The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 586

Susan felt indignant for Sophia, but she also feared of Theresa possibly losing her dad again. Brandon didn't utter a word or show any reaction; he just silently wrapped Theresa in a hug.

Susan couldn't help but shoot a worried glance at Kent. Kent gave her a reassuring "don't sweat it" look, but he couldn't help worrying about Brandon himself. As he was trying to figure out how to break the ice and offer some comfort, Martin's slightly uncertain voice piped up from behind, "Kent?"

Kent turned around to the sound, spotting Martin who had come over with Louis and Renata. With a smile, he greeted, "Mr. Frost."

After the greeting, his eyes naturally drifted to Louis and Renata, and he greeted them with a smile, "Louis, Renata."

Louis looked like he had aged a ton and seemed quite frail, already sitting in a wheelchair - probably because of his physical condition.

Renata seemed in better shape, maybe because she was still in the dark about Sophia's situation. Clueless as ever, but with a youthful spirit.

When Kent said hi, Louis managed a weak smile back, his gaze drifting over to Theresa with a sort of faraway look.

Renata was also drawn to Theresa, exclaiming with surprise, "Yoli."

Theresa, a bit puzzled, turned her head towards Renata, not getting who she was calling. She had grown up a bit, and her features were starting to resemble a young Sophia more and more.

Louis and Martin were both taken aback. Ever since they found out Sophia was Yolanda, they'd asked a few times to see Sophia's daughter and even tried to visit, but Brandon had blocked all attempts.

After such a long time, this was their first reunion with Sophia's daughter. Louis and Martin were a mess of emotions, feeling like they had a lump in their throat, just gazing at Theresa and struggling to find words.

Only Renata was over the moon, already leaving Louis's wheelchair behind and squatting down in front of Theresa, smiling and calling her again, "Yoli, it's grandma."

Theresa glanced back at Brandon, clueless on what to do. Brandon gave her a smile and gently told her, "This is Mommy's grandma, you can call her Great-Grandma."

Theresa obediently called out to Renata, "Great-Grandma."

Renata looked confused for a second, "Not Grandma? You should call me Grandma."

Then, as if remembering something, she mumbled to herself, "No, no, my Yoli's all grown up now; she's so tall and pretty."

As Renata gestured to show Sophia's height, she suddenly panicked, "I haven't seen Yoli in so long; she won't even pick up my calls. Where's Yoli gone?"

Renata looked past Brandon, her eyes frantically searching for Sophia.

Theresa was a bit spooked by her frantic behavior and instinctively tightened her grip on Brandon's hand. Brandon hugged her gently, "Don't be scared; Great-Grandma just can't remember who she is."

Theresa's little face filled with pity and sadness, and the fear she had just felt evaporated.

Martin stepped forward, soothing Renata in a gentle voice, "Grandma Renata, Yoli is just on a business trip, remember? She'll come to see you once she's not so busy."
