The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 196

Kent couldn't help but stealthily observe Brandon, unable to read anything off his poker face.

The line was inching along, and Sophia and Ivan were chatting away as they shuffled forward with the crowd.

Ivan was done first. There was soup on the side; he picked up an extra one on his way past, and then turned back to Sophia saying, "Sophia, I grabbed you some soup too."

Sophia felt the gaze on her back getting even stronger.

She turned and awkwardly thanked Ivan before holding her tray and moving towards him, "I'll take it myself."

She tried to take the soup from him, but Ivan dodged her reaching hand.
