Chapter 687

The next morning, Sophia woke up in Brandon's arms, still in the same bed, under the same blanket.

After their late-night heart-to-heart, the tension between them had eased, but so had the whirlwind of emotions.

With clarity returning to her mind, she was left with the lingering awkwardness of having to face the aftermath of their candid conversation.

In the end, she used work as an excuse to escape the bedroom.

Perhaps due to the earlier discussion, Brandon, being the naturally composed person he was, didn't press further once the moment had passed.

The man who once claimed, "Who works in the middle of the night?" ended up standing by her side, helping her tweak the science museum design.

The changes weren't drastic-mostly minor adjustments.

They didn't manage to finish it all in one go, as Brandon wouldn't let her stay up too late.

He highlighted the sections that needed work, and after she made some rough modifications, he insisted she head back to bed.

When she lay down, he joined her, lying next to her.

They spent the night together in a rather innocent manner. Although she was still a bit tense, fatigue from the day and her previously strained body soon took over. She lay there, not even aware of when she drifted off or how she ended up snuggled into Brandon's arms.

As she opened her eyes, she saw Brandon quietly watching her.
