The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 240

The front desk had turned to her and Brandon. "Ladies and gentlemen, could you please show your ID?"

Brandon passed over his ID, then turned to Sophia.

Sophia hesitated a bit.

"Maybe I should check online to see if there are any hotel rooms available nearby," she said tentatively.

Brandon didn't push her. "You check."

Sophia whipped out her phone, opened the app, and searched. It turned out all the nearby hotels were booked solid.

There was one room available 8 kilometers away, but the weather outside was nasty, with strong winds and heavy rain.

Sophia tried calling to ask, and indeed, there was one room left.

After hanging up, Sophia looked at Brandon uncertainly. "There's a hotel 8 kilometers away with a room. Maybe I should just stay there."

"You came with me, it's my duty to ensure your safety," Brandon said to her calmly. "I can't let you go stay in a hotel so far away all by yourself."

He glanced outside the door. "The weather's not fit for driving now."

Sophia still hesitated, her eyes flicking to the remaining room - just a double room.

A twin room would have been more convenient, a double room always felt a bit awkward.

"Lady?"

Seeing Sophia's hesitation, the receptionist looked at her and Brandon, puzzled.

She had assumed they were a couple or married.

Brandon simply extended his hand toward Sophia. "ID, please."

When it came to safety, Brandon was always firm.

Two years ago, when Sophia was found to be pregnant in Wye City, Brandon had adopted the same tough stance to prevent her from living alone.

Sophia had no choice.
