The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 258

"For him, the last thing he needs is emotional baggage. He's not being himself right now, and he's definitely gonna force himself to pull away," Don said, glancing at Sophia, "You know, between the two of you, you've always been the one who could untie the bell. Are you sure you don't wanna reconsider?"

"Sophia, even though we haven't known each other for that long, I really do want you to be happy."

"Thank you." Sophia sincerely expressed her gratitude, then looked at Don, "If I hadn't brought up divorce, we might have never split, but that's not the life I wanted. My needs and his have always been different. We're from two different worlds, so it was doomed from the start."

Don was at a loss for words for a moment.

"I asked for a divorce while I was still in love with him. I love him, but that doesn't stop my determination to leave," Sophia said softly, her gaze steady, "Some things, you don't have to possess just because you like them, and getting them doesn't guarantee happiness. Just enjoy the ride. Human nature and life are too complicated. Don't chase after outcomes. If it's not right, it's just not right."

With that, Sophia didn't say more. She nodded to Don as a goodbye, picked up the documents from the table, and walked away.

Her slender, poised silhouette soon appeared against the semi-transparent glass wall.

Don watched her calm and gentle profile, his expression complex.

He hadn't expected that convincing Sophia would be even tougher than persuading Brandon.

She lived her life transparently; loss hurt, but it didn't stop her from striding forward.

Even if Brandon really got married, she might feel pain and discomfort, but she would never interfere, nor would she wallow in self-pity.

As for Brandon, she was done – she didn't want him anymore.

Suddenly, Don kind of got Brandon's fickleness.
