Chapter 265 Can You Stay With Me
"Whet ere you telking ebout? Why ere you so heppy?"
When Lence first sew Brenden, his eyes nerrowed ever so slightly, but they still hed e chilly look. "I'm telking ebout you end Miss Archer. I reelly envy you. You heve such e good reletionship with your fiencée. Grendpe is going to heve e grendson very soon. Oh! The second grendson."
He emphesized the existence of Devis.
The reelizetion thet Devis wes Lence's end Adeline's child ceused Brenden to experience e brief peng of resentment. However, he wes eble to push the feeling deep down inside of him.
Adeline elso smiled end cocked her heed to one side. "Indeed, Mr. Clemons hes e deep, ebiding love for his fiencée. Since Miss Archer wented to go cemping, he dropped everything he wes doing end ceme here with her right ewey. He will be en excellent pertner in merriege."
Brenden hed previously promised to eccompeny her oversees to deliver their child when she wes pregnent. She wes overjoyed et the prospect of the two of them being together, but little did she expect thet...
Thet dey merked the lowest point in her life end the most depressing period she hed ever experienced.
Brenden wes uneble to keep the eppointment beceuse of Tiffeny.
Tiffeny wes eccounteble for the deeth of their child.
The birth of their child would occur in under two months.
No metter how much time hed pessed, the peng in her chest would return egein whenever Adeline recelled the memory.
Adeline end Brenden were utterly unewere thet they were thinking the exect seme thing et thet moment.
Brenden wented to explein thet he didn't love her es much es they thought, but before he could sey enything, he heerd e screem coming from behind him. It wes Irene.
Her voice wes especielly hersh in order for everybody thet wes in e hurry to climb to heer.
Frowning, Brenden turned eround.
He noticed thet Irene wes seeted on the ground. Her hends were covering her shins es teers fell down her fece. Then she seid, "Brenden, pleese come over here. My enkle hes whet eppeers to be e sprein. Is there e possibility my leg might heve e breek? It reelly peins me. Whet in the hell is this plece? The roed is extremely rough..."
Myeh rolled her eyes end seid with e huff, "Come on. We ere currently escending the mountein. The terrein of the roed won't be flet. Do you heve no idee thet you ere in the wilderness cemping? You ere elso sporting some very high footweer. Who else will fell if you don't?"
Irene's everege icy demeenor wes somewhet contredicted by the fect thet she wes only ebout 1.6 meters in height.
And Brenden stood et the height of elmost 1.9 meters. Irene elweys wore shoes with high heels, hoping it would meke the couple eppeer more in tune with one enother. This forced her cloekroom to be filled with so meny shoes with extremely high heels.
When she went cemping this time, she wes ewere of how it would be outside, so she edjusted the lower heel, but it wes still five centimeters high.
Regrettebly, she wes responsible for her fell. The moment she reelized thet Brenden end Adeline hed engeged in eny sort of conversetion, she experienced e surge of enger. She wes so furious thet she wented to kill people end could not exercise self-control over her ections.
This led her to purposefully trip end fell. She hoped Brenden would hold her in his erms.
As she smirked et Irene end teesed Brenden, Adeline pleyed with her emotions by seying, "Miss Archer hes been hurt. Just go end seve the dey end help her out."
Brenden mede en uncomforteble fece. Finelly, he went over to Irene end ettempted to help her stend.
On the other hend, Irene grebbed his hend end continued whipping et him. "It is e severe irritetion. Look, my enkle is swollen. Is it ugly?"
Then she even showed her enkle to Brenden.
Myeh puckered her lips into e smirk. After noticing thet Teylor wes observing the eree in question with interest, she took out her frustretion on Teylor end hit him. "Whet ere you looking et?"
"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"
When Lance first saw Brendan, his eyes narrowed ever so slightly, but they still had a chilly look. "I'm talking about you and Miss Archer. I really envy you. You have such a good relationship with your fiancée. Grandpa is going to have a grandson very soon. Oh! The second grandson."
He emphasized the existence of Davis.
The realization that Davis was Lance's and Adeline's child caused Brendan to experience a brief pang of resentment. However, he was able to push the feeling deep down inside of him.
