Chapter 704 

Feeling completely at ease, Brielle took the lunchbox from Annie’s hands

Thanks, you’re a lifesaver.” 

Annie nodded at her and handed over some documents to Max. These are the files for the upcoming meeting.” 

Max grabbed the documents and noticed Brielle holding the lunchbox. He stood up, stepped past Annie, and took the lunchbox from her. Is it heavy?” 

Brielle felt a sweet thrill of satisfaction as the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile. You go ahead and have your meeting, and I’ll set this up.” 

Annie stood beside them, her gaze shifting back and forth in confusion. She was genuinely puzzled. Why had these two suddenly made up

After delivering the files, she had no reason to stay, so she tactfully made her exit. As she stepped outside Pearl Estate, her mind was still trying to unravel the mystery. She was so lost in thought that she nearly tripped over her own feet

Why were they so fickle? Weren’t they at odds just yesterday? Relationships were far too complex, she mused. It seemed she had a lot more to learn

Upstairs, Brielle laid out the lunchbox contents 

closed his laptop to join her

– 

a hearty chicken soup and her favorite side dishes. Her smile deepened. Max casually

Brielle let out a halflaugh, halfsigh. Don’t you think I resemble her?” 

Not at all. You’re my girlfriend, and she’s my professor’s goddaughter. Once she finishes her PhD, she’ll 

be 

moving on

Brielle exhaled a sigh of relief. So what was all that jealousy about these past few days? She decided not to bring up the scarf incident, recalling her words from the night before about them both losing something important. They were even now. There was no point in holding grudges. Besides, that rosary seemed far more precious than any scarf

As long as she wasn’t a standin, everything else could be sorted out

Her mood lifted, but her eyes couldn’t help welling up. These past few days had been tough

Just as she was about to lean in for a kiss, the television news caught her attention. The couple’s wedding will take place tomorrow morning at eleven at the church. Previously released photos of the couple in wedding attire” 

The screen showed Andrew and Tessa in their wedding finery, Andrew with his arm around Tessa, who looked adoringly into his eyes
