Chapter 449

“Do you believe her?” I pressed on, though the real question I wanted to ask was buried far deeper. I had seen the craziness of both Russel and Neil in my past life.

What I feared most was that Russel had some dark secret with Karina because of me. that was the case, I wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Russel moved closer to me; his gaze lowered onto mine. His skin was pale and flawless, his features cool and refined. There was a deep gentleness in his eyes that seemed genuine. His voice was low yet soothing, “Why would I believe her? I only believe in you. So can you stop pushing me away?” At that moment, little Brandon in his arms let out a giggle; his baby voice sounded incredibly cute.

“It seems he agrees. What about Serena?” Russel turned his head to Serena in my arms.

He was deliberately changing the subject, not wishing to hear my response.

Serena was behaving at that moment. It seemed that after being held by Neil for a while, her needs were satisfied. She was in a good mood, gnawing on her little hand and occasionally letting out a giggle.

“Let’s talk about it later.” My mind was in a whirl, unable to think about these things, so I casually replied.

But my casual remark seemed to relieve Russel; the usually cold and aloof man now resembled a nervous little boy. The calm facade he was trying to maintain crumbled, revealing a more relaxed expression.

“Okay.” He bent down to give Brandon a kiss.