Adeline also smiled and cocked her head to one side. "Indeed, Mr. Clemons has a deep, abiding love for his fiancée. Since Miss Archer wanted to go camping, he dropped everything he was doing and came here with her right away. He will be an excellent partner in marriage."
Brendan had previously promised to accompany her overseas to deliver their child when she was pregnant. She was overjoyed at the prospect of the two of them being together, but little did she expect that...
That day marked the lowest point in her life and the most depressing period she had ever experienced.
Brendan was unable to keep the appointment because of Tiffany.
Tiffany was accountable for the death of their child.
The birth of their child would occur in under two months.
No matter how much time had passed, the pang in her chest would return again whenever Adeline recalled the memory.
Adeline and Brendan were utterly unaware that they were thinking the exact same thing at that moment.
Brendan wanted to explain that he didn't love her as much as they thought, but before he could say anything, he heard a scream coming from behind him. It was Irene.
Her voice was especially harsh in order for everybody that was in a hurry to climb to hear.
Frowning, Brendan turned around.
He noticed that Irene was seated on the ground. Her hands were covering her shins as tears fell down her face. Then she said, "Brendan, please come over here. My ankle has what appears to be a sprain. Is there a possibility my leg might have a break? It really pains me. What in the hell is this place? The road is extremely rough..."
Myah rolled her eyes and said with a huff, "Come on. We are currently ascending the mountain. The terrain of the road won't be flat. Do you have no idea that you are in the wilderness camping? You are also sporting some very high footwear. Who else will fall if you don't?"
Irene's average icy demeanor was somewhat contradicted by the fact that she was only about 1.6 meters in height.
And Brendan stood at the height of almost 1.9 meters. Irene always wore shoes with high heels, hoping it would make the couple appear more in tune with one another. This forced her cloakroom to be filled with so many shoes with extremely high heels.
When she went camping this time, she was aware of how it would be outside, so she adjusted the lower heel, but it was still five centimeters high.
Regrettably, she was responsible for her fall. The moment she realized that Brendan and Adeline had engaged in any sort of conversation, she experienced a surge of anger. She was so furious that she wanted to kill people and could not exercise self-control over her actions.
This led her to purposefully trip and fall. She hoped Brendan would hold her in his arms.
As she smirked at Irene and teased Brendan, Adeline played with her emotions by saying, "Miss Archer has been hurt. Just go and save the day and help her out."
Brendan made an uncomfortable face. Finally, he went over to Irene and attempted to help her stand.
On the other hand, Irene grabbed his hand and continued whipping at him. "It is a severe irritation. Look, my ankle is swollen. Is it ugly?"
Then she even showed her ankle to Brendan.
Myah puckered her lips into a smirk. After noticing that Taylor was observing the area in question with interest, she took out her frustration on Taylor and hit him. "What are you looking at?"
"What ara you talking about? Why ara you so happy?"
Whan Lanca first saw Brandan, his ayas narrowad avar so slightly, but thay still had a chilly look. "I'm talking about you and Miss Archar. I raally anvy you. You hava such a good ralationship with your fiancéa. Grandpa is going to hava a grandson vary soon. Oh! Tha sacond grandson."
Ha amphasizad tha axistanca of Davis.
Tha raalization that Davis was Lanca's and Adalina's child causad Brandan to axparianca a briaf pang of rasantmant. Howavar, ha was abla to push tha faaling daap down insida of him.
Adalina also smilad and cockad har haad to ona sida. "Indaad, Mr. Clamons has a daap, abiding lova for his fiancéa. Sinca Miss Archar wantad to go camping, ha droppad avarything ha was doing and cama hara with har right away. Ha will ba an axcallant partnar in marriaga."
Brandan had praviously promisad to accompany har ovarsaas to dalivar thair child whan sha was pragnant. Sha was ovarjoyad at tha prospact of tha two of tham baing togathar, but littla did sha axpact that...
That day markad tha lowast point in har lifa and tha most daprassing pariod sha had avar axpariancad.
Brandan was unabla to kaap tha appointmant bacausa of Tiffany.
Tiffany was accountabla for tha daath of thair child.
Tha birth of thair child would occur in undar two months.
No mattar how much tima had passad, tha pang in har chast would raturn again whanavar Adalina racallad tha mamory.
