Chapter 708
Realizing she couldn’t escape, Valarie bit Brandon’s lip hard.
Brandon let out a muffled grunt but didn’t release her. Instead, he kissed her even more fiercely.
It wasn’t until Valarie felt as if she were going to suffocate that Brandon finally let her go.
His gaze darkened further as he looked at her swollen lips.
After catching her breath, Valarie raised her hand, ready to slap him.
However, Brandon caught her wrist and pressed his forehead against hers, his voice low. “Valarie, haven’t you ever felt anything for me in these five years?”
Valarie bit her lip and replied coldly, “Brandon, do you even know what you’re doing? Since we’ve both chosen to go on blind dates, why can’t we just leave each other alone?”
“But I can’t bear to see you dating other men,” Brandon muttered.
Valarié took a deep breath, placing her hand against his chest as she looked up at him seriously. “We’re
not suitable for each other.”
“Why aren’t we suitable? What makes us incompatible?” Brandon asked.
“What we want is different. You can’t give me what I want,” Valarie answered.
Brandon chuckled and asked, “How do you know it’s different if you haven’t said what you want? How do you know I can’t give it to you?”
After a few moments of silence, Valarie finally spoke. “I’m in my 30s now, and I’m not interested in dating. I just want to find someone to marry, someone who can help the Weir Group get through this tough time.”
Brandon’s hands dropped abruptly, and he subconsciously took a step back.
Valarie’s heart sank upon seeing his reaction. When she uttered those words, she had a fleeting moment of hope that Brandon would agree.
The outcome was disappointing.
She bit her lip and said nothing more. Without looking back at Brandon, she opened the car door and got
- in.
After Valarie’s car disappeared from sight, Brandon stood there for a long time before finally turning to
leave.
In the following days, Valarie went on a few more dates with Zayn, but her mind was never fully present.
It was Saturday in the blink of an eye.
