The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 636

She spoke softly again, not out of curiosity, but because she was somewhat at a loss on how to deal with this dude claiming to be her husband.

Brandon nodded, cutting straight to the chase with a quick rundown: "Your name's Sophia, a top-notch architect. You designed the Zenitha-style resort project that's going up in Zion City. I'm Brandon, currently running the show at Starlight Group. We've been hitched for years and have a two-year-old daughter. You got hurt saving someone at the construction site of the Zenitha-style resort while on a business trip in Zion City, and the Ferber family fished you out of the river."

There was a slight hitch when he got to the "married for years" part - it was a can of worms that could lead to the fact they were actually divorced.

Brandon subconsciously didn't really want to touch that chapter of their history. But clearly, Sophia was puzzled about this as well.

"Married for so many years, then why is it still..." She wanted to ask why there wasn't the usual warmth and dependency between them that married couples have, but, not wanting to hit a nerve, she switched to a more tactful approach, "So... how did we meet?"

After asking, she gave an embarrassed chuckle, "I can't help feeling like we're from different worlds or something."

The day she saw him at school, he was the center of attention, surrounded by President Poe and a bunch of other bigwigs, shining bright like a diamond.

Same scene at school today.

Whether he was being escorted by the school's top brass or standing on stage, the guy seemed untouchable and dazzling.

For some reason, Sophia always felt like she and Brandon were worlds apart. Every time she saw him, he seemed like someone to admire from afar, not someone who would cross paths with her in real life.

And judging from their brief WhatsApp chats, Brandon seemed like a tough nut to crack.

She couldn't picture what being married to him for years would even look like.
