The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 40

“Yeah, I’m heading back now, Sophia whispered, “Gotta hang up.”

And then she hung up the phone.

Brandon slowly put down his phone only when the busy signal “beep beep” hit his ears, glancing at the screen.

The phone had already gone back to the lock screen.

He unlocked it and, on the call log page, that dialed number was still just a string of digits.

That string of digits had been saved in Brandon’s contacts for eight years.

A number he jotted down in his youth, during the time he reconnected with Sophia, he almost never dialed it, even though he knew it by heart without having to save it

Brandon couldn’t tell why he never called in those years. He often thought of Sophia, remembered how she stood. quietly at the podium, introducing herself with her unique soft voice, “Hi everyone, I’m Sophia.” Every time he thought of her, he couldn’t help but fish out the number, but he never actually dialed it.
