"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.
