Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1461 Brandon Is Here

In the end, Ellie had to drag Brandon out of the store.

She did not want the crowd, which had gathered to steal a glimpse of the adorable baby, to notice Brandon’s

presence as that would only cause an uproar and congestion in there.

And she knew that alone was enough to tarnish Brandon’s image.

In the end, Brandon could only watch that baby slowly vanish within his vision.

Is there something wrong with my eyes? Why does that kid have such an uncanny resemblance to that woman?

After getting pulled out of the store, he was taken to the building’s penthouse suite to get changed for an upcoming

event at the mall downstairs shortly after.

However, upon arrival at the suite, he headed into the makeup room alone and locked himself in there for a very

long time. He refused to open the door regardless of how hard the staff tried knocking on his door to ask him out.

Sensing that something was amiss, Ellie tried to get in contact with him from the outside.

Beep, beep, beep…

After several consecutive calls, the man inside the room finally answered the call.

“Brandon, what exactly are you doing? The event is starting soon. Why are you hiding in there without getting

changed or putting on makeup? What is this all about?”

At the thought of how time was running out, Ellie immediately urged him when the call got through.

Yet, Brandon did not open the door. After several seconds of silence, he grimly muttered, “Where is Willow? I’ve

asked you to help me look for her. Why don’t you have any updates?”

His manager was stung by his words that her expression changed at once.

Why did he suddenly bring up this woman? I thought he hasn’t mentioned her for some time now?

Countless thoughts ran through Ellie’s mind before she finally answered, “Haven’t I told you? I couldn’t find her

whereabouts. Can we talk about this another time, Brandon? Let’s get over with this event first, alright? We’ll leave

everything for later.”

At this point, she had already given up and was begging for his cooperation.

Eventually, Brandon did come out of the room and attended the event. Despite so, he left right after the event

ended.

That evening, at Hillside Villa, Ichika, who was at home taking care of the child, heard the doorbell ring.

“Did Mr. Solomon forget to bring his keys?”

Wendy walked over to open the door as she said that.

After Sasha and Sebastian left for Jadeborough, they had left Wendy behind to help Solomon and Ichika out since

both of them had no experience taking care of such small baby.

Wendy opened the door.

“Mr. Emmanuel?”

Seeing the man before her, she froze in shock.

On the other hand, Brandon did not answer. Instead, he removed his sunglasses and cast his gaze toward the inside

of the house.

“Where’s the child?”

“What are you talking about?”

Wendy felt her heart skip a beat upon hearing that.

Having served Sasha for so many years, it was no surprise that she knew this matter. As such, a sense of

foreboding grew within her as soon as she saw who was at the door.

On the contrary, Brandon was not bothered about her and looked up toward the balcony on the second floor

instead.

Upon spotting some baby clothes left outside to dry, his immediate reaction was to push Wendy aside and barge

into the house.

“Mr. Emmanuel, what are you doing?” Wendy blanched in horror and hurriedly tried to stop Brandon at his pace.

Of course, there was no way a woman like her could stop a young man like him. It took him no time before he got

into the living room in the villa.

“Nat, look what Mommy has prepared for you.”

“Ah… Mmm… Woo…”

Accompanying a young lady’s gentle voice was a baby’s coos. Following the trail where the voices sounded,

Brandon saw a lady in casual clothing leaning against the edge of the couch, coaxing a tiny baby lying on it.

Brandon’s mind went blank.

Earlier at the jewelry store, he could not see the child clearly as he was a distance away, and besides, she was too

tiny for him to spot her intricate features.

But now, at such close distance, he could finally look at her clearly.

Oh, she looks like an exact replicate of that woman. That small yet pretty-looking face, small pinkish lips… Even the

way she smiles resembles that woman…

Stumped, Brandon stood by the door as he stared at the little one.

“W-Why are you here?”

Right then, Ichika finally noticed the man’s presence and hurriedly carried the baby up from the couch, looking

flustered.

Why is this man doing here all of a sudden? Don’t tell me he has…

Only then, Ichika recalled how the crowd in the mall earlier that day had taken countless snaps of Nat and her. By

then, those photos had already spread like wildfire on the internet.

Instinctively, she felt a pang of nervousness within her.

Before she could head upstairs with the child, the man came before her.

“This is her child, right?”

“Huh?”

With her eyes fixed on the man, who pulled down his hoodie and revealed his blonde hair, Ichika only appeared

even more anxious.

“Who? S-She is my child. Wendy, come over here and bring the baby upstairs for some milk. She’s hungry.”

At least Ichika was still quite quick-witted. Having noticed that the man had been staring intently at Natalie, she

immediately sought help from Wendy to take the child away.
