GoodReadChapter 949 After shesitation, Valarie decided to put the matter out of her mind for now. She drew the curtains, grabbed her pajamas, and headed for the shower. The next morning...
After getting up and freshening up, Valarie went downstairs and noticed Brandon sitting at the breakfast table with her father.
She hesitated for a moment but quickly walked over and sat down, pretending nothing was wrong.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrandon smiled. "Valarie, your car is at my place, so I cto give you a ride to work." "I told you before that I'd have the driver pick it up from you," Valarie said, her tone flat.
"You'll have a hard twithout your car this morning," he replied calmly.
Valarie felt a twinge of annoyance. She could always ask the driver to take her or even call a cab-what was the big deal? She didn't respond, but her expression betrayed her irritation.
Sensing the tension, Jonathan stood up and said, "I've finished breakfast. I'll head to the office first. Since Brandon is here, let him give you a ride to work today." With that, he quickly left, unwilling to meddle in his daughter's personal matters. It was better for them to sort it out themselves.
Now, only Valarie and Brandon remained in the room. She ignored him, focusing on her breakfast as though he wasn't there.
"Valarie, do you not want to see me?" Brandon asked softly.
Valarie's expression remained neutral. "There's no need to ask questions when you already know the answer." Brandon looked hurt. He was silent for a few moments before speaking slowly. "Valarie, I know you're still angry. I want to give you the tyou asked for, but I'm afraid... the longer this drags on, the more you'll want to pushaway." Noticing the unease in his voice, Valarie pursed her lips.
After a long pause, she finally asked, "Brandon, will you really keep your distance from Michelle?" Brandon recognized the hint of hesitation in her voice and quickly replied, "I promise. If there's a next time, no matter how much I beg, don't forgive me. "These past few days, all I could think about was how upset you were it felt like my heart was burning... Valarie, I never want to argue with you again." In the past, when he saw couples arguing on TV, he would scoff, dismissing it as childish . He never understood how simple matters could escalate into fights.
en It wasn't until he started dating Valarie and experienced their arguments-especially the silence that followed that he realized how painful it was. Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Valarie sighed softly. "Alright, I forgive you." Dragging out the conflict any longer would only deepen the hurt for both of them.
Brandon's face lit up with relief. He was about to speak when Valarie added sharply, "But I won't give you a third chance. If I ever see you tangled up with another woman, we're done." Her tone was firm, her eyes leaving no room for doubt.
