Chapter 166

“I’m heading out,” she murmured under her breath..

Brandon didn’t utter a word, his hand frozen in mid-air after she pushed it away, his gaze complex as he watched her. Sophia’s eyes were downcast, avoiding his gaze.

She didn’t dare look at him. This version of Brandon would just make her heartache and go all mushy.

She turned and shoved open the car door.

Brandon watched her, his hand twitched but ultimately didn’t reach out, silently observing as she got out of the car.

He didn’t stop her, nor did he dare to.

Sophia had told him many times to let her go, but never as bluntly and thoroughly as this time.

So blunt that he felt like a total jerk, unworthy of bothering her.

Maybe Sophia was right.

He didn’t care for her enough, failing to notice her needs, her grievances.

During those two years of marriage, he took her company for granted.

He relished her quiet presence, her companionship, but never pondered what she got out of the marriage.

She was smart, hardworking, had her own career and wealth. The money she earned was more than enough to satisfy her material desires. So, she didn’t need marriage for material pleasure, let alone to climb social ladders.

She never chased after such superficial things.

They married because of a child, but that child didn’t stay.

Over the following year, he considered her health and insisted on not having kids.
