The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 652

Susan's packing hands froze.

She was kinda on the fence about this question.

Back in the day, she would've spilled the beans to Sophia without batting an eyelash, telling her straight up that her and Brandon were on the rocks. Brandon wasn't into her, their marriage was just a shotgun wedding, and life after tying the knot was anything but a bed of roses. They were always just going through the motions, plus there were this pair of in-laws who loved to stir the pot. She and Brandon had called it quits years ago.

But these past few months, watching Brandon practically dying inside without Sophia, she suddenly wasn't sure if spilling the truth was the way to go.

Sophia had lost all her memories, which, if you think about it, could be a blessing in disguise for her and Brandon.

No need to drag around the baggage of painful memories, it might just be the fresh start Sophia and Brandon needed.

Sophia picked up on Susan's hesitation.

"Not so great, huh?" she asked, her voice tinged with anxiety.

Susan's hemming and hawing pretty much said it all.

Sophia wasn't shocked, though. If a couple was really tight, how could they still be so awkward with a kid that big?

"It's not that it was bad," Susan tried to explain, "it's just..."

She kinda didn't know how to put it.

Their marriage was just not like the ones you see every day.

To say it was bad, well, they always got along without a hitch – no fights, not even

a hint of a red face, even the divorce was all amicable and dignified. They never badmouthed each other, always considering the other's feelings.

To say it was good, well, they also didn't have that mushy, lovey-dovey thing that most couples do.
