The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 653

Sophia just happened to look up at Brandon when, out of the blue, his gaze caught hers and locked it in. The depth in his eyes made her feel a bit awkward.

Especially since she had just been an earful of Susan's overly explicit trip down memory lane about her and Brandon's not-so-PG-rated past. It was almost as if Susan's words painted a vivid picture in Sophia's mind of the hot and heavy times she and Brandon had rolled around together, and the moment Brandon looked her way, the embarrassment hit her like a tidal wave, her cheeks flaming up.

When Brandon noticed her blushing, he couldn't help but frown, "What's up? Why's your face all red?"

While he was talking, he had already moved past Susan and was heading her way.

"No... It's nothing." Sophia, her symptoms pointed out, was even more afraid to look Brandon in the eye, her words getting a bit jumbled, "It's just a bit stuffy in here..."

Susan glanced back at her with a smirk that was clearly teasing.

Brandon also gave her a thoughtful look.

Pretending not to notice, Sophia straightened her back a bit, lifted her chin, and looked straight at Brandon, asking him, "What brings you up here?"

"Just checking on you guys since you've been gone for a while."

Brandon said, not prying any further, but noticing her hair was a bit disheveled, he naturally reached out to smooth the strands away from her forehead.

At the touch of his fingertips, Sophia couldn't help but stiffen up, holding her breath and staying still, not daring to accidentally brush against his hand.

Susan couldn't help but tease Brandon, "Wow, you're worried after such a short time? And with all this running up and down the stairs, you think I'd kidnap Sophia or something?"

Unexpectedly, Brandon nodded frankly, "Yeah, I am."

"..." Susan was left speechless.

Brandon had already turned his attention back to Sophia and, after carefully fixing

her hair, he softly asked her, "Ready to go back down?"

Sophia instinctively looked at Susan first, seeking her opinion.
