Chapter 108

“No need to add, I guess,” Sophia said, “Just call me if you need anything. It’s not like we chat on WhatsApp anyway”

Brandon’s lips curled slightly, “Phone calls? You change your number so often you could give phone scammers a run for their money.”

Sophia fell silent.

Brandon had already put his phone away, “Forget it.”

He started the car and spoke in a casual tone, “You heading home or to the hospital?”

Sophia figured that going to the hospital would mean dealing with Laura’s thinly veiled insults again and disturbing Haley’s rest, so she softly suggested, “Let’s just go home.”

Brandon grunted in acknowledgment, not adding anything more.

He dropped her off at the base of the apartment building.

“You should get some rest back at home. There’s food in the fridge, you can whip something up or order takeout,” Brandon said. “We have a housekeeper who cooks, but I haven’t been eating at home lately, so I didn’t ask her to come by. I can give you her number if you want.”

“No need, I can handle it myself,” Sophia replied while unbuckling her seatbelt. After a moment’s thought, she felt she should give him a heads up, “I don’t think it’s very convenient staying here, I’m thinking of moving to a hotel.”

Brandon glanced at her, his aura dropping a few degrees, but he remained silent.

Sophia’s hand lingered on the seatbelt as she spoke softly, “You see, if I try to give you a heads up, you disagree. If I go ahead and do it, you get mad. Brandon, don’t you think this is getting old?”

She turned to face him, “Brandon, what’s with the back and forth? I’m not Yolanda, you figured that out two years ago. I don’t have anything else left. If it’s just about getting used to things, hasn’t it been long enough?”

Brandon chuckled, looking at her, “Indeed, what’s there about you that’s worth all this fuss.”
