Love Has Its Will

Chapter 302

Seth’s lie was flawless.

Savanna did not doubt him at all. But her disappointment tightly wrapped around her. She felt that Brandon was still angry.

She wanted to call him, but she hung up before he answered.

Savanna stood by the window of the bedroom, waiting. Yet Brandon did not call back.

Moreover, Brandon went to Spiritual Mountain with Jim.

Jim asked Brandon, “Why didn’t we just invite him over?”

Brandon said, “He has traveled all over the world. We don’t even know if he is here right now. Let’s see if we are lucky.”

Brandon leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed.

Jim knew that recently, Brandon hadn’t been eating and sleeping well because he was worried about Savanna’s illness. And there was a lot of work in the company waiting for him to handle.

Even in such a messy state, the Thompson Group performed much better than last quarter.

Brandon was indeed a business genius.

Jim drove. He looked back at the three guys in the back seat. Thinking of the long road, he was still a little worried. Because the road was far, it was inconvenient to bring too many people. Jim had to pick a few strong men to go with them.

The car passed through several cities and headed straight for Spiritual Mountain. The road was getting more and more rugged. Initially, Jim thought that there was a problem with the navigation system. Seeing that the distance from Spiritual Mountain was smaller than before, he felt that the direction should be correct. He stepped on the accelerator to the end and the speed of the car soared.

The car bounced up and down. In the end, it broke down. Jim started the car several times but it just wouldn’t move. He turned back and said to Brandon, “The car broke down.”

Brandon got out of the car. Then, Jim and the other three men in black also got out. After a while, the car still didn’t work. A man in black lay at the bottom of the car and fidgeted for a while. When he got up, his face was full of black stains. “Mr. Young, there’s a problem with the host.”

Brandon looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, then looked down at the navigation on his

phone. He estimated that Spiritual Mountain should be in front of them. So, he decided to walk to Spiritual Mountain.

Because they could not find the way, they did not approach Spiritual Mountain by the time it was dark. Jim was exhausted. He panted heavily and shouted to Brandon, who was in front of him, “Mr. Young, let’s take a break and eat something.”

Brandon stopped walking, untied his suit, and sat down on a big stone. Jim took two bottles of water and two packs of bread from the men in black.

Jim walked up to Brandon and handed him the water and bread.

They ate the bread with water.

The sky gradually darkened. Jim looked at the gloomy mountain ahead and suggested, “Mr. Young, it’s getting dark. Let’s stay here tonight and leave tomorrow at dawn. Is that okay?”

In fact, Brandon didn’t want to rest, but when he turned around, he saw that people were all exhausted. It seemed that they didn’t even have the strength to eat. So, Brandon could only agree.

Then, they set up tents.

Jim and the other people were really exhausted, so they laid down immediately after the tents were set

Brandon lay down in his tent, his heart filled with different matters. He took his phone, wanting to call Savanna, only to find that the phone was dead, and there was a missed call from Savanna.

He found the power bank in his bag and then called Savanna. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

After one second, the phone was connected.

“Hello.”

“Savanna, I am on a business trip. I left in a hurry this morning. I didn’t have time to tell you.”

Brandon took the charger, opened the speakerphone, walked out of the tent, and stood in the dark mountains, looking at the dark mountain on the opposite side.

“I know. Seth told me. Where … are you going on a business trip?” Savanna asked.

Brandon said, “Washington, I have a business deal here. I have to come over and check the strength of the company. The Thompson Group is currently in the rising period. We can’t be careless.”

Brandon seemed to have already thought of an excuse. Savanna on the other side had no doubts.

After the two chatted for a while, Brandon said,

“Take care of Mandel and wait for me to come back.”

“Okay.”

The call was over.

Savanna looked at the phone page when the call was over. Suddenly, she felt worried. So, she sent a video request to Brandon.

But Brandon didn’t pick it up.

Savanna looked at the rejection displayed on the screen and felt a little upset.

“Are you still angry with me?” She immediately sent a text.

Brandon quickly replied to the message. “No, it’s too late. It’s a little inconvenient here. We’ll video call tomorrow.”

Savanna sent ‘okay’ and stopped talking.

Brandon did not send her another message.

Savanna looked at the last message on her phone. Her attention fell on the words ‘It’s a little inconvenient here’.

Business trip, inconvenient… Those words gave Savanna a horrible feeling.

Words like “affairs, cheating” flooded Savanna’s

mind.

Knowing that she was beginning to let her imagination run wild again, Savanna fiercely pinched her thigh several times. She ordered herself not to suspect Brandon anymore. He was on a business trip to build a better future for the

Thompson Group, and he said it was inconvenient because it was too late. It was definitely not because there was a woman beside him.

Savanna had sworn to believe in Brandon. No matter what Brandon said, she would believe it.

Brandon was such a proud person, yet he cried in front of her. That was only because he was deeply in love with her.

Crying in front of the woman one loved was not a display of weakness, but because he loved and cared about her too much.

Brandon looked at the word “okay” sent by Savanna and exhaled deeply. He controlled himself to not accept the video call from Savanna. Once the video was connected, Savanna would know where he actually was.

He did not want to lie to Savanna, but, if Savanna knew that he was desperate looking for medicine for her, she would feel guilty, and she would worry for him.

Savanna had a dream in which Brandon was bitten by a snake. The wound on Brandon’s hand was bloody. And the blood was dark.

It was a poisonous snake.

Savanna woke up in a sweat.

She stroked her wet hair on the forehead and walked to the window. Looking at the night sky outside the window, she felt worried.

There was a voice downstairs. She vaguely heard the voice of Lizeth. Then she saw Lizeth run out of the villa. In the dim night, she saw a man walking to the Cayenne. It was Seth.

Where was Seth going so late?

Lizeth ran up, grabbed Seth’s hand, and whispered something in his ear. Seth nodded to her, then got into the car, and drove away.

When Lizeth turned back to the villa, Savanna her face through the light of the car that had just passed by. Lizeth looked full of worry.

Savanna hurried downstairs. Lizeth happened to come back from the outside.

When Lizeth saw Savanna, she was stunned. After a moment, she turned back, look outside, and then smiled, saying “Savanna, why did you wake up?”

“It’s so late. Where did Seth go? Did something happen?”

Lizeth shook her head. “Something happened to Seth’s uncle. He rushed over. Seth did not tell me the details.”
