The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 178

Theresa only met Brandon once, and Sophia knew about it.

But she didn't expect such a little kid to remember that meeting.

Brandon seemed to sense something from afar, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, then he slowly turned around and looked toward Sophia.

Theresa, on the other end of the phone, saw Brandon looking back and excitedly waved at him.

Little did she know that Brandon, outside the camera's view, couldn't see her.

After waving and not seeing any response from Brandon, she brought her face closer to the phone screen, her eyes wide and round with confusion.

"Mom, mom? Why isn’t Handsome Uncle paying attention to me?"

Her tiny finger poked at Brandon's face on the screen with a puzzled expression.

Sophia gave her a complex look, then turned her gaze back to Brandon, who was still frowning in their direction.

Brandon's brows were locked tight, and his eyes resting on Sophia were calm and profound.

Sophia didn't dare to speak, aware that every word she said to Theresa might be deciphered by Brandon from the movements of her lips.

Susan was right there beside Theresa, recording the video call between Theresa and Sophia on her phone.

She didn't hear Sophia's response, but she saw Brandon on the screen frown slightly before standing up and walking toward Sophia.

Susan quickly scooped up Theresa, who was practically glued to the phone, and gently explained, "Because he hasn't seen you yet."

She pointed at the rear camera of the phone and continued, "He hasn't seen you, Theresa, so he doesn't know you're talking to him."

Theresa looked up at her, somewhat understanding yet perplexed as to why she could see him while he could only see the dark lens of the camera.

"Theresa, how about we call mommy later, okay?" Susan asked softly while holding her, "Staring at the phone too long will make your eyes hurt."

Theresa got that.

Giving her young age, her mom and godmom had always limited her screen time.

She obediently nodded, "Okay."

Susan turned and gave a knowing look to Grace, the childcare nanny standing by. Grace immediately came over and took Theresa away.

Grace was the tall and heavyset woman Brandon had seen with Theresa in Wye City.