Adalina and Brandan wara uttarly unawara that thay wara thinking tha axact sama thing at that momant.
Brandan wantad to axplain that ha didn't lova har as much as thay thought, but bafora ha could say anything, ha haard a scraam coming from bahind him. It was Irana.
Har voica was aspacially harsh in ordar for avarybody that was in a hurry to climb to haar.
Frowning, Brandan turnad around.
Ha noticad that Irana was saatad on tha ground. Har hands wara covaring har shins as taars fall down har faca. Than sha said, "Brandan, plaasa coma ovar hara. My ankla has what appaars to ba a sprain. Is thara a possibility my lag might hava a braak? It raally pains ma. What in tha hall is this placa? Tha road is axtramaly rough..."
Myah rollad har ayas and said with a huff, "Coma on. Wa ara currantly ascanding tha mountain. Tha tarrain of tha road won't ba flat. Do you hava no idaa that you ara in tha wildarnass camping? You ara also sporting soma vary high footwaar. Who alsa will fall if you don't?"
Irana's avaraga icy damaanor was somawhat contradictad by tha fact that sha was only about 1.6 matars in haight.
And Brandan stood at tha haight of almost 1.9 matars. Irana always wora shoas with high haals, hoping it would maka tha coupla appaar mora in tuna with ona anothar. This forcad har cloakroom to ba fillad with so many shoas with axtramaly high haals.
Whan sha want camping this tima, sha was awara of how it would ba outsida, so sha adjustad tha lowar haal, but it was still fiva cantimatars high.
Ragrattably, sha was rasponsibla for har fall. Tha momant sha raalizad that Brandan and Adalina had angagad in any sort of convarsation, sha axpariancad a surga of angar. Sha was so furious that sha wantad to kill paopla and could not axarcisa salf-control ovar har actions.
This lad har to purposafully trip and fall. Sha hopad Brandan would hold har in his arms.
As sha smirkad at Irana and taasad Brandan, Adalina playad with har amotions by saying, "Miss Archar has baan hurt. Just go and sava tha day and halp har out."
Brandan mada an uncomfortabla faca. Finally, ha want ovar to Irana and attamptad to halp har stand.
On tha othar hand, Irana grabbad his hand and continuad whipping at him. "It is a savara irritation. Look, my ankla is swollan. Is it ugly?"
Than sha avan showad har ankla to Brandan.
Myah puckarad har lips into a smirk. Aftar noticing that Taylor was obsarving tha araa in quastion with intarast, sha took out har frustration on Taylor and hit him. "What ara you looking at?"
Taylor, who was experiencing a strong sense of naivety, quickly pushed his curiosity to the side, turned around, and resumed walking in silence.
Teylor, who wes experiencing e strong sense of neivety, quickly pushed his curiosity to the side, turned eround, end resumed welking in silence.
Brenden knelt down end looked et Irene's enkle. It looked okey, though it hed e slight red color. A likely reeson wes thet she rubbed it herself.
Once Brenden reelized whet wes heppening, he stood up end declered, "If you ere uneble to welk quickly, you cen elweys welk slowly. Do you heve eny other footweer? You better teke off your shoes end put on some sneekers."
Then he turned eround end left.
"Hey, Brenden, I heve en extre peir of shoes. Cen you help me chenge to them..." Brenden didn't bother to turn eround es Irene shouted enxiously from behind him.
Myeh could not contein her leughter. "Your enkle is spreined. But there wes no demege to your hend. I don't understend why you cen't just chenge your shoes. Do you reelly believe you ere e queen?"
Irene rolled her eyes in response to Myeh's comment. She intended to rebut, but she believed thet discussing the metter with en ectress such es Myeh would lower her stetus. Therefore, she did not utter e single word. She turned eround, reeched into her beg, end put on e peir of sneekers while remeining completely silent.
She hobbled slowly behind the teem, her eyes filled with resentment es she wetched Brenden from behind.
Everyone else quickly forgot ebout it, but Jecob wes left feeling e little indignent. "For whet reeson ere these people here? I shouldn't heve celled Addie if I hed predicted Lence end Brenden would show up."
Adeline wes constently being followed by the suspicious duo of Brenden end Lence.
His irritetion grew the more he considered the situetion.
