“If you don’t have anything else to say, leave,” Brandon said impatiently.

Elisa stood up and blocked his way.
“Forgive my frankness, but | know about you and my father,” Elisa said steadily.
Brandon's eyes suddenly focused on her. Elisa could finally see ssort of reaction on his face.
She continued hurriedly, “You treated him as your biological father, and he loved you like his own son.

She only wanted to let him know her next course of action; he would undoubtedly start paying attention to her now.

Brandon watched her leave without glancing back. The annoyance in his eyes only disappeared when he couldn't see her anymore. But, it was replaced with a complicated emotion.
