After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 294 Desmond's hand trembled when he heard this, and he instinctively put his phone away.

"No," he said, getting up and walking towards Brynn. "This one is nice, let's buy it. Let's go look at sothers." Brynn linked her arm with his and said with a smile, "Alright, chwithfor dinner today. Let's discuss our engagement." Hearing about the engagement, Desmond asked, "Isn't it too soon?" "Why too soon? We've been together for so many days, it's not rushed," Brynn said, then suddenly asked, "Or do you not want to get engaged to me, Desmond?" "Of course not," Desmond quickly denied. "I definitely want to get engaged to you." Brynn smiled with satisfaction, "Alright, then cto my house today and let's discuss it properly and pick a good date." "For such an important matter, should I ask my dad?" Brynn thought for a moment, "That's true. Ask your dad when he's available, and our families can meet again." The last ttheir families met was at the Elise family, when Gabriel brought Desmond to apologize.

They shopped for a while longer, but Desmond was worried about Clara and found an excuse to leave early.

"My dad is urgingto go back to the company, Brynn. I'm sorry, I can't continue shopping with you." Brynn clung to his arm and pouted, "Do you really have to go? Can't you push it off?" "No, I can't. I'll make it up to you next time." Desmond said, giving Brynn a kiss on the forehead.

Brynn finally smiled and said, "Alright, but remember not to flirt with anyone at the company. We're about to get engaged, don't makesad." Desmond naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

As he was about to leave, Brynn suddenly remembered something and casually asked, "Oh, by the way, has your ex-girlfriend been bothering you?" "Why do you suddenly ask about her?" Desmond asked, trying to control his nervousness.

Brynn, as if not noticing his stiffness, continued casually, "I just remembered something. I ran into your ex- girlfriend on the street before. She was with a man, and they seemed quite close. The man looked quite wealthy too." "Why are you tellingthis?" Desmond's face darkened. "I broke up with her a long tago. She has nothing to do withanymore. It's normal for her to be with someone else." Despite saying this, Desmond felt a surge of discomfort and growing anger.

"I'm just worried that she might still bother you even though she has someone else. You're so excellent, Desmond. She might regret it and try to win you back. I don't want to lose you." Hearing Brynn praise him, Desmond didn't feel happy. Instead, he confirmed again, "Did you really see her with another man?" He felt agitated because Clara had cried to him just a few days ago, saying how much she needed him. How could she be with another man so quickly? Was it because of his fake relationship with Brynn? But he had made it clear to Clara that he didn't like Brynn and that she was the only one he loved.

"I didn't see it wrong. They were even kissing on the street. If you don't believe me, call her. Even if she denies it, you're smart enough to see through her lies." Desmond fell silent.

Brynn didn't rush him, just observed his expression.

After a while, Desmond said, "Brynn, wait for me. I need to go to the restroom." Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on nov L5sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

Brynn nodded and reminded Desmond.

Desmond felt a bit embarrassed. Brynn's words reminded him of the the left her to take Clara to the hospital.

He indeed didn't handle that well.

"I won't. I'll also check with my dad if the company matter is really urgent. If not, I'll continue to accompany you." Desmond said and headed to the restroom.

Once inside a stall, he sat on the toilet and dialed Clara's number again.

Still, no one answered.

Desmond sent Clara a text message, but there was no reply.

His suspicions grew, and he started to believe Brynn's words.

Clara had found someone else so quickly! No wonder she wasn't answering his calls! After fuming for a while, Desmond composed himself and went back to Brynn.

"Brynn, the company matter isn't that urgent. I'll stay with you a bit longer." Desmond said, feeling less angry at Clara.

If she could move on so quickly, so could he.

While Desmond was angry at Clara, Clara, who was detained, kept asking, "Can I have my phone again?" "You've called so many times. You can't get through, so why keep trying?" The police officer outside said helplessly.

Since being temporarily detained, Clara had asked for her phone 5m.

multiple times, each tsaying she could get through and someone would bail her out. But every call went unanswered. "This tit will work. He was busy at work before, but now he's off work and will definitely answer." Clara tried to convince the officer, and herself.

She had called Desmond many times, but he hadn't answered once.

But she was still determined, repeatedly asking the officer for her phone.

"Last time!" The officer handed her the phone.

Clara quickly dialed Desmond's number, waiting anxiously, but the call went unanswered and was automatically disconnected.

She wanted to try again, but the officer took the phone back, "Why keep calling? He clearly doesn't want to talk to you. Why not contact someone else?" The officer had seen Clara's persistent attempts to reach Desmond and couldn't bear to watch anymore.

What Clara did was wrong, but she looked so fragile and pitiful, easily evoking sympathy.

"I have no one else to contact," Clara was on the verge of tears. "I can't let my brothers know what I did to Katniss..." Katniss was treating Nathan, and if her brothers found out about her online insults towards Katniss, they might misunderstand.

If they thought she didn't want Nathan to get better, it would be terrible.

"Then just stay here for a day. Once you're out, you can meet him in person."

Given Clara's good attitude, she only needed to be detained for a day, It's understandable for a gin to want to save face and keep things from her family. The police agreed not to contact her family. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
