The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 341

Sophia had to tilt her head back to look at him, her eyes rimming red, not saying a word, just silently enduring his rage.

"Speak up!" Brandon's long fingers tightened on her chin, his eyes blazing, "From the get-go, you never planned on letting me know about our daughter. You had no intention of including me in your lives."

Sophia bit her lower lip, staying silent.
