The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 675

Chapter 675

Brandon's eyes slowly crinkled with a hint of a smile.

He didn't say anything further, just reached out and gently patted her head.

Sophia managed a tight-lipped smile too, not saying anything else, but inside, she felt a bit lost, grappling with a weight that felt too much to bear.

Theresa noticed Sophia and Brandon hadn't made a move for a while, so she dropped the sand she was playing with, looking at them with a puzzled twist of her head.

Brandon glanced at his watch and then at her, "Theresa, it's getting late, how about we head back, take a bath, and hit the hay?"

Theresa cast a longing glance at the half-bucket of sand she had collected, hesitated for a moment, but nodded, "Okay."

She efficiently dumped the sand out of the bucket and stood up.

Sophia and Brandon went over to help her tidy up, and then they all walked home together.

As they were nearing their complex, Sophia's phone rang.

She glanced down, it was Amanda calling.

Sophia's hand hesitated on her phone before she answered.

"Hey, godmom."

Brandon slowed his pace, watching Sophia calmly take the call under the streetlight.

Sophia's grip tightened on the phone, her attention fully on the voice at the other end.

Amanda sounded a bit down, "Sophia, you haven't called me in days."

"Sorry, godmom."

Sophia felt a twinge of guilt, "I've been trying to process some stuff from the past few days, haven't got my head straight, not sure what to say on the phone, so I've been putting it off, sorry."

Before she knew she was a man's wife and a child's mother, she had promised Amanda to spend the New Year with her, but with the current situation, there was no way she could leave Theresa and Brandon to go back with Amanda.

This decision must be a letdown and hard on Amanda.

She had been digesting the fact that she was Sophia these past few days; so much to process that aside from sending a WhatsApp to Amanda the day she woke up to reassure her that she was okay, she really hadn't had the chance to comfort Amanda.

To her apology, Amanda just forced a smile, "It's okay."
