The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 600

Sophia zoned out and couldn't figure out why. She remembered that name. She had seen it before on the honor roll at West District High School, right next to the name "Sophia."

That familiar pang of nostalgia mixed with a touch of sadness washed over her again. It was a strange feeling, heartwarming yet heart-wrenching, making her nose tingle and eyes moisten without her control.

Sophia couldn't put her finger on why she felt this way. Her mind was a blank canvas, and she had no clue why this person wanted to add her. But just the sight of that name brought on an inexplicable sense of "hope you're doing well" that was both comforting and heartbreaking.

As she said this, she scooped up a spoonful of ginger soup, trying to feed it to Sophia. When the spoon reached her lips, Sophia finally snapped back to reality and took the ginger soup from her, "I got it."
