The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 379

Chapter 378

"I gotta stick with Theresa." Sophia whispered, "How about you crash at Mr.

Dempsey's place tonight, and since tomorrow's the weekend, there's no rush to hit the job."

"I'm picky with my beds."

Didn't he sleep like a log in that tiny second bedroom of hers?

Brandon's gaze had already shifted to Theresa, who was being held by Sophia, "Theresa, why don't you catch some Z's at home with Grace, and let mom swing by to fetch dad, sound good?"

Theresa nodded, "Okay."

Brandon looked at Sophia, "I'll send the driver to pick you up, come over."

Sophia hesitated, "Can't the driver just bring you back? No need to run him ragged."

Brandon replied, "He gets overtime pay; he's happy to make the extra cash."

"Brandon." Sophia called him softly, "What's up with you tonight?"

Brandon fell silent as he looked at her. He didn't speak, and just let his eyes rest steadily on her. His gaze was deep and profound, like an abyss that had no bottom.

"Sophia." After a while, he finally spoke, his voice already hoarse, "I wanna see you."

Sophia looked at him in surprise.

She was not just surprised that he told her straightforwardly that he wanted to see her. They hadn't been apart for a long time, nor were they living in different places.

They were living together, had gotten up together that morning, and taken the kid to the company together; they hadn't even been apart for 24 hours.

He wouldn't come home, but suddenly told her he wanted to see her.

"Something happen?" Sophia asked softly.

"Nothing." Brandon calmly dismissed the possibility, but his eyes looking at her had an almost stubborn intensity, "I'm at Don's place waiting for you. The driver will be there in about twenty minutes; he'll contact you when he arrives."

After saying that, Brandon hung up the phone and carelessly tossed his mobile onto the couch. He then sat down heavily on the sofa.
