His eyes had already given her the answer.
Sophia had no clue why Brandon suddenly linked her with Yolanda out of the blue.
It came totally out of left field.
There wasn't a hint of this earlier in the day.
"You ran into some trouble or something?" Sophia asked with a frown, "What made you think of this all of a sudden?"
Brandon didn't beat around the bush. "I came across a girl who might be Yolanda."
Sophia felt a sting in her heart, but quickly let it go. After all, she had divorced Brandon while she was still in love with him, and it hadn't been long since their split. She wasn't completely over him yet, so it was natural to feel a twinge at the mention of another girl.
After shaking off the feeling, she looked at him with a smile and genuine goodwill. "Well, that's great news, congrats!"
But Brandon's expression suddenly turned bleak.
Sophia picked up on the drop in his mood, "Aren't you happy about it?"
"No," he replied curtly, his face betraying his true feelings.
Sophia pretended not to notice and gave a forced chuckle in response, suddenly at a loss for how to continue the conversation. So, she just picked up her glass and quietly sipped her water.
Brandon looked at her. "Aren't you curious?"
Sophia looked back, puzzled. "Curious? Why should I be?"
