Chapter 316 Wife Will Definitely Blush After Seeing

Brandon got up a bit irritably and went outside to pour himself a drink.

Besides Knox, Finnian had also come along on this business trip.

He was staying in the room next to Brandon's. Having just finished his shower, he saw Brandon, who had been working all day, still up late at night drinking. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you drinking at this hour?"

Brandon took a sip without looking up, glanced at him expressionlessly, then looked away again, his tone rather unfriendly. "Can't I have a drink late at night?"

The more Finnian looked, the stranger it seemed. He hadn't done anything to upset Brandon, had he?

Then why was Brandon being so sharp? As if he was ready to explode.

Something was off.

Brandon was definitely off!

Finnian stepped forward, planning to get to the bottom of it and help Brandon out. "Brandon, what's bothering you? Tell me about it. What's the point of drinking alone? If you talk about it, maybe I can help you solve it."

His words carried more gossip than genuine concern.

Hearing this, Brandon took another sip of wine, then replied, "In that case, take on more of the work these next few days. I need to go back home early."

Go back home?

Hearing this, Finnian's brain clicked, and he immediately thought of Candice.

He immediately asked, "Did something happen with your wife?"

At the mention of Candice, Brandon's expression darkened a shade.

Finnian immediately knew he'd guessed right.

He boldly asked again, "Brandon, do you miss your wife?"

Brandon didn't deny it.

Finnian made another bold guess. "For you to be this anxious, could it be that your wife has a suitor after returning to Silverlight City?"

Brandon's expression became even more unpleasant.

As if one more provocation from Finnian would make him explode on the spot.

"I knew it!"

Finnian slapped his thigh. He'd really guessed right.

This action earned him a cold glare from Brandon.

Unfazed, Finnian continued, "Brandon, don't be angry. This work can't be postponed, there's nothing we can do about that. But you really do need to show your face more in front of your wife.

Just calling and texting every day definitely isn't enough. You need to video chat with her, let her see you more, remember you, make her miss you too, feel your presence and charm."

Brandon looked indifferent. "Isn't my charm enough already?"

Finnian was at a loss for words, then could only go along with him. "It's enough, which is exactly why you need to make full use of it! Your charm isn't just this face, there's also this body."

After saying this, Finnian simply went ahead and pushed Brandon down onto the sofa.

"What are you doing!"

Brandon looked somewhat displeased at being manhandled.

"Don't ask, I'm helping you!"

Finnian replied while roughly grabbing Brandon's collar and pulling it open.

Brandon's expression darkened until it looked like water could drip from it.

Just as he was thinking about throwing Finnian out the window from the eighteenth floor, Finnian got up from him, dusting off his hands and looking at his handiwork with satisfaction.

"Perfect, now it's complete. Video call your wife right now!"

Without waiting for a response, he grabbed Brandon's hand to unlock the phone, found Candice's profile on WhatsApp, and sent a video call.

After that, he propped the phone up on the table in front of Brandon.

Having done all this in one smooth motion, Finnian felt something was still missing. He stepped forward and messed up Brandon's hair, then said, "Brandon, trust me, looking like this, your wife will definitely blush. Have a good chat with her!"

Then he leisurely went back to his room.

Brandon was full of doubt. Would Candice really fall for this?

Little did Candice know that Elijah had deliberately provoked Brandon late at night, so that when she had just gotten out of the shower, she received a video call from Brandon.

She found it quite strange.

Wasn't it late at night on Brandon's end?

Why a video call?

Still, Candice answered it.

The first thing she saw was Brandon sitting on the sofa, with large floor-to-ceiling windows behind him and foreign architecture in the night view outside.

None of that was particularly noteworthy.

What was most eye-catching was that at Brandon's collar, three buttons of his pajamas were undone, revealing attractive muscle lines and collarbones.

He sat in a casual and lazy posture, holding a wine glass, his hair slightly messy, his eyes carrying a hint of haziness.

That handsome face, in the dim lighting, looked wild, alluring, and sexy.

When Candice's image appeared on the screen, Brandon looked at the camera, his expression seeming a bit dazed.

But this didn't prevent their eyes from meeting.

From Candice's perspective, Brandon's gaze was both deep and direct.

Candice fell strangely silent for a few seconds, suddenly remembering that night in Seaside City in the lounge when he had helped her find release.

At that time, if she remembered correctly, Brandon hadn't even taken off his clothes at first, only his jacket. His shirt and that messy hairstyle were just like now.

Desire and coldness coexisting, with a touch of wildness.

Something was wrong!

Her thoughts were wrong!

After snapping back to reality, Candice's gaze immediately withdrew from him as if burned, her eyes darting elsewhere. She couldn't help but ask, "What's up? It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Brandon's thoughts had also returned by then.

He had clearly seen the change in Candice's expression and suddenly realized that Finnian's method seemed somewhat useful.

Though not quite enough to truly seduce her, it at least made Candice slightly shy.

The irritation in his chest suddenly vanished completely. The corners of his mouth curved up slightly with satisfaction. "Elijah said you didn't come home last night and stayed up working. I was worried about your health. And of course, I wanted to see you."

Candice nodded vaguely and answered, "There was an emergency last night, so I went to help my mom. I'm fine. I just finished showering and was about to sleep."

Brandon took a pleased sip of wine and seized the opportunity to chat with her more, asking, "Do you encounter this kind of situation often? Aren't you supposed to be busy with the research institute? If this happens a lot, it must be exhausting."

Candice didn't know his real thoughts and answered somewhat absentmindedly, "Not really. This kind of situation is only occasional. Even if it happened often, I couldn't always go over.

My mom has her own team and colleagues. They handle their own work. Besides, I have a new project at the research institute recently and I'm also very busy. I don't have that much time."

After hearing her answer, Brandon could finally relax.

In other words, she and Tristan wouldn't be in frequent contact or working together often.

Having gotten the information he wanted, Brandon didn't probe further.
