Chapter 691
“This time it’s for real, I promise!” Brandon argued.
He spoke with unwavering conviction, but Damon merely looked down, unwilling to engage with him any further.
Brandon let out a sigh, feeling the weight of his troubles with no one to confide in. He asked again, “Uncle Damon, are we still drinking?”
“When did I agree to drink with you?” Damon replied.
Brandon sighed, realizing he had misplaced his hopes.
After turning the car around to drop Damon off at his villa, they arrived just as Nyla and Oliver were coming out, holding hands with Mason.
The three of them wore smiles, appearing like a warm, happy family.
Brandon noticed Damon’s souring mood and instinctively quieted his breathing, fearing that Damon would take out his frustration on him.
The group soon spotted Damon, and Nyla bit her lip before saying, “Mr. Sumner, I’m taking Buddy home.”

Seeing that Damon had no response, Nyla frowned, a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes.
Why did Damon seem off today? It had felt strange ever since he asked her to give him a ride to the
auction.
Oliver noticed Damon’s gaze and met it without flinching, his eyes calm and unafraid.
Once they were standing directly in front of Damon, he finally addressed Nyla, “Are you free this weekend? Buddy mentioned he wants us to take him to the zoo.”
Nyla nodded. “Sure, I don’t have any plans. The zoo is close to our place. Let’s meet at the zoo entrance at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.”
Damon’s previously sullen expression softened slightly as he subtly glanced at Oliver before replying, Alright.”
