Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 94

This scene caught me off guard and made me instantly sober. It was pretty awkward-a woman stuck between two men.

I needed to make a decision to break this stalemate, and one thing was clear. I could never be with Conrad. If I had to choose between the two men, it would only be Brandon.

I almost got married to Chris. There was no way I would break up with him and end up with his brother instead.

"Conrad, I'm tired," I finally said.

Conrad tightened his grip on me for a moment before finally letting go.

Still holding my hand, Brandon led me away. I didn't look back, but I could feel Conrad's gaze following me.

Either due to the alcohol or my chaotic mind, I stumbled on the hotel's steps. The next thing I knew, Brandon was carrying me.

"Put me down," I said, clutching his clothes.

"If you want him to give up, stay quiet," he whispered.

Recalling Conrad's words, I remained still. I could be in a situationship with. anyone, but not Conrad. I saw him as a brother, like my own flesh and blood.

I'd never thought of him romantically. This relationship was precious to me, and I didn't want to ruin it.

Conrad was a reserved man who didn't easily express love and wouldn't persistently pursue someone. If he believed I had feelings for someone other than Chris, he would likely back off. In the end, I allowed Brandon to carry m

into the hotel lobby, but he didn't put

me down until we reached the door to my room.

I knew of Conrad's feelings for me, so naturally, I could also tell Brandon had feelings for me. Since I had cut off Conrad's feelings, I might as well put an end to Brandon's too. Chopje d

While Brandon let go of me, I continued clinging on to him. Grabbing the front of his shirt, I looked him boldly in the eyes.

"Brandon, you're a handsome man," I said, my words equally bold.

"Mmhm." He was generous enough to let my eyes feast on him.

Given courage by the alcohol, I lifted my hand and traced the bridge of his tall nose. "There must be a lot of women who are interested in you." "Mmhm." He was pretty confident.

I chuckled, moving my fingers to the corner of his eyes. "Kara likes you too."

I wasn't betraying Kara. It was just that her feelings for him were written all over her face. Brandon wasn't blind. He had to have noticed even if I didn't spell it out for him..

"How about you? Do you like me?" This time, Brandon asked me directly.

I was slightly taken aback, then I shook my head. "No, I don't."

Brandon narrowed his eyes, but he didn't ask why.

I explained anyway. "Brandon, I don't want a man who attracts other women, because... I don't like fighting over my man.

"I want someone who

as you are."

"Alright," he replied.

I laughed. "What do you mean by alright?

He looked completely unperturbed. "It means I understand."

I couldn't quite wrap my head around his response, and I didn't plan to. My hand moved down to the angular lines of his face, before finally resting on his

shoulders.

"Brandon, don't seduce me, and don't be too nice to me." With that, I withdrew my hand and took a step back, but Brandon pulled me closer by my waist. "Whether I like you or pursue you is my choice, and you're free to respond however you wish. Just focus on yourself and don't try to control my actions." Huh? He left me confused. He liked me but didn't want me to interfere?

"So, you're saying that you'll keep seducing and flirting with me?" I asked directly.
