Chapter 158

I didn't say anything and just listened. I didn't want to upset Brandon by saying something wrong. I was also thinking about my own parents' car accident. Was it truly an accident, or something more sinister? I was really young when their accident happened and didn't know the details. Zack had dealt with everything. Perhaps he was the only one who knew what really happened. I would ask him when I saw him later.

Seeing that I wasn't speaking, Brandon remained quiet as well, and we continued in silence.

The Gildons had inputted my car details in the automatic gate recognition system, so I was able to drive straight into their yard.

The housekeeper was in the yard. When she saw us, she greeted me warmly. "Maddie, you're back! I'll go inform Mr. and Mrs. Gildon right away."

"There's no need, Xena. I'll head inside myself," I said with a smile.

Her gaze flickered to Brandon, who had gotten out of the car and walked to my side. I knew she was curious about his identity, so I held his arm and said, "Xena, this is my boyfriend, Brandon." While Xena was a housekeeper, she had spent a longer time with the Gildons than I had. She also had a close relationship with Bree. So, it was also necessary to put on a show for her. Brandon nodded at Zena politely. "Hello, Xena."

"Hello," Xena said while looking at me. Her disapproval was evident.
