Sophia was taken aback by Brandon's response.
He never gave an answer if he wasn't sure.
"There's always a chance, right?" Sophia puzzled, "People don't just randomly link one person to another without reason."
Brandon glanced at her. "Gut feeling."
"But, we've known each other for more than a day, right?" she said, still not getting his sudden hunch.
Brandon pursed his lips slightly, seeming reluctant to answer that question.
The confusion in Sophia's eyes deepened. The Brandon she knew was always decisive, even when it came to divorce, he only pondered for a few seconds before nodding firmly. Even when bringing up Yolanda, he remained silent for a while before telling her the whole story. She couldn't think of anything that would make him hesitate.
Brandon didn't miss the confusion in her eyes, but he didn't want her to probe into this, didn't want her to know that from the very first moment he saw her years ago, he had already associated her with Yolanda.
"Maybe it's just a stroke of serendipity," he stood up, "You haven't given me your answer yet."
As he stood, his towering height loomed over her in an instant.
Sophia had to look up at him. "I think you're changing the subject."
"You're the one beating around the bush."
Sophia was left speechless, squinting at him suspiciously, "You're playing the blame game here. Getting a late-night visit asking if I'm someone else, I have to clear it up," Sophia added, "What if you actually had some evidence or leads?"
Brandon frowned. "Evidence and leads?"
He looked at her thoughtfully, "Why do you care about this? Normal people would just deny being someone else straight away unless they're unsure about their own background and looking for answers themselves."
