Love's Redemption

Redmption 283



Brandon had changed into a short-sleeved shirt with cargo pants.

He seemed to like dressing this way, making him look like a stylish secret agent. His physique, which looked perfect due to his regular exercise routine

I took a bite of the chicken and ham sandwich he made and curiously asked, "Do you go to the gym often?

He placed an egg on my plate and said, "No, I work out at home."

"No wonder your push-ups are so perfect," I blurted out without thinking.

Brandon was momentarily surprised before he lowered his gaze. I thought he was embarrassed that I had caught him, but he casually said, "You saw

Now, it was my turn to be at a loss for words, so I quietly focussed on my food.

Brandon's cooking skills were truly top-notch. I never really liked ham, but this sandwich made me realize they could be this delicious.

"Brandon, if you ever stop being an engineer, you could become a chef," I praised him, offering high compliments.

After saying that, I laughed and added, "After all, they're both professionals in their own right."

To

my surprise, he nodded in agreement. "Sure."

Then, I chuckled. "Brandon, why do you always agree with everything I say?"

"A man should always listen to his wife. His response left me stunned, making me blush.

Brandon chuckled softly at that, so I punched him playfully.

"Mae, you look really cute when you're shy,” he whispered.

"Stop saying that," I said, trying to cover his mouth with my hand.

However, he dodged and teased, "I mean it."

"You're still saying it...." I protested playfully.

As we were having fun, my phone rang.

I realized that while phones were convenient, they could also be quite annoying, especially when they interrupted moments like this.

I took my phone out while still in Brandon's arms and saw it was Chris.

At that moment, I was glad I had already changed his name in my contact list. It used to be "My Mr.

Gildon, but if Brandon had seen that, who knew what he would have thought?

"Go ahead and answer it," Brandon said, letting go of me and starting to clear the table.

Watching him busy in the kitchen, I answered Chris' call. "Hello."

That left Chris silent for a long time. I knew he heard it, and it probably shocked him with how distant I sounded. "Do you need something, Mr. Gildon?" I spoke again.

"Did we buy an insurance policy together before?" Chris finally spoke.

His question reminded me of an event we attended four years ago, organized by an insurance company.

They had this so-called love insurance for couples. At that time, Chris and I had just started dating, so we bought one.

The terms were that if the couple married, the insured amount would be doubled, and they could either cash it out or convert it into another policy. However, if the couple broke up, the insurance would automatically become void.

Now that we had separated, the insurance was voided. I wasn't sure

why he was bringing it up now).

"Voided?" Chris seemed shocked.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

I was about to explain when Brandon called out, 'Mae, I've heated some milk for you. Do you want to have it now or pack it?"

I wasn't sure if Brandon did it intentionally, but I knew Chris heard it because he immediately asked, “Are you living with Brandon?"

Hearing the surprise and anger in his voice,

Chris was silent on the other end before hanging up.

I was stunned for a few seconds before walking out of the room.

Brandon handed me the milk and said, "You can drink it on the way to work."

Thinking about how his words earlier had hit Chris, I called out, “Brandon." "Hmm?" He looked at me while I walked closer to him.
