Chapter 10

Savanna thought, Winnie is not dead. She returned.

The news struck Savanna's temple like a cold nail. She felt extremely painful.

"Brandon, I know you don't love Savanna. You left me at such a critical moment because she incited Giselle to call you back. I don't blame you."

"Why did you pretend to be dead?"

Brandon's voice was painful and angry.

"Don't blame me. I was forced to do it. You saw me now. I ... I'm not sure if you still want me. So I asked the doctor to lie to you. Brandon, I thought a lot during the time we were separated. I have waited for you for so many years. I don't want to give up. If you say that you don't love me and don't want me anymore, I will go back to Ireland immediately."

Winnie's voice was choked with sobs, and she cried several times. How much courage did it take for her to come back with her incomplete body?

The room was dead silent.

Savanna waited with bated breath.

Then she heard Brandon's affectionate voice.

"Winnie, you underestimate me. I love you.

"It is not because of your talent or anything else. I just love you!"

After hearing Brandon's answer, Winnie smiled with tears in her eyes. Savanna, who was outside the room, had her nails dug into her flesh. Pain spread over her palm.

Blood streaked down the corner of her mouth.

Savanna's vision became blurry. She thought, Winnie is forgiven by Brandon even if she faked her death. What great love!

Savanna was heartbroken. Tears fell down her face.

Her trembling fingers could not hold the glass of juice as if she could not hold her happiness.

Hearing a bang, Brandon opened the door and walked out. When Brandon raised his head and met Savanna's tearful face, his deep eyes flashed with astonishment.

Finally, Brandon moved his lips and said, "Savanna."

Savanna wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and reached out to pick up the broken glass. Debbie, who was passing by, looked at Brandon and then looked into the room. She reached out to stop Savanna.

Debbie said with a distressed face, "Mrs. Cassel, let me do it."

Savanna took a deep breath and held back the tears in her eyes. She forced a smile and licked her dry lips.

"I choked just now. Brandon, Winnie is not dead?"

Brandon looked at her with a complicated expression. He pursed his thin lips and did not speak. Savanna passed him and walked directly into the room.

In the room, Winnie was sitting in a specially made wheelchair. There was a thin blanket on her knee. When she saw Savanna enter, she was surprised at first. Then she was indescribably flustered.

Winnie said, "Savanna, I don't want to steal your happiness. However, I can't bear to part with Brandon, so I came back."

Savanna's cold gaze circled Winnie twice before landing on her legs. Savanna's silence made Winnie even more nervous. She grabbed her wheelchair tightly.

There was a strange atmosphere in the air.

Savanna suddenly said, "Winnie, you are indeed the top beauty in New York.

"You're so beautiful even without legs."

"Savanna..."

Winnie's face was so pale.

Winnie said incoherently, "Savanna, I know you blamed me.

"But between me and Brandon, you are the other woman. If it weren't for you, our child would have been one year old."

Savanna turned around and stared at Brandon.

"Do you also think that I am the other woman who destroyed your relationship?"

Brandon did not like Savanna's aggressiveness. He turned his face away and said with a cold voice, "Today is Grandpa's birthday. He is eighty years old.

"If any of you dare to talk nonsense, get lost."

Brandon's neutral attitude disappointed Savanna.

Savanna no longer looked at Brandon, nor did she look back at Winnie. She felt that even looking at Winnie would dirty her eyes.

Savanna said to Brandon, "Since you also think that I ruined your happiness, then please be generous and let me go. After today, I will never come to the Cassel's house again. Send it to me after you sign the divorce agreement."

Then Savanna turned around and walked out of the room without hesitation.

Looking at her receding figure, Brandon clenched his fists to prevent himself from chasing Savanna.

"Brandon, Savanna seems to be very angry. She wants to divorce you."

Brandon was irritated by Winnie's words.

He pushed away Winnie's hand and accused her in a complicated mood, "Winnie, you shouldn't have lied to me."

"I didn't mean to do that. Look at me now. Couldn't you just forgive me?"

Glancing at the light blanket covering Winnie's body, Brandon was in a mess.

Savanna had just walked downstairs when she suddenly felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained. Savanna no longer had any extra strength to take another step. She leaned against the railing to rest.

Savanna thought, Winnie returned. My marriage is destined to end.

Just now, when Savanna confronted Winnie, she felt the baby in her belly moving.

Savanna thought, how can a child of one and a half months move?

It must be my illusion.

The baby knew that it was going to lose its father, so it tried its best to make a fuss.

"Savanna!"

The pleasant voice of a man rang in Savanna's ears.

Savanna turned around, and the man came over to her with great joy.

"Cain!"

They had separated for two years. This was the first time Savanna had met Cain again.

Cain seemed to be in a good mood, and he kept clinking glasses with Savanna to express his gratitude for her invitation.

Then Cain asked about the reason why Savanna invited him to the birthday party. It seemed that Cain was looking forward to something.

Savanna said, "When we were in school, you always helped me.

"I saw on the news that you returned to the country, so I wrote your name on the invitation list."

Savanna's answer made Cain a little disappointed.

However, Savanna knew his awkward situation in the Wilson family and knew that Cain was eager to make a career to get the affirmation of the Wilson family.

Cain had just returned to the country. Savanna invited Cain here because the connections of the Cassel family were one of the best in New York.

Cain felt inexplicably excited at the thought of Savanna protecting him like this.

At around eight o'clock, Avery appeared under the support of Harris. After cutting the cake, Avery received people's birthday gifts and returned to his room.

When Winnie appeared on the stairs, Savanna's heart suddenly trembled.

Tracy pushed Winnie down the stairs, followed by Brandon. Brandon was like a protector, silently protecting Tracy and Winnie.

The scene of the three people going downstairs one after another immediately attracted the curious gazes of countless guests.

People started to guess the relationship between Brandon and the woman in the wheelchair.

Then people all looked at Savanna with sympathy. Savanna did not want to bear everyone's strange gazes and walked toward the gate without looking back.

Leo had been secretly observing Savanna's move. Seeing that Savanna was about to leave, Leo immediately chased after her.

"Mrs. Cassel, I'll send you off."

"No, thanks."

Savanna blurted out her refusal.

Cain was chatting with his business partners. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Savanna walking toward the door.

Cain said to his partner, "I'm sorry. Let's talk another day."

Then Cain put the glass back into the waiter's hand and hurried out.

Brandon saw the scene of Savanna and Cain leaving one after the other. It seemed that Brandon was holding back his anger.
