Chapter 550
It was all because he could take everyone forward and give hope to the poor children.
She didn’t realize until today that Brandon had actually shouldered some heavy responsibilities.
“If you don’t like events like that, I don’t mind attending alone,” Brandon said. He felt bad for Natalie, especially seeing how tired she was. He blamed himself for not taking good care of her.
She was already busy with work, but now she had to attend events like this with him after her work.
Natalie held the back of Brandon’s hand and smiled. “That’s not what I mean. After seeing what happened today, I realized that I can’t just focus on being a designer. I also have to consider my identity as your wife —as Mrs. Larson.”
At that point, she couldn’t help but think about Laney. Although she didn’t have to worry about any family conflicts with Brandon’s parents, being his wife wasn’t as easy as she thought.
She realized that she shouldn’t be so selfish. That she should think more for the Larson Group.
Brandon let out a deep sigh and held Natalie in his arms. “Honey…”
“Let’s just talk about it when we go back. Sean is watching us,” Natalie whispered in his ear. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that Sean had been eavesdropping.
Sean’s eyes widened in surprise when Brandon suddenly glanced at him. He really was eavesdropping.
He cleared his throat and sat up straight.
“Stop the car,” Brandon suddenly said. “You’re off duty for today, Sean. I have to take my wife somewhere.”
“Oh,” Sean murmured as he looked out of the window. It was cold outside and there were barely any people around.
He felt helpless, but he eventually got off the car.
“Aren’t you taking it a little too far?” Natalie asked. “I feel bad for him.”
“He’ll be fine. He can take the cold weather.” Brandon emotionlessly replied while he moved to the driver’s seat and started the car.
Before long, the silver-black Maybach sped off, and the scenery outside kept flashing back until Brandon finally stopped at the seaside.
“Why are we here?” Natalie’s eyes widened in surprise. She wound down the window and let the salty sea breeze blow her soft hair.
She felt much better.
“You painted for me once, didn’t you? I took the painting and asked Sean to help me find out where it was and he told me it should be around here,” replied Brandon shyly. He had been searching for the place for a long time. He was over the moon when he received the good news from Sean.
It then occurred to Natalie that Brandon had lost his memory.
“Don’t look at it. I’ll take some classes before I draw another one for you,” said Brandan hurriedly. He wanted to grab the paper back but Natalie wouldn’t let him.
Brendan was a rare talent and a fast learner. He used to excel in all courses except for art when he was in school.
In university, Garrett loved art and he had many suitors that followed him around. As such, he later used Brandon’s name in enrolling in art classes.
When Garrett got bored and just quit, Brandon had to keep on going to the art classes as he wanted to score well enough to graduate. He never did well though.
He always felt frustrated when it came to drawing as he was embarrassed to show his ugly work to people.
Natalie tried containing her laughter but at last, she couldn’t help bursting out, “I didn’t expect you to have such a weakness! But to be honest, you really do sick at drawing!”
Embarrassed, Brandon caught her in his arms and covered her lips with his hand. “Don’t laugh. Let me try again!” cried Brandon desperately.
The full moon had replaced the setting sun, and the sea rippled under the soft moonlight. After a long time of chasing and playing by the sea, the two of them fell on the sand and laughed happily.
When Natalie got back to the car, her makeup was completely ruined and her shoes were full of sand. However, she didn’t feel embarrassed at all. She felt that she didn’t have to care about her looks when she was with Brandon.
