GoodNovelChapter 1316 Brandon noticed Nyla's cold attitude and sat down in silence. Neither of them spoke until Damon returned with the fruit.
"Why so quiet?" he asked.
Nyla took the bowl of strawberries from his hands. "Nothing to talk about." Damon looked slightly surprised. Nyla rarely made her feelings about someone so obvious.
He turned to Brandon and asked, "Did you do something to upset my wife?" Brandon was speechless.
He was innocent! He hadn't even seen Nyla recently-how could he have offended her? Then it hit him. Valarie must have told her everything during her visit earlier. That had to be why Nyla was siding with her friend and giving him the cold shoulder.
Realizing this, he grew anxious. "Aunt Nyla, I swear, there was nothing going on betweenand that friend. Valarie misunderstood." "Oh," Nyla said flatly. "Then go explain it to her.

Brandon had always been steady and composed-it was rare to see him so flustered.
Nyla placed a chicken wing on Damon's plate. "Eat up, or the food will get cold." Damon smiled. "Alright." Brandon sped toward a high-end restaurant.
The drive usually took 40 minutes, yet he made it in under 30.
As soon as he stepped out of his car, he spotted Valarie sitting by a window-with another man.
Through the glass, he could clearly see her soft, shy smile and the subtle way she teased the guy across from her.
Brandon clenched his fists, his blood nearly boiling.
How could she promise to take him back if Miche stayed away from , only to turn around al have dinner with another man?! His face darkened as rage and Stration surged through him.

Are you looking for someone, or—" "Move." Brandon's voice was ice-cold, his eyes burning with fury.
