Chapter 214

Sophia was zoning out, staring at Brandon on the security feed, lips pressed together in a tight line, staying silent.

Theresa, noticing Sophia lost in her phone, couldn't help but stretch her neck curiously towards the screen.

Worried that Theresa might get spooked by Brandon's icy glare on the monitor, Sophia quickly pressed her phone down.

She didn't want Theresa to get the wrong idea about Brandon.

Theresa didn't get a glimpse and wasn't bummed out, just puzzled as her gaze drifted from Sophia's phone pressed against her chest to the bustling crowd, where she spotted Ivan.

"Uncle Ivan!"

She blurted out unexpectedly.

Sophia's heart skipped a beat at the shout, and she instinctively looked up. Seeing Ivan coming with the crowd, her racing heart began to calm down.

Ivan noticed her too, flashed a smile and a wave, then turned his attention to Theresa, who was still eagerly looking at him, and greeted her as well.

Theresa sweetly replied, "Hi, Uncle Ivan."

Sophia managed a strained smile, "What a coincidence."

Susan, seated by the window, awkwardly chimed in, "Uh, Ivan did ask me which flight we were taking."

Ivan jumped in, "I specifically booked this flight."

Sophia was at a loss for words for a moment, her smile faltering almost as quickly as it appeared.

Ivan didn't mind.

"I'm gonna head over there," he said.

Sophia nodded slightly, "Mhm."

Her focus shifted back to the phone she was pressing against her chest. Her hand hesitated, contemplating shutting it off, but paused as her finger touched the power button.

Sophia picked up her phone again.

On the screen, Brandon was still staring coldly at the security camera, his handsome face expressionless and his hand knocking on the door, seemingly determined not to stop until she responded.

With a slight press of her lips, Sophia finally, hesitantly, dialed him back.

Before the first ring could finish, the call was answered.
