The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 663

After dinner, Brandon drove Sophia and Theresa to the company.

Theresa was buzzing with excitement the whole way.

She had come to terms with Sophia's amnesia and, like a little grown-up, enthusiastically and patiently pointed out the street scenes to Sophia, playing the role of a diligent mini tour guide.

Her excitement turned into shrieks as the Starlight building slowly came into view.

"Mommy, look, look, that's Daddy's company!" she exclaimed, not forgetting to kneel up and press her face against the car window, her hand pointing fiercely at the still-distant Starlight building, as if worried Sophia might miss it.

Her surprised and proud expression even made Brandon, who was driving, sneak a peek at her.

She had already happily pulled Sophia's hand over and was leaning against the window, pointing at the Starlight building not far away, urging her to look.

Sophia followed her gaze to the building, which indeed looked grand and imposing.

"The whole building belongs to Daddy," Theresa said with pride and diligence as she introduced it to Sophia.

Sophia chuckled in response, "Is that so? Then Theresa's daddy is pretty awesome."

Brandon glanced at her but said nothing.

Instead, Theresa furrowed her brows in confusion, sensing something was off but unable to put her finger on it.

It was from Theresa's reaction that Sophia realized she had unconsciously referred to Brandon as "Theresa's daddy," which sounded a bit odd, and that must have triggered Theresa's puzzled response.

But to correct herself and just say "Daddy is so awesome" felt strangely intimate, and she wasn't quite comfortable blurting that out.

She didn't want Theresa to dwell on this confusion, so she smoothly changed the subject: "Do you often come to Daddy's company, Theresa?"

Sure enough, Theresa's attention was diverted as she nodded proudly, "Yeah, whenever Daddy has time, he brings me here to play."
