Chapter 664 In Love Again


    After the call ended, J had to press her face against the pillow to keep herself fromughing too


    hard.


    She realized that Brandon had developed a knack for blowing hot air when he had to say something


    embarrassing.


    A whileter, Johanna saw her daughtering downstairs with a huge grin, and then she nced


    at the suitcase in her hand. "You''ve packed since day one. Are youfinally leavingnow?" "Things are


    going more smoothly than I initially thought," J replied. "I still don''t know what happened to


    Brandon, but things seem to be getting better."


    "Well, it only goes to show that you''ve made the right choices," Johanna said kindly as she reached


    out and pinched J''s cheek. "It''s gettingte and I''m afraid it won''t be safe for you to take a cab


    alone. How about I ask our family chauffeur to drive you there?"


    J didn''t even try to refuse. "Okay."


    Johanna saw her daughter off and reminded her to take care of herself.


    Just before she got into the car, J turned to her mother and said in a somber tone, "Mom, can


    you do me a favor?"


    *******


    Just like that, J moved back into Brandon''s vi in Barnes.


    Since she was now living with him, he naturally spent more time at home.


    He rarely went to work on weekends and just stayed with J instead.


    She couldn''t help but reminisce the time when they had just been married. The only difference was


    that Brandon now seemed more introverted and reserved than he had been in the past.


    J studied the man sitting across from her on the balcony, reading. She went into a trance,


    feeling like she had been transported to two years ago.


    Brandon never returned to Seacisco, not even for a quick visit. Needless to say, Charis was on the


    edge.


    She hadn''t seen him in over a week. She had always been around Brandon until recently, so she


    was able to keep an eye on him. Now that he was in the same city as J, she was rapidly


    spiraling into a panic.


    On the second weekend, Charis flew to Barnes under the pretext of inspecting the progress of their


    company''s ongoing project. She deliberately brought some documents with her and took them to


    Brandon''s vi.

    He was visibly surprised when he opened the door. "What are you doing here?"


    Charis already had an answer prepared for this very question. She held up the stack of papers to


    him. "I''m here to send you these files. We need them for Monday''s meeting. It''s urgent, so you''d


    better deal with them right away."


    "All right," Brandon said indifferently as he took the folders from her. "You can head back now."


    Charis mustered a small smile and asked, "Aren''t you going to invite me in?"


    Her heart ached at his dismissive attitude, but she did her best not to show it.


    It wouldn''t be polite to turn her away at this point, so Brandon sighed and said, "Pleasee in."


    Charis entered without a second''s hesitation.


    After all, her real purpose foring was to see how things were going between Brandon and


    J.


    As soon as she stepped inside, she spotted J lounging on the sofa in her pajamas, munching


    on an apple while watching TV.


    She looked back at the sound from the door and called out, "Do we havepany? Are we


    expecting anyone today?"


    J was addressing Brandon, but her eyes locked on Charis.


    With a bright smile, J tilted her head to the side and asked, "What brings you here, Miss


    Turner? Don''t you take a break even on weekends?"


    "I came to ry some important documents to Brandon," the other woman answered calmly. "I


    thought it would be nice to pay you a visit while I was here."


    "Oh." J raised her eyebrows and gave her another faint smile. Then she went back to her apple


    and continued watching television. She had no interest in talking to Charis any more than was


    necessary.


    Brandon walked toward the staircase. He was going to his study to take care of the work that had


    just been dumped on hisp. He passed by the sofa on his way and noticed that J was leaning


    closer and closer to the TV. He lightly knocked a folder against her head.


    "Don''t get so close to the TV. You''re going to damage your eyes."


    J rubbed the spot on her crown and red up at him. "Yes, yes, I know already!" she grumbled.


    It was an innocent and ordinary exchange, but Charis found it incredibly rming.


    Had these two been getting along so well in such a short amount of time? Their rtionship had


    been terrible just a while ago. How did things change so fast?


    Although Brandon and J weren''t so intimate and sweet as they had been before, they still


    looked like a real couple now.


    Charis knew she would be done for if she still failed to separate them. Brandon was obviously in


    love with J again. If this continued, all of Charis'' efforts would be in vain.


    She was at a loss. After Brandon disappeared upstairs, she murmured an excuse and fled the vi.


    Charis was in a thunderous mood on her way back.


    She couldn''t think of any other way to possibly alienate Brandon from J.


    Clearly, inciting any form of discord between them wasn''t a permanent solution. As long as J


    was still alive, Charis would never have a chance to be with Brandon.


    Her only option now was to kill the woman. Charis needed to get rid of J once and for all.


    Charis gritted her teeth at the thought, her nostrils ring. She knew she was running out of time.


    She needed to act while she still had Brandon''s trust.
