Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 554

Sophia turned her gaze up at Alexander. Her cheeks flushed.

The woman who had asked him directions was disappearing into the distance. Sophia felt uncomfortable at the recollection of how the woman watched Alexander kiss her.

Alexander did not seem the least bit disturbed. He looked down at Sophia with the same tender gaze.

“What would you like for dinner?”

Sophia thought for a moment. “Let's go to Mirage.”

It's been four months since we went to Mirage.

Alexander nodded and led her out of the hospital.

The pair headed straight for Mirage upon leaving the hospital and arrived at five which was a little early for dinner.

The server was surprised to see the couple that day as it had been months since Alexander and Sophia came.

“Mr. and Mrs. Xenos, would you like a private room or...”

That was the first time Sophia was addressed as “Mrs. Xenos” in public. She was not used to it, but she maintained her smile. “A small room will do.”

“Very well. This way please, Mrs. Xenos, Mr. Xenos.”

As the pair had arrived well before the dinner crowd, their food arrived ten minutes after they placed the order. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Sophia took a sip of soup. As she thought of Lewinn, she turned to look at Alexander. “Lewinn is much prettier today than he was yesterday, isn't he?”

Alexander did not enter the ward, as Katherine had just given birth, but Joshua had brought Lewinn to him.

The swaddled newborn did look a little bigger than he was the day before, but Alexander could not tell if he was beautiful. The baby's cheeks were ruddy, and his features were still a little wrinkled and lacked a sense of shape. Alexander could not see how he was beautiful.

Since Sophia thought the child was beautiful, he was not going to argue with her, so he merely grunted in assent.

“Lewinn has the best features of both his parents. He will be a little heartbreaker when he grows up.”

Sophia felt her heart turning to mush at the recollection of the little bundle of joy.

She gazed at Alexander, who was peeling a shrimp for her and felt an instinctive longing for a child of their own.

Alexander and I are both good-looking. Our child will be good-looking too, be it a boy or a girl.

Sophia blushed when she realized what she was thinking about.

Alexander placed the peeled shrimp on her plate. He glanced up and looked at her. “What is it?”

Sophia's brow twitched. She averted her gaze and shook her head with a smile. “Nothing.”

Alexander looked at her again. His dark pupils quivered, but he did not press her further.

October was the season for crabs, and they were meaty and tasty. Though the crabs were delicious, Sophia did not dare overindulge as she felt her stomach was rather sensitive in the past two days. Thus, she only had one before passing the rest to Alexander.

Sophia's phone rang when she set down her fork.

She glanced at the screen and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Raising her eyebrows, she answered the phone. “Hello, Sophia speaking.”

“Hello, Ms. Yarrow. This is Wendy Waak, Nina's agent.”

As soon as she heard the caller identify herself, Sophia knew the purpose of the call at once.

Sophia laughed and asked, “What can I do for you, Ms. Waak?”

“It's like this, Ms. Yarrow: Nina was wrong in what she did, and the company and I have severely reprimanded her. Over the next six months, she will take any job that comes her way. You are someone

kind, Ms. Yarrow, so please don't hold a grudge against her. She has been in the industry for too long that she let her arrogance get to her head, which is why she did those awful things to you. However, she has learned her lesson. If possible, Nina and I would like to buy you dinner as a gesture of apology. What say you?”

Sophia laughed. “You're a smart woman, Ms. Waak. I don't think I need to say any more than that. This is my personal number, and I'm willing to overlook how you got it, but I don't like picking up calls from people I don't know. Have a good day.”

An apology? What does Nina want to apologize about? I'm not short of money. What can she pay for? What a joke.

Sophia flashed a grin at Alexander after hanging up. “That was Ms. Newfield's agent.”

Alexander nodded. “Did she threaten you?”

“I don't think they would dare to.”

Only a fool would threaten her over a phone call.

Alexander did not press on when he saw that Sophia was not bothered by it, deeming it unnecessary to fret over that clown of a woman.

Sophia smiled. “I'd like to go to the mall.”

She wanted to buy something for the newborn Lewinn.

“Sure.”

Alexander took her hand, and the couple exited the room.

It was really easy to run into people they knew at Mirage. As soon as Sophia and Alexander emerged from their suite, they ran into Heath.

Actually, he was not considered one of their acquaintances, but Heath had left a deep impression on Alexander.

During their previous encounter, Heath had all but disrespected him to his face. And now, Heath was surprised to see Sophia there.

The Barker family decided to relocate to Jadeborough that year. Having been a rich, idle heir long enough, Heath's elder brother posted him there.

Shiloh had tagged along too. Unexpectedly, after using Heath's failure to pursue Sophia to retaliate against his ridicule for supporting Nina just the day before, they found themselves face-to-face with Sophia the following day.

Naturally, there was also Sophia's all mighty husband, Alexander.

Now, there's a show.

Shiloh was ready for a showdown. He glanced at Heath. “I think this is an opportunity, Heath.”

Heath returned his glance and let out a smile that did not reach his eyes.

Sophia did not know Heath well. In fact, they had only met four times and were not even friends.

Despite how they met that day, Sophia did not have the slightest inclination to greet him.

However, that thought was not reciprocated. “Long time no see, Ms. Yarrow.”

As Alexander and Sophia's marriage was posted almost everywhere, Heath addressing her as “Ms. Yarrow” instead of “Mrs. Xenos” in front of Alexander was clearly a provocative act.

Sophia felt the hand holding hers tighten a little. She turned to glance at Alexander and smiled reassuringly. “I don't know him.”

As soon as she spoke, Shiloh, who was standing beside Heath, burst out laughing. “She said she doesn't know you, Heath.”

Heath ignored Shiloh. He raised his brows and gazed at Sophia with an enigmatic expression. “That's not what you said when we last met, Ms. Yarrow.”

His tone was so suggestive that it gave others the impression that there was something going on between them.

Sophia was unperturbed by Heath's response and her smile remained unchanged. “There must be something wrong with your memory, mister.”

As she spoke, she turned to Alexander. “Let's go, Hubby.”
