The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 270

Chapter 270

Sophia gave him a hesitant glance, not exactly jumping at the chance to add him.

Truth be told, whether they added each other or not made no difference. She and Brandon weren't share their lives on social media. Even if they connected through WhatsApp, they wouldn't get a sneak peek into each other's lives.

WhatsApp to them was just another phone number.

But Brandon was persistent. He didn't say a word, just flipped his phone screen towards her, waiting for her move, his eyes calm but with an underlying pressure that was hard to ignore.

Sophia had no choice but to open WhatsApp, and shoot off the friend request.

Brandon quickly accepted.

Staring at the empty chat window gave Sophia a sense of surrealness.

She and Brandon had been classmates for years, once husband and wife, sharing a closeness and heat strangers could never fathom, yet now they were like two ships passing in the night, not even keeping the most basic means of contact.

Most of the time, they acted on emotions but stopped at the boundaries of propriety, yet occasionally it was all reckless craziness and loss of control.

Brandon stared at the screen for a while before putting his phone away and looking at her. "I should head back now. You should get some rest."

Sophia nodded, "Yeah, take care on your way home."

She watched Brandon step into the elevator before closing the door, leaning against it with a heart full of mixed emotions, a real emotional cocktail.

Just then, her phone in her palm buzzed.

She picked it up-it was a message from Susan.

Probably Theresa, worried since she hadn't come home yet.

Sophia had called Theresa earlier during dinner with Ivan, telling her to hit the sack early and not wait up.

But the little girl must have grown impatient, seeing her mom hadn't returned. Sophia answered the call.

Theresa's chubby little face popped up on the screen.

"Mommy!"

She shouted excitedly at first, then asked in confusion, "Mommy, why haven't you come home?"
