Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 131

After Sophia finished speaking, she looked down at the time on her wristwatch. Ah, it's already seven o'clock, but we haven't had dinner yet. Judging by Tobias' expression, he doesn't look like he's in the mood to eat either. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Noticing Alexander's gaze from the side, she tilted her head and saw him staring at her. She could not help but raise her brows. “Do you have something to say, Mr. Xenos?”

Alexander's eyebrows twitched. “You're right about everything.”

Tobias knew very well what Alexander meant by that, and his mood instantly plummeted. Rage overwhelmed his heart, but he was also struck with fear.

He had never been so humiliated after living for nearly fifty years. For a moment, he did not know what to do.

Sophia was kind enough and gave him a way out since she was worried that he would burst a gasket. “The whole story has been made clear, and I believe you should know who is right and who is wrong, Mr. White. Judging by your expression now, I don't think you'll be able to stomach this meal today. You can leave now. I won't force you to stay.”

Tobias almost choked on his anger at her words. “Don't worry, Ms. Yarrow. I'll definitely give you an explanation for this matter!”

He got up angrily and glared at her. However, his eyes softened when he glanced at Alexander.

Tsk, what a proud and cowardly wimp.

Tobias stormed off, leaving Sophia and Alexander inside the room.

The sky outside was already as dark as ink. Sophia handed the menu to Alexander and said, “You should know how to order food here, right?”

Alexander was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the meal they had before.

When he took the menu, Sophia had already lowered her head and placed her order in earnest.

I never realized how easily she can push the buttons of other people before. It's quite cute.

He adverted his gaze and lowered his head to casually tick off two dishes.

After placing her order, Sophia looked at her phone and saw a message from Katherine asking her how she was doing.

She glanced at Alexander and replied truthfully: Tobias might have to start taking medicine to lower his blood pressure.

That was true. Tobias was so angry that his face had turned completely ashen.

After replying to the message, she lifted her head just in time to meet Alexander's gaze. She raised her brows and asked, “Is there something on my face?”

“I didn't know you were so eloquent before.”

She smiled. “People who know me well know that.”

It had been three years, but he still did not know her.

Alexander was choked for a moment. It was as if something pricked his heart. It was not painful, but a little uncomfortable.

“I know now.”

“Mm,” Sophie merely hummed, not wanting to continue the topic.

The two fell into silence for a while before Alexander broke the silence. “Are you close to Suny?”

“I'm her assistant. Isn't it normal for me to be close to her?”

Alexander nodded. “Are you free this weekend?”

“I've answered that question.”

I'm not free. Even if I'm free, I'm not free for you.

“I thought you'd give me a different answer today.”

Sophia could not help but laugh at his words. “You thought wrong.”

Just then, the waiter pushed the food cart in, and the ordered dishes were served one after another.

Sophia wiped her hands once more, scooped up a bowl of soup, and lowered her head to drink it.

She ate in small bites. Her movements were slow and gentle as if time had slowed down.

Alexander looked at her and slowed down as well.

It was eight o'clock by the time they finished the meal. Sophia wiped her lips and looked at him. “I'm done.”

“Mm, so am I.”

He put down his cup and looked at her.

She picked up her bag from the side, and the two of them walked out of the room in tandem.

Downstairs, they ran into an acquaintance.

On a rare occasion, Samuel had come out for work that day. He did not expect to meet Sophia and Alexander.

“Sophia, Alex!”

He had a teasing look on his face. If not for Sophia's presence, Alexander would not have resisted the urge to kick him down.

Sophia nodded. “What a coincidence, Mr. Schild.”

Samuel was just about to ask her if she wanted to play together when he suddenly felt a chill go down his spine.

He froze and met Alexander's murderous gaze and hurriedly made an excuse. “I still have work to do, so I'll take my leave now. Let's meet again next time!”

Then he hurriedly turned around and walked back to his private room.

Sophia laughed a little and gave Alexander a side glance. “You don't seem very happy to see Mr. Schild.”

“That's right.”

Alexander did not deny it.

Sophia raised her eyebrows, a little surprised. “Why?”

“He talks too much.”

“Oh.”

That's true. Whether it's stuff that he should or should not say, he talks about it all the same.

Sophie looked away and continued walking forward.

Her car was parked in the parking lot of Mirage. It was just a few steps from the entrance.

She opened the car door and was just about to get in when she realized that Alexander was still following her.

Her brows furrowed slightly. “Yes?”

What? Why is he still clinging to me after the meal?

“I didn't drive here. Mind giving me a ride?”

Sophia laughed at his words. “Sure, if you're not afraid that I'll drop you in the suburbs again.”

“As you wish.”

She stopped smiling and bent down to get into the car. Before closing the door, she said, “Get in.”

She was a person who repaid revenge with revenge and grace with grace.

The car slowly drove away. Fifteen minutes later, it stopped before his condominium building.

She had been here several times in the three years she was married to him, but he did not know.

Sophia's mood soured again when she thought about the past, and the smile on her face faded. “We're here. Get out.”

Alexander unbuckled his seat belt and turned to look at her. “Sophia, can you give me another chance?”

The moon that night was beautiful, but his words were not.

Sophia looked at him. “What do you think?”

Alexander got out of the car, but instead of leaving, he went around to the driver's side. “I'll send you back.”

Sophia suddenly laughed. “Alexander, you're already in your thirties. Don't you feel ashamed playing such childish tricks?”

“Not really.”

As long as I can stay a little longer with you, what's there to be ashamed of?

Of course, he did not say those words out loud. He knew that she would get angry if he did.

I'm slowly getting a grasp on her anger. She's not very good-tempered, but it's not that bad either. As long as I don't cross the line, she's actually quite easy to talk to.

I admit that I'm being a bit despicable. I'm taking advantage of her patience to slowly carve my place in her heart again.

A person's life is only so long. I've lived for thirty-two years, but I've only fallen in love once.

So what if I'm a little despicable? I can't possibly learn from Samuel and remain single, can I?

Isn't it better to be in a relationship? Why would I choose to remain single?
