The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 84

“Mr. Crawley, it’s midnight.” Kent couldn’t help but remind him..

“Hmm”

Kent didn’t say anything.

He couldn’t resist sneaking a peek at Brandon. Brandon’s handsome face was turned towards the window, his expression as calm as ever. Kent always felt that, calm as he was, something seemed missing compared to before he went abroad.

Before, Brandon’s calm was like the sea that welcomed a thousand rivers–serene and composed after weathering the years. Although he seemed a bit distant from the average Joe, he had the air of a detached. sage, high above the mundane world, merely lacking the common emotions and desires of ordinary people. Now, his calm seemed lifeless, like the stillness of death.

Kent had no clue what had happened to Brandon in Wye City and didn’t dare to pry. He only subtly advised. “Mr. Crawley, there’s no rush with work. The company’s running smoothly, and there’s no need to hurry. You’ve been on a plane for so long. Why not get over the jet lag first and give your body some rest?”

But his earnest advice was met with a calm response from Brandon. “No need.”

Kent didn’t dare to say anything more, driving smoothly, occasionally glancing at Brandon in the rearview mirror with concern.

Brandon sat in the backseat, arms crossed, his head slightly tilted towards the window.

The rear window was wide open, the cool night air rushing in with the speed of the car, messing up his hair. Brandon remained motionless throughout, calmly watching the passing traffic outside.

At this hour, the roads were mostly empty. Billboards and skyscrapers slowly turned off their lights. It was very quiet–not exactly the time to keep working.

Kent knew he shouldn’t ask, but he couldn’t help himself. “Mr. Crawley, did you run into Sophia during your time in Ephemora?”
