Valarie raised an eyebrow, about to speak when her gaze suddenly fell on someone not far ahead.A hint of surprise flickered in her eyes. She hadn't expected to run into Brandon at a blind date.Their eyes met briefly, but Brandon quickly averted his gaze and acted as if he hadn't seen her. He turned to leave.Valarie's expression remained unchanged as she redirected her focus to Benjamin across from her, who was still nitpicking everything."Mr. Comstock, I think we're not a good match. Let's end this here. Goodbye," Valarie said as she stood up to leave.Benjamin blocked her way, saying with a hint of condescension, "Ms. Weir, I believe that, aside from your spending habits, everything else about you is still tolerable."After all, Valarie was beautiful and fit his idea of innocence, so he felt generally satisfied with her. If she could just listen to him a bit more after they started dating, spending money on her wouldn't be an issue.Valarie smiled. "Mr. Comstock, I can't ch

That evening, Brandon and Damon sat together in a private room at a high-end bar in Saintornia. They silently poured drinks into their glasses, both wearing grim expressions that radiated an aura discouraging any approach.Eventually, Brandon couldn't hold back and looked at Damon."Uncle Damon, was your pursuit of Aunt Nyla this difficult?" he asked.The memory of Valarie's rejection, followed by her date with a loser, frustrated Brandon. Did she really think so little of him?Damon glanced at Brandon but didn't respond. He was too preoccupied with the upcoming Saturday trip to the zoo with Oliver to take on the role of emotional mentor for Brandon.It seemed that Brandon didn't expect an answer anyway. He took another gulp and angrily stated, "Whatever, it doesn't matter to me anymore. There are plenty of women in the world. I'm not going to be hung up on her!"I've pursued her for five years, and now she's missed out. She's the one who should regret it, not me!"I'm so angry!

"Shut up!" Damon snapped.He couldn't take it anymore and grabbed Brandon's phone to call Valarie.When the call connected, he reported the bar and private room before hanging up and leaving. He couldn't stay any longer—Brandon was driving him crazy.…On the other end, Valarie hadn't even had a chance to speak before the call ended. She tried calling back several times, but no one picked up.Biting her lip, she contemplated whether to go over.Finally, after five minutes, she changed her clothes and headed out.Just as she opened the door, she spotted Phoebe, who was about to knock while holding a glass of acai smoothie.Seeing that Valarie wasn't in her pajamas, Phoebe looked puzzled. "Valarie, it's so late. Are you going out?""Yeah," Valarie replied, her expression slightly unnatural. "Nyla said she needed to see me about something."Phoebe frowned and asked, "What's so urgent that you have to go out at this hour? Can't it wait until tomorrow?""I don't know, Mom. Stop a

Thanks to that little interruption, Valarie snapped back to reality. She pushed Brandon away and got to her feet, her cheeks flushed."Brandon, I'm warning you! If you pull something like that again, I won't care about you anymore!" she barked.Brandon stared at her in confusion, seemingly unable to recall what had just happened."Who are you?" he asked.Valarie was exasperated. He had just kissed her, and now he didn't recognize her?Nonetheless, this wasn't the time to dwell on that. She needed to find a way to get him home.After thinking for a moment, Valarie called a driver to help her get Brandon to the car.Fortunately, after what had happened, he seemed tired and fell asleep without a fuss.Once she helped him into the back seat and buckled him in, she told the driver the address."He has someone at home. Just ring the doorbell, and they'll come to get him," she instructed.The driver nodded. "Okay."As Valarie watched the driver pull away, she turned and headed back

"You said it was boring when the date was set at the restaurant yesterday. No matter how it's done, you'll find something to criticize. Do you just not want to go on a blind date?" Phoebe asked.Valarie pursed her lips. "I don't want to. If it weren't for you guys pushing me, I wouldn't even consider it."For her, not getting married wasn't a big deal. She'd rather stay single than wake up every day to a face she didn't like, pretending to be happy for the rest of her life."You're driving me crazy! You're in your 30s now, and if you don't get married soon, no one will want you by the time you're 40! Your dad and I are getting older, and after we're gone, how will you manage on your own?!" Phoebe exclaimed.Facing her mother's serious expression, Valarie shrugged. "I'll manage just fine. There are plenty of people who choose not to marry or have kids, and none of them seem to be struggling."Phoebe gritted her teeth. "I don't care! When you get to our age, you'll understand I'm on

