Chapter 1323

Valarie no longer believed Brandon.

"Valarie..." Brandon reached out to take her hand, but she quickly stepped away.

"As for what happens next, let's talk about it after you actually follow through on our bet," she said.

The next morning, just as Valarie finished washing up, she received a message from Stefan.

Stefan: [Good morning, Veevee! Are you up yet? The weather's nice today. Want to go out and have some fun?]

Valarie: [No, I have things to do today.]

Stefan: [Oh... okay...]

Stefan replied almost immediately, his cheerful tone evident. They agreed to meet at the university gate in an hour.
