The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 262

Chapter 262

Sophia was on the phone, her face a picture of serenity, still dressed in her work attire, obviously having come straight from the office.

Totally engrossed in her call, she didn't notice the private room on her side, calmly following the hostess through the dining area.

Don glanced behind her and didn't spot anyone else.

He couldn't help but frown in confusion, puzzled why Sophia, who'd mentioned fixing some appliances earlier, was here flying solo.

The hostess had already escorted Sophia to her table.

She turned to thank the hostess and took a seat, which happened to face the entrance to their private room.

Don couldn't help but look over at Brandon.

Brandon was also on a call, fully focused and composed, oblivious to the outside world.

Hannah noticed Don's hesitation as he glanced at Brandon, and gave him a curious look, not getting his vibe.

Don chuckled, not wanting to spill the beans, and casually asked her.

"So, Cornelia told me you're not keen on tying the knot. Why's that? You're quite the catch, must have a bunch of folks lining up for you."

Cornelia, a mutual friend and a networking whiz with a wide circle, had a good rapport with Don-just friends, the kind you make sure to grab a meal with when you're back in town.

It was actually Cornelia who had set this up.

She and Hannah were childhood besties from the same block, thick as thieves, and Cornelia knew Hannah and her family inside out.

But even though she was tight with Hannah, Don was more of a stranger, only having met her once at a dinner organized by Cornelia, leaving a decent impression.
