Chapter 129 It wasn't until Lisa handedthe freshly brewed coffee that she finally said," Chris is such a jerk. I never realized how awful he was until he showed his true colors." I took a couple of sips of the coffee. "Turns out, he was just pitying me." Even though Chris and I had broken up the great memories of our past still lingered in my heart. But today, his words shattered the fragile facade around those cherished moments.

Lisa gently squeezed my shoulder. "It's not too late to see him for what he really is." I stayed silent.

But he was right about one thing. After the car accident, when my parents lay in the cold morgue, I was left alone in the world. I had no idea what to do.

I gave a bitter smile. "You think this is skind of TV show where you can just start dating on command?" "Well, life inspires TV shows. This is the only way to free yourself from Chris and make him snap out of it," Lisa encouraged me.

I lowered my gaze, and she continued, "Brandon would be perfect for this." "No way! Definitely not him." I shook my head.

"He's the best choice. The perfect candidate," Lisa insisted.

"Letthink about it," I muttered, my mind in turmoil.

But Lisa was relentless. She continuously convincedthat this was the best plan.

And even after a few glasses of wine, she was still pushing me. "Call Brandont now and lay out the terms of faking a relationship with him. If he doesn't agree, then forget it." "No way. What if he takes it seriously?" I was still hesitant. "What if he's willing to play along?" Lisa countered.

Swirling the wine in my glass, I watched the liquid. "Brandon, would • your pretend to be my boyfriend? I X
