Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 506

Noticing her gaze, Alexander suddenly turned toward her. Sophia was caught off guard, and their gazes met.

She had never felt more guilty in her life, and she instantly blushed uncontrollably.

Although there was an exhaust fan in the bathroom, the temperature in the summer was high, so the mist quickly intensified due to Alexander's hot shower. Yet, Sophia caught a perfect view of his naked body.

Sophia instinctively sat up when she saw Alexander walking toward her.

However, he had already entered the bathtub by the time she had sat up straight.

The initially spacious bathtub became cramped all of a sudden. Sophia retracted her legs and watched him sit down next to her. In the next second, he reached out his hands and pulled her into his embrace.

Just like that, he ended up hugging her from behind. After that, he pulled her in once again to let her lean back against his chest.

At that moment, Sophia couldn't help but realize Alexander's body was burning.

She moved slightly, and Alexander lowered his head to kiss her cheek. “What did our aunt say to you?”

Sophia was puzzled because she knew Alexander only had one relative left, and that was Clara. She only returned to her senses moments later to realize that he meant Kylie.

Sophia glanced at him and answered, “Granddad would like to go to Coldbridge to visit Mom's grave.”

“When?” He kissed Sophia on the lips and continued, “Do you think I should also visit my parents-in- law?”

Sophia was baffled once again when she heard that.

Although the water in the bathtub was turning cold, Alexander's body was still as hot as before. Hence, Sophia felt as though she was sitting in a pool of hot water.

In the next moment, he started running his hand all over her body. Hearing her moan, he lifted her up and pinned her against the edge of the bathtub.

The shower had been turned off a few minutes prior, so the mist in the bathroom had subsided. With a clear view of what was happening, Sophia stared into the mirror before her eyes and tightly gripped the bathtub's edge.

It was a hot summer night, but the couple seemed to have managed to intensify the temperature in the bathroom. Nothing could be heard in the bathroom apart from their heavy breathing.

Over an hour later, Sophia was carried out of the bathroom. After Alexander placed her on the bed, she covered herself up with a blanket and turned to look at him.

Her eyes look so beautiful and enticing. He tucked the strands of hair scattered by her ear to the back of it and said, “Let me get you a glass of water.”

Sophia hummed gently and weakly in response.

Alexander glanced at her for a while more before getting up and going downstairs to pour her a glass of water.

Right after she had gotten dressed, Alexander walked in with the water.

“Have you made the arrangements?” he asked.

Sophia froze momentarily before realizing that he was talking about the trip back to Coldbridge.

She shook her head in response, explaining, “I only found out about what Granddad and the others had in mind. Apparently, they're planning to stay in Jadeborough for a couple of months. Hence, there's no rush.”

Alexander sat down next to her and helped her set the glass aside. “I have some matters to deal with in Moranta, so I'll have to leave soon.”

She expected that to happen, so she threw him a glance and leaned on his body. “When are you planning to go back there?”

“It could be as soon as this Saturday.”

“Well, you're definitely leaving on Saturday, then.”

Seeing that Alexander was keeping mum, Sophia recalled what he said in the bathtub. With her reddened cheeks, she asked, “Do you really want to visit Coldbridge as well?”

“Mm-hmm,” Alexander responded. That's where Sophia grew up. I had been there before, but I didn't go with her. I would like to go there with her and learn about her past.

Sophia lowered her head, took his hand, and placed it in her palm. “In that case, we'll go there when you return.”

Alexander hummed in acknowledgment.

It was late, and Sophia couldn't help letting out a yawn.

“Let's sleep.” He glanced at her and lay her down.

While lying next to the man, Sophia arched her brows and said, “Goodnight, Alexander.”

“Goodnight, Mrs. Xenos.”

Alexander stayed in Jadeborough for the next few days before he had to take an afternoon flight back to Moranta on Saturday to deal with some matters.

Sophia knew he had to leave soon because there were a lot of things he had to deal with in Moranta. However, she still couldn't bear to watch him leave.

As usual, she suppressed her emotions, and she was still wearing a smile on her face when they were on their way to the airport.

“Wait for my return, okay?” As they approached the immigration counter, Alexander hugged her and

lowered his head to kiss Sophia's forehead.

“Okay.” Sophia hugged him and leaned her head against his chest.

Meanwhile, a couple nearby was parting ways, but unlike Sophia and Alexander, that random couple was arguing.

Sophia glanced at the couple and chuckled softly.

“What are you looking at?” Alexander raised his brows when he heard her chuckling.

In response, she pointed at the couple and uttered, “I wonder why they're arguing.”

Alexander traced Sophia's gaze and noticed the quarreling couple. They were arguing so loudly that even though they were more than a dozen meters away, Sophia and Alexander could still hear them clearly.

That woman was asking, “What's with your response? Do you find it difficult to say that you'll miss me? So? Are you going to miss me or not?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

To which the man responded, “Why are you so p*ssed off? You asked if I would miss you, and I hummed in acknowledgment. Didn't that mean I would miss you?”

“What's with your expression, then? Are you shunning me? I knew it! You must have a lover elsewhere! I knew long-distance relationships would never work! That's it. You can stop taking days off to see me. Let's just break up!”

With that, the woman spun on her heels and left. No one knew what was on that man's mind, but he merely stood rooted to the spot and watched her leave.

Seeing that, Sophia clucked her tongue and was about to retract her gaze. However, that man suddenly chased after the woman and pulled her arm.

“What are you doing? Let go—”

The woman couldn't finish her sentence because the man suddenly kissed her on the lips. She struggled at first, but she soon gave in and went along with it.

The two kissed for a long while before realizing that they were in public. Upon noticing that there were a lot of people around, the man finally let go of the woman.

Sophia couldn't help but chuckle once again. They had broken up moments ago, but a kiss seemed to have fixed all the problems they had. How sweet.

“Sophia?” Alexander suddenly called out.

Sophia retracted her gaze and lifted her head to look at the man beside her. “What is it?”

As soon as she lifted her head, Alexander pinched her chin and kissed her on her lips.

Sophia was taken aback. By the time she had regained her senses, Alexander had pulled away. He then lowered his head and said, “I don't have other lovers anywhere.”

Embarrassment inundated her. “It's about time for you to go through the immigration counter.”

“Will you miss me?” he asked.

Sophia recalled the conversation between the couple nearby when she heard his question.

“Yes. I'll miss you dearly.” She smiled.

“Okay. I'll miss you even more, then.” Alexander caressed Sophia's cheek, and his dark and cold eyes were filled with reluctance.