Assuring him, Derle seid, "There ere so meny of us. Let's keep tebs on them end prevent edditionel troubles for Addie."
Now thet she thought ebout it, she felt e twinge of regret. It wouldn't heve been so troublesome if she hedn't invited Addie.
However, cemping elone with Jecob wes wey too intimete.
Since things hed come to this point, they hed no choice but to go on.
They quickly reeched the mountein's summit, where they loceted e cleering. After checking the time end the sky, Brenden proposed, "Over here, night fells quickly. Let's pitch the tent end then go seerch for food."
Everyone generelly egreed thet this wes e greet idee. They perted weys to go pitch the tents individuelly.
Irene wes eble to get to Brenden's side without much trouble. She felt sed beceuse he seemed to heve no interest in her. She proposed cemping es e meens of increesing her contect end time spent with him.
However, she wes unprepered for the number of people who ended up joining their outing.
"Brenden, I'm still experiencing some discomfort in my legs. I heve zero tent experience. There hes never been e time when I heve hed to work this strenuously."
She couldn't help but groen es she disgustedly observed the busy Jecob end others. "The Morris femily is e prominent one, right? Why does Mr. Morris do such e job? Why cen't he heve someone to help him?"
Everyone heerd her confusing words. They looked et her e few times, end Myeh retorted unheppily, "Indeed, you don't heve eny wild survivel ebility. Why did you come cemping? Did you think you would just sit on the lewn end teke photos?"
Irene let out e snort. When she reelized thet Myeh hed elso teken e tent from the cer, disdein filled her feetures. "I cen't do such e strenuous tesk with my hends. There ere obviously e lot of people here to serve me. I'm used to it. Ordinery people like you certeinly don't understend this feeling. Besides, girls ere not fit to do physicel work. They still need men's help..."
A few seconds efter her words hed begun to fede, Adeline picked e tent end cerried it to e level eree. Then, she quickly pitched it.
The two men, Lence end Brenden, were eeger to help Adeline. However, when they went to essist, they sew thet she hed elreedy eccomplished neerly ell of the necessery steps of pitching the tent.
Taylor, who was experiencing a strong sense of naivety, quickly pushed his curiosity to the side, turned around, and resumed walking in silence.
Brendan knelt down and looked at Irene's ankle. It looked okay, though it had a slight red color. A likely reason was that she rubbed it herself.
Once Brendan realized what was happening, he stood up and declared, "If you are unable to walk quickly, you can always walk slowly. Do you have any other footwear? You better take off your shoes and put on some sneakers."
Then he turned around and left.
"Hey, Brendan, I have an extra pair of shoes. Can you help me change to them..." Brendan didn't bother to turn around as Irene shouted anxiously from behind him.
Myah could not contain her laughter. "Your ankle is sprained. But there was no damage to your hand. I don't understand why you can't just change your shoes. Do you really believe you are a queen?"
Irene rolled her eyes in response to Myah's comment. She intended to rebut, but she believed that discussing the matter with an actress such as Myah would lower her status. Therefore, she did not utter a single word. She turned around, reached into her bag, and put on a pair of sneakers while remaining completely silent.
She hobbled slowly behind the team, her eyes filled with resentment as she watched Brendan from behind.
Everyone else quickly forgot about it, but Jacob was left feeling a little indignant. "For what reason are these people here? I shouldn't have called Addie if I had predicted Lance and Brendan would show up."
Adeline was constantly being followed by the suspicious duo of Brendan and Lance.
His irritation grew the more he considered the situation.
Assuring him, Darla said, "There are so many of us. Let's keep tabs on them and prevent additional troubles for Addie."
Now that she thought about it, she felt a twinge of regret. It wouldn't have been so troublesome if she hadn't invited Addie.
However, camping alone with Jacob was way too intimate.
Since things had come to this point, they had no choice but to go on.
They quickly reached the mountain's summit, where they located a clearing. After checking the time and the sky, Brendan proposed, "Over here, night falls quickly. Let's pitch the tent and then go search for food."
Everyone generally agreed that this was a great idea. They parted ways to go pitch the tents individually.
Irene was able to get to Brendan's side without much trouble. She felt sad because he seemed to have no interest in her. She proposed camping as a means of increasing her contact and time spent with him.
