The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 205

Chapter 205

"What's with him?"

Tia asked Kent, a bit on edge, clueless about why Brandon suddenly got all moody.

Kent was just as baffled.

Ever since Brandon agreed to add her on WhatsApp, something felt off.

Brandon never just randomly adds people on WhatsApp, especially not women.

And Kent hadn't picked up on any vibes that Brandon was into Tia.

"Maybe he spaced out."

Kent chuckled awkwardly, pulling an excuse out of thin air that even he found hard to swallow, then bid Tia goodbye without waiting to see if she was still puzzled and quickly caught up with Brandon.

By the time Kent got to the parking lot, Brandon was nowhere to be seen.

Kent whipped out his phone and called Brandon. "Mr. Crawley, where did you take off to?"

"Just grab a cab back."

The voice on the other end was indifferent, and before Kent could respond, the call was cut off.

Kent frowned at his phone; the brief call had been filled with the sound of rushing wind-Brandon was clearly driving, and fast.

Brandon only drove like a bat out of hell when he was in a rotten mood.

Kent wasn't sure if Brandon's foul mood had anything to do with Sophia.

Earlier, when Brandon'd agreed to add Tia, Kent nearly thought Brandon was ready to meet someone new and start over.

He didn't know why Brandon had backtracked.

Kent couldn't decide if he was relieved or worried as he let out a silent sigh and reluctantly hailed a cab.

Brandon was driving aimlessly, alone on the road.

The suburban streets were empty and wide.

He was flooring it, the night breeze blasting through the wide-open windows, tousling his hair.

This city, although miles away from the West district, felt like another hometown to him.
