Chapter 134

“I told him to head back first, Sophia replied hesitantly.

Brandon’s frown deepened, “You let him go just like that, and he left you behind?”

Sophia knew he had gotten the wrong idea and hurried to explain, “No, it’s not his fault. I told him my family was coming to take care of me, and that’s why he left.”

“Did he actually see any of your family?”

Sophia was speechless.

“He bailed without seeing anyone? Isn’t that still on him?”

“So, whatever he does, he’s Mr. Perfect in your book, huh?” Brandon said.

Sophia didn’t say anything.

Brandon glanced at the mess on the floor and then at her still somewhat pale face. He hadn’t forgotten the painful expression she had when he first came in and saw her hunched over on the floor.

Brandon looked at her, “Still feeling dizzy?”
