The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Sophia didn’t grill Brandon about where they were headed, and Brandon wasn’t spilling the beans either. He didn’t poke around asking her where she wanted to go. He just cruised aimlessly.

The night wind was whooshing by.

The traffic on the streets was trickling down to a mere dribble.

Sophia had no clue how long Brandon had been driving. As they passed from skyscrapers to squat buildings and eventually to vast stretches of barren land, Brandon finally pulled the car to a halt.

He just sat there, not budging or uttering a word, his handsome face slightly tense, calmly staring into the night.

And Sophia? She was just chilling in the passenger seat, not moving a muscle either.

Outside the car window was a suburban riverside park, connected to a pond and wetlands, sparsely populated, where you could clearly make out the sounds of insects and frogs.

After a long silence, Sophia slowly turned her head to look at Brandon.

His profile was still a bit tight, his face so calm it was almost expressionless.

Sophia wasn’t sure if she had ticked off Brandon by passing up the opportunity or if her emotional outburst had rubbed him the wrong way. “Sorry,” she murmured an apology, not even sure why she was saying sorry. Her spirits were still in the dumps, and she was feeling all kinds of mixed-up and miserable.

She had always thought she had a decent grip on her emotions, but today’s drama and Brandon’s intense questioning about whether that kid was still around had snapped her like an overwound string-just pop and it broke.

She couldn’t figure out why she had such a strong reaction, but deep down, she was probably fuming at herself.

She was mad that she wasn’t steadfast enough, mad that she was useless, that her emotions could still be so easily swayed by Brandon, leaving her no choice but to wimp out and steer clear of him.

Every single choice in her life was her own, and while each step wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, she had given it her all.