Zayn nodded in understanding and sat across from Valarie, explaining why he had chosen this place."I apologize for meeting here, Ms. Weir. I usually don't have time, but I have a horse racing today, so I asked you to meet me here. I hope you don't mind," he said.Valarie looked straight at Zayn. He was tall and casually dressed, sitting in front of her with a commanding presence. While he wasn't conventionally handsome, he had a pleasant and gentle disposition, which made a good first impression."I understand, Mr. Updike. I don't mind. Let's get started with the date," Valarie said.As soon as she finished speaking, Zayn couldn't help but laugh.Noticing the puzzled look on Valarie's face, he quickly waved his hand."Sorry, Ms. Weir. It's just that the way you said, 'let's get started with the date', was so serious that it struck me as amusing," he clarified.Valarie pressed her lips together and replied, "Mr. Updike, I think we should get straight to the point since this is a

"Is it because I arranged our blind date at the racetrack?" Zayn asked.Valarie smiled, but her eyes carried a hint of coldness. "Since you're aware of that, why ask? I have something to attend to, so I won't interrupt your race. Goodbye."With that, she stood up and walked out.Just as she reached the door, Zayn's voice called out from behind her, "Ms. Weir, I admit I haven't thought this through today. Would you give me a chance to make it up to you with dinner?"Valarie halted her steps but didn't turn around. "No, thank you. I seem to recall that you're good friends with Mr. Sumner, right?"Zayn smiled, about to respond when the door to the private room swung open again.Brandon spotted the two of them and froze for a moment, his brows furrowing.What was Valarie doing there?He glanced at Zayn, his eyes questioning."Brandon, you know Ms. Weir, so I don't need to introduce you, right?" Zayn said."Aren't you the one who invited me to watch the race? Why is she here?" Bra

Seeing Jonathan's troubled expression, Phoebe set down her teacup and asked, "What's wrong? Why the long face?"Jonathan sank onto the sofa, his voice weak. "The company lost another big partnership today. If this keeps up, we'll be in serious financial trouble."Phoebe frowned. "What can we do? Is there any way to hold on a bit longer? Valarie's blind date hasn't settled yet!"They were pushing Valarie into blind dates primarily because the Weir Group was declining and desperately needed a strong partner to help them through this crisis.At first, Valarie had refused. However, after learning about the company's situation, she reluctantly agreed to go on dates.Jonathan remained silent for a moment before speaking seriously. "How about we stop forcing Valarie into blind dates? I've thought a lot about this, and compared to the company, her happiness for the rest of her life is more important. We can't ruin her life just for the sake of the company.""Ruin her life? I'm only intro

"That's more like it," Valarie chirped.Nyla couldn't help but say, "Valarie, stop bullying Brandon all the time."Brandon turned to her and sighed dramatically. "Aunt Nyla, since you mentioned it, I have to say something. You have no idea what I've been through these past six months, I— Ouch!"Before he could finish, Valarie pinched his waist. "What was that? Tell me, Brandon. Have you been unhappy these past six months?""N-No... I've been very happy..." Brandon winced."Have I bullied you then?" Valarie pressed."No..." Brandon murmured.Valarie huffed. "If not, then keep your mouth shut, or Nyla will really think I mistreat you." Brandon gave her a pitiful look, lowering his head like a scolded puppy.Before they married, Valarie had been gentle and beautiful in his eyes. But after marriage, he realized how wrong he had been.Gentle and beautiful? All an illusion.If he stayed out drinking and came home late, he'd have to choose between sleeping on the couch or outside.

Taking Mia to work was exhausting, but every time she smiled at Damon, it made everything worth it."She'll be fine. Didn't you just say she loves us both equally? She'll cry for a bit, but if you stop taking her to the office, she'll get used to being at home," Nyla reasoned.Seeing Nyla's determination, Damon finally relented. "Alright, we'll try it tomorrow. But if she cries too much, you'll have to take her to the office.""Deal!" Nyla said....After getting ready for work the next morning, Damon kissed Mia on the cheek and headed for the door.As soon as he changed his shoes at the entrance, she reached her little arms toward him, asking to be held. She had grown so accustomed to going to the office with him every day that it had become a reflex.Damon glanced at Nyla. "Nyla, maybe today we should—"Nyla interrupted, "Nope. You go to work. And if you're free for lunch, don't bother coming home. If you need to work late, no rush to come back either."Damon chuckled. "You'

"Brandon, from now on, I'm entrusting Valarie to you," Jonathan said. "She's been spoiled by us and can be a little willful at times. I hope you'll be patient with her in your marriage, and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together."Brandon held Valarie's hand tightly, his expression solemn. "Dad, don't worry. I'll cherish her with all my heart."Jonathan nodded, stepping down from the stage. He discreetly wiped away his tears.After exchanging vows and rings, Valarie and Brandon sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by cheers and applause.…On the way home from the wedding, Nyla glanced at Damon. "I saw Mr. Weir wipe his tears so many times today. When Bunny gets married, you'll definitely be just like him, sneaking off somewhere to cry."Damon's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his gaze sharpening. "No one will ever be good enough for my daughter. If she never gets married, we'll take care of her for the rest of our lives."Nyla raised an eyebrow and

