Chapter 1375 Keep Something From Him


    In their daily routine, Brandon showed up at J’s studio when dusk arrived, ready to apany her


    back home.


    Upon entering the space, his eyesnded on J. Seated at her desk, she was hunched slightly, an


    aura of mncholy surrounding her. At the sound of his entrance, J looked up, a strained smile on


    her face, and said, “You’re here.”


    A knot formed in Brandon’s chest. He quickly moved to sit by her, gently taking her hands and scanning


    her face with worry. “What happened? You look drained. Are you ill or is something bothering you?”


    Ever since J’s medical report had arrived, Brandon was acutely aware of her emotional condition,


    fearing anything that might cause her distress.


    He found himself wishing he could stay with J round the clock, just to keep his worries at bay.


    The cause of J’s gloom today was Suzanne’s earlier conversation.


    An unsettling feeling stirred within her, triggered by Suzanne’s words and that smug glint in her eyes,


    bringing J’s own misfortune to mind.


    She harbored doubts that Suzanne was aware of her infertility, perhaps purposefully broaching the


    subject in her presence.


    Pregnancy, however, was a delicate matter between J and Brandon. If she brought it up, his worry


    would only amplify.


    After mulling it over, J decided to keep mum. She forced a smile and said, “I’m alright, just a little


    stressed with work today.”


    But Brandon was not convinced.


    He knew J well enough to understand that work challenges didn’t weigh her down.


    In fact, tougher the task, the more it fueled herpetitive fire and energized her. She definitely


    wouldn’t be this downcast because of work.


    Something wasn’t adding up.


    With a firm look in his eyes, Brandon pressed, “Are you sure nothing’s wrong? J, we vowed


    honesty. Don’t hide anything.”

    “Silly,” J replied, gently brushing his worried face, her voice soft. “I’m truly okay.”


    Despite his persistence, J’s responses remained unchanged. Finally, he relented and said, “Alright,


    but remember to share if something’s bothering you. Don’t keep it all inside.”


    With a nod and a yful grin, J assured him, “Understood, darling.”


    ncing at her wristwatch, she noted, “I’ve got some work left. Could you wait a bit?”


    After saying that, she immersed herself in handling themission of Star Entertainment. Suzanne’s


    words and demeanor may have rubbed her the wrong way, but J was resolved not to let it affect


    her work or her ambition.


    While J was engrossed, Brandon discreetly sent a message to Sean. “Find out from Lexi what


    happened at the studio today. J’s been off.”


    J’s insistent assurances were paradoxically fueling his concern.


    Her appearance contradicted her ims. She was clearly masking her difort to put him at ease.


    Looking at J, Brandon let out a quiet sigh. Such a stubborn girl.


    In the corridor, Sean, having received the boss’ message, quickly stopped Lexi who was on her way


    home.


    What’s the matter, Sean?” Lexi queried. “I need to head home and make dinner.” Cornering Lexi, Sean


    asked cryptically, “Mr. Larson wanted to know if anything unusual happened in the studio today?”


    “What?” Lexi, taken aback, furrowed her brows and pondered. “No, no issues today.”