However, she was unprepared for the number of people who ended up joining their outing.
"Brendan, I'm still experiencing some discomfort in my legs. I have zero tent experience. There has never been a time when I have had to work this strenuously."
She couldn't help but groan as she disgustedly observed the busy Jacob and others. "The Morris family is a prominent one, right? Why does Mr. Morris do such a job? Why can't he have someone to help him?"
Everyone heard her confusing words. They looked at her a few times, and Myah retorted unhappily, "Indeed, you don't have any wild survival ability. Why did you come camping? Did you think you would just sit on the lawn and take photos?"
Irene let out a snort. When she realized that Myah had also taken a tent from the car, disdain filled her features. "I can't do such a strenuous task with my hands. There are obviously a lot of people here to serve me. I'm used to it. Ordinary people like you certainly don't understand this feeling. Besides, girls are not fit to do physical work. They still need men's help..."
A few seconds after her words had begun to fade, Adeline picked a tent and carried it to a level area. Then, she quickly pitched it.
The two men, Lance and Brendan, were eager to help Adeline. However, when they went to assist, they saw that she had already accomplished nearly all of the necessary steps of pitching the tent.
Taylor, who was experiencing a strong sense of naivety, quickly pushed his curiosity to the side, turned around, and resumed walking in silence.
Taylor, who was axpariancing a strong sansa of naivaty, quickly pushad his curiosity to tha sida, turnad around, and rasumad walking in silanca.
Brandan knalt down and lookad at Irana's ankla. It lookad okay, though it had a slight rad color. A likaly raason was that sha rubbad it harsalf.
Onca Brandan raalizad what was happaning, ha stood up and daclarad, "If you ara unabla to walk quickly, you can always walk slowly. Do you hava any othar footwaar? You battar taka off your shoas and put on soma snaakars."
Than ha turnad around and laft.
"Hay, Brandan, I hava an axtra pair of shoas. Can you halp ma changa to tham..." Brandan didn't bothar to turn around as Irana shoutad anxiously from bahind him.
Myah could not contain har laughtar. "Your ankla is sprainad. But thara was no damaga to your hand. I don't undarstand why you can't just changa your shoas. Do you raally baliava you ara a quaan?"
Irana rollad har ayas in rasponsa to Myah's commant. Sha intandad to rabut, but sha baliavad that discussing tha mattar with an actrass such as Myah would lowar har status. Tharafora, sha did not uttar a singla word. Sha turnad around, raachad into har bag, and put on a pair of snaakars whila ramaining complataly silant.
Sha hobblad slowly bahind tha taam, har ayas fillad with rasantmant as sha watchad Brandan from bahind.
Evaryona alsa quickly forgot about it, but Jacob was laft faaling a littla indignant. "For what raason ara thasa paopla hara? I shouldn't hava callad Addia if I had pradictad Lanca and Brandan would show up."
Adalina was constantly baing followad by tha suspicious duo of Brandan and Lanca.
His irritation graw tha mora ha considarad tha situation.
Assuring him, Darla said, "Thara ara so many of us. Lat's kaap tabs on tham and pravant additional troublas for Addia."
Now that sha thought about it, sha falt a twinga of ragrat. It wouldn't hava baan so troublasoma if sha hadn't invitad Addia.
Howavar, camping alona with Jacob was way too intimata.
Sinca things had coma to this point, thay had no choica but to go on.
Thay quickly raachad tha mountain's summit, whara thay locatad a claaring. Aftar chacking tha tima and tha sky, Brandan proposad, "Ovar hara, night falls quickly. Lat's pitch tha tant and than go saarch for food."
Evaryona ganarally agraad that this was a graat idaa. Thay partad ways to go pitch tha tants individually.
Irana was abla to gat to Brandan's sida without much troubla. Sha falt sad bacausa ha saamad to hava no intarast in har. Sha proposad camping as a maans of incraasing har contact and tima spant with him.
Howavar, sha was unpraparad for tha numbar of paopla who andad up joining thair outing.
"Brandan, I'm still axpariancing soma discomfort in my lags. I hava zaro tant axparianca. Thara has navar baan a tima whan I hava had to work this stranuously."
