"I don't feel secure. Even a marriage certificate, diamond ring, wedding, none of these can give me a sense of security... They're too elusive. Only when you're by my side can I truly feel that you're mine. Otherwise, I'll just feel like I'm constantly losing you."
Iris felt a slight stir in her heart, an indescribable feeling spreading from deep within her.
She seemed to hear his insecurity in Brandan's tone.
Her heart softened because of his words.
"Brandan," she stepped forward, holding his hand, pressing his palm against her face, and said softly, "Give me a little time, okay? As soon as the Lester family's business regains its former glory, and Nathan can handle things on his own, I'll return. Trust me, it won't take long... at most, six months."
Six months.
To bring a near-bankrupt company back to life.
Brandan looked up at her, his gaze carrying a piercing cold light.
He knew she was as outstanding as ever, such a brilliant woman, unmatched in her intelligence.
