The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 382

So back then, he and Laura couldn't help but worry about Sophia's marriage to Brandon not lasting long. They hinted and nudged Sophia countless times, telling her that snagging Brandon was like winning the lottery, the kind of luck she'd accumulate over many previous lifetimes. They told her to become humble a bit, not to be as stubborn as she was back at home, to soften up and play along with Brandon more often.

With Brandon's family background and his catch of the day looks, there were loads of women lined up wanting to tie the knot with him.

Being a guy himself, Aaron could sort of get why Brandon was kind of cold- hearted when it came to romance.

With a silver spoon background, movie star looks, and running a huge corporation, Brandon could have any woman he wanted at the snap of his fingers. Why would he bother with the nitty-gritty of a woman's whims, let alone bend over backward to accommodate them?

But what they didn't see coming was that despite all their warnings and brainwashing, Sophia still gave them the silent treatment and divorced Brandon without a peep. Their marriage barely made it past the two-year mark.

Although he and Laura had their reservations about the longevity of the marriage, its abrupt end caught them totally off guard and they found themselves unexpectedly out of a stellar in-law relationship.

Thinking about it, Aaron couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.

When Brandon noticed Aaron tailing him, he finally stopped in his tracks and turned around, "What's up?"

Aaron flashed an awkward smile, "Nothing much." But he couldn't help himself and asked, "What brings you here, Brandon?"

Brandon replied, "Stuff to do."

Without waiting for a response, Brandon politely nodded and then took off with long strides.

By the time Aaron thought to catch up, Brandon was already out of sight. He looked around the entrance of the scenic area but couldn't spot Brandon. Instead, he found Barbara and Betty still waiting for him.

Barbara was the first to spot him and called out, "Looking for something? We've been standing right in front of you for ages. Blind or what?"

Aaron, not in the mood for her attitude, just frowned and mumbled to himself, "Where did he dash off to in the blink of an eye?"
