The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 110

He originally wanted to nudge Brandon to win Sophia back, but it totally backfired.

In his eyes, Sophia was ace – from her looks and vibe to her education and temperament, everything about her was top-notch and she seemed like the perfect match for Brandon.

This matchy-matchy vibe wasn’t just about looks, but also about how well their personalities clicked.

Marriage wasn’t always about opposites attracting; sometimes the most chill and comfy vibes when two were together can be the real deal.

With Sophia, Brandon was the most chill and at ease Kent had seen him since like, forever.

Kent had no clue if Brandon would ever find that kind of peace and calm with someone else.

But hey, life’s gotta move on.

From Brandon’s reaction, Kent figured Sophia must’ve cut the cord with more resolve, and it wasn’t a given that chasing her down would bring her back – he worried that Brandon might just go off the deep end.

He didn’t dare to shoot his mouth off any further, so he just chuckled and said to Brandon, “Yeah, well, Mr. Crawley, wish you can nail the blind date scene.”

Patricia just happened to be outside the office door and paused, giving a thoughtful look inside at Brandon.

Brandon didn’t bite on Kent’s teasing and just kept his cool, going over some documents.

Kent and Don were also in the office.

Patricia had meant to come over to smooth things over with Brandon, not expecting a crowd.

Playing it cool, Patricia didn’t step forward to interrupt, but she did take to heart Kent’s comment about “wish you can nail the blind date scene,” deciding to hang back in the lounge and wait. When Kent passed by, she called out to him.

“Kent.”

Kent turned, a bit surprised, and seeing Patricia sipping coffee in the booth, he approached with a smile, “Mrs. Crawley, what brings you here?”

“I had something to discuss with Mr. Crawley, but you guys seemed tied up in a meeting, so I didn’t intrude,” Patricia explained with her usual grace. “I overheard something about Mr. Crawley going on a blind date?”

Kent chuckled awkwardly, “Just a little joke. Mr. Crawley doesn’t need blind dates.”
