Chapter 269
Sophia stared at him, dumbfounded.
Under the streetlight, Brandon's handsome face was calm and serious.
She was reminded of her 17th birthday night.
Brandon was just like now, serene yet earnest, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
He was never one for sweet nothings, but when he crouched in front of her and asked softly, "What's wrong?" she was a goner for his tenderness.
But the gentle boy who had appeared in her time of loneliness never showed up in their marriage.
During their two-year marriage, he never reassured her like he did at seventeen, never said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here," nor did he utter, "I don't want to let go," like now. All they had was rationality.
The sting in her nose that she had suppressed earlier was threatening to resurface. For a moment, the tender man from her 17th birthday seemed to return, but such tenderness was fleeting. The two years of marriage had left deep marks. She had already fallen hard for his gentleness once, and Sophia dared not tumble a second time.
She sniffed, trying to hold back the tears that still threatened to fall as she looked into his eyes.
"Brandon, thank you," she said softly, truly grateful for the reminder of the good times he had once brought her.
Brandon saw the slight smile on her lips and responded with a faint one of his
own.
"No problem," he said, without pressing her further.
He leaned in and suddenly wrapped his arms around her gently.
Sophia stiffened instinctively.
Brandon held her softly and whispered in her ear, "Get some rest."
Then he let go of her gently.
Sophia didn't quite catch his meaning and nodded stiffly, "You too, get some rest."
She then pushed open the car door, stepped out, and waved goodbye to him, "You can go back, stay safe on the road."
"Sure."
