Elena Bush clenched her lower lip and her whole body shivered uncontrollably, not sure if it was from anger or from the cold shiver from the wind that had hit her this night.
Cornel Brown took a deep breath, his face a little more determined, “Elena Bush, if you really want what’s best for him, then you should think of his future for him, not ruin the rest of his life!”
“Mr Brown!” Elena Bush interrupted just in time, “You let me weigh up the matter for myself ……”
“There is no room for further consideration in this matter, Edward Ford has given me time for tomorrow, one day.”
Cornel Brown was about to say something else when Elena Bush had sunken her face, “Even if it’s only a day that’s my business, I can’t just say yes, I need time ……”
Even …… an hour would be good.
Cornel Brown sighed lightly seeing that there was no point in talking, “Then get back to me tomorrow, I’m here for the Brown Group, otherwise you’ll be with Logan Brown for the rest of your life and I’ll have nothing to do with it, just blame Edward Ford for being so unforgiving in this area. .”
Elena Bush tried desperately to squeeze out a light smile and a soft look on her face, “I’ll tell Edward Ford my answer straight away, no need for you to worry about it.”
“Then how do I know what you’ll say to him ……”
“But even if I told you the answer, so what? You can’t do anything about it all the same, and it’s going to Edward Ford, so if that’s the case, why can’t I go to him myself?”
With a look of determination, Elena Bush refused his request outright.
Cornel Brown scratched his hair, but in the end he had no choice but to sigh in chagrin, “Forget it, it’s all up to you, but don’t let me down!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t harm Logan Brown.”
After all, that was the man she loved, so how could she let that happen?
Cornel Brown gave her a deep look, a touch of invisible guilt came over him, knowing that the decision he had made earlier was more decisive and firm than ever, but he himself hesitated when Elena Bush was about to make a decision ……
Elena Bush looked at him with a disgruntled smile, “Mr. Brown, no matter what, I do at least respect you as his father, but …… I hope you can promise me in the future to forget about Jacqueline and Yolanda and accept him with all your heart. of accepting him.”
They both cared for each other, but the gap between them over Jacqueline and her mother had never been resolved, and it had even gotten worse.
Cornel Brown’s throat caught, “This is a matter for us, father and son, not for you.”
“I wouldn’t want to if I could, it’s just that ……” Elena Bush gritted her teeth, “you want him to have a good life, and I want him to have peace of mind.”
Cornel Brown froze for a moment, meeting her gaze and surprisingly for a moment was afraid to meet it.
Elena Bush’s lips curled into a light smile, “Has Mr Brown finished? it’s time to go back.”
Cornel Brown rose at his words and gathered up everything on the table, not forgetting to glance at her before he left, his lips moving as if he had something to say.
Elena Bush stepped in front of that and assured her, “Don’t worry, only you and I will know about tonight, no one else.”
With her promise, Cornel Brown dropped his heart, even if his heart didn’t like Elena Bush, he knew better than anyone that she would do what she said she would do.
“That’s fine.” Cornel Brown nodded, then turned to leave without a moment’s hesitation.
Elena Bush was left alone in the large villa after Cornel Brown had left, and she sat quietly on the sofa, her body cold to the bone.
She didn’t know how long it would be before the door opened and she woke up from her dream, her vision blurring until she rubbed it to see who had entered the house.
Logan Brown was obviously not expecting the little woman to stay in the living room, and he bumped into her just as she entered, immediately pulling his face down and rubbing her shoulders angrily, “Why are you still here at this hour? Don’t you know to go to your room when you’re tired?”
The shoulder under his hand was cold, and he wondered how long he had been here.
Logan Brown immediately turned up the air conditioning a few degrees before picking up a blanket to cover her body, “You didn’t know to wrap up in a blanket when it was cold, what if you catch a chill?”
Elena Bush couldn’t help but smile, “Who asked you to come home so late.”
Logan Brown was furious, “Didn’t Jacob tell you I was in a meeting?”
“But I wanted to wait for you.” Elena Bush pouted as she hugged him, “Besides, I didn’t know when I fell asleep so I couldn’t go to my room either, who told you not to be home?”
Logan Brown didn’t know whether to laugh or be helpless at the little woman’s sophomoric remark.
“So it’s my fault?”
“Yeah.” Elena Bush nodded immediately, but roguishly leaned into his arms for a tight hug, her voice muffled along with it, “Has the company been busy lately?”
“Fine, it’s manageable.” Logan Brown stroked her hair, the soft feel of it making him reluctant to let go.
Elena Bush bit her lip and looked up at him sulkily, “So …… you don’t even miss me?”
“Hmm?”
Logan Brown turned his head to look at her with some surprise, unsure of the reason for her sudden pouting.
Elena Bush looked at his mute look and was furious, so she gritted her teeth and repeated, “Are you really stupid or just plain stupid? I’m asking you, you’ve been at the office for so long and you haven’t even thought to send me a message or something, is it because you don’t miss me?”
She was so angry and annoyed with him when he was at home, but today he left her hanging. …… She would like to be by his side all the time if she could ……
Logan Brown looked down at the little woman’s depressed face and couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s wrong with you today, so fond of pouting?”
“Hmph!”
She looked away, not looking at him, not caring what expression he had on his face.
He patted the top of her head gently and continued to soothe her, “I’m sorry I’ve been so busy with work today that I’ve neglected your feelings, I won’t do that again.”
“And you were mean to me the first time you came back!” Elena Bush said in a righteous voice.
Logan Brown choked on his words for a moment and retorted, not very convincingly, “But it was you who fell asleep in the living room and I was angry, not because I was worried about you.”
The summer nights were already a bit cool, and with the air conditioning on, what if she had fallen asleep in here and gotten sick?
Elena Bush didn’t listen and grunted relentlessly, “No matter, you just aren’t allowed to be mean to me!”
