Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 459

The rain was still going on. When the red lights lit up, Sophia stopped the car.

Samuel's words reverberated in her head as she stared at the foggy scene outside.

She was so lost in her thoughts she never even realized the traffic light turned green. It was only when the car behind her honked at her did she snap back to her senses and stepped on the accelerator.

Fifteen minutes later, she arrived at Alexander's condominium.

It was Sophia's first time at the man's condominium. After she and Alexander married, Alexander rarely returned to the Xenos residence. Instead, he had been living in this condominium in the city center.

Sophia neither had an access card nor did she know the password.

It was an upscale condominium, and when she entered, she was stopped by the security guard.

"Hello, Miss. You don't look like a resident here."

Sophia nodded. "I'm the girlfriend of Unit 2803's owner."

The guard froze for a second when he heard that. "That's Mr. Xenos' unit, but he was in an accident half a year ago. I'm sorry, Miss, but in accordance with our rules here, I can't let you in."

Sophia did not voice a word in protest. Instead, she moved to the side and called Felix.

Felix was surprised to receive a call from her. During his six months of working for Sophia, he

discovered that she was someone who drew a clear line between work and private life.

Therefore, she would not call him if she was off work.

That was why he was worried when he saw her name on his phone screen. Subconsciously, he thought that something had happened to her. "Good evening, Ms. Yarrow."

"Good evening, Mr. Lane. I'm currently on the ground floor of Nebula Residence. The security won't let me in. Do you have any way of getting me in?"

Felix stiffened for a moment before coming back to his senses. He promptly said, "Ms. Yarrow, could you please pass the phone to the guard?"

Sophia smiled and did as he asked. "Hey, do you mind answering the phone for a moment?"

Her gentle demeanor and sweet looks made the guard take the phone after a moment of feeling stunned. "Hello, this is Nebula Residence's security guard."

"I'm Felix Lane, Mr. Xenos' secretary. I think my number is in the condominium's records. My number is..." Felix then proceeded to list out his phone number. "The owner of this phone is Mr. Xenos' girlfriend. She forgot her access card, so please let her in."

Sure enough, Felix's number was in their records.

As a security guard, he memorized details of some of the more important residents, including Alexander, who was a prominent figure in Jadeborough. Furthermore, those who lived in the

condominium were either the rich or the powerful. It would spell bad luck for him if he accidentally crossed someone.

Thus, right after Felix said that, the guard let Sophia in.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Yarrow. I didn't know it was you."

Sophia took her phone back and flashed him a smile. "It's fine."

She then thanked him for opening the door for her and walked into the guarded area.

Felix then said, "Ms. Yarrow, the password to the condominium is your birthday."

Sophia's hand shook. A beat later, she pressed a button to get the elevator and muttered, "Okay. Thank you."

Right as she ended the call, the elevator arrived.

Alexander liked staying on the highest floor, so naturally, his unit was on the top floor. Moreover, even though Nebula Residence had two units on every floor, the highest three floors only had one unit on each floor. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Reaching the twenty-eighth floor took about half a minute.

Upon stepping out of the elevator, Sophia took a left turn and reached the door.

After keying in the password, the door beeped twice and unlocked. At the same time, the lights at the

doorway lit up.

Despite the fact that Alexander had not been in the unit for close to a year, Felix had arranged for weekly cleaning, so the house remained clean.

There were three pairs of shoes on the rack—two pairs of leather shoes and a pair of slippers.

Even though there was a couch in the living room, the condominium unit of over two hundred square meters still seemed empty.

Sophia changed into the slippers, but as they were Alexander's, they were too big for her.

The color scheme of Alexander's home was primarily composed of sleek gray and black tones, imparting a strikingly somber ambiance.

The rooms were separated by hidden doors. As it was Sophia's first time at the house, it took her a few tries before she found the door to the guest room.

The door to the master bedroom was even more challenging to find. The dark walls of the corridor and the door seemed to blend together. Only when she was close to the end of the corridor did she finally find the master bedroom's door.

The master bedroom was spacious, but there was nothing inside besides a bed, two bedside tables, and a one-seater couch.

Indeed, the simplistic manner was something Alexander would like.

Sophia walked over to the side of the bed and pulled the drawer of the bedside table.

Samuel was right. There was a stack of photos in it. Though they were placed in an envelope, half of the photos were peeking out of it.

One of the photos was right on top of the envelope, however. It was a photo of her and a man walking out of a hotel. She guessed that was the photo that Alexander used when asking Samuel whether or not he was more handsome than the other man.

Sophia lifted the envelope and gently tilted it to its side. Dozens of photos poured out of the envelope immediately.

They were photos of her when she was in business meetings—of her and the business partners she met with within half a year after marrying Alexander.

There were more than forty photos in total, and there were three different men, as well as her.

No wonder Kristen would show these photos to Alexander. It's quite misleading.

Sophia could not find the negatives that Samuel told her about, so she guessed that Alexander had destroyed those.

A while later, she put the photos back into the envelope and drawer before closing it. Then, she walked toward the walk-in closet.

The master bedroom's walk-in closet was huge, but there were few clothes kept inside. Almost all were suits.

Samuel only told her that it was in the closet—he did not specify where—but it was not difficult to find them.

On the third drawer Sophia opened, she found the two boxes.

Samuel was right. It was a pair of rings.

The diamond sparkled brilliantly as it caught the light, radiating an array of prismatic colors.

Sophia looked away from its glaring reflection, hot tears welling up in her eyes.

She never knew about this. Alexander never told her about this.

He always had few words and an icy expression for her during those three years.

He abandoned her in the Xenos residence, and she told herself to wait for three years.

Sure enough, she got a divorce from him later on. The fury on his face on the day of the divorce had been baffling for her. She thought he was upset about how she was the one to raise the topic of divorce.

Now, she realized it was probably because the woman who had been adamant about marrying him turned out to be the first to want a divorce. She had been so unrelenting, too.

Isn't he a smart man? Why is he so stupid on this, then?

Sophia took out the ring and slid it into her ring finger.

How strange. It's almost been four years since then, but the ring still fits me so well.

She caressed the ring for a while before putting it back into the box.

Since Alexander never told her about this, she was going to pretend that she never knew about it either.

It was still pouring outside, and the large windows were fogged from the cold. Sophia stood in place for a moment before taking out her phone to message Yvonne.

After that, she turned to head back into the master bedroom and entered the shower with Alexander's bathrobe.

Right as she was done with her shower, the door's surveillance camera rang.

Yvonne had reached, so Sophia unlocked the door for her.

It had only been two minutes, but Yvonne was already there with the clothes and products she needed. "Ms. Yarrow, the clothes and toiletries you asked for."

Sophia handed her a glass of warm water. "Thank you."

Yvonne stared at Sophia curiously, but she could not bring herself to ask anything.

Sophia smiled and moved aside to let her in. "I came to look for some things, but I realized it's raining

outside, so I didn't want to drive back. It's close to Odyssey, anyway."

Yvonne nodded. "Are you going to move over from now on?"

Sophia took a sip of the warm water and shook her head with a smile. "No, I'll only be staying here for a night."

It was only to satisfy her uncontrollable yearning.
