Chapter <b>634 </b>


    N grabbed Vrie’s hand and tried to exin.


    “Vrie, I didn’t mean to hide this from you. There’s so much going on behind the scenes,” she said.


    Vrie pulled her hand away. “What kind of hardship could justify lying to me all these years?<b>” </b>


    Taking a deep breath, N slowly recounted her experiences over the past few years.


    <i>A </i>


    Vrie listened, her anger gradually shifted to surprise and heartache.


    In the end, she hugged N and cried. “I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.” -1


    N, also in tears, returned the embrace. “I’m the one who should apologize.”


    Watching the misunderstanding between the two women clear up, Brandon finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    He turned to Damon and said, “Uncle Damon, thank you for bringing Aunt N over.”


    Damon frowned. “Didn’t I tell you? She’s not your aunt.”


    Brandon nced at him. “Uncle Damon, don’t you like her?”


    “Why would I like her?” Damon replied.


    Noticing Damon’s frown, Brandon couldn’t help but chuckle. “If you don’t like her, then why did you stop Vrie from finding her? Why did you personally bring her over?<b>” </b>


    “I stopped Vrie because she would wake Buddy if she entered the vi. Bringing N over was just a side task,” Damon answered.


    <b>“</b>Just a side task? Uncle Damon, you’ve never been this kind–hearted,” Brandon teased.


    Damon’s gaze hardened. “You think you know me that well?”


    Realizing he was displeased, Brandon raised an eyebrow. “No, I just think you’re a bit oblivious when ites to feelings. Sometimes, you unintentionally hurt the people who matter most to you.”


    Damon fell silent, but a strange emotion flickered in his eyes. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    After Vrie calmed down, Brandon decided to take her home while N would return to the vi with Damon.


    “N, I’lle by to see you tomorrow,” Vrie said.


    N nodded. “Sure.”


    She turned to Brandon. “Mr. Brandon, thank you for tonight. I’ll treat you to dinner another time to show my appreciation.”


    Brandon smirked and replied meaningfully, “Dinner isn’t necessary. There’s someone else you should be thanking. We’ll head back now, Aunt N. Goodbye.”


    Upon hearing him call her “Aunt N“, N’s face flushed. She was about to exin, but Brandon stepped on the gas and drove away.


    Turning to Damon, she noticed him watching her with a deep gaze that made her feel a bit uneasy. She quickly looked away.


    “Mr. Sumner, thank you for tonight,” she said.


    Damon studied her profile, his gaze darkening as Brandon’s words reyed in his mind. He frowned slightly.


    “It’ste. Let’s head back,” he replied.


    e drive home, neither of them spoke, but a subtle tension filled the air.


    Once they reached the vi, N got out of the car and, after a quick goodnight, hurried, inside.


    Damon watched her hasty departure, his eyes narrowing instinctively.


    It wasn’t until N was back in her room with the door closed that she finally exhaled, leaning against it as her heart raced.


    She didn’t understand what was happening to her. For the past few days, she would feel flustered whenever she was around Damon.


    Meanwhile, Damon withdrew his gaze and, after watching her disappear from view, headed to his study.


    Just as he reached the door, his phone rang.


    Upon seeing Luca’s name, a flicker of surprise crossed his face as he swiped to answer. “Yes?”


    “Mr. Sumner, we’ve identified the people behind Stephen,” Luca informed him.


    After hearing what was said on the other end, Damon’s expression darkened, a chill settling in his eyes.


    “Are you sure?” he asked.
