The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 321

In the end, Brandon didn't actually drag her into that house.

Instead, he took her to the apartment where he was living. The whole ride there, neither of them uttered a word. Sophia's emotions gradually settled, and she numbly leaned against the car window, silent as a mouse.

When they got home, Brandon finally broke the silence with the first words of the trip, "Go rest up a bit."

With that, he headed into the kitchen.

Sophia didn't respond, just plopped herself down on the couch.

The emotional roller coaster she had been on all day had her worn out to the bone.

She ended up dozing off on the couch, half in a daze.

When Brandon finished cooking and came out, she was still asleep.

He glanced at her with an unreadable face, turned to leave, then hesitated.

He stood there in silence for a good while, then finally, he turned back towards her.

His footsteps didn't wake her.

Sophia was sleeping deeply, hugging a pillow, half-slumped over, with her head resting on it.
