanna walked around the car, sat in the passenger seat, and buckled her seatbelt before they
headed for the Cassel’s house.

Savanna came to see Mandel, and Avery couldn’t 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 Savanna’s 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 couldn’t 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, “I’ll send you off.”

Seeing that Savanna did not refuse, Brandon took the car key and went out. Not long after, he sent
Savanna to the Thompson’s home.

As soon as the car stopped, Savanna thought of her work and asked, “Thank you for approving my
company’s proposal.”