"Of course! When's the wedding?" Nyla asked.Valarie shook her head. "We haven't decided yet. He'll come to my house in a few days to discuss it with my parents."Nyla raised an eyebrow. "You're about to get really busy. Planning a wedding alone will take a lot of work.""Yeah, I'm already getting a headache just thinking about it," Valarie replied....For the next few months, Valarie was completely consumed by wedding preparations and work, barely having time to catch her breath.The wedding was set for August 8th, leaving them with less than six months to finalize everything.Valarie even traveled abroad several times to meet with designers and ensure her wedding dress was exactly what she wanted.Beyond the dress, she and Brandon spent hours discussing every detail—from the venue to the wedding favors and bouquet choices....After months of nonstop planning, the big day finally arrived.Valarie was already up, getting her hair and makeup done at 2:00 a.m.By the time N

Valarie looked up and saw the approaching glow.When the figure finally stopped in front of her, she realized it was Brandon.Frowning, she asked, "Where did you go? I waited so long for you. And what are you hiding behind your back?"Brandon flipped his phone face-down on the table, revealing the flowers he had hidden. Then he dropped to one knee."Valarie, I had planned a perfect proposal for you, but when you asked earlier about the meaning of wearing a wedding dress, I knew I couldn't wait any longer."Before I met you, my life revolved solely around work. I never paused for anyone—I never cared whether the sun was rising or setting, or if the moon was full or waning. But everything changed after I met you."I began cherishing the thought of greeting you every morning, sharing meals with you, and standing by your side for life."Valarie, I want every morning to begin with us waking up together, and every night to end with us holding each other as we fall asleep."Finally, B

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.But today, seeing her so excited about picking out baby clothes made him start to imagine a future with her—building a family, raising a child.That thought filled his heart with warmth.After more than three hours of shopping, they finally left the mall, their arms full of bags.Once they loaded everything into the car, Valarie turned to Brandon. "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."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 g

Nyla was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright. If you ever need Damon to help figure out Brandon's thoughts, just let me know.""I will. Don't worry about us, though. You just gave birth. Your main priority should be resting," Valarie said."Okay," Nyla replied.Valarie lingered in the bedroom for a while, but when she saw Nyla looking tired, she stood up and left.Downstairs, only Brandon was in the living room.Valarie walked over to him and asked, "Where's Damon?""He had something to take care of for work, so he went to the study. How's Aunt Nyla?" Brandon asked."She seems to be doing well, and the baby is adorable. Oh, right, I forgot to ask what the baby's name is. I only know her nickname is Bunny," Valarie said.Just thinking about Mia Sumner's cute little face made Valarie smile. She was already looking forward to the day the baby would call her godmother.A flicker of something crossed Brandon's eyes. "You really like kids, huh?""Of course! I've said befor

Once they were in the car, Nyla suddenly recalled Damon's phone call earlier. "By the way, what did Alexander want?"After a brief pause, Damon glanced at her. "He said Ms. Kinsey left you an inheritance and asked when we'd be able to go to Meristate to take care of it."Nyla pressed her lips together before replying, "Call him later and tell him to donate it or keep it for himself. I don't want it.""Alright," Damon replied.When they arrived home, Damon helped Nyla settle onto the couch, placing a pillow behind her back for support. Then, he said seriously, "Nyla, you've been through enough. Let's not have any more kids after this."During her first pregnancy with Mason, Damon hadn't been around, so he hadn't realized how difficult it was for her.Now, experiencing this pregnancy with her, every checkup and blood draw made his heart ache.Once Nyla gave birth, he planned to get a vasectomy. Two kids were enough for them.Nyla shot him a look. "This wasn't exactly planned, was

More than half an hour later, Nyla finally stirred from her nap.When she opened her eyes, she found Damon sitting by her bed, watching her. She froze for a moment, caught off guard.Rubbing her eyes, she realized he was still there and confirmed she wasn't dreaming.She slowly sat up, her voice still heavy with sleep. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your study working?""I missed you, so I came to see you," Damon replied.Nyla narrowed her eyes. "You definitely have something to say if you're here all of a sudden."Damon chuckled, a little helpless. "I guess I can't fool you.""Of course not. I know you too well. Ever since I got pregnant, you've never come to see me like this in the afternoon," Nyla said."Alright. Go freshen up first, and I'll wait for you downstairs," Damon suggested."Okay," Nyla replied.After washing up, she went downstairs and sat beside Damon. "Alright, tell me. What's going on? You're acting all mysterious."Damon hesitated for a moment befo
