The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 698

Patricia was engrossed in her phone, not paying attention to the bustling surroundings.

Suddenly, Marian halted, making Patricia look up, puzzled. "What's the matter?"

Marian was too preoccupied to answer, standing on her tiptoes and craning her neck to see over the crowd. She was trying to catch a glimpse of someone, wondering if she had just seen Sophia and Brandon walk by. But they were already lost in the sea of people.

Frowning, Marian shook her head, uncertain if her eyes had played tricks on her. It had been nothing more than a fleeting glance, after all.

"What is it?" Patricia asked, noticing Marian's anxious search. "Did you see someone?"

"No," Marian replied, shaking her head again. "I think I must have been mistaken."

Truth be told, it was highly unlikely for Brandon to be around here during work hours. Everyone knew how dedicated he was to his job. Plus, the two figures she saw seemed unusually close, something she couldn't imagine between Brandon and Sophia.

"Who did you think it was?" Patricia's curiosity got the better of her. Marian, having grown up abroad, didn’t have many friends here. It was rare for someone to catch her attention like this.

"It was just..." Marian hesitated, not wanting to reveal too much. But since she had already planned to meet Patricia today, she decided to take a chance. "I thought I saw Sophia with Mr. Crawley."

Patricia's face immediately turned a shade of concern, and she quickly scanned the area. "Where?"

The last thing she wanted was for Brandon to see her with Marian. Patricia was all too aware of the animosity Brandon held towards Marian after the incident with Sophia. The thought of him catching them together filled her with dread.
