Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 393

"Yeah, but I don't take a shower every time I wash my hair." Brandon's words made me chuckle.

"Whatever. Just hurry up, or it'll be morning when you're done." I quickly pushed him into the bathroom, afraid that he might drag me in if I were any slower.

When I first met Brandon, he came across as aloof and rugged, the kind of man indifferent to women. But I realize that once he let loose, he was unstoppable like the momentum of a flood that could burst through a dam.

I cleaned up the table while he was showering. It was a habit I picked up from my parents since I was a kid, which was to never leave dirty dishes overnight.

I was still tidying up the kitchen when the doorbell rang. At first, I thought I misheard, thinking it might be someone ringing a doorbell in another room.

But as the doorbell continued to ring persistently, I realized it was indeed my room. Who could it be this late?

I grabbed a napkin to wipe my hands and suspiciously walked to the door. Though Brandon was here, I still had the habit of asking. "Who is it?"

"It's me!" The two words that followed made my body tense.

It was Chris. Why was he looking for me so late? Plus, he had acted like a stranger when we had met today.

As I hesitated, Chris began pounding on the door. I knew he wouldn't leave if I didn't open it.

It was late at night, and while he might not care about disturbing others, I found it embarrassing.

I reached out and opened the door. Chris stood there with a pale face and slightly disheveled hair. One of his hands was half-raised as if he was about to knock again.

I frowned. "Chris, what are you doing?"

"Maddie, why didn't you answer my calls?" His words reminded me of the phone that had been ringing incessantly while I had made out with Brandon.

The light in my eyes flickered. "I didn't hear it. You…"

I wanted to ask what he wanted, but he grabbed me before I could finish. "Come with me."
