NovelAppChapter 122 The awkwardness in the air was palpable, but letting Brandon know the truth was a relief.
He grabbed his phone from the table and walked out.
Kara immediately exclaimed, "It's over." But I wasn't fazed. I had never intended to develop anything with Brandon, so I wasn't bothered whether he was upset or misunderstood.
After all, we were just two people who happened to cross paths. I wasn't planning to get into a relationship either.
But it wasn't that one heartbreak that madeswear off love. I just didn't have the energy for it right now.

The quick response was unexpected, but it was also good to start work early.
When I arrived at the parking lot, I saw Conrad's car. He parked, got out, and opened the back door.
Bree stepped out. They were here to see me.
"Bree," I greeted her.
"Maddie." Bree took my hand, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
Her reaction leftat a loss. I looked to Conrad, who handed her a handkerchief. "Mom, you're going to scare Maddie like this. Just tell her what's on your mind. Why are you crying?" Bree took the handkerchief from Conrad and dabbed at her eyes. "Maddie, let's go hand talk, okay?" I looked at Conrad again, and he explained, "My mom couldn't reach you by phone, and you weren't responding to her messages.
"She was so worried that she didn't sleep all night and insisted I bring her to Chapter 122 find you. She knows about Chris now." I had anticipated that this was the reason for her unexpected visit.
"Bree, let's go to the restaurant. You probably haven't had breakfast. We can talk while we eat," I suggested, not wanting to go to Gildon Estate.
Bree shook her head. "I don't feel like eating." "Then, let's just talk," I insisted, and she nodded in agreement.
I turned to Conrad. "You should take Kara to the amusement park, then. I'll stay with Bree and take her hafterward." Conrad glanced at Bree and then nodded at me. "Thanks." Kara left with Conrad, and I took Bree to the restaurant. I went to order breakfast, but she declined.
However, I insisted and ordered her favorite breakfast anyway.

Bree's words madelower my gaze.
"Maddie, it's my fault for not raising him better. He messed up so many times and ended up hurting you." Bree shook her head regretfully. I bit my lip and replied, "Bree, it's not your fault. It's Chris'. He's not a child anymore." Though I wasn't sure of Bree's intentions for coming, I was certain she wanted to convinceto forgive Chris.
Whether I forgave him or not was irrelevant at this point, but feared Bree stil hoped for us to get back together. Bree nodded. "You're right. Don't carry that guilt." "Bree, you're overthinking it. I'm not burdened because I did nothing wrong." My firm statement caught Bree off guard.
She quickly nodded. "Yes, yes. You're right. It's Chris' fault."
I remained silent as Bree continued, "Maddie, Zack doesn't either. Chris wink your quit personally and ask you to cback." should X
