Brandon froze, his eyes widening in shock at his mother's statement. Wanting to hear more clearly, Brandon decided to ask a question. However, before he could actually voice his query, he suddenly heard his mother laugh."Hahahaha, Brandon," said his mother, still chuckling. "Mom was just kidding. You should have seen the expression on your face."Brandon frowned, confusion clearly visible on his face. He opened his mouth to ask further, but his mother quickly cut him off."Forget about it," his mother said, waving her hand dismissively. "Now, hurry up and go out. Miss Angelica is waiting. It's not polite to keep a guest waiting too long."Brandon's mother hurried out of the room, shaking her head as if she had just told a harmless joke. Brandon could only remain silent, still trying to process what had just happened.His thoughts were in turmoil. How could his mother joke about something so important? The expression of sadness and guilt he had seen on her face earlier seemed too real

Brandon didn't immediately start the car. Instead, the man looked at Angelica and Chaterina alternately through the small mirror inside the car. His gaze was full of desire for clarity from one of the women currently sitting in the passenger seat.Realizing Brandon's gaze made Angelica sigh. She was indeed a bit wrong for not telling Brandon clearly about this. However, didn't she not need to ask Brandon's permission just to invite Chaterina to come with them?Unable to bear Brandon's gaze full of desire for clarity, Angelica quickly said, "Just drive first, Mr. Brandon, I'll explain later."Brandon sighed, and reluctantly he started the car engine and began to drive the car as instructed by Angelica.Seeing Brandon's reaction made Chaterina only able to smile, she then turned to Angelica who nodded at her.Throughout the journey, Angelica and Chaterina seemed very close in conversation. Even Brandon, who was driving the car, felt like a driver, neither of them invited him into that s

"How about we go over there, Mr. Brandon?"Brandon immediately turned when Brianna pointed to one of the rather scary-looking stalls. Just by looking at its appearance, Brandon could tell that it was a fortune teller's booth.A frown was clearly visible on Brandon's face as he turned back to Brianna and said, "Do you still believe in fortune-telling? Isn't this the modern era?"Brandon was certainly quite surprised by Brianna's request. She was a career woman and very successful, but how could Brianna invite him to a fortune teller's booth?Brianna didn't answer the question Brandon had just asked. Of course, she knew that Brandon must be wondering about this. But she didn't want to explain it in detail. She quickly grabbed Brandon's hand while saying, "There's no harm in trying, Mr. Brandon. Whether we believe the fortune teller or not is a matter for later."Brandon just went along as Brianna pulled his hand. He was actually quite curious about the fortune-telling, even though he wa

Seeing who was standing right in front of Angelica, the woman immediately stood up and wrapped her arm around that strong arm. "Kevin, how are you here?" she asked with an expression of surprise and joy.Kevin turned to Angelica and smiled, "I was worried something had happened to you, Angelica, that's why I followed you."Angelica suddenly blushed, she said, "You are indeed very caring, Kevin, but I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."Their conversation made Chaterina, who of course couldn't take her eyes off them, feel a bit annoyed. Her hands clenched tightly, but she tried to smile. "That's right, Kevin, you don't need to worry about Angelica, I'll definitely take care of her," Chaterina chimed in.Kevin just nodded, his gaze now focused on a man who had been quiet as if he didn't care. He was Brandon, choosing to remain silent even though he knew about Kevin's arrival."Now sit here, Kevin." Angelica pulled out an empty chair for Kevin, where Kevin then sat down with a smi

After finishing paying for the taxi, Brandon immediately supported Ariana. The man now stood right in front of the woman's house.Before pressing the doorbell, Brandon took a deep breath. It had been a long time since he had set foot in Ariana's house since their engagement ended. And this was the first time Brandon had set foot there again.Not wanting to waste time, Brandon immediately pressed the doorbell. He stood in front of the door for a while, until finally, the previously closed door opened, revealing Ellie.Ellie looked in disbelief at the person who came to her house. Instead of being shocked by what happened to Ariana, the middle-aged woman focused on staring at Brandon.Ellie asked rudely, "What are you doing at my house, you bastard!"Ellie still couldn't forget the incident at the company. Where Brandon had hit Ryan, Brianna's brother, until he bled, she now glared at Brandon.Brandon sighed, "You should worry about your daughter before asking questions," Brandon said i
