Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1366

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Valarie cut Brandon off, her gaze sharp with accusation.

Brandon hesitated, caught off guard for a moment.

After a brief pause, he nodded. "Yes, I did. Because I don't like how much attention you're giving Stefan. If it had been any other server handling the bill, would you still be questioning me like this?"

"There's no 'if.' I chose to be with you again, which means I'm not holding onto anything with Stefan. So, there's no reason for you to single him out," Valarie

replied.

Brandon's expression darkened slightly. He opened his mouth as if to speak, then held back. "Alright. I understand."

"Good. Let's go home," Valarie said, and the car fell into silence.

When they finally arrived at the Weir residence, Brandon broke the quiet. "Valarie, don't you think... things between us aren't the same anymore?"

They were supposed to be a couple, yet they tiptoed around each other-testing boundaries, afraid to say the wrong thing.

Valarie pressed her lips together, lowering her gaze. "We're back together, but what happened before doesn't disappear. It's going to take time to get things back to how they were."

Brandon let out a bitter laugh, the fear lingering in his chest.
