<b>Chapter 708 </b>
Realizing she couldn’t escape, Vrie bit Brandon’s lip hard.
Brandon let out a muffled grunt but didn’t release her. Instead, he kissed her even more fiercely.
It wasn’t until Vrie felt as if she were going to suffocate that Brandon finally let her go.
His gaze darkened further as he looked at her swollen lips.
After catching her breath, Vrie raised her hand, ready to p him.
However, Brandon caught her wrist and pressed his forehead against hers, his voice low. “Vrie, haven’t you ever felt anything for me in these five years?”
Vrie bit her lip and replied coldly, “Brandon, do you even know what you’re doing? Since we’ve both chosen to go on blind dates, why can’t we just leave each other alone?”
“But I can’t bear to see you dating other men,” Brandon muttered.
Vrié took a deep breath, cing her hand against his chest as she looked up at him seriously. “We’re
not suitable for each other.”
“Why aren’t we suitable? What makes us ipatible?” Brandon asked.
“What we want is different. You can’t give me what I want,” Vrie answered.
Brandon chuckled and asked, “How do you know it’s different if you haven’t said what you want? How do you know I can’t give it to you?”
After a few moments of silence, Vrie finally spoke. “I’m in my 30s now, and I’m not interested in dating. I just want to find someone to marry, someone who can help the Weir Group get through this tough time.”
Brandon’s hands dropped abruptly, and he subconsciously took a step back.
Vrie’s heart sank upon seeing his reaction. When she uttered those words, she had a fleeting moment of hope that Brandon would agree.
The oue was disappointing.
She bit her lip and said nothing more. Without looking back at Brandon, she opened the car door and got

After Vrie’s car disappeared from sight, Brandon stood there for a long time before finally turning to
leave.
In the following days, Vrie went on a few more dates with Zayn, but her mind was never fully present.
It was Saturday in the blink of an eye.
Mason woke up excitedly at around 6:00 a.m. He got dressed and washed up before sitting obediently in the living room, waiting for N to wake up.
N didn’t get up until after 7:00 a.m.
When she saw Mason sitting on the sofa, surprise shed in her eyes.
“Buddy, what time did you wake up?” she asked.
“6:30 a.m.,” Mason answered.
N couldn’t help butugh. “Is it because we’re going to the zoo today that you couldn’t sleep?”
Mason nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah!”
“I’ll make breakfast first. Uncle Oliver will being over soon. After we finish breakfast, we’ll set off,” N told him.
“Okay,” Mason replied.
Oliver arrived while N was making pancakes. He walked into the kitchen to help her, and with his assistance, breakfast was prepared quickly. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
During breakfast, N noticed the dark circles under Oliver’s eyes and asked, “Have you been busytely? You look like you haven’t slept well.”
Oliver’s, gaze hardened slightly as he replied, “There was a problem at the headquarters, but it’s all sorted out now.”
N felt a pang of concern for him. “If you’re too tired, you can rest at home today and apany Buddy another time.”
Oliver shook his head. “It’s fine. I promised Buddy I’d take him today. I can’t back outst minute. Visiting the zoo shouldn’t be too tiring.”
Seeing his determination, N had no choice but to agree.
“Just let me know if you feel tired. Don’t push yourself,” she suggested.
Oliver’s gaze softened as he replied, “Okay.”
After finishing breakfast, they set off for the zoo.
By the time they arrived at the zoo, it was nearly 9:00 a.m.
Damon was already waiting at the entrance.
When he saw the three figures approaching from a distance, his expression turned cold. He had no idea how Spencer was handling things. How could Oliver still be here today?!
