Chapter 636
Chapter 636:
He wasn’t completely blind to the fact that sometimes her choices were wrong. Yet, he had always clung to the belief that beneath it all, Vivian was fragile—she wasn’t a bad person, just someone who was hurt.
He owed her for that day.
Because of that debt, he had kept his promise to Vivian—six months, and she would take the secret with her to the grave. Then life would go back to how it used to be.
But now, he finally saw the cost. In these months of chaos, he had wounded Millie again and again.
He had hurt the only woman he truly loved.
And Vivian… she was far from the harmless image she wore.
“Brandon, I was wrong…”
Tears streamed down Vivian’s face.
“I’m sorry. I never should have treated her that way. It only happened twice. Once today—because I panicked. The other… that was when my head wasn’t right. I lost control.”
Vivian’s fingers wrapped around his, her gaze soft and trembling. “There are only four months left. That’s all. When I’m gone, you can still have her.” His gaze stayed fixed on the woman crying before him. But could there still be a future with Millie?
Brandon’s heart ached so fiercely that it felt as though it might burst.
Looking at Vivian, he couldn’t even determine who was to blame. In the end, it all came back to him. He blamed himself for believing that he could control everything. He cursed his own stupidity.
Brandon let go of Vivian’s collar and withdrew his hand from hers. Without another word, he turned and stumbled toward the door.
“Brandon!” Vivian’s voice rang out, stopping him just before he reached it.

“You’ll still stay with me, won’t you? Four months. You promised. Even if it’s just pretend… Even if you only act like you love me… Stay with me, and I won’t tell Millie about that incident.”
Brandon couldn’t help but chuckle, though the sound was soaked in sorrow and bitterness. For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
“Brandon, I swear I’ll behave. I lost control those two times—no more. I haven’t hurt her since. Please, give me one last chance.” Follow current novᴇls on.net
But Brandon said nothing. He only laughed again, feeling like he was losing his mind. If he truly went mad, maybe he could break the promise he’d made to Vivian. Maybe then he could run to Millie and beg her to come back.
