NovelOnlineSophia instinctively turned around and saw Brandon pushing the door open, pausing for a moment in surprise.
Daniel also looked up at Brandon, but instead of the hot-headedness of the past, he seemed much calmer this time, showing no
signs of guilt or backing down, just staring steadily at Brandon.
Brandon's handsface was cold and tense, and who knew how long he had been there or how much he had heard.
He walked over to Sophia expressionlessly, bent down to pull her up, and then turned to Daniel.
"This is between her and me; you don't need to butt in." Brandon said, his voice even, "Just focus on getting better."
With that, he took Sophia by the hand and started to leave.
"Hold on." Daniel spoke up, stopping him, "You heard it yourself, she's not into you. Look at what you've got and what she’s got.
You can have anyone you want, why hang yourself on one tree?"
Brandon's Adam's apple bobbed violently, but when he turned back to face him, he was composed.
He glanced at Patricia, then back at Daniel, "When you married her, what were your prospects, and what were hers? You could
have had anyone, why stick with just her all these years?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaniel was at a loss for words.
Brandon said no more, taking Sophia and leaving.
It wasn't until the door closed that Daniel finally cto his senses, and couldn't help but shout towards the door, "Are you even
comparable to us? Your mom and | got married because we liked each other; you two are just together because of the kid. You only
brought her hbecause your grandpa was sick and wanted to see you settled down, didn't you? And my wife didn't marry me
for my family's money."
Brandon abruptly stopped in his tracks and turned around to go back.
Sophia caught him by the hand. Brandon looked back at her. Sophia didn't look up at him.
"He's telling the truth." Sophia said softly, "There's no need to argue with him; his health can't take it."
"And why don't you think about why it's you?" Brandon asked her coldly, "He's not wrong. | could have any woman | want, if it was
just to reassure my grandpa, why couldn't | pick anyone else? Is it because you look like Yolanda? Or because you're pregnant? Is
the kid that important to me? The world is so big; there are so many people like her, so why you?"
Sophia pressed her lips together, saying nothing.
Brandon also remained silent, leading her to the elevator and then to the parking lot.
As soon as the car door opened, he pushed her into the passenger seat and got in himself. The car quickly sped away.
The windows were down, and the wind gushed in, messing up their hair.
Sophia hesitated before glancing at him.
Brandon's handsface was tense, his arm's veins popping in and out as he gripped the steering wheel, his throat's well-defined
Adam's apple moving up and down with his breath.
Sophia gently pressed the window button.
The wide-open window slowly closed, and the howling wind was gradually blocked out by the glass.
"You don't have to speak now."
Brandon was the first to break the silence, his voice calm yet icy, "lI don't want to discuss anything with you right now, and there's
no need to."
Sophia nodded slightly, remaining silent.
Brandon said nothing more, his face still tense, as he drove to the apartment complex.

Sophia nodded again, silently opening the car door and getting out.
As she turned around, she couldn't help but softly caution him, "Drive safely."
Brandon's lips curled into a cold smirk as he looked at her, "You still care?"
Sophia pressed her lips, saying nothing.
Brandon promptly rolled up the window and drove off.
