The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 303

"Sorry, the number you're calling is currently busy. Please try again later."

The chilling voice of an automated customer service rep echoed from the phone.

Theresa frowned in confusion, then earnestly spoke to the voice on the other end, "Hello, I want to find Handsome Unkie."

"Sorry, The number you have dialed is busy now." The voice on the phone had now switched to an icy male tone.

Theresa was a bit lost, she didn't understand why she couldn't reach Handsome Unkie. Her grip tightened nervously around the phone as she repeated with gravity, "Hello, I want to find, Handsome Unkie."

But all she got in response was the robotic switching of male and female voices.

Theresa's anxiety was growing, and she couldn't help but bite her lip, reluctant to give up. As she opened her mouth to try again, the call was abruptly ended.

The receiver fell silent after a few "beep beep" busy tones.

Theresa took a look at her phone, which had reverted to the screensaver.

Handsome Unkie wasn't picking up her calls, and she was a tad upset, pouting at her phone in silence.

Grace was cleaning up. She turned her head and saw Theresa pouting unhappily, and asked in confusion, "What's up, Theresa? Did Handsome Unkie not pick up your call?"

Theresa nodded gloomily, "There's an auntie talking, I said I'm looking for Handsome Unkie, she didn't listen to me."

Grace didn't know what to say.

That sounded like someone else's family business.

Not knowing the full situation and not daring to let Theresa call again and possibly cause a misunderstanding, Grace suggested, "Maybe he is busy right now. Let's stop calling, okay?"

Theresa hesitated, then nodded unhappily, "Okay."

She then silently handed her phone to Grace.

Seeing her downcast, Grace patted her on the head, "Alright, let's go to bed, shall we?"

The little girl had no objections, hesitantly glanced at her phone, and took her little pillow back to her room.

Brandon was driving, ready to arrive at Sophia's place, calling Sophia.

After a brief ring, the call was picked up.

"Where are you now?" Brandon asked.

Sophia, just having stepped out of her building, was a bit perplexed by his call, "At home. What's up?"

only finished middle school, and like Susan's brother, he hung out in nightclubs all day without any real prospects, just throwing around his family's money. Susan didn't like him, and she turned down the marriage proposal. But the guy's family saw Susan as highly educated, tall, attractive, and capable at work, hoping she could help manage their business after marriage, so they kept upping the offer to Susan's family, hoping to seal the deal. Susan's parents have always favored their son over Susan, and in their view, marrying into such a family would be a stroke of luck for Susan. Her brother saw it as a chance to leech off a wealthy in-law, so the whole family kept pressuring her, even causing a scene at her company. She was scared and disappointed, so she left West district without goodbye, cutting off contact with her family for two years. Her brother had promised his girlfriend a wedding gift and a house for their wedding, but when that fell through because of Susan running off, the girlfriend thought she was being deceived and dumped him. So he's been stewing over this for ages, blaming Susan for everything. Looks like he was sitting on two years' worth of rage and just lost it when he
