The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 47

“Ever seen that bracelet?” Brandon asked.

Sophia snapped back to reality shaking her head in confusion, “Nope

But Brandon’s eyes were still glued on her, “Your peepers are telling me a different story though, you know it.”

Sophia still looked like she was at sea, just as clueless.

Brandon had never seen such a spaced-out look on her face before.

Instinctively, he grabbed her arm, “Sophia?

The pain snapped her back to the moment, and she looked at Brandon, whose handsome face was etched with

concem and a barely noticeable anxiety, a burning need to uncover the truth.

Seeing no one was paying her any mind. Marian, who was in the middle of a hissy fit, got even more ticked off and moved closer to the pair, “What’s the deal with you two? Were you even watching where you were going? What if you had bumped into someone?

Sophia’s attention was pulled back, and she quickly apologized to Marian, “Sorry about that, it was our bad. You’re not hurt, are you?

It was only then that Marian got a good look at Sophia, recognizing her as the girl from the exhibition whom she’d almost knocked over the day before, and said, surprised, “Oh? It’s you?!”

“What do you want now?” she asked nervously. “I’ve told you it’s mine. It’s been with me as long as I can remember, so don’t even think about getting your hands on it.

Sophia couldn’t help but glance at the protected bracelet, still looking like she was lost in the fog, but her gaze involuntarily drifted back to Brandon.

She saw a slight frown form on Brandon’s forehead, a thoughtful look as he glanced at Marian
