My Secret Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2294: Chapter 2287: His Attitude Satisfies Her

But in front of her, he would always rein in his aura, always showing her his gentlest and most comfortable side.

Which made Aria Rowlett forget.

Actually, Brandon Heath was quite a temperamental person.

"Are you saying she hit you in the mouth so hard that you bled?" Brandon stayed silent for a long time and when he spoke, his voice was heavy and oppressive.

Aria hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Her mouth had indeed been bleeding at that time.

If it weren’t Lady Octavia, who happened to be Brandon’s mother, Aria would have definitely slapped her back.

Once more, Brandon fell silent.

His face bore an extremely restrained and guilt-ridden expression.

He had promised to protect her, to never let her suffer any grievances or harm.

Yet now, the person who hurt her and mistreated her was none other than his own mother. noveldrama

He couldn’t even stand up for her.

"Brandon, you shouldn’t blame yourself anymore. This has nothing to do with you." Seeing him hanging his head in silence, Aria comforted him instead. "This isn’t your fault. You don’t have precognition to foresee that she would do such things."

"If you had known she would do this and yet didn’t stop her, then I would definitely think you’re an asshole. But you didn’t know anything, so it isn’t your fault. Don’t feel sorry for me because of this."

"Aria." Brandon slowly raised his head, his cold eyes full of remorse. "You don’t blame me, but I blame myself. I never expected the one to hurt you would be my own family. My closest family."

"You know, I feel an immense guilt right now."

"Why do you feel guilty? I already told you, it’s not your fault."

Brandon shook his head with a bitter smile. "My family hurt you, and I can’t even stand up for you now. If it were anyone else who dared to touch you, I could repay them a thousandfold. But that person is my mother..."

"I understand." Aria softly covered his mouth with her hand. "I know everything. Brandon, even if you were to stand up for me, I wouldn’t let you confront your own mother. Plus, I think you’ve already stood up for me, so I’m not angry now."

"When did I stand up for you? In what way?"

"When you told your mother that you wanted me. When you threatened to sever your relationship with her for me. Brandon, you’ve done more than enough for me. For you to say such words against your mother for my sake, I’m satisfied."

At least, it proved that he stood on her side.

Regardless of whether he would truly sever ties with Lady Octavia.

His attitude was enough to satisfy her.

Originally, what she wanted was just his attitude.

Brandon was dumbfounded.

Aria curved her lips, reached out to hook her arm around his neck, lowered his head, and gently kissed him on the lips. "Really, you’ve already done enough for me. So don’t blame yourself anymore. I don’t want to see you unhappy at all."

"If you’re unhappy, I’ll be unhappy too. And if I’m unhappy, the baby in my belly will definitely be unhappy too. So, for the baby’s sake, let’s both be happy, alright?"

Brandon’s gaze flickered and it gently fell on her abdomen.

Aria grabbed one of his hands and pressed it onto her belly, "Just now, our little baby kicked me. He’s getting quite strong."
