Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 227

I thought of that contact. "Your father's death was likely because of my father. I need to investigate this to get to the bottom of it."

Brandon looked at me. "Did you find something out?"

"What about you? Why are you looking for Arthur? Why are you suspicious of him?" I turned the question back on him.

He stood up and walked over to the window. His tall, strong figure looked like he could handle anything, even if the sky were to fall.

Seeing him like that, I set down my teacup and walked over to the window. "Brandon, I understand you must have discovered something too. This is dangerous, and you don't want me involved. But since this concerns my parents, there's no way I can stay out of it."

I gazed out at the moonlight. "I'm not that foolish. I can take care of myself. Besides, you're here with me, right?"

Brandon glanced at me. After a moment, he finally said, "You're just as stubborn as you were when you were a kid."

I smiled at his words and turned to face him. "Brandon, you must've known my identity for a while. Did you approach me just to investigate your father's death?"

His brows furrowed. "Is that what you think?"

"Yes."

His lips parted as if he was about to say something, but then just gave a helpless smile. "Is my charm that worthless to you?"
