The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 669

Sophia glanced at the hand's owner without thinking.

It belonged to an old man with a somewhat gaunt and frail face.

Daniel, with his attention fully on Theresa, who'd almost caused a ruckus, hadn't noticed Sophia.

He'd just picked up his plate to get some grub when, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the little tyke who'd darted behind him, and her clueless attempt to yank a plate from the bottom of the stack. Almost instantly, as Theresa's hand reached for the plate, he pressed down on the teetering stack and, frowning, bent down to scold her:

"Why are you still such a bull in a china shop? Don't you know that stuff could fall and hit you?"

Theresa, who had a bit of a mental block about Daniel, darted behind Sophia's legs at the sound of his voice.

Sophia quickly reached out to shield her, and couldn't help but say in a gentle tone, "She's just a kid. If she's done something wrong, you can reason with her. She'll understand."

Daniel's hand, which had been pressing down on the plate, froze in disbelief. He looked up following her voice and his expression jolted again when he saw Sophia's face. His eyes widened, staring at her in disbelief.

Hannah had just walked into the cafeteria and spotted Sophia protecting Theresa and a stunned Daniel, which made her also pause in her tracks.
