Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 227

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.

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."

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

"Yes."
