The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 661

Brandon's frustration was as clear as day when he furrowed his brows as Sophia, distracted, quickly dodged to the side, her hands pushing him away just as he was about to plant a deeper kiss.

He turned to look at her.

Sophia, stiff as a board, craned her neck toward Theresa.

Brandon followed her gaze with a knit brow and immediately spotted Theresa, clutching a teddy bear and looking up at them both with wide-eyed curiosity.

Brandon: "..."

Reacting in a flash, he snatched a towel from nearby and draped it over himself, stepping forward to shield Sophia with his body. After a deep breath to steady himself, he faced Theresa and asked, "Theresa, when did you wake up?"

"Just now."

Theresa's reply was sweet and obedient, her eyes still hungrily taking in the sight of Sophia hidden behind Brandon. She turned to him with a puzzled look and asked, "What are Mommy and Daddy doing?"

"Daddy was just..."

For the first time, Brandon found himself at a loss for words.

Sophia's face was already so hot she felt like she could fry an egg on it. She was

a mix of annoyed and embarrassed, having almost been caught in the act by a kid, no less.

She quickly adjusted her appearance, using Brandon as cover.

Theresa, not having received an answer yet, furrowed her delicate brows in confusion, "Hmm?"

Curiosity was getting the better of her as she inched forward, trying to get a better look at what Sophia was up to.

Brandon crouched down, steadying her with a hand on her shoulder, "Daddy was kissing Mommy."

Sophia: "..."
