The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 45

Brandon just watched her silently, waiting for her answer..

Sophia hesitated for a moment, and then looked at him. “Did you overhear me on the phone just now?”

Brandon gave a slight nod, pretty chill about it, “I happened to be at the door and caught a bit of it by accident.”

Sophia awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, “What a coincidence.”

Brandon cracked a small smile too, “Yeah, quite the coincidence.”

His eyes still fixed on her, he repeated his earlier question, “What’s not clicking between us?”

Sophia’s soup sipping slowed down to a halt as she looked at him, “Why are you all of a sudden so curious about this?”

“I’m just wondering, Brandon said, his composure as cool as a cucumber.

The expected answer.

Sophia stirred her soup spoon lightly, falling silent for a while, before looking at him, “Different goals, I guess.”

Brandon probed, “Like what?”

“You’re all about work, and I’m all about life, Sophia spoke softly, her eyes on him, “All you want is marriage, but I’m looking for love”

Brandon’s brow furrowed ever so slightly, he just looked at her, not saying a word.

Sophia let out a small chuckle, “Marriage might be just a duty to you. It doesn’t matter who you marry, who the mother. of your children is. To you, a partner might just be a symbol called ‘wife Anyone could fit the bill, but I can’t. Besides

these internal issues, we’re also not a match on the outside.”

Sophia continued, “You come from a well-off family, all wealthy and powerful, plenty of girls from similar backgrounds are into you. While my family, we’ve got nothing, and my relatives are,”

Sophia paused, shook her head with a chuckle, then looked at him again, “Basically, we’re just from different worlds, right? We got together by some fluke, and it’s been a mistake from the start. Now we’re just getting our lives back on track, that’s all.”

Brandon looked at her, his expression serene, “Were these past two years just a mistake to you?”

Sophia thought for a moment, then nodded, “Yeah.”
