Redmption 239


    I needed toe up with a reason… The phone in my hand vibrated twice. It was a message from


    Lisa. 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 her


    suggestion was worth trying. I just needed toe up with a good reason to show Brandon this side


    of 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 just


    break 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 nning to


    live together. I never expected that Chris wouldn’t see it, and now Brandon would.


    I looked at the ck silk nightgown, which showcased my curvaceous figure in stunning detail. The


    ck color, with its touch of mystery, contrasted sharply with my fair skin. It created a striking visual


    impact.


    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 arrived


    right on time. It was better than me trying to find a reason to approach him. But I wondered what he


    wanted at thiste


    four Condit be that he also wanted to


    My checks were burning. I raised a hand to pat them and nced at my reflection in the mirror. As I


    walked 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 though


    it was muffled by the door.


    I swallowed nervously. I looked at myself once more, took a deep breath, and pulled the straps of


    my 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 avoid


    embarrassment.


    Brandón stood outside, holding the catmeal. His gaze fell on me, and I clearly saw his Adam’s apple


    move. The effect was quite impressive.


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


    reached out to him and yfully 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 that


    I 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 yfully


    mess with him.


    As he handed me the bowl of oatmeal, my fingers brushed against him, and I felt the bowl tremble


    slightly. But the next moment, he steadied looked deeply into my eyes.


    His gaze was intense, almost like a flickering me…


    and


    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.
