NovelEnglishChapter 304 I asked, "Why didn't you pick up?" "I will," Brandon answered nonchalantly. "I'll go out and take the call. As for you, it's about tyou get out of bed and wash up for breakfast." I blinked in surprise. "You made breakfast?" I thought he had been sleeping next tothe entire time, but he actually got up and made breakfast at one point. He probably cback to bed when he saw that I was still sleeping and decided to do sbedside reading.
I should have expected such disciplined behavior from someone who demanded excellence of himself.
"I made you banana pancakes and yogurt to make up for the electrolytes you lost," Brandon elaborated, stroking my hair. It felt nice to be pampered like I was the most important person in the world to him. Brandon left the room to take the call. I pulled my hand out from under the covers and stared at the ring that now adorned my finger. I snapped a picture of it and posted it on my social media, captioning it with a I stayed under the covers and scrolled through my social media for a while before deciding to get up. When I noticed Brandon still speaking on the phone, I padded into the bathroom to wash up.
Only upon entering the bathroom did I realize that the ointment Lisa had prescribedwas down to half a tube. I frowned. Last I checked, I barely used a quarter of it.

"I don't hear the water running," Brandon suddenly said from the door.
The only way I could hide my embarrassment was to pretend I hadn't noticed anything amiss, so I sang teasingly, "That's because I'm waiting for you to join me." Brandon froze, and I saw his throat bob. I could tell I had stirred something within him. By "something", I meant his most primal urges.
I didn't want to over-exert myself so early in the day, so I pretended that I hadn't sensed the shift in his behavior and looked away from him. As I hurried to wash up, I said, "Better get my pancakes ready, or I'll be late." "You won't," Brandon replied.
"Do you see the time, my dear? It's late," I pointed out sardonically.
"Our flight's at 10:00 am. We can still make it," Brandon said breezily.
I froze at his words. I had been looking at him through the mirror, but I was so shocked at that moment that I whirled to pin him with an incredulous look. "Sorry, what did you- did you just say 'our flight'? Flight to where? Are we going on a business trip?" "Sure," Brando replied as he turned on his heels and left to plate my breakfast.
Baffled, I went after him and demanded, "Now, hold on just a second! I need a little more detail here. Where are we going? Why wasn't I informed of this?" "Didn't Mr. Roulder tell you about this?" Brandon asked.
Chapter 304 2/2 I blinked. I vaguely remembered Xander tellingto clear the work I had on hand. Nodding slowly, I said, "He did." "Well, this is it," Brandon said.
I couldn't understand what was happening. What was it? I clarified, "But he never mentioned where I would be going or that I would be traveling with you!"

"Since you're traveling with me, I believe I get to decide where have been sweet What he said would where we go." if it weren't so out of the blue. I was about to argue when he raised a hand and brushed the damp hair curling at my temples. "Dry your face and have your breakfast." He entered the kitchen after that, leavinggaping after him like an idiot.
However, I dropped the matter and continued washing up. I even dabbed on smakeup before leaving the bathroom.
While I was getting ready, Brandon had plated my breakfast and was waiting forwhile reading the news on his tablet. He was impossibly patient, and he did not once rusheven though I tended to take my tin the bathroom. He didn't snap at me, either.
I glanced at the tand noted it was 8:00 am. Brandon toldthe flight was at 10:00 am, and it was a m half hour car ride to the airport from thouNcar here. We had to arrive at the airport at least 40 minutes in advance, and we hadn't even eaten breakfast yet. We were cutting it pretty close at this point.
Suspecting this might be a prank, I asked tentatively, "Brandon, are we really going on a business trip?" "It's not really a business trip. I just needed you to cwith me," Brandon said. He was deliberately keepingguessing.
I sat across him and eyed the mouth-watering fruit platter before me. I speared a fruit cube and M popped it into/my mouth, pressing, "Will you please tellwhere we're going?" Brandon locked his tablet and picked up his utensils. "We're going to pick up Ellie." My eyes nearly bugged out of my head. He noted my surprise and chuckled. "You were the one who toldto X
