Chapter 461 Your Mom Is Coming to Pick You Up

"Seriously? Just taking a walk? That's more important than picking out wedding invites?"

Something felt off.

Isabella knew Brandon too well; this wasn't like him at all.

She didn't call out to him. Instead, she decided to tail him quietly.

Brandon kept walking, totally clueless that someone was on his trail. He headed straight to the servant's quarters and knocked. "Sam?"

"Uncle Brandon!" Sam's excited footsteps echoed as he flung the door open. "You here for me or Ruby?"

His eyes lit up, clearly hoping for some fun time with Brandon.

Being cooped up in his room after school every day must've been driving him nuts.

"I'm here for you, buddy." Brandon bent down and ruffled his hair. "Your mom's coming to get you."

"Really?" Sam's eyes widened.

"Yep, let's go," Brandon said, taking his hand. "I'll walk you over."

"Yay!" Sam jumped up, but then paused. "Wait, I forgot something."

He dashed back inside and came out with his little backpack stuffed to the brim. "Okay, Uncle Brandon, let's roll!"

"What's in the backpack?" Brandon asked, curious.

"Not telling," Sam grinned.

Brandon wanted to tease him. "Well, then I might just leave you here."

Sam clung to Brandon like a little monkey, wrapping his legs around him. "No way! I wanna see Penelope!"

"You little rascal..." Brandon chuckled.

Isabella watched from the shadows.

Lately, Brandon had been all moody and distant whenever they talked.

She thought it was work stress.

But here he was, laughing it up with Sam.
