Love's Redemption

Redmption 267



I felt like my whole body was on fire. It was as if I had a fever. I recalled scenes from the last time I teased him and remembered what Lisa had said as

"Brandon, have you ever slept with another woman?" Even though he had said he never had a girlfriend, I decided to ask again just to be sure. Brandon's gaze deepened. "No."

That word made my heart tremble. "Do you want to?"

His jaw tightened, and the next moment, my vision became dark as I felt the overwhelming sensation of his lips pressing against mine. By the time he But instead of continuing, he pressed his forehead against mine and said, "How long are you going to test me? Or do you just want to torture me?" Seeing his suppressed desire and the way he clearly wanted me but was fighting to hold back, I cupped his face. "Do you really want this? Is this desi As I asked these questions, I was once again reminded of how deeply Chris' casual words had hurt me when he said he wasn't interested in me. "Yes," Brandon breathed heavily, "only for you."

Upon hearing this, I closed my eyes and felt that something in my heart had let go.

"Made.." Brandon's voice calling my name was cut off by my kiss. This time, I pulled him closer.

"Should we wait a little longer?" Brandon asked at the very last moment, restraining himself.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Wait for what?" My voice was trembling.

"When we get married," Brandon's gaze was intense.

I looked at him and said, "Even if we get married, if you're not sincere, you'll still betray me."

"I won't," he kissed the tip of my nose lightly. "I'll never betray you, Mae."

He made a promise, but I no longer believed in promises. Chris had made promises to me too, but in the end, he still got involved with someone else.

In reality, more people got divorced each day than married, so promises were the least reliable thing in the world.

Today, I wanted to connect with Brandon simply because of my feelings for him. I would let nature take its course so that I wouldn't be disappointed even if we were not together in the future.

There was a saying that the greatest pain came from expecting too much and receiving too little in return. So, if one didn't expect anything, one would

"But I can't promise that I won't betray you," I said, sounding like a heartless woman,

Brandon was slightly stunned. So, I gave him a small smile and said, "Brandon, if you're afraid or want to back out, now's your chance."

"I don't want to. If it really comes to that someday, it'll be my fault for not being able to keep you by my side." He murmured against my lips.

My heart ached. Brandon, oh Brandon, you really knew how to hit me where it hurt the most.

When I broke up with Chris, I had the same thought. Perhaps it was partly my fault too that I wasn't goode enough, which made him fall for someone else.

I kissed Brandon again, and this time, I pulled off his shirt...

It was a long night. It wasn't until dawn that I finally fell asleep in the fresh sheets that Brandon had laid out for me.

But even that didn't stop me from dreaming about Chris. He was covered in blood, standing in front of me and calling my name. "Madeline..."

In the dream, I was asleep, but his voice woke me up. When I opened my eyes and saw him covered in blood, I panicked.

“Chris, what happened to you? Why are you covered in so much blood?"

"Madeline, will you feel sad if I die?"

"Chris, why would you die? What's wrong with you?

"Chris, say something...

"Chris! Chris!"

“Mae, wake up. Madeline, open your eyes...." I was woken by Brandon's anxious voice.

When I opened my eyes and saw his worried face, all could see was the bloody image of Chris from my dream.
