After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 268

Gabriel immediately sensed something was wrong and said, "No, young people are thin-skinned. How can they say certain things in front of us elders?"

He glanced at Brynn and then gently asked, "Brynn, why don't you two go chat in the garden? No matter what you say, you're still friends."

Ace and Quinlan looked at Brynn, who stood up and nodded, "Okay."

Gabriel looked at the dazed Desmond, "Go and apologize to Brynn properly. You usually talk a lot, but why do you become tongue-tied when you meet Brynn? Ah, you really make us worry."

Ace also laughed heartily, "We were thinking the same. Young people are different from us."

Quinlan's expression softened, and his voice became gentler, "Go ahead. Brynn, show Desmond around."

Desmond adjusted his emotions and politely nodded to the Elise family parents, "Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Elise, for understanding. I will clarify things with Brynn." Whether he meant clarifying things with Clara or Brynn, no one knew.

However, matters of the heart cannot be forced.

If Desmond really didn't like Brynn and didn't want to continue, there was nothing that could be done.

Gabriel gave Desmond a warning look and smiled, "Desmond, as a guest, you should be polite. Know what to say and what not to say."

Desmond nodded, "Got it, Dad."

Brynn took Desmond to the garden, and they sat in a gazebo covered with vines. She spoke first, "Do you still like your ex-girlfriend?"

Brynn spoke directly, just like her straightforward personality.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Desmond sighed. She was completely different from Clara.

It was impossible to say he wasn't moved at all, but he still loved Clara. However, he couldn't tell anyone about his dilemma.

Desmond paused before speaking, "We've known each other since we were kids. I used to see her as my sister. Later, when we started dating, I realized it was different from seeing her as a sister... I can't figure out my feelings for her now, it's a mix of familial and romantic love."

"We have many years of feelings. If I said I had none, you wouldn't believe it."

Desmond spoke half-truths.

Brynn didn't find it insincere and nodded frequently, "You're quite honest."