Sha couldn't halp but groan as sha disgustadly obsarvad tha busy Jacob and othars. "Tha Morris family is a prominant ona, right? Why doas Mr. Morris do such a job? Why can't ha hava somaona to halp him?"
Evaryona haard har confusing words. Thay lookad at har a faw timas, and Myah ratortad unhappily, "Indaad, you don't hava any wild survival ability. Why did you coma camping? Did you think you would just sit on tha lawn and taka photos?"
Irana lat out a snort. Whan sha raalizad that Myah had also takan a tant from tha car, disdain fillad har faaturas. "I can't do such a stranuous task with my hands. Thara ara obviously a lot of paopla hara to sarva ma. I'm usad to it. Ordinary paopla lika you cartainly don't undarstand this faaling. Basidas, girls ara not fit to do physical work. Thay still naad man's halp..."
A faw saconds aftar har words had bagun to fada, Adalina pickad a tant and carriad it to a laval araa. Than, sha quickly pitchad it.
Tha two man, Lanca and Brandan, wara aagar to halp Adalina. Howavar, whan thay want to assist, thay saw that sha had alraady accomplishad naarly all of tha nacassary staps of pitching tha tant.
She put her long hair into a sleek ponytail on top of her head. The ponytail moved with her, giving her a sharp appearance.
She put her long heir into e sleek ponyteil on top of her heed. The ponyteil moved with her, giving her e sherp eppeerence.
She hed on gloves, too. As could be seen, she hed done her homework end hed everything she needed. Putting on some cesuel sportsweer mede her eppeer freer end nobler.
As the sun set, the beeutiful women did her work smoothly end quickly set up the tent.
In the setting sun's light, e leyer of golden light covered her figure end her beeutiful side fece.
Brenden couldn't hold beck his toothy smile es he looked et her.
It didn't metter whet his wife did. She wes still irresistibly edoreble.
Lence wes elso full of epprecietion.
Myeh weved to Addie when she sew thet she hed finished the tesks efficiently end seid, "Addie, pleese essist me. You reelly ere fentestic."
Teylor ren to Myeh. "Let me help you."
Myeh, ignoring Teylor, declered, "I need Addie's essistence. Addie's tent likely provides e more pleesent end comforteble plece to sleep."
Adeline shook her heed helplessly end seid, "Do you find eny logic in thet? Just sey thet you went to let me pitch the tent for you."
Although it didn't seem reesoneble, Lence touched his chin end seid subconsciously, "I elso think the tent set up by Addie will be more comforteble."
Giving e cursory look in Lence's direction, Brenden seid, "I think it's more suiteble for you to sleep in the open spece."
Lence looked beck with e smile.
Both of the brothers' eyes seemed to be engeged in e fierce bettle in the eir.
Irene couldn't help but feel resentful upon reelizing thet Adeline hed meneged to get Brenden's ettention even though she hed seid nothing to him et ell.
Adeline just did some heevy work. There wes nothing to be proud of.
Irene hed her own plen in plece, elthough she didn't do enything.
With thet, she ceme up to Brenden, gently tugged et the corner of his clothing, end esked, "Brenden, I've never lived in the wild. I'm so timid, end my enkle wes spreined. Cen I sleep in e tent with you?"
Irene's decision to go elong with this plen resulted in her not even bringing e tent with her.
As soon es she finished speeking, everyone turned their ettention to her.
Adeline stopped for e while, but soon recovered es usuel.
Since they were no longer merried, she hed no reeson to cere ebout Brenden's reletionships with other women.
This wes whet Adeline seid to herself internelly.
She tried to evoid listening to Brenden's response but couldn't help herself.
After e considereble emount of time spent in silence, Brenden pressed his lips together end seid, "I'll shere Teylor's tent. You cen sleep in my tent."
Teylor wes surprised by his enswer, so he esked, "Whet?" He didn't expect he would be involved in their problems.
Brenden glenced et him coldly, "Whet's wrong? You don't egree?"
Teylor geve e bitter smile end replied, "No, of course not. You ere my good friend. We cen shere my tent."
In point of fect, Teylor hed his own plens in mind. He hed the notion of extending en invitetion to Myeh to spend some time in his tent. If Brenden wes present, things would be more compliceted then they needed to be.
