The moment he saw Valarie, a wave of happiness surged inside him.
He knew it now. He had truly fallen for her.
"I had serrands nearby and happened to pass by your school. Then I remembered I still had something to give you," Valarie explained.

Stefan nodded. "Okay." Neither Valarie nor Stefan noticed Jayden, who had secretly taken a photo of them from a distance.
Behind Jayden, Yale frowned. "Jayden, isn't it a bit inappropriate to secretly take photos of Valarie?" Jayden glanced at him. "What's wrong with it? She's the one sneaking around on Brandon, having dinner with another man. I'm just taking a picture. What's the big deal?" "But Valarie and Brandon broke up. She's free to date whoever she wants now. Besides... that guy could be her younger brother or something," Yale reasoned. "Her brother? Have you ever heard of her having a brother?" Jayden retorted.
Yale fell silent.
"Alright, I've got something to take care of later, so I'll head out first. See you next time," Jayden said.
Yale wanted to argue more, but before he could, Jayden had already walked away, his figure disappearing from sight.
After leaving the restaurant, Jayden drove straight to the hospital.
Michelle was reading a book in the hospital room. When she heard the door open, she instinctively looked up. Upon seeing Jayden, her face brightened with surprise and delight. "Jayden, what are you doing here at this hour? Finished with work?" "Yeah." Jayden walked over to the hospital bed and sat down, his gaze fixed on her. "How's your recovery going?" "I'm doing well. The doctor says I should be able to leave next week But... guess Brandon won't be visiting before then, will heiket Michelle mumbled.
Before, Jayden would have comforted her, promising to find a way to bring Brandon to see her. But tonight, he said nothing. His silence felt strange.
Noticing something was off, Michelle studied him closely. "Jayden, why aren't you saying anything?" Without a word, Jayden pulled out his phone, handed it to her, and showed her the photo he had taken at the restaurant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Michelle saw Valarie and Stefan, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She gasped. "Why are Stefan and Valarie... having dinner together?" Jayden had been watching her face closely, searching for any signs of deception.
He saw none.
He lowered his phone, his tone becoming cold. "Why are they having dinner together? Don't you already know the reason?"
Michelle froze for a moment, then her eyes filled with hurt. "Jayden, what are you implying? Are you suggesting I sent Stefan to get close to Valarie?"
"What else am I supposed to think? Most people don't know about your O connection to Stefax, but I do. Don't connection to tellit's just a coincidence that Stefan and Valarie know each other," Jayden pressed. His accusatory tone seemed to cut deep, leaving Michelle visibly shaken.
Tears welled up in her eyes. "Jayden, do you really think I'm that manipulative?"
"Shouldn't I? Stefan is your half-brother. There's no way he doesn't know about Valarie andm Brandon's past. Are you seriously. going to tellyou had nothing to do with him getting close to her?" Jayden demanded. Stefan was still in university. He wouldn't have met Valarie naturally without ssort of setup.
"I don't know anything about it. If you don't believe me, I can call Stefan right now!" Michelle cried.
