Chapter 176

Brandon had a poker face, didn't say a word, didn't even glance back at Sophia, but his grip on her wrist was tight, showing no signs of letting go.

Marian threw a puzzled look at Brandon and then turned to Sophia.

Sophia's expression was equally calm.

Marian noticed a slight twitch in Sophia's wrist as if she wanted to pull away, but then she stopped.

Sophia didn't want to become the center of attention.

She chose to compromise, turned around, and gave an awkward smile to the onlookers, then sat down where she was.

Finally, Brandon's grip on her wrist loosened.

The two hadn't exchanged a single word throughout, but the undercurrents between them made everyone exchange glances, kind of clueless about what was going on, but the air was thick with gossip.

Don gave Brandon and Sophia a thoughtful look.

Sophia remained indifferent, lost in her thoughts as she stared at the bonfire.

The coolness on Brandon's handsome face didn't fade away.

He was silent, but his aura of gloom spread, scattering the previously lively atmosphere.

The volume of everyone's conversations dropped unconsciously.

Don approached with a smile, patting Brandon on the shoulder, "What brings you here, man?"

While speaking, Don sat down next to Brandon, trying to break the ice.
