The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 261

But he quickly got his act together.

Brandon fired up the engine.

The car started to crawl out.

Just as they were leaving the company's gates, they bumped into Sophia, who was hailing a cab.

Don felt like facepalming.

Sophia didn't notice them.

Her cab had arrived and was parked right at the entrance of the complex.

She was bending over, talking to the driver, and kind of blocking the way.

Brandon just honked the horn.

Sophia looked back instinctively, her eyes widened for a sec when she saw Brandon in the car, then silently shuffled to the side.

Brandon glanced up at her.

The setting sun bathed her in its glow, her face as serene and tranquil as ever, not a hint of sadness or turmoil.

Brandon looked away, flooring the gas pedal.

The car sped off.

Don couldn't help but peek in the rearview mirror.

Sophia had turned her back in the mirror's reflection.

He couldn't read her expression.

He shot Brandon a look.

Brandon’s handsome face remained as calm as a millpond, but there was a noticeable tension along his jawline, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened before relaxing again.

Sophia's indifference clearly affected him.

"Brandon," Don couldn't hold back, "you really love her, don't you?"

Brandon didn't respond, his expression unchanging, but he pressed on the accelerator even harder.

The whoosh of the wind rushed in through the open windows, messing up Don's hair.

Don rolled up the window, propped his elbow on it, resting his head on his hand, glanced at the bustling traffic outside, then back at Brandon. "If you're still in love."

Brandon cut him off with his usual cool. "Does it matter?"

Don fell silent.

"When she was in love, she still wanted a divorce, right?" Brandon's voice was low and even, as if discussing someone else's business.

Don was at a loss for words.

Sophia was like this, Brandon too.

"You two," Don shook his head and chuckled, "really are cut from the same cloth."

Brandon ignored him, just kept driving.

Don said no more.
