Chapter 104

Brandon seemed just as surprised to bump into her, his gaze lingering on her bare shoulders for a moment before shifting away, his body subtly turning to the side.

“Why are you still up so late?” Brandon asked, without looking at her.

“I already took a nap, just woke up,” Sophia replied softly, trying to keep her voice steady while her hands awkwardly shifted in front of her chest under the pretense of adjusting her hair.

Though they had been married for two years and had shared more intimate moments, they weren’t exactly tight. Plus, with a two-year gap of not seeing each other, the whole scene was still mega awkward for Sophia.

Luckily, Brandon might have been tough, but his upbringing shone through.

He didn’t stare at her, just grunted an “Mhm” before heading to the living room.

Sophia didn’t dare linger either. She quickly opened the bedroom door and slipped inside..

Closing the door, she let out a huge sigh of relief, her heart still racing, thump-thump-thumping away, and her hand instinctively pulled up the strap resting on her shoulder.

She had never worn something so breezy around Brandon before.

Their relationship was an odd one. fiery and passionate in bed, but once the heat died down, they both reverted to their prim and proper selves, maintaining a composed front around each other.

She only wore such skimpy slips when alone, not because they were sexy or anything, just comfy and convenient.

She had come back this time prepared to stay at the hospital, but had also planned on crashing at a hotel for a bit, where these easy-to-wash nighties were perfect. She hadn’t thought she’d wander to the bathroom in a daze with it on..

Glancing at herself in the mirror and thinking back to the encounter with Brandon, Sophia felt extra uneasy and tugged at her slip again.
