The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 671

Sophia could definitely tell that Brandon was giving Daniel the side-eye, something distinctly different from the way he treated everyone else. She couldn't help but shoot a worried glance his way.

Brandon caught her eye and gave her shoulder a nudge with the elbow that was cradling his plate.

"Let's bounce," he said.

"Okay," Sophia nodded, keeping her questions to herself and obediently followed him.

"Brandon," Daniel piped up, his voice tinged with hesitation and a hint of sucking up, totally missing his usual swagger.

The way Daniel unintentionally let slip that whiff of desperation in his voice made Sophia do a double-take.

Daniel was giving Brandon the puppy-dog eyes, looking like he was bursting to say something but holding back, kind of pitiful to watch.

Sophia couldn't resist glancing at Brandon, but he was unbothered, not even sparing a glance back at Daniel, just gently steering her and Theresa forward.

Hannah, who had been eyeballing the scene from a short distance, scrunched up her forehead in confusion but didn't come over to say hi. Instead, she just grabbed her plate.

It wasn't until Sophia and Brandon sat down in a corner that she looked up at him and whispered, "Who was that guy, anyway?"

Brandon paused mid-motion with the utensils, then turned to her and asked, "He didn't say anything out of line to you, did he?"

Sophia shook her head, "Nope."

"He was pretty polite," she added, "Seemed like a decent guy."

"How do you feel about him?" Brandon prodded.

That question threw her for a loop, and she mulled it over for a second.

"I guess... I'm not too keen on hanging out with him," she confessed.

"Then don't," Brandon shrugged. "He's not worth your time."
