The Indifferent Ex-Husband: Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate novel Chapter 720

"Don't worry about it," Brandon said reassuringly as he gently patted her shoulder. Then, turning to Amanda, he called out, "Mrs. Ferber."

Amanda turned at the sound of her name.

Theresa took the opportunity to reach out her arms toward Sophia. "Mommy, I want a hug."

Amanda looked surprised to see that Sophia had a daughter. She glanced at Theresa, then back at Sophia.

"And who is this?" she asked, unable to contain her curiosity.

"This is my daughter, Theresa," Sophia explained softly as she picked up Theresa. Then she pointed toward Amanda and said to Theresa, "Theresa, say hi to Grandma."

Sophia chose the universal term "Grandma" instead of any elaborate titles.

Theresa obediently said, "Hi, Grandma."

But Amanda didn't respond with the usual warm smile. Instead, she frowned, scrutinizing Theresa with a look that clearly questioned whether she was truly Sophia's daughter.

Her reaction made Theresa uneasy, and she turned anxiously to Sophia.

Sophia comforted her with a gentle pat on the shoulder.

Amanda forced a kind smile at Theresa before turning back to Sophia, expressing her concern, "Sophia, you've forgotten so much, like a blank slate now. Be careful not to believe everything people say. It's crucial for a girl to be cautious."

Her words were clearly directed at Brandon.

This didn't sit well with Sophia. Normally, she would have been considerate towards Amanda, who had once saved her life, but now...

"Godmother," Sophia called softly, her smile unwavering but her eyes firm, "I can make my own decisions. You don't have to worry about me."

Amanda was taken aback by Sophia's tone. She didn't respond, forcing herself to hold back her displeasure.

Brandon, maintaining his composure, addressed Amanda, "Mrs. Ferber, we deeply appreciate your care for Sophia. But she is my wife and the mother of my child. We love her and would never deceive her or let her be wronged. Please rest assured."

Amanda, her expression cool, ignored Brandon, focusing solely on Sophia with a stern, motherly tone, "Sophia, being blinded by love never ends well. I'm only looking out for you."

"I understand," Sophia replied gently, shifting the topic. She handed Amanda the menu, inviting her, "Godmother, please have a seat and see what you'd like to eat."

Amanda's attention shifted as she began perusing the menu, selecting dishes that Sophia loved and were beneficial for her recovery.

As Amanda pointed out each dish, explaining how it would aid Sophia's health and listing dietary restrictions, it was clear she knew every detail by heart.

Brandon watched her with a mix of emotions. Even Sophia's own mother couldn't match such attentive care.

Amanda truly cared for Sophia, but it was evident she wanted to control Sophia in the name of love.
