Chapter 685

"I'm sorry, I..."

Brandon's voice was hoarse as he tried to apologize, but the words felt empty. The damage was done, and no amount of "sorry" could erase it.

He always tried to be careful, to avoid hurting her again, but every now and then, memories of their tangled past would surface, and he couldn't help but show a hint of longing for the way she used to be.

Sophia didn't say a word. She gently pushed him away, gave him a polite smile, adjusted her sweater, and softly said, "I need to get back to work..."

She turned to leave.

Brandon reached out and caught her arm.

Sophia didn't turn back but gently tried to pull away.
