Chapter 681

Sophia leaned her head slightly, her gaze completely fixed on Theresa's face, her eyes calm and gentle.

Brandon, though not directly facing her eyes, could clearly see the serene

tenderness in her expression as she watched Theresa, her face softly lit by the lamp.

In this moment, she resembled the Sophia from before the incident, her heart and eyes filled solely with Theresa, her features imbued with a unique gentleness reserved just for her.

It had been a long time since Brandon had seen this side of Sophia, and he found himself momentarily entranced.

Instinctively, she stretched her slightly sore back, withdrew her hand from under her head, and shifted to lie flat. As she turned, her eyes met Brandon's, who was quietly watching her.
