The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 487

Daniel was lining up behind Sophia in the cafeteria to get his meal, which made Sophia think he was a bit weird today.

Normally, Daniel was the kind of guy who cared about his status and keeping up appearances, so hitting up the cafeteria was a rare sight for him.

Even on the odd occasion when he'd pop in for a change of pace, he'd have his assistant prep his meal and dodge the lunch rush.

For him to drop his bigwig CEO of Starlight Group act and stand in line at the cafeteria was totally unprecedented.

Marian was equally baffled. It was clear as day that Daniel decided to follow Sophia to the cafeteria on a whim after spotting her.

And usually, if Marian was around, he'd be all eyes on her. But today, Daniel was undeniably fixated on Sophia.

Even while chatting with Marian, he'd sneak peeks at Sophia, obviously keeping tabs on her every move.

Marian couldn't figure out what was going on, yet, this shift made her uneasy.

Daniel used to dote on her because she was Yolanda, and now she still was Yolanda, plus she'd saved his life. Logically, he should be even more grateful and attentive to her.

Feeling jittery, Marian couldn't help but also start sizing up Daniel discreetly.

Sophia didn't look back at the two, but their intense stares were so palpable that she couldn't help but wonder if they had a screw loose.

When it came time to dish up, Sophia, Daniel and Marian took their turns with the trays. Sophia was first in line, but Daniel, being used to calling the shots and doing his own thing, didn't care for the concept of first-come-first-served and went ahead and ordered a bunch of dishes.
