Chapter 444 - 444: The Man Who Won her Heart (1/2)

”His name is Brandon Stone,” Marie answered Allen truthfully.

A deep frown appeared on Allen's forehead. This was the first time he heard that name. He had no idea that Marie knew someone and even fell in love with that man.

For so many years of being together, Marie had never mentioned Brandon Stone to him. Allen often heard about her ex-boyfriends but never heard about that person who was close to her heart.

Brandon Stone became a mystery for him. His interest and curiosity were piqued. He wanted to know more about that guy. He just wished that man would never hurt Marie just like what her ex-boyfriends did to her.

Though Marie had rejected his feelings for her, Allen still cared for her. All he wanted for her was to be happy. But he wanted to make sure that this Brandon Stone would do that for her.

”If you don't mind, can I ask you something about this Brandon Stone?” Allen said after he released her from his hug.

Marie didn't expect him to ask further but in the end, she just nodded in agreement.

”When did you meet him? Did you know him already before you lost your memory?” Allen asked her curiously.

”Yeah, I knew him already even before I lost my memory. He's my secret boyfriend,” Marie couldn't help but smile as she remembered what Black Shadow had told her before.

”So I'm sure you didn't know him,” Marie added.

”How did you know? Did you remember a portion of your memory?” Allen asked her expectantly.

Marie shook her head. ”He told me when we saw each other again. He's the mysterious guy who had been sending me flowers for the past two years.”

Allen was aware of the daffodil and the anonymous sender. He didn't know why but he had a nagging feeling about this. He was somehow suspicious of this Brandon Stone especially his motive.

'Why did he approach Marie after two years? He should have done that before, but why only now?' Allen pondered at that thought.

”Can you introduce us to each other? I'm curious. I wanna know the person who stole your heart from me.” Allen said it in a manner of a joke but he truly meant it.

”He will be working out-of-town this week. I will introduce you to him once he returns next week. I am also planning to introduce him to my parents. I will give you a heads-up.” Marie informed him.

”Hmm, okay. Thank you. I will be looking forward to that day, meeting the person who won your heart.”

Marie just looked at him helplessly because of his last remarks. She felt uncomfortable because she knew that she broke his heart tonight.

”Oh, by the way, how's the reunion five days ago? I'm sorry I was not able to attend. Besides, I am no longer a member of the police task force nor a member of Task Force Eagle.” Marie said, changing and diverting the topic.

”Oh, it's okay. We understand. But the team missed you. You're the only one who was not present that night. Captain Jason, Carl, and I had a few drinks while Jane went home early when her boyfriend came to pick her up.” Allen responded to her, giving her an idea of what happened during their reunion.

The original members of Special Task Force Eagles left the team already, only Jane remained.

Captain Jason was no longer the head of Eagles because he was promoted as Major General after they solved Catseye's Case two years ago.
