The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 679

"Go for it."

Brandon said, hitting the pause button on the hairdryer and turning to her, "Anything of mine you want to check out or use, just go ahead. No need to ask me. We don't have to stand on ceremony with each other."

He'd said something similar to her before, but she just didn't remember.

As before, Sophia's response was simply a polite nod: "Okay."

But just like that time, she still didn't cross that invisible line between them.

Maybe because she was missing the memories from those two years of marriage, she seemed a bit more relaxed this time. Pointing towards the computer, she asked, "I'm going to use it then. Your computer doesn't have any private files, does it?"

She was afraid of stumbling onto something she shouldn't.

Brandon's eyes twinkled with amusement: "I have no secrets from you."

"I meant about your work."

Sophia clarified awkwardly, "I wouldn't want to accidentally come across any trade secrets."

Brandon: "No worries, even if you sold me out, I'd take it lying down."

Sophia: "..."

"I'd have to settle the score if you really sold me out, though."

It took her a while before she couldn't help but mutter that.

Brandon seemed to seriously ponder her words for a moment before nodding: "If you really sold me out, I'd probably be heartbroken. Who knows what I might end up doing, so consider my feelings, will you?"

"There you go, no sooner had you said you'd take it lying down than you

contradict yourself."

Sophia, as if she had caught him out, sped up her speech a bit.

Brandon's eyes gleamed even more with humor: "Well, if I'm willing to take it lying down, don't get greedy, alright?"

"If you're already taking it lying down, why worry about whether I'm pushing my luck or not? You've already thrown your principles out the window."
