The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 482

Daniel was all set to give Brandon a piece of his mind with a stern face, but the painful sounds of vomiting made him rush to the bathroom, knocking on the door with concern, "You alright in there?"

"I'm fine."

The response from inside was hoarse and depressed, lacking any zest. After answering, the sound of running water followed.

Daniel was anxious and at a loss, so he turned to Yvonne to figure out what was going on.

"It's just love troubles." Yvonne let loose, speaking freely over the noise of the water, "Didn't Sophia say she's leaving? Brandon's heartbroken."

"No way. Your brother's a grown man; he's not the type to get all lovesick," Daniel dismissed Yvonne without a second thought.

"Men need love and care too, you know?" Yvonne shot back, "Just like you and my mom. If you didn't need that mushy stuff, why did you rush to my mom after my brother's mom passed away? Couldn't you have coped on your own?"

"Your brother doesn't love her."

Yvonne gestured towards the bathroom door with her chin, "Would he be getting wasted like this if he didn't? And even during work hours."

Then, she couldn't help but voice her concern to Daniel, "Dad, it's not like my brother's going to go downhill from here and neglect the company, right? The company's not going to tank, is it?"

"What are you talking about?" Patricia couldn't help but scold her, "Don't jinx things."

"I'm just worried." Yvonne's voice dropped after the scolding, "I mean, my brother and Sophia just had a baby, and you guys are still messing around."

"He can have more kids like anyone else." Daniel interrupted her, "What's the point of having a girl anyway? What use is she?"

Yvonne bit her tongue, not quite satisfied, "Well, if my brother does fall apart because of this, don't come crying for grandkids, not even granddaughters."

"Your brother's not that fragile," Daniel was still reluctant to admit the fact.

Yvonne huffed coldly, glancing at the bathroom still filled with the sounds of retching, and fell silent. Daniel couldn't help but look worriedly at the bathroom, unable to hide his concern.

After a while, the terrifying sounds of dry heaving and water finally ceased.

Brandon opened the bathroom door and stepped out. His handsome face was still cold and downcast.

"Let's go."

With that, he walked over to a table and picked up the luggage Daniel had placed there. Daniel was still worried about Brandon but too prideful to show it, asking gruffly, "What's really going on?"

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Brandon responded flatly.

Daniel retorted, "I just wanted you to cut ties with that woman, not wreck yourself."
