Chapter 697

Brandon gave her a dismissive glance, then caught Theresa in a hug while casually pulling out a chair for Sophia. They sat down together.

Susan and Kent soon joined them, sitting across the table.

Their interaction was so natural that there wasn't a hint of awkwardness from the earlier teasing. Susan was even excitedly asking Kent to show her pictures of his little fan club, and Kent handed over his phone without a second thought, scrolling through work photos. There wasn't a trace of awkwardness or discomfort.

Sophia couldn't quite recall what their relationship used to be like, but now it seemed like there was nothing but honesty between them.

"What's the deal with those two?" she asked Brandon in a whisper, leaning in close.

"Probably just stubborn as a mule," Brandon replied, loud enough for Susan and Kent to hear.

They glanced up, curiosity piqued, as they were in the middle of discussing Kent's admirers.

"What's that you're saying?" Susan asked, her interest clearly piqued.
