A Wound that Never Heals Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Nathen, It’s You!

By the time Braylen brought Darlene back to the villa, it was already past midnight.

When the car arrived at the gate, Darlene, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up, “How about pulling off here?”

She had not been back for two years. She knew that her grandmother and younger brother had come here. Coupled with the large Swale family, it seemed that she was not prepared to face so many people.

It was not because they had not seen each other for two years that she was unfamiliar with everyone there, but that she felt unfamiliar with her current self.

When she came back with such a face, it was as if there was a sense of guilt in her heart, making her afraid to face so many relatives.

There was no light in the villa. It was past midnight, so the Swale family had fallen asleep.

When Braylen returned to Baltimore, he mentioned on the phone that he would bring Darlene back and explained many things in the past two years.

However, he did not say that he was already in the city. Firstly, he wanted to give his family a surprise, and secondly, he was afraid that Darlene would change her mind.

He followed Darlene’s instructions and parked the car outside the gate. He thought that Darlene had just met Avery, so she was not in a good mood.

So he complained, “If I had known that you would meet that man, I would not have brought you to the police station. I would have gone there by myself tomorrow morning.”

Just now, his friend called and asked if he had received the files, causing Darlene to accidentally press the horn button and almost let Avery find her.

However, with her current face, even if Avery saw her, he would not recognize her.

Darlene shook her head. “It’s fine. Since we are back in Baltimore, we will meet sooner or later. I don’t care. Let’s go in.”

Braylen continued driving and teased Darlene, “Look how nervous you are. You are going to see your parents, not your in-laws.”

Darlene followed his words and joked, “You are right, good boy.”

Only then did Braylen remember that when he was outside the police station, to deceive

Avery, he opened the car door and got into the car to call Darlene “Mom”.

Braylen was taken advantage of, and he was so angry that he scolded Darlene with a smile, “You heartless woman, you have no manners in front of your brother. Be careful, or your mother will beat you up.”

Just as he finished speaking, the lights in the villa lit up.
