Chapter 380

Sophia looked up in surprise but before she could get a good look, her head was pressed back against Brandon's chest.

He didn't let her see his face; instead, he just held her tighter, tilting his head slightly down with his cheek against the top of her head.

Sophia's hand, hanging by her side, hesitated before gently wrapping around him.

She didn't speak, nor did Brandon. His palm caressed her long hair as he leaned in and kissed her again.

That night, they both ended up crashing at the place.

The next day was the weekend, no rush for work, and Brandon was a bit emotional that night, which made him pretty ruthless in the bedroom, throwing caution to the wind.

The consequence of such indulgence was that they both woke up later than Theresa the next morning.

Theresa only realized her parents weren't around when she woke up.

She vaguely remembered her mom mentioning she was going to pick up dad last

night, and now that she couldn't see either of them, she felt a bit uneasy and couldn't help but wake Grace, who was still sleeping beside her.

"Grace, where are my mom and dad?"

"Your parents are in the next-door studio," Grace soothed her, knowing that Sophia had messaged saying they'd stay there.

"But it's already so bright outside." Theresa looked at the sunlight spilling over the windowsill, still a bit anxious, "I want to go find my dad and mom."

Grace wasn't sure if Sophia and Brandon were up yet and coaxed her, "How about we call your mom and dad first?"

Theresa hesitantly nodded, "Okay."

Grace grabbed the phone from the bedside table and called Sophia. It took a while before the call was answered with a deep, husky voice - not Sophia's.

"Daddy?" Theresa asked uncertainly.

"Yeah, it's me," Brandon's voice was clearer now, faintly accompanied by footsteps.

"Why are you up so early, Theresa?" Brandon asked, his deep voice husky yet gentle.
