The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 589

Brandon frowned slightly and instinctively looked back in the direction of Harvey Ferber.

Harvey Ferber had wandered off with Kent, leaving only a tall and indifferent silhouette behind.

"What's with the weird vibe?" Brandon asked Theresa in a hushed tone.

Theresa shook her head blankly: "I don't know."

"Weird" was about the only adjective her little mind could muster up.

Brandon gave her a reassuring smile: "No worries."

He tried to probe a bit more: "Does the way uncle looked at you make you feel uncomfortable?"

Theresa shook her head again: "No."

Brandon: "Does it scare you?"

Still shaking her head, Theresa replied: "No."

So it wasn't a look that would unsettle or frighten a kid.

Brandon's heart settled a bit, and he softly consoled her: "Maybe uncle's seeing you for the first time, so he's just a bit curious, that's all."

"Oh."

Theresa nodded, not quite understanding, as Brandon carried her out of the mall. The doors opened to fewer people outside than in, so she wriggled to be let down to walk by herself.

Brandon bent down to set her down, straightening her clothes as he spoke: "Stay with godmom for a sec, daddy's gonna fetch the car."
