The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 340

Brandon's ride was parked down in the underground garage.

The two of them hopped into the backseat together.

When the car door shut, nobody said a peep.

Silence spread through the cramped space like wildfire.

After an eternity, Brandon's frosty voice finally cut through the stillness of the car. "Don't you have anything to explain to me?"

Sophia pursed her lips tight, stewing in silence for a good long while before she murmured, "If you've got something to ask, just spit it out."

Brandon turned to her. "Back at Wye City Hospital, you threw me a curveball, made me think you'd terminated the pregnancy." He stated it as fact, not a question.

Sophia's lips pinched even tighter, but she gave a small nod. "Yes."

"And your dropping out, that was just another trick up your sleeve, huh?"

"Yes," Sophia pursed her lips. "If you wouldn't back off, I had no choice but to drop out."

"The first time I bumped into Theresa in Wye City, you got wind of my suspicions about her identity, so you cooked up a scheme with a random Joe to play Theresa's mom."

Sophia shifted her gaze slightly away. "Yes."

Brandon continued, "Later, when I wanted to swing by your place, you guessed I still had doubts, so you led me on a wild goose chase to a fake address."

"Yes." Sophia's voice was soft. "That was my office. Theresa lived upstairs."

"That time in June when you were hospitalized, the 'termination of pregnancy' discharge summary in your bag, you dangled that in front of me on purpose."

Sophia's upper teeth were now biting down hard on her lower lip, her head turned slightly towards the window, yet she nodded lightly. "Yes."

"The night you added me out of the blue, it was to send me that report because you knew I'd been snooping around, asking your classmates about you."

"Yes."
