Chapter 292

"No way." Grace replied instinctively, "Don't be fooled by her young age, she's super cautious. She won't let strangers hug her, let alone cling to them."

Brandon glanced at her.

Grace suddenly felt a bit awkward and laughed, "I guess she just likes you a lot. This girl has always been a sucker for good looks. Must be because you are easy on the eyes."

Brandon's lips curved slightly but he remained silent.

Grace walked him out, thanking him again with all the pleasantries, and then said goodbye.

Brandon also bid her farewell and stepped into the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, Brandon's eyes lingered on the buttons for a moment before he pressed for the 15th floor.

The elevator promptly stopped at the 15th floor.

The doors opened and Brandon walked out expressionless, but as he looked up, his steady pace slowed to a halt.

Sophia was standing at her door, key in hand, seemingly about to unlock the door yet hesitating, her quiet and beautiful face looking a tad forlorn.

She too heard the elevator and slowly turned to look at him.

"Just got back?"

Brandon asked, standing still.

Sophia nodded gently, "Yeah."

"Aren't you curious why I'm here?" Brandon asked as he walked towards her.

Sophia lowered her eyelids, going with the flow, and quietly asked, "Why are you here?"

"I was passing by the children's park after work when I came across this little girl, just over a year old. We sort of hit it off, and she clung to me for some reason, so I ended up walking her home."

Brandon spoke as he approached her and stopped by the door, giving her a look.

Sophia's eyelids were still down, she didn't look up at him, just softly said, "That's nice."

"Yeah," Brandon replied casually, taking the keys from her hand to unlock the door.
