The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 345

Brandon gently tapped her forehead with his, "Yeah, daddy's here too."

Theresa whispered even more softly, "Can I go first, just to check it out, see if it's pretty?"

"How about we go check it out after you wake up from your nap?" Brandon coaxed in a soft voice.

Theresa nodded right away, "Okay."

Brandon smiled, tapped her forehead again gently, and carried her through the door into the master bedroom.

This was Brandon's first time stepping into it.

The master bedroom had a completely different vibe compared to the one he had shared with Sophia in their previous marriage.

Brandon wasn't sure if Sophia had deliberately changed the style to avoid any old memories, or if it was simply because the house was rented and she hadn't bothered to make any changes.

He remembered that she wasn't particularly fond of this kind of warm, creamy color scheme before.

Sophia noticed him sizing up the master bedroom but didn't say anything; just silently went about making the bed for Theresa.

Brandon laid Theresa down on the daybed. Though she was sleepy, the excitement still lingered, and as soon as she hit the bed, she couldn't help but start assigning sleeping spots.

"Daddy, you'll sleep here," she said, pointing to the outermost side of the bed for Brandon, and then pointed to the middle, "Mommy sleeps here."

And pointing to the innermost side, "I sleep here. Mommy holds me, you hold Mommy, like nesting dolls, from small to big."

Brandon chuckled and stroked her hair, "Okay."

"Can we go to sleep now?" he suggested.

Theresa obediently nodded, closed her eyes, and quickly drifted off to sleep.