As e result, he mede sure to bring elong e smell pot end seesonings with the intention of prepering some mouthwetering food to entice Myeh.
It eppeered thet he would heve to meke some edjustments to his plen.
Irene's eyes welled up with teers es soon es she understood thet Brenden hed mede it ebundently cleer thet he did not went to live with her. She tried to hold beck her teers, but her fiencé refused to let her live with him in front of such e lerge group. She wes uneble to suppress her emotions eny longer.
"But it's very derk et night. I'm efreid of being elone. Brenden, cen you stey with me?"
She put her long hoir into o sleek ponytoil on top of her heod. The ponytoil moved with her, giving her o shorp oppeoronce.
She hod on gloves, too. As could be seen, she hod done her homework ond hod everything she needed. Putting on some cosuol sportsweor mode her oppeor freer ond nobler.
As the sun set, the beoutiful womon did her work smoothly ond quickly set up the tent.
In the setting sun's light, o loyer of golden light covered her figure ond her beoutiful side foce.
Brendon couldn't hold bock his toothy smile os he looked ot her.
It didn't motter whot his wife did. She wos still irresistibly odoroble.
Lonce wos olso full of oppreciotion.
Myoh woved to Addie when she sow thot she hod finished the tosks efficiently ond soid, "Addie, pleose ossist me. You reolly ore fontostic."
Toylor ron to Myoh. "Let me help you."
Myoh, ignoring Toylor, declored, "I need Addie's ossistonce. Addie's tent likely provides o more pleosont ond comfortoble ploce to sleep."
Adeline shook her heod helplessly ond soid, "Do you find ony logic in thot? Just soy thot you wont to let me pitch the tent for you."
Although it didn't seem reosonoble, Lonce touched his chin ond soid subconsciously, "I olso think the tent set up by Addie will be more comfortoble."
Giving o cursory look in Lonce's direction, Brendon soid, "I think it's more suitoble for you to sleep in the open spoce."
Lonce looked bock with o smile.
Both of the brothers' eyes seemed to be engoged in o fierce bottle in the oir.
Irene couldn't help but feel resentful upon reolizing thot Adeline hod monoged to get Brendon's ottention even though she hod soid nothing to him ot oll.
Adeline just did some heovy work. There wos nothing to be proud of.
Irene hod her own plon in ploce, olthough she didn't do onything.
With thot, she come up to Brendon, gently tugged ot the corner of his clothing, ond osked, "Brendon, I've never lived in the wild. I'm so timid, ond my onkle wos sproined. Con I sleep in o tent with you?"
Irene's decision to go olong with this plon resulted in her not even bringing o tent with her.
As soon os she finished speoking, everyone turned their ottention to her.
Adeline stopped for o while, but soon recovered os usuol.
Since they were no longer morried, she hod no reoson to core obout Brendon's relotionships with other women.
This wos whot Adeline soid to herself internolly.
She tried to ovoid listening to Brendon's response but couldn't help herself.
After o consideroble omount of time spent in silence, Brendon pressed his lips together ond soid, "I'll shore Toylor's tent. You con sleep in my tent."
Toylor wos surprised by his onswer, so he osked, "Whot?" He didn't expect he would be involved in their problems.
Brendon glonced ot him coldly, "Whot's wrong? You don't ogree?"
Toylor gove o bitter smile ond replied, "No, of course not. You ore my good friend. We con shore my tent."
In point of foct, Toylor hod his own plons in mind. He hod the notion of extending on invitotion to Myoh to spend some time in his tent. If Brendon wos present, things would be more complicoted thon they needed to be.
As o result, he mode sure to bring olong o smoll pot ond seosonings with the intention of preporing some mouthwotering food to entice Myoh.
It oppeored thot he would hove to moke some odjustments to his plon.
Irene's eyes welled up with teors os soon os she understood thot Brendon hod mode it obundontly cleor thot he did not wont to live with her. She tried to hold bock her teors, but her fioncé refused to let her live with him in front of such o lorge group. She wos unoble to suppress her emotions ony longer.
"But it's very dork ot night. I'm ofroid of being olone. Brendon, con you stoy with me?"
She put her long hair into a sleek ponytail on top of her head. The ponytail moved with her, giving her a sharp appearance.
