The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 338

"Hey, are you gonna hang with us?" Theresa asked Brandon with a surprised delight as he approached.

Brandon didn't say a word, just squatted down in front of her, gently stroked her hair, and quietly stared at her, his throat feeling choked up.

Theresa, picking up on his mood, hesitated before calling out, "Sir?"

Without speaking, Brandon suddenly leaned in and hugged her tiny frame tightly.

Sophia's nose tingled with the threat of tears, which she barely managed to hold back.

Turning her head slightly, she tilted her face up, fighting back the tears that filled her eyes.

She hadn't imagined they would reunite under such circumstances.

Held tight in the embrace, Theresa was a bit stunned and stood still without fussing, her eyes swirling with confusion as she looked towards Sophia.

When Sophia saw the confusion in Theresa's eyes, her throat tightened even more, leaving her unable to speak.

Without an answer, Theresa turned her attention to Brandon and asked softly, "Sir, what's wrong?"

"I..." Brandon's voice faltered at the word but he gently let her go, flashing her a smile, "I'm fine."

Theresa couldn't help but smile back at him, then excitedly pulled Sophia closer and introduced her with pride and formality, "Handsome Unkie, this is my mom."

Brandon looked up at Sophia without a word.

Sophia also cast her eyes downwards, remaining silent.

Theresa, not quite understanding, called out again, "Handsome Unkie?"

Brandon flashed her a smile and said, "Your mom is very beautiful."

Proudly nodding, Theresa replied, "Yeah, my mom is the prettiest mom ever."

Brandon just smiled at her, not responding further.

Theresa's curiosity returned to why he was at the airport, and she asked, "Sir, are you gonna join us for the fun?"

"Where are you headed to have fun?" Brandon asked softly.

Theresa shook her head a bit cluelessly, "To a fun place. We gotta take a big airplane."

She gestured towards the large airplanes outside the window as she spoke.
