?Chapter 635:

    Her voice rang out. “I’ll do it myself. Brendon doesn’t have to share this with me!”

    Ynda had just started to bow when Brendon’s voice cut through the tension. “I’ll bow with you, Ynda!”

    That deration left Ynda in shock. Never in her wildest dreams did she think Brendon would go so far for her sake. Giving up one’s pride to apologize in public wasn’t something most men would ever do.

    A wave of guilt swept over Ynda as she remembered how often she had treated Brendon as nothing more than a stepping stone to status and fortune. For a fleeting second, she wondered if she even deserved him. But the feeling didn’tst long. Her ambition burned stronger, and she wanted more power and sess.

    “Brendon…” Ynda looked at him with teary eyes, sounding truly moved.

    Brendon met her gaze with resolve. “Ynda, whateveres, I’ll face it with you.”

    Tears slipped down Ynda’s cheeks, and she nodded in agreement. “Alright.”

    Side by side, they each bowed deeply to Christina five times. After they straightened up, Brendon entwined his fingers with Ynda’s, holding her hand tight.

    Brendon’s cold gazended on Christina, carrying a spark of challenge as if to say she could never win his heart.

    “I ept your apology. You may go now,” Christina replied, her tone t. She didn’t spare Brendon a second nce, giving no reaction to his bold gesture. Thatplete disregard left Brendon simmering. Not even a hint of jealousy or emotion flickered across Christina’s face, which made his frustration burn hotter. He doted on Ynda so much—how could Christina show no reaction to it? He found himself wondering if she truly felt nothing for him at all.

    That thought alone unsettled Brendon. Nowhere to put his irritation, he squeezed Ynda’s hand and acted even more attentive. “Ynda, let’s get you to the hospital,” he murmured, his tone gentle and full of care.

    “Okay,” Ynda replied, giving a small nod, her eyes rimmed with redness.

    Feeling this wasn’t nearly enough to provoke a reaction from Christina, Brendon leaned down and swept Ynda up into his arms. He suggested gently, “Let me carry you. Your knees are hurt, and I couldn’t stand to see you walking on your own.”

    Let your imagination soar with g?lnσν???s

    Cuddled close against his chest, Ynda murmured shyly, “I love you, Brendon.”

    A rush of emotion filled his eyes as he answered, “I love you too. You’re the only one I’ll ever love.”

    He doubted Christina could remainposed while watching this scene. But Christina didn’t so much as blink or utter a sound. A mixture of confusion and irritation bubbled up in him. How could the woman who once loved him so deeply suddenly stop caring? She must be faking her calm, burning with jealousy on the inside.

    Determined to stir up Christina’s envy even more, Brendon decided toy it on thick. A look of affection softened his features. “Ynda, I’ve already ordered the wedding rings for our big day.”

    A dreamy smile lit up Ynda’s face. “I can’t wait for our wedding. I know it’ll be everything I ever hoped for.”

    Warmth filled Brendon’s voice. “You’ll have the grandest wedding, just like I promised.”

    A roll of the eyes was all Christina could muster as she watched their little show, thinking something had to be wrong with the two of them. Their whole act seemed designed to make anyone sick.
