Chapter 673

Know Your Pain

Bryson looked at the on–hook phone. Sorrow was etched on his face.

All along, Gloria hadn‘t made any explanation. She just asked him if he believed her.

He did but wanted to hear her explanation. It was not about the truth but about whether she cared
about him or not.

If she did, she would explain.

In the past, when there was any conflict, Gloria would explain despite her cold personality. Now, she
didn‘t mention a word. Her indifference frightened him so much that his deepest worries kept popping
up in his mind.

“No! No way!”

Bryson felt a chill down his spine.

Melissa came downstairs, happening to hear her son‘s self–talk and see his bloodless face.

Her eyes flickered with distress. She had seen the trending topics when she was upstairs.

She knew the cause of the situation.

His eyes were vacant as he was sitting all alone on the sofa in the living room.

Melissa went over, sat down next to him, and asked in a soft voice, “What are you doing here all
alone?”

Bryson came to his senses and turned to look at Melissa. A light came back to his eyes.



Seeing that it was his mother, he looked away, and his eyes slid out of focus again.

Worried about her son, Melissa grabbed his wrist and asked, “Son, why wouldn‘t you talk to me?”

“I‘m not.” Bryson got out of the daze and pursed his lips.

Melissa narrowed her eyes. Her son was always like this. He kept everything to himself and never
complained.

However, what happened today was a heavy blow to him. He might not be able to take it.

Gloria was the only person who could hurt him so much.

Melissa sighed and shook her head.

Bryson looked over and asked, “What‘s wrong?“.

“I‘m just feeling upset.”

Bryson changed color and asked, “How so?”

His voice was tentative and cautious.

Without a doubt, he was worried that his mother had seen the trending topics although she rarely
browsed Twitter.

Afraid of his mother’s prejudice against Gloria, Bryson didn’t dare to mention it. After all, there was a
chance that she didn’t know.

He didn’t want his mother to be dissatisfied with Gloria, not even in the slightest.

While he was torn, Melissa looked at him and enunciated, “I saw it.”



Bryson changed color and shook his head. “Mom, things are not like what

With mixed feelings, Melissa looked at her son and lamented, “Son, I know how much you love her.
She’s the only woman you want to spend your life with. You don’t care about her past, but that’s
pressure for her.”

“Bryson’s eyelashes trembled, and his lips twitched. “Mom, you mean…‘you think.”

Bryson’s face further blanched.

He knew the answer. He was just unconvinced.

Following a sigh, Melissa said, “I know your pain, but have you thought about the cause of everything?”
