Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1388

Of course, every time they visited Valarie's home, Phoebe would subtly-or sometimes not so subtly-hint that they should get married.

Brandon had always assumed Valarie wasn't interested in marriage since she never responded to those hints. He hadn't considered proposing.

That thought filled his heart with warmth.

After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.

Brandon nodded. "Sure. What are you in the mood for?"

"I'm not picky. Is there anything good around here? I don't feel like going too far," she replied.

Brandon paused, then said, "There's a place with ethnic cuisine nearby. I went there once for a business meeting-it was pretty authentic. Want to give it a try?"

"Sounds good," Valarie said.
