Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 472

Coincidentally, Sophia and Claudius bumped into Percy as they stepped out of the elevator.

For the past six months, Percy had been refusing to give up. It was just two days ago he had asked Alistair to be a spy by putting her near Sophia.

He had always thought that Alexander had really died. Knowing the news that Alexander was still alive, Percy was skeptical about it. He wanted to find out the truth.

When Percy saw the man standing beside Sophia, his expression changed drastically.

He quickly regained his composure and approached Claudius with a smile. "Mr. Xenos, it's been half a year since we last met. I thought something unfortunate happened to you. It's good to see you again!"

Claudius gave Sophia a glance and replied, "Is it? I thought you would be worried to see me again, Mr. Zaat."

Percy froze when he heard Claudius' remarks. Then he smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Xenos? Ms. Yarrow has been working hard for Odyssey during the six months of your absence! Because of that, she has lost a lot of weight."

Sophia piped up, "Thank you for the concern, Mr. Zaat. My body is still the same. I didn't lose any weight."

They didn't bother to give Percy an out, making him feel slightly awkward. He smiled sheepishly in response and said, "Is it? I must have a bad memory because of my old age. You look slightly pale, Ms. Yarrow, which makes you look weak. I'm sure you two must be busy. I will make a move first, then.

Let's catch up another day, Mr. Xenos!"

Then, Percy turned and left.

Sophia looked at his chubby figure as he walked away, her eyes curved slightly upward.

After a brief moment, she withdrew her gaze and turned sideways to look at Claudius. "How do you know who that person is?"

With his eyes fixed on her, Claudius answered, "I did some research on Odyssey before I came."

Sophia tutted. "You mean you did your research on me?"

Claudius lowered his head to look at Sophia. "Are you mad?"

"There's nothing to be mad about. You will remember everything after recovering your memories. Why would I be mad at you for checking me when you've lost your memories?"

Claudius gazed into her mesmerizing eyes, feeling a weird sensation inwardly. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

It had been three months since Claudius had regained consciousness and got discharged from the hospital. Ever since then, he had never felt anything like that before.

Claudius was unclear of the subtle feeling. Nonetheless, he instinctively knew that it was love.

With just one lovely smile from Sophia, Claudius would feel his mood improve tremendously for the

whole day.

If this is not love, then what is?

"I thought you would get angry about it."

"You're the exception."

Why would I get angry at someone I love? Furthermore, this is a unique case for both of us.

Soon, they walked out of the company. Claudius drove himself that day and parked his car in the parking lot in front of the office.

Sophia followed him to his car. Claudius opened the door of the passenger seat for her, but she did not get into the car directly. She asked, "Do you know the direction?"

Claudius looked her in the eye. "You drive, then."

He walked to the other side of the car and opened the door for Sophia.

Sophia got into the car and asked, "Have you made any reservations?"

"No."

Sophia had guessed it. Grabbing her phone, she showed Claudius a barbecue restaurant recommended by Yvonne and asked, "Are you all right with this?"

"Sure."

"Okay. Let's go to this restaurant," said Sophia, taking back her phone from him.

Although it was not winter yet, the weather was chilly in Jadeborough. The rainy season was around April.

The restaurant recommended by Yvonne was nice. They noticed that the restaurant was already full upon arriving at their destination. Fortunately, it was not lunchtime yet, so they managed to find a seat there to dine in.

Shortly after, they left the restaurant, and it was not even one o'clock.

"Do you have any other matter to attend to for your return this time?"

"Yes, I do."

Sophia arched an eyebrow and asked, "What's that?"

Claudius stared at Sophia for a moment before replying, "Before I returned to the country, my secretary found out that Percy has been contacting my mother's nephew, Mike Quinn."

In fact, the incident that had happened to Alexander was caused by Mike as well.

"Are they planning something against Odyssey?"

"Yes."

From his words, Sophia understood everything right away. "Is that why you appeared at Odyssey today? Were you trying to warn Percy just now?"

"Yes."

Percy had the audacity to mess around as he assumed that Alexander was dead.

Claudius was trying to kill two birds with one stone by making an appearance in front of Percy. He was hoping that Percy and Mike would behave themselves.

Otherwise, Mike might think that he could inherit Rose's assets alone after her death.

Sophia nodded in response, then pointed at the park opposite them. "Let's go there for a walk. It helps with digestion."

"Sure. We'll do as you say."

"I've never taken a walk in the park with you before," said Sophia.

As soon as she said that, she felt someone grabbing her hand abruptly.

Sophia froze while glancing at their intertwined hands. She didn't let go, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

The scenery was breathtaking, especially in April. The peach blossoms bloomed beautifully in the park. Taking a stroll to the garden, they saw the multicolored layer of blooms in front of them. They could

smell the lingering sweet floral fragrance in the air.

Just then, Sophia's phone rang.

She cast a glance at Claudius and said, "Excuse me. I need to take this call."

It was a call from Yvonne. She had called to inform Sophia that Kristen wanted to meet her.

Sophia had heard a little about Kristen going to jail for attempted murder last month. Nonetheless, she was not interested to know anything about Kristen and her children anymore.

"I'm not going to meet her."

"Understood, Ms. Yarrow."

Yvonne understood what Sophia meant immediately and hung up right away.

For a moment, Sophia was in a daze as she stared at the phone screen. But quickly, she regained her senses, put away her thoughts, and walked toward Claudius.

"Have we ever fought during our marriage?"

While she was away, Claudius had witnessed a couple quarreling with each other. The next second, the husband hugged the wife unexpectedly. The couple then reconciled as if they had never started a fight.

That sudden question caught Sophia by surprise. It took her a while to snap back to her senses. "No,

we have never quarreled before."

They had a cold and distant marriage during their three years relationship. Naturally, there was no opportunity for them to quarrel with one another.

Claudius looked at Sophia. "I'm sorry for the bad experience in that three years."

Sophia shook her head. "It's all in the past." She then swiftly changed the topic. "Have you met Kristen? She's your father's second wife."

"I have."

Sophia let out a chuckle and said, "It makes sense now. I just got informed that she wants to meet me."

"Just ignore her."

Kristen was suffering the consequences of her own action.
