The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 95

Sophia gave him a puzzled look.

Brandon looked back at her, “Let’s grab a bite together. I haven’t eaten either.”

Sophia let out an awkward chuckle, “Might be a bit awkward, right? You don’t even know my friend.”

Brandon shrugged it off, “No worries, I won’t sit with you guys”

Sophia hesitated for a moment, “Alright, then.”

I As they left, she hesitated and walked a short distance before turning back to Brandon, “How about I just go with you instead? I’ll catch up with my friend some other time.”

“No need,” Brandon looked at her, “That wouldn’t be fair to you or your friend.”

“It’s cool, she won’t mind,” Sophia said, already turning towards him, “What do you feel like eating? It’s on me.

Brandon didn’t respond immediately, just tilted his head to look at her and slowly said, “Sophia, did you really have dinner plans with someone?”

Sophia fell silent.

Brandon’s gaze had already shifted to the phone she was clutching in her hand. “Mind if I take a peek at your call and chat history?”

Sophia instinctively tightened her grip on her phone, struggling to keep smiling. That’s not really cool, you know.”

But she still turned the phone screen towards him. It showed her latest WhatsApp conversation with Sylvia, with the most recent message from Sylvia saying, [Wait for me, I’ll be right there.]

Brandon took a look and then at her, “Sorry.”

“It’s okay.” Sophia smiled, then looked hesitantly behind him, “So just go have dinner with my friend.”

Brandon nodded, “Go ahead.”

But Brandon’s idea of making himself scarce didn’t involve leaving: he followed her into another mall and into another restaurant.

He didn’t get too close, just maintained a short distance, trailing her at just the right gap.

When Sophia arrived at the restaurant, Sylvia was also fashionably late, hurrying in with breathless apologies, “Sorry, Sophia, did you wait long? Got held up at work and left late.”

The name “Sophia” made Brandon glance at Sylvia. He recognized her, the girl who had stopped Don at Don’s
