Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 391

Chris' face was tense and cold unlike any other time before.

"What? Wrong person? That can't be right. Your fiancée is beautiful, and I wouldn't mistake her…" The man looked at me in surprise again.

"My fiancée is at home with my parents," Chris said before striding away.

"Huh? But…" The man was still staring at my face in shock. But seeing Chris walk away, he quickly chased after him, muttering, "How could they look so alike? They're practically the same person."

Chris walked away. Telling a lie to save me from embarrassment was something I hadn't expected from him.

Given his personality, I thought he would have acknowledged me and made things awkward for both me and Brandon, but he didn't.

He was cold and indifferent even when he passed by me. It was as if he didn't know me. It seemed like he had changed and was different from before.

He no longer got mad easily and could pretend to be a stranger as he brushed past me. He hadn't tried to contact me since his return, aside from that one time he came to my apartment.

It seemed he had finally moved on.

As I was lost in thought, I didn't notice Brandon pushing me into the elevator.

I snapped back to reality and looked at him, but his face revealed nothing.

Recalling the scene we had just experienced, I figured he must feel uncomfortable.

I reached out to grab his hand. But before I could say anything, Brandon's other hand landed on top of my head, gently ruffling my hair. "It's nothing. Things like this will probably happen again."

He was right. Situations like what had happened today would be unavoidable no matter whether it was here or back in Hilcord.

But our encounter with Chris today could have been avoided if I remembered that Derick had arranged for our hotel. Chris was his close friend, so how could he miss the match?

Yet now that we were here, changing hotels seemed too extreme.

Chris' appearance left both of us silent all the way to our room.

The door opened, and I went in first. But just as I stepped inside, Brandon pulled me back and kissed me intensely.
