The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 210

The next day, Theresa was back on her feet after a full night's sleep, having completely kicked jet lag to the curb.

She popped out of bed first thing in the morning, her long hair a tousled mess, and pressed her nose against the window, peering out with bright-eyed curiosity.

Susan had just finished washing up and was applying her skincare products when she saw Theresa's excited face. She couldn't help but tease, "So, Theresa, where do you wanna hit up today?"

It was Theresa's first trip back to her home country, and everything outside - the buildings and faces - was different from what she was used to abroad.

Not sure where to go and scratching her head, Theresa noticed a children's playground near the entrance of a shopping mall and pointed, saying, "Over there."

Sophia, who had just brought in breakfast, followed Theresa's pointed finger to look out the window and saw it was a mall named "the Starry Group."

Hanging from the mall was a banner that faintly showed an indoor children's playground.

She patted Theresa's little head and suggested, "How about we eat breakfast first and then head over?"

"Okay."

Theresa nodded obediently, slid away from the window, slipped on her slippers, and made her way to the bathroom.

Sophia squeezed some toothpaste onto her child-sized toothbrush, and Theresa took it and started brushing her teeth on her own. Her technique wasn't perfect, but she was getting the hang of it.

Ever since Theresa started walking, Sophia had consciously encouraged her independence, having her take part in her own life, like carrying her own milk bottle and diapers when they went out.

Kent had booked a flight back to West district for 1 PM.

Before leaving, Brandon squeezed in some time to check on the operations at the Starlight Hotel. It was nearly 11 AM by the time he wrapped up, which left just enough time to dash to the airport.

"Get HR to issue a personnel change notice. Promote Quintin as the Head of Starlight Hotel's branch here," Brandon instructed Kent as they left the hotel room, his right hand dragging a suitcase.
