The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 94

Sophia didn’t make a beeline for the little girl’s table.

Instead, she just breezed past it.

The little girl, being tickled pink by a tall, chubby woman, didn’t even look up.

Sophia kept her profile, cool as a cucumber, all the while.

After strolling past the little girl’s table, she stopped by another one near the window. Still on her phone, she looked around, her eyes scanning the room with a puzzled look, as if she were searching for someone.

But it seemed like a no–go. When the waiter came over with a menu, she politely waved him off. After a quick recon outside the window at the mall, Sophia headed out the front door.

Brandon threw a glance at the munchkin still being entertained by the tall, chubby woman. The kid didn’t seem all in, just curiously and confusedly looking around,

Brandon couldn’t put his finger on why he was linking the little girl with Sophia.

Maybe it was the same ballpark age, or maybe it was the peace and quiet in her eyes that brought Sophia to mind, along with a childhood memory of Yolanda. Seeing her, it felt like something hit him in the chest, but it was so fleeting he couldn’t nail it down.

Strictly speaking, the little girl didn’t really look much like Sophia,

He didn’t know if it was his preconceived notions messing with him, like how he mistook Sophia for Yolanda at first. Seeing the little girl, he naturally thought of Sophia, thought of that child, and then on auto–pilot started looking for her.

Even though she did just happen to be there.

But she didn’t interact with the little girl at all.
