The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 243

Sophia had no clue why Brandon was thanking her, but she still flashed him a smile and said, "No biggie."

Brandon chuckled and didn't say more.

After dinner, Brandon went to freshen up, and Sophia cleaned up the dining table.

Turning around, she realized that the bathroom had frosted glass. Although it didn't reveal everything, the silhouette was cast clearly on the glass, making it pretty obvious what someone was doing inside.

Sophia felt super awkward and couldn't bring herself to peek at the bathroom glass again.

When Brandon emerged from the shower, Sophia avoided looking at him, just bending down to tidy up the bed and whispering a suggestion.

"Maybe I should ask the front desk to send over a couple more blankets. You're pretty tall, you take the bed."

Brandon glanced at the spacious bed, "You sleep on it."

He then grabbed his phone and called the front desk, "Hello, could you send up two quilts and some sheets?"

Soon after, the bedding was delivered.

The room had a thick carpet on the floor, which was also very clean. Brandon had the front desk send over a moisture-proof mat, laid it on the carpet, and then added the sheets and quilts to make a makeshift bed on the floor.

Sophia felt a bit guilty seeing such a big guy like Brandon squeezed into the tiny bed on the floor.

"You go ahead and take the bed. I've always kind of liked sleeping on the floor," she told Brandon, and she wasn't completely lying.

During her student days, she mostly lived in a rented place in West district with her family.

Money was tight, so they couldn't afford much. A two-bedroom apartment was as good as it got.

Laura and Haley needed one room, Aaron Yearwood needed another, and there was no spare room for her, so they set up a little bed for her in the living room, separated by curtains.

It wasn't a real bed, just some planks put together with some bedding on top, pretty much like the bed on the floor now; she was used to sleep on it. But Brandon turned her down.

"No need." He turned to look at her, "Get some sleep. I'm turning off the lights."

With that, he switched off the lights and the room plunged into darkness.

Brandon slipped under the blanket and settled in comfortably. Sophia, however, couldn't bring herself to sleep on the bed. She stood still, hesitantly looking at Brandon on the floor.

His tall frame, just curling up on the floor, seemed a bit cramped.

Brandon looked back at her, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Sophia just shook her head. After a while, she spoke softly, "Maybe you should sleep on the bed too. It's too damp with this weather, not good for your health."

Brandon looked at her, "Sophia, do you realize what you're saying?"

Sophia hesitated, and then nodded lightly.

"Or I can sleep on the floor. I'm used to it," she whispered.

"Not gonna happen," Brandon said, getting up and tossing his quilt on the bed.
