Love's Redemption

Redmption 281



Although I had come to terms with my feelings for Chris, it didn't mean the embarrassment and pain were

gone.

"Maddie, why did you keep quiet after suffering such a huge injustice? That house was bought for You should have thrown her out. I would rather give it to a beggar than let her stay there," Bree said stubbornly.

She was the kind of person who can't tolerate any injustice.

That might be why Zack had always remained faithful. Besides loving her, he was probably afraid of provoking her.

Since Chris and I no longer had anything to do with each other, there was no need to discuss this any further. I tried to calm her down by saying, "Bree

"You may be able to let it go, but I can't. I'll have someone take back that house today," Bree said resolutely.

you.

I forced a slight smile before saying, "Even if you drive her out of that house, Chris can just buy another place for her."

Jewel was indeed the third party, but in the end, it was Chris who gave her the opportunity. The real problem lay with Chris, not Jewel.

"If he buys another place, that's his business, but that house belongs to you. No other woman deserves to live there." Bree's words warmed my heart. Her protectiveness felt like that of a mother toward her daughter.

"Bree, I know you're trying to stand up for me and make me feel better, but there's no need for that. Please don't get yourself all worked up." I tried to p If she really made a scene, Chris might think I was behind it.

I didn't want to be entangled with him any longer, especially when Jewel thought I was trying to steal him away.

"I'm not upset. I just want to make them angry! Don't worry about it." Bree was so furious that nothing could calm her down.

So, I didn't try to persuade her any further.

"That bastard, Chris! He's hiding his mistress

in the house he bought for his wife! If I see him, I'll beat him to death..." After another round of cursing Chris, Bree finally hung up the phone.

I put down my phone and stared at the ceiling, recalling the moment Gordon had taken me to see that house.

I didn't know how Bree found out about what happened that day, but I was afraid that Chris still didn't know why I finally decided to break up with him. After lying in bed for a while, I got up and went to the living room.

I didn't see Brandon, so I assumed he was in the kitchen. When I looked, he wasn't there either.

Could he have gone back to his room?

I was about to head toward the door when I heard the bathroom door open, and Brandon walked out.

He looked at me with an expression that was different from usual. This made my heart skip a beat with

unease.

Thinking about how close we had come to starting something earlier, I awkwardly pursed my lips and tried to ease the tension by saying, "I'm hungry. Can you make me something?"

Brandon didn't respond. Instead, he walked up to me.

I thought he was going to continue where we left off, and I raised my hand to stop him.

However, he asked, "What is this?"

I saw him holding the ointment Lisa

had given me earlier. I had left it in the bathroom, intending to usedt after my shower tonight. Brandon had found it instead.

Instinctively, I snatched it back and hid it behind me while glaring at him with embarrassment. "Why are you messing with my stuff?" "Are you hurt?" Brandon's voice was low.

The embarrassment made me unable to respond. So, I turned around and ran into the bedroom, slamming the door shut behind me. Half an hour later, Brandon knocked on the door. "Dinner's ready. Come out and eat."

I didn't respond.

After a moment, I heard him say, “I'm leaving now.”

I let out a sigh of relief.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I was feeling hungry, so I opened the door. However, the person who said he was leaving was still standing right outside, like a guard.

He tricked me?

"Brandon, you... Before I could finish, he had extended his long arm and pulled me into his embrace. Then, he gently rubbed his face against my temple. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault...”
