Chapter 934: Aunt Angela, Uncle Brandon Is Losing It

In the backyard, Tina was watching over Kiki and Mimi as they played in the garden. She didn't have to do much-both kids were obedient and never wandered off when they were near her. When Brandon sneaked into the garden, Tina spotted him immediately. He looked anxious, turning back every few steps as if worried someone might be following him. Calling it "sneaky" was giving him too much credit-his movements were anything but subtle.

Even Kiki and Mimi noticed him. After taking one glance, they lost interest and went back to picking flowers.

Brandon turned and was immediately met with Tina's calm gaze. He froze, feeling like she could see right through him. Awkwardly scratching his nose, he asked, "Tina, um... you've been getting along well with my nephew-in-law lately, haven't you?" Tina blinked.

Was this some new way of starting a conversation?

She remembered Brandon had called her a few days ago, though he later texted her to say it wasn't important. She hadn't pressed further, but now it seemed like she might have missed something crucial. Feigning innocence, Tina asked, "Uncle Brandon, where's Aunt Angela today?"

At the mention of Angela, Brandon's face fell. He plopped down and began to complain, "Tina, you've noticed too, haven't you? Angela's mad at me! What do I do? She won't answer my calls or reply to my messages. I don't even know where she went..."

Tina immediately stepped back, rubbing her forehead. "What did you do to upset Aunt Angela this time?" "I just..."

Brandon hesitated for ages, unable to finish his sentence. His face turned red with embarrassment. Tina instantly understood. "She didn't accept your proposal, did she?"

Brandon froze, his face flushing a deeper red as he stared at Tina in shock. "How did you guess that?"

Tina gave him a look that said, What do you think?

In this house, was there anyone who didn't know about their relationship?

To Tina, Angela already felt like part of the family-practically Brandon's wife. After all, they'd been together for years. With Alina's wedding just days ago, it wasn't hard to figure out why the two might be at odds.

Brandon spiraled into self-doubt. "Do you think I scared her by being too pushy? If that's the case, I won't mention marriage again. Honestly, it doesn't matter if we get married or not. As long as I can stay by her side, I don't care about those formalities..."

Tina sighed.
