Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Redmption 239

I needed to come up with a reason… The phone in my hand vibrated twice. It was a message fromLisa. It was a GIF of a woman in a sexy nightgown striking a seductive pose after a bath.

Lisa had added a note.

“You could give it a try.”

I sent back a facepalm emoji. Although I scolded Lisa internally for being inappropriate, I thought hersuggestion was worth trying. I just needed to come up with a good reason to show Brandon this sideof me.

I went to the bathroom to shower while brainstorming reasons.

Using Eden’s message as a reason might not work. If I mentioned it, Brandon would surely stop me.Asking him to fix the water pipes wouldn’t work either since the pipes were fine, and I couldn’t justbreak them.

Saying I was hungry and asking him to cook seemed like a good idea.

With this reason in mind, I hastened my shower. Then, I put on the sexy nightgown I rarely wore.

Speaking of this nightgown, I bought it when Chris and I got engaged because we were planning tolive together. I never expected that Chris wouldn’t see it, and now Brandon would.

I looked at the black silk nightgown, which showcased my curvaceous figure in stunning detail. Theblack color, with its touch of mystery, contrasted sharply with my fair skin. It created a striking visualimpact.

It wasn’t just my vanity. Even I found it enough to make one’s mouth go dry and leave people…

“Knock, knock.”

There was a knock on the door. At this hour, it couldn’t be anyone else but Brandon. He had arrivedright on time. It was better than me trying to replace a reason to approach him. But I wondered what hewanted at this late

My checks were burning. I raised a hand to pat them and glanced at my reflection in the mirror. As Iwalked toward the door, I asked, “Who’s there?”

M’s me. I made you a bowl of oatmeal Brandon’s voice still sounded deep and pleasant even thoughit was muffled by the door.

I swallowed nervously. I looked at myself once more, took a deep breath, and pulled the straps ofmy nightgown slightly lower before opening the door.

I was actually getting hungry,” I said as I opened the door. I quickly found a reason to avoidembarrassment.

Brandón stood outside, holding the catmeal. His gaze fell on me, and I clearly saw his Adam’s applemove. The effect was quite impressive.

In my mind, four words floated by, but I pretended not to understand. I

reached out to him and playfully praised him, “You’re really on point with the boyfriend duties.”

Brandon looked away and handed me the oatmeal. The tips of his ears turned red again, so red thatI suddenly felt I could use this opportunity to tease him.

At that moment, I really thought I was being wicked, taking advantage of. his innocence to playfullymess with him.

As he handed me the bowl of oatmeal, my fingers brushed against him, and I felt the bowl trembleslightly. But the next moment, he steadied looked deeply into my eyes.

His gaze was intense, almost like a flickering flame…

I felt a sudden flush of nerves and had a bad premonition, so I quickly tried

to pull my hand back, but Brandon didn’t let go.
