The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 369

"Nope, not Daddy." Sophia gently said as she looked down, "It's the granny we bumped into at the park last time."

Theresa's face, which had been lit up with anticipation, dimmed instantaneously, and she let out a resigned "Okay".

Sophia patted her head, "How about we wait for Dad to finish up with work?"

Theresa nodded, "Alright."

Without any prodding from Sophia, she pulled the covers back over herself and lay down again.

Sophia tucked her in before picking up her phone to answer the video call.

As soon as the call connected, Renata's warm and smiling face filled the smartphone screen, "Hey, Sophia, it's Renata," came the cheerful voice through the call.

Sophia couldn't help but smile back, responding with a friendly, "Hey, Mrs. Frost."

"Have you had dinner yet, Sophia?" Renata asked with a grin.

"Yeah, I've eaten." Sophia nodded, "What about you? Have you eaten?"

"I sure have, sure have." Renata chuckled, before she couldn't resist praising Sophia, "You know, the design for the manor you did for me, I saw it and I love it."

Sophia was caught off guard, "Did Mr. Dempsey deliver the designs to you?"

She had asked Don to pass her design drawing to Renata in a scheduled farewell email she sent before leaving.

Originally, she had planned to deliver the designs to Renata herself, but then Brandon found out about Theresa, and she wanted to leave with Theresa as soon as possible. There was no time to meet with Renata, so on the day they left, she sent a timed email to Don, both to formally apologize for the abrupt departure and to clarify the handover of work, and also to ask him to deliver her design to Renata.

She had also sent an email to apologize to Brandon.

However, those emails were set to be sent after she settled down in the new city that evening.

But since she didn't end up leaving yesterday, and was in such a bad place mentally, she hadn't thought to retract the emails.

This afternoon at the office, Don didn't mention anything about it, so she had forgotten to check if the email was sent successfully.

Now that Renata was bringing it up, Sophia suddenly remembered the scheduled email and was surprised at Don's efficiency.

He hadn't mentioned anything about it to her this afternoon.

Renata seemed a bit confused herself, "Mr. Dempsey? What Mr. Dempsey?"

Louis, sitting beside Renata, guessed Sophia had misunderstood and quickly explained with a laugh, "She's got her wires crossed again, mixing you up with Yoli. Don't take it to heart."

Sophia then remembered how Renata always confused her with Yolanda and felt a bit awkward, "It's okay. I get it."

Thinking back to the manor design Renata mentioned, she couldn't help but ask with a hint of hesitation, "Mr. Frost, what did she mean by the design for the manor just now?"

"Oh, remember I told you we were looking for a manor? We hadn't found a designer, and Yoli was working on it for us. She gave us the design today, and both Renata and I love it." Louis explained, "She heard me saying it was Yoli’s design, assumed it was you, and called you up. Sorry for bothering you."

"No problem."

Sophia's smile was still a bit awkward. She was aware that Marian was designing a manor for the elderly couple, but when Martin approached her, he had said that Louis and Renata were not satisfied with her style, which was why he thought of asking for her help. Now that she heard Marian's work had been well-received, she was happy for the couple but also felt a twinge of regret that her own design hadn't had the chance to be presented.

She had been thinking if Don hadn't seen the email, she might find a chance to deliver it to Renata personally in the next few days. She hadn't expected them to necessarily like it or use it, it was just a token of her affection.

But now that the couple had already found a design they liked, it didn't seem appropriate to offer hers.
