The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Kent just didn’t get it. Why the heck did they need to dig into Sophia’s childhood past? Couldn’t they just straight-up ask her if something was up?

He recalled that although Brandon and Sophia had split, they weren’t exactly at each other’s throats.

Brandon wasn’t in the mood to spill the beans. “Just do it,” was all he said.

Kent asked, “Can I just hit up Ms. Yearwood directly?”

To him, it seemed like the no-brainer way to go. But Brandon gave him a glance that said, “Do I look like I’m all mouth and no trousers?”

Kent clammed up. Brandon sure had that ‘button your lip’ vibe going on.

Brandon could see right through him. “What’s with the face?”

Kent straightened up, “Nothing.”

Then, pounding his chest for emphasis, he promised, “I’ll get to the bottom of it, for sure.”

But his curiosity got the better of him again, “Mr. Crawley, can I ask why we’re digging into this?”

He blurted it out but worried about setting Brandon off, quickly adding. “It’ll help me zero in on what I need to find out.”

“You don’t need to zero in on anything,” Brandon shot him down. “Just suss out her relationship with her family, check if she’s the real deal Yearwood kid, any special stuff from when she was a nipper.”

“Huh?” Kent was baffled again, his curiosity rearing its head, “But why?”

As soon as he looked up, he was met with Brandon’s icy stare and promptly zipped his lips.
