The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 686

Sophia couldn't help but let out a surprised "Huh?" as she turned to Brandon, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"I'm sorry, |..." The apology slipped out instinctively, yet she found herself at a loss for words.

The phrase "you don't wantanymore" from him tugged at her heartstrings unexpectedly.

She couldn't fathom what kind of event would lead her to say something like that, or the emotions she would have been

experiencing at that moment.

From their brief ttogether over the past few days, Brandon seemed almost flawless.

"Maybe..." Sophia pondered for a moment, "lI was just upset at the time."

She could only guess at what might have happened to reassure Brandon, but even as she tried tofort him, she felt strangely

detached, as if she were consoling him on behalf of someone else.

Losing the shared memory left her feeling disconnected from her own past.

This realization brought a wave of disappointment over her.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, "I can't remember what | was feeling when | said that, but | never meant to hurt you. If my words upset

you, I'm truly sorry."

As she finished, she looked up at him, her eyes filled with sincere honesty.

Brandon gave her a small smile, gently patting her head, and softly said, "Sophia, you did nothing wrong. In our relationship, the

fault has always been mine, and | believe you deserve to know that. I'm telling you this not to push you back into yourfort

zone or to let you go. | don’t want to let you go, and | won't. | just hope | can be honest and real with you, so you feel safe."

"I don't feel unsafe," Sophia quickly interjected, realizing his emotional shift was due to the way she had looked at him earlier.

"When you kissed me... | felt this strange mix of familiarity and unfamiliarity, a bittersweet longing. It's like we don't usually get

close, and only in those intimate moments do | feel that you... also care about me. It’s hard to describe, but it happens every time

you kiss me. The more intense, the stronger it gets, and that's why | seem a bit dazed."
