Chapter 534:
Brandon looked at her for a long moment. Then he reached out and gently wiped her cheeks.
“There’s no need to cry,” he said. Content originally comes from.net
Vivian clutched his hand.
“I’ve divorced her,” Brandon said.
“You love me, don’t you?” she asked.
Brandon didn’t answer. His lips pressed into a tight line.
He looked at Vivian, but saw Millie’s face instead.
He remembered her laughing with Myron. The image made something twist inside him. Jealousy hit him before he could stop it. And when he realized it, he felt like he was losing his mind.
The celebration had come to an end.
Myron was driving Millie and Ari home.
Ari gave them both a hug before heading inside the children’s home.
Millie watched her go, her heart stirred with the urge to finalize the adoption as soon as possible so she could be with Ari every single day. But she also knew she had to be patient.
“It’s alright,” Myron said gently, noticing her expression. “I’ve arranged for medical staff on standby. There’s nothing to worry about.”
Millie nodded.
She understood. But maybe the wine had made her a little emotional. The driver waited nearby, but Myron, sensing her mood, suggested, “Let’s walk for a bit.”
Millie nodded. “Alright.”
She needed the air.
Under the soft streetlights, the trees cast long shadows across the sidewalk. The two walked quietly. Myron stayed close, silently keeping pace beside her.

After a while, he motioned for her to stop.
“Your shoelace is untied,” he said. Then he crouched down.
Millie tried to stop him, but he was already reaching for the laces.
She watched as he tied her shoe, head bowed in concentration.
There was always something calm and steady about him. He gave the sense that nothing could shake him.
Ari liked him too.
The streetlight washed everything in warm gold. Millie knew he would be good to Ari.
“All done,” he said, wiping his hands with a handkerchief before looking up.
He stayed in a half-kneeling position, meeting her eyes from below.
He then frowned slightly. “Millie,” he said.
“Yes?”
“I want you to accept me for who I am. Not because of Ari.”
Her eyes lowered. He had read her thoughts again.
