The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 408

Aaron looked like he was in a real pickle.

These were things they could hash out among family, but spilling the beans to Brandon was a no-go.

He feared that if he let the cat out of the bag, and Brandon took it to heart, with Sophia's fiery nature, their relationship might hit the skids.

With the lovebirds currently in a good place, Aaron didn't want to rock the boat.

He wanted to keep being Brandon's brother-in-law.

"Is there a problem?"

Brandon asked coolly, giving him the eye.

"Not exactly."

Aaron still looked troubled, "It's just I got to thinking about how Sophia doesn't cherish her marriage with you, isn't grateful, and I just lost my cool, that's all."

Aaron's voice trailed off.

"Alright, if you're not willing to spill, then off you go to the police station to stew over your actions," Sophia said, then turned on her heel to leave.

Aaron reached out instinctively to stop Sophia.

"Hold up, can't I just apologize and make it right?"

Aaron said as he slapped himself hard on both cheeks, cursing himself while he did it, "It's my own damn fault for being impulsive. This is the worst time for me to be cooling my heels in a cell. The Frost Group's resort bidding is happening in a couple of days, and I've got to be there in person."

"Aren't you out of the running for the bid?" Sophia looked back at him, "What's it got to do with you?"

"I'm in the game now," Aaron explained hastily, "Ms. Frost invited me for a meal today. She sees potential in me and my company, so she's considering adding us to the bidding list. She's the lead designer of the project and the apple of the Frost family's eye. With her backing, there's no way I can lose."

"Ms. Frost?" Sophia frowned at him, "How did you even meet her? And why would she be interested in your so-called company?"
