The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 672

Brandon just shook his head with a chuckle, "Man, that's a long story."

Looking at Sophia, he said, "I'll fill you in sometime later, okay? Let's just drop it for now. You don't need to worry your pretty little head about it, alright?"

His voice was low and soft, carrying a hint of a plea.

Sophia couldn't say no, plus she wasn't the nosy type. If he didn't want her to dig, she wasn't going to. So she gave a gentle nod, "Mhm, sure."

Her sweet and compliant reaction brought a smile to Brandon's face, and his gaze softened even more as he looked at her. It was that tender look that seemed to see through her, as if he was looking at someone else from the past.

This look puzzled Sophia a bit, but she didn't press for answers.

Daniel and Hannah also noticed Brandon's look, that kind of gaze that seemed to look at the person before him yet through them at someone else. It made them both frown in unison, but they didn't step in to interrupt.

After the meal, the moment Daniel got back to his office, he called his assistant Manney over.

"Go check out the name of the girl who's been hanging around Brandon, where she's from," he instructed with a serious demeanor.

Manney had also been in the cafeteria with Daniel and had seen Sophia, so he nodded in agreement to Daniel's request without hesitation.

"Alright, I'm on it."

Getting the scoop on Sophia wasn't a tough nut to crack these days.

Just a few days back, in the search for Sophia, Brandon had Kent hire a PI firm to dig into Harvey Ferber and Sophia's whereabouts. The detective agency had already sussed out their details.
