The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 617

"Are you blind or something? There's plenty of room to move over..."

The man's grumbling voice cut through the air but stopped abruptly mid- complaint.

Sophia just happened to look up, catching the man staring at her with a mix of shock and confusion.

This wasn't the same kind of surprised and unsure look that the guy who called himself "Ivan" had that day. Ivan was a cocktail of delight and doubt. But this dude was looking at her like he'd seen a ghost, with a layer of bewilderment over his shock, as if he wasn't quite sure who she was.

Sophia was kinda taken aback by his stare.

The guy was a total stranger to her too, but something about the way he was eyeing her sent chills down her spine.

She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but her hand subconsciously tightened inside her sleeve. The man didn't say anything, just kept sizing her up with those slightly creepy callous eyes, his gaze murky and mixed with a touch of confusion, as if he couldn't fathom why she was there.

His look only deepened Sophia's puzzlement, but she wisely kept her mouth shut, not wanting to spill the beans about her amnesia.
