Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Sophia tumed around later than she should have and was momentarily stunned to see Brandon stepping out the door. Then she whispered to Susan, “Got something to take care of now, I’ll hit you up later.”

“Huh?” Susan, who was itching to get the scoop on Brandon, was also taken aback but quickly got her act together, “Oh, sure, take your time. Remember to take it easy.”

“Will do. You too, take it easy. Sophia hung up, handed the phone back to Ivan, and then turned to face Brandon.

He glanced at Ivan briefly, then tumed his gaze to Sophia, “Who’s this guy?”

Sophia was caught off guard at first but quickly composed herself, slightly turning her body and gesturing towards Ivan as she introduced, “Oh, this is Ivan, my senior from university. He was also our instructor for half a year and now we’re classmates again.”

After hearing the introduction, Brandon gave her a look and then turned to Ivan, his lips barely moving as he greeted him with a cool and polite, “Hello

Ivan returned the greeting with a “Hello” of his own and then looked at Sophia with a questioning gaze.

Only then did Sophia remember she hadn’t introduced Brandon. She pointed towards him and said, “He’s my…” Sophia hesitated, feeling odd about saying “ex-husband, but she managed to get it out with a stumble, ex-husband”

Brandon frowned slightly at the title, seemingly not fond of it

Ivan showed no surprise in his eyes and even nodded politely at Brandon as a form of greeting.

Brandon returned the gesture and refocused on Sophia, “If there’s something to discuss, let’s go inside. It’s cold out here”

Sophia instinctively refused, noticing that Brandon didn’t seem to be leaving. She couldn’t help but glance at him, “By the way, there’s a lecture
