The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 662

Sophia played it cool as if she didn't catch the teasing in his words, clearing her throat and calmly shifting her gaze towards the kitchen: "I'll go get breakfast ready."

With that, she spun around and headed for the kitchen.

"I got this."

Brandon had barely finished speaking when he chucked the towel aside and made a beeline for the kitchen.

Sophia, seeing him take charge, smartly didn't vie for the task and kept her distance. Only after he had taken the breakfast out did she follow, carrying the utensils.

Today's breakfast was whipped up by Brandon, obviously a labor of love focusing on light and nutritious fare.

For the first time in ages, the family of three sat down together for breakfast. Coupled with the sight of dad planting a smooch on mom, Theresa was buzzing with excitement today, wolfing down her food with extra gusto, fast and furious, until Brandon and Sophia took turns to gently remind her to slow down.

Compared to Theresa's unabashed joy, Sophia was way more reserved.

She couldn't help it.

Being around Brandon just tied her up in knots, especially after their near-miss in the bathroom earlier.

Brandon had gotten used to her discomfort and didn't tease her further. After serving her some boiled sweet corn, he turned to her and asked, "What's the plan for today?"

Sophia shook her head blankly – she had no plans.

According to her original schedule, she should've been on a boat by now, getting ready to ring in the New Year with Amanda and Harvey Ferber.

Remembering Amanda, Sophia realized she hadn't touched base with her in two days.

The last time was when Amanda had dropped her a message on WhatsApp asking how she was after waking up in the hospital. Sophia had assured her she was much better and not to worry. Amanda hadn't replied since. Sophia wondered how she was doing and if she was still around the West district.

Brandon could almost guess what was on her mind by her expression.

Sophia, caught up in her daughter's pride for her dad, couldn't help but smile back at her: "Sure."

As Brandon reached for a napkin to wipe her hands, he chuckled at her exaggerated account and playfully tweaked her nose: "You make it sound like you know dad's company inside out."

"I've been there lots of times."

Theresa protested with emphasis, "I can show mommy around."

Brandon chuckled again as he pinched her nose but turned to Sophia to seek her opinion: "What about you? Feel like checking out the office or just strolling around?"

Brandon nodded, "Alright."
