Chapter 204
#204 “You and I are Polar Opposites, aren’t We?”
As the sun began to dip low in the sky, casting a warm golden glow over the city, Alexander felt a surge of spontaneity. “Hey, why don’t we extend this celebration a little longer?” he suggested a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
Sophia’s face lit up with excitement at the idea. “That sounds perfect! What do you have in mind?” she asked eagerly, her adventurous spirit matching his own.
With a grin, Alexander pulled out his phone and began tapping away at the screen. “I’m thinking we have a picnic, “he declared, his voice filled with enthusiasm. “I’ll order some delicious food and drinks, and we can enjoy them in the great outdoors.”
Sophia chuckled at his organized approach. “You don’t need to plan every detail, Alexander,” she teased, gently nudging him. “Part of the fun is the spontaneity of it all.”
Undeterred, Alexander continued scrolling through his phone, but he couldn’t help but laugh at Sophia’s comment. “You’re right,” he admitted, his fingers pausing momentarily. ” Let’s keep it simple then.”
With Sophia’s approval, they set off on foot, the anticipation of their impromptu picnic adding an extra bounce to their step. Sophia led the way, her eyes scanning the bustling streets for the perfect spot.
They soon arrived at a quaint food store, where Sophia wasted no time gathering the essentials for their picnic. She selected an assortment of fresh bread, cheese, and deli meats for sandwiches, along with a bottle of chilled wine to complement their meal. With a quick sweep of her hand, she grabbed a soft blanket from a nearby shelf, completing their picnic ensemble.
With their supplies in hand, Sophia tugged Alexander along as they made their way to the nearest park. The lush greenery and dappled sunlight greeted them as they found a secluded spot beneath the shade of a towering oak tree.
As they settled onto the blanket, surrounded by the sounds of nature and the gentle rustle of leaves overhead, Alexander couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment wash over him. This simple, spontaneous moment with Sophia was a reminder of the joy that could be found in life’s little pleasures.
“You and I are polar opposites, aren’t we?” Sophia remarked, a fond smile playing on her lips.
Alexander nodded, a grin spreading across his face. “Indeed, but I believe that’s what makes us work so well together,” he replied, his tone affectionate.
“I can’t wait to see what the suite will look like after this fiasco with the coin, ” she laughed.
Alexander’s grin widened mischievously at her words. “Oh, I’m looking forward to it,” he admitted, his gaze filled with playful desire. “And I can’t wait to have sex with you on any new piece of furniture,”
Sophia’s cheeks flushed at his bold remark, but she couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement at the thought.
A mischievous twinkle danced in Sophia’s eyes as she shot back, “How can you have such a boring taste in furniture and at the same time such a dirty mouth?”
“If you want, I can show you what else this mouth can do,” Alexander added with a suggestive wink.
“We’re in the park,” she scolded him lightly, though her eyes sparkled with amusement.
Alexander’s grin remained, his gaze filled with a playful sparkle as he leaned in closer to Sophia. “Well, perhaps we’ll have to save that for later then,” he replied, his voice low and filled with suggestive promise…
Sophia’s laughter bubbled forth, a melodic sound that mingled with the rustle of leaves in the gentle breeze. ” Yes, perhaps we should,” she agreed, her tone teasing as she leaned back slightly, a playful glint in her eyes.
As they lounged on the blanket, Sophia leaned against Alexander’s shoulder, her fingers intertwined with his. The park around them buzzed with life, the distant laughter of children mingling with the chirping of birds overhead.
“You know,” Sophia began, breaking the comfortable silence between them, “I never imagined I’d find myself here, planning a picnic in the park with you.”
Alexander turned to her, a soft smile playing on his lips. “And why’s that?” he asked genuine curiosity in his voice. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Sophia shrugged, a playful twinkle in her eye. “I thought that after our failed marriage I would be able to hate you and forget you. How can I assume that my grandfather actually chose the most wonderful man for me.”
Alexander’s smile widened at her words, his heart swelling with affection. “I suppose fate works in mysterious ways,” he replied, his voice tinged with warmth. “And despite the ups and downs, I’m grateful for where it’s brought us.”
Sophia nodded in agreement, her gaze softening as she looked at him. “Me too,” she murmured, her fingers gently tracing circles on the back of his hand.
“If I have to be honest, I would repeat every mistake in my life if it would lead me back to you,” said Alexander, staring at the scenery.” I used to think that I wanted to achieve incredible things in business, but when I met you I realized how empty my dream was. Now I can’t imagine anything but a family with you.”
Sophia’s heart fluttered at Alexander’s heartfelt words, her eyes shimmering with emotion as she gazed at him. ”
That’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever said to me,” she whispered, her voice barely above a breath.
Alexander turned to her, his expression tender and sincere. “I mean every word, “he assured her, reaching out to gently cup her cheek. “You’ve brought so much light and joy into my life, Sophia. I can’t imagine facing the world without you by my side.”
Tears welled up in Sophia’s eyes as she leaned into his touch, overcome with love and gratitude. “I feel the same way, “she confessed, her voice catching with emotion. “You’ve shown me what it truly means to love and be loved unconditionally.”
In that moment, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the warmth of their connection, Alexander and Sophia knew that their love was not just a fleeting moment, but a lifelong journey filled with endless possibilities.
