The misunderstanding made Brandon uncomfortable. Especially since Angelica already had a boyfriend and she was also Richard's sister.He sighed, shaking his head in frustration. "Mom, really, it's not what you think. We're not—"Unfortunately, Brandon's mother just smiled widely, ignoring Brandon's attempts to explain. "It's okay, Brandon, I'm even happy to see you two finally together. Moreover, Angelica..." Brandon's mother paused, looking at Angelica with a smile on her face, "Beautiful," she continued.Brandon sighed again. It seemed his mother was indeed stubborn. When Brandon wanted to explain again, it was too late because his mother had already hurried away, as if intentionally leaving them alone.Seeing his mother was no longer in her place, Brandon let out a long sigh. His face was no longer friendly after what had just happened.Feeling frustrated because his mother wouldn't listen, Brandon finally looked at Angelica, who was just silent while staring at Brandon.Seeing Bra

"Mr. Brandon, I've finally found you," Brianna greeted with a smile.All eyes turned to Brianna, who had just addressed Brandon. She wore an elegant red dress that flowed to her ankles, with long black hair cascading beautifully. Her lovely eyes were hidden behind dark sunglasses, adding to her beauty and mysterious allure.Brandon, who had been visibly annoyed by his old friends' taunts, was now surprised by Brianna's arrival. She stood before him, smiling and somewhat easing his irritation.Brandon quickly stood up, ignoring Frans and his friend who were still standing nearby. "Miss Brianna," Brandon said politely, bowing slightly. "I didn't expect you to arrive so soon," he added.Brianna smiled again, pleased that Brandon was willing to meet her, considering that in their last encounter, she had ignored Brandon and even asked him to leave.Still smiling, Brianna replied, "I didn't want to keep you waiting too long, Mr. Brandon. Besides, we have important matters to discuss."Frans

Brianna remained in the same position, staring at Brandon with a serious gaze. She didn't even acknowledge Brandon's words.Brandon sighed, looking annoyed at Brianna who seemed to be toying with him. "Please don't joke around too much, Miss Brianna," Brandon said again. "Don't you realize some guests are staring at us?" Brandon then tried to help Brianna back to her seat, glancing at the people now watching them.Although there weren't many patrons in the restaurant, Brandon didn't like being the center of attention, especially now that some guests were looking at Brandon and Brianna alternately, whispering things Brandon could easily guess."This is something I didn't expect," Brandon finally muttered.Seeing Brandon's expression, Brianna smiled and said, "I'm not joking, Mr. Brandon. For a long time... I've wanted to marry someone who impresses me for the first time. And that someone is you." Brianna paused, looking at Brandon, who was indeed different from others. Satisfied, she c

Brianna was still in shock. She certainly never expected Brandon to be a medical expert. The man had never even mentioned his expertise.Brianna looked at Brandon seriously and asked, "Is this true, Mr. Brandon? Are you Miss Angelica's personal doctor?"Before Brandon could answer Brianna's question, Jose spoke up again. "Of course, Miss Brianna. Mr. Brandon is truly an expert. He even cured Miss Stella's father, who had been sick for a long time. No other doctor had succeeded in curing him." Jose recounted this with great enthusiasm.Jose's memory was still vivid. He was amazed and could never forget it.Meanwhile, Brandon smiled awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable with the praise given by Jose. He raised his hand, trying to stop the flow of enthusiastic words from Jose, who had been talking excitedly."Dr. Jose, please. You're exaggerating," said Brandon, who seemed to dislike it. "And it was probably just a miracle. I'm not what you think."But Jose shook his head firmly. "No, Mr. Bra

"Besides, it's unusual for you to still be up at this hour, Angelica. Is something bothering you?" Richard asked again, looking at Angelica intently.Angelica sighed at Richard's question. Why did she feel like she was being interrogated now? If she had known it would be like this, she would have chosen not to greet Richard and let him go wherever he wanted."The air in my room felt stuffy, that's why I decided to get some fresh air outside."Richard narrowed his eyes, feeling that Angelica's answer wasn't entirely truthful. "Are you sure? Isn't the air conditioning still working?"Angelica swallowed nervously. She knew Richard could easily see through her lies."I... I just needed some alone time to think," Angelica said, trying not to sound nervous. She took a deep breath before continuing, "There are some things that have been bothering me lately."Richard softened his gaze. "What's bothering you, Angelica? You know you can talk to me."Angelica hesitated for a moment. Actually, sh