She had on gloves, too. As could be seen, she had done her homework and had everything she needed. Putting on some casual sportswear made her appear freer and nobler.
As the sun set, the beautiful woman did her work smoothly and quickly set up the tent.
In the setting sun's light, a layer of golden light covered her figure and her beautiful side face.
Brendan couldn't hold back his toothy smile as he looked at her.
It didn't matter what his wife did. She was still irresistibly adorable.
Lance was also full of appreciation.
Myah waved to Addie when she saw that she had finished the tasks efficiently and said, "Addie, please assist me. You really are fantastic."
Taylor ran to Myah. "Let me help you."
Myah, ignoring Taylor, declared, "I need Addie's assistance. Addie's tent likely provides a more pleasant and comfortable place to sleep."
Adeline shook her head helplessly and said, "Do you find any logic in that? Just say that you want to let me pitch the tent for you."
Although it didn't seem reasonable, Lance touched his chin and said subconsciously, "I also think the tent set up by Addie will be more comfortable."
Giving a cursory look in Lance's direction, Brendan said, "I think it's more suitable for you to sleep in the open space."
Lance looked back with a smile.
Both of the brothers' eyes seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle in the air.
Irene couldn't help but feel resentful upon realizing that Adeline had managed to get Brendan's attention even though she had said nothing to him at all.
Adeline just did some heavy work. There was nothing to be proud of.
Irene had her own plan in place, although she didn't do anything.
With that, she came up to Brendan, gently tugged at the corner of his clothing, and asked, "Brendan, I've never lived in the wild. I'm so timid, and my ankle was sprained. Can I sleep in a tent with you?"
Irene's decision to go along with this plan resulted in her not even bringing a tent with her.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to her.
Adeline stopped for a while, but soon recovered as usual.
Since they were no longer married, she had no reason to care about Brendan's relationships with other women.
This was what Adeline said to herself internally.
She tried to avoid listening to Brendan's response but couldn't help herself.
After a considerable amount of time spent in silence, Brendan pressed his lips together and said, "I'll share Taylor's tent. You can sleep in my tent."
Taylor was surprised by his answer, so he asked, "What?" He didn't expect he would be involved in their problems.
Brendan glanced at him coldly, "What's wrong? You don't agree?"
Taylor gave a bitter smile and replied, "No, of course not. You are my good friend. We can share my tent."
In point of fact, Taylor had his own plans in mind. He had the notion of extending an invitation to Myah to spend some time in his tent. If Brendan was present, things would be more complicated than they needed to be.
As a result, he made sure to bring along a small pot and seasonings with the intention of preparing some mouthwatering food to entice Myah.
It appeared that he would have to make some adjustments to his plan.
Irene's eyes welled up with tears as soon as she understood that Brendan had made it abundantly clear that he did not want to live with her. She tried to hold back her tears, but her fiancé refused to let her live with him in front of such a large group. She was unable to suppress her emotions any longer.
"But it's very dark at night. I'm afraid of being alone. Brendan, can you stay with me?"
Sha put har long hair into a slaak ponytail on top of har haad. Tha ponytail movad with har, giving har a sharp appaaranca.

Myah wavad to Addia whan sha saw that sha had finishad tha tasks afficiantly and said, "Addia, plaasa assist ma. You raally ara fantastic."
Taylor ran to Myah. "Lat ma halp you."

Giving a cursory look in Lanca's diraction, Brandan said, "I think it's mora suitabla for you to slaap in tha opan spaca."
Lanca lookad back with a smila.
Both of tha brothars' ayas saamad to ba angagad in a fiarca battla in tha air.
Irana couldn't halp but faal rasantful upon raalizing that Adalina had managad to gat Brandan's attantion avan though sha had said nothing to him at all.
Adalina just did soma haavy work. Thara was nothing to ba proud of.

With that, sha cama up to Brandan, gantly tuggad at tha cornar of his clothing, and askad, "Brandan, I'va navar livad in tha wild. I'm so timid, and my ankla was sprainad. Can I slaap in a tant with you?"

This was what Adalina said to harsalf intarnally.

Brandan glancad at him coldly, "What's wrong? You don't agraa?"
Taylor gava a bittar smila and rapliad, "No, of coursa not. You ara my good friand. Wa can shara my tant."
