Chapter 496

Sophia gave him a quick glance, saw his cool, indifferent expression, and finally nodded, "Yeah."

She fell silent, and just sat there quietly in the car, her gaze drifting to the scenery outside the window.

Brandon couldn't help but steal a glance at her.

"I," He paused for a moment, then softened his voice to speak, "I'm not exactly thrilled hearing you talk about other guys, especially when he's your so-called 'Mr. Perfect."

Sophia looked at him, surprised.

Brandon's handsome face was slightly tense, and he didn't look at her.

His voice was calm, and he drove seriously, without glancing her way.

Sophia couldn't help but look at him.

The winter sunset filtered through the car window, casting a glow on his stoic face.

He seemed serious when he said those words, and whether it was the sunset playing tricks, his seriousness seemed to carry a touch of desolation and a sense of giving up.
