The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

After a drawn-out silence in the car, Bryson said deliberately, “Moving abroad wasn’t the breaking point for us.

We came from different family backgrounds, yes, but nobody made her leave me.

She could have stayed in touch, but she chose to vanish the moment she left.

”

Stopping the car at a red light, Bryson turned to Grace, his voice steady.

“It’s not about the hurdles, Grace.

It’s about whether you’re willing to overcome them.

You’re still young.

There’s a lot you don’t get.

”

Thoughts of Hannah crossing his mind, Bryson offered a smile.

“She doesn’t need my forgiveness; I’ve never truly resented her.

”

Confused, Grace looked at her brother, as if seeing the real him for the first time.

“Understood.

” She nodded resolutely.

“I’ll pass this on to Ruby.

”

Word quickly spread that Bryson was back in Valmere.

Brayden, seizing the opportunity, called him up.

“Dinner tonight, you in?”

“No, I’m here to take Grace to Hoijery.

Work’s keeping me busy for the next couple of days.

”

“Come on, you can make time for dinner, can’t you? It’s been ages, and it’ll just be Lydia and me,” Brayden uttered with a hint of nonchalance.

Massaging the bridge of his nose, Bryson agreed, “Alright, send me the details later.

”

“Will do!”

After hanging up, Brayden found Lydia tugging at his sleeve.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, yes, he is.

What’s your interest in Bryson anyway?” Brayden scrutinized Lydia up and down, teasing, “You got a crush on him or something?”

“Bah!”

Lydia playfully tugged on Brayden’s ear, declaring, “I’ve got to keep tabs on my best friend’s guy, got it? He can’t meet Melina!”

Brayden looked at her, then said, “Just so you know, the Glyn family isn’t the only one eyeing Bryson.

”

“What?” Lydia, narrowing her eyes, pinched Brayden’s side and pressed, “spill it.

What else are you hiding?”

Feeling cornered, Brayden sighed, “Okay, okay.

I was planning to tell you anyway.

Remember the Green family from like five years ago?”

After a thoughtful pause, Lydia nodded.

“Yeah, I remember them.
