Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 162

Jaxon walked into the study and closed the door.

He took out his phone and dialed a number he'd saved for long yet never actually called before.

Brantley's voice came from the other end. "Hello, who am I speaking to?"

Upon hearing that, Jaxon concluded that Brantley didn't even save his phone number. Jaxon considered hanging up the phone but then quit the thought. "This is Jaxon speaking." Brantley was briefly stunned before he spoke, "What's up?"

"Is it convenient for you to talk on the phone now? I mean, is there anyone next to you?" Jaxon loosened his tie.

"What do you want to say?" Brantley was driving home alone after seeing off Giovanni and his daughter.

"Did you go to Lugrea Restaurant on East Mountain Road for dinner today? Mikayla saw you having dinner with Giovanni and his daughter," Jaxon muttered.

Brantley remained silent, so Jaxon continued, "As Juliet's best friend, Mikayla won't keep it from Juliet. Be careful!"

"Why are you telling me this?" Brantley was all too aware that their brotherly rivalry continued behind closed doors although they avoided open conflict. Brantley thought, 'He worries that I'm going to take the family assets away. How can Jaxon possibly be so kind to me?' "Brantley, we are brothers! Compared with those outsiders, we're blood-related, right?" Jaxon changed to a comfortable position, sitting on the couch. "I tell you this to do you a favor. I hope you can help me when I'm in trouble in the future."

Brantley sneered, "Those who are not my brother would also tell me when they can do me a favor."

"Brantley, you must be kidding. Remember to save my number. We are family. I don't want to hear you ask who is speaking next time when I call you."

Jaxon had a hunch that one day he might ask Brantley for help.

After ending the call, Jaxon went back to his bedroom, took a shower, and went to bed early.

The dinner with Mikayla was very unpleasant. Since Mikayla didn't want him to invite her to dinner alone again, his next step was to get Mikayla to ask him out voluntarily.

When Winona returned to the bedroom, she saw Jaxon asleep on the bed.

"He must be tired after a hard day's work,' she thought.
