Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 426

“Alexander, what's the matter with you? Why do you get jealous so easily?” Sophia slightly arched her brow at him, evidently teasing him on purpose.

Taking in the smile on her face, Alexander let out a rare chuckle as well. “Yes. I'm jealous because it's you.”

Tightening his arms around her waist as he spoke, he lowered his head and rested it against her forehead. As a result, his lips became positioned a few millimeters above Sophia's.

“The two stayed in close proximity. His hot and humid breaths puffing on her face caused Sophia to hyperventilate a little.

She looked up at him. “Are you thinking about kissing me?”

“Yes.”

Right after saying that, he kissed her lips.

Alexander pecked her lips, coaxing Sophia to part her lips gradually.

Sophia felt hot as the air-conditioning inside the room wasn't switched on. She couldn't stop herself from letting out a moan. When he slipped his hand into her shirt, she tilted backward. “No. I don't have any spare clothes.”

Hearing that, he lifted his head and regarded her eyes filled with burning passion and lust, prompting her to be entirely captivated by him.

Her heart skipped a beat, and a scorching sensation coursed through her body as if her skin was being licked by flames.

She hurriedly averted her gaze. She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against his shoulder, staring blankly at the scene behind him.

The room was quiet, save for their heavy breathing.

Approximately two minutes later, Alexander gently moved away to look at her. “Didn't you mention there's afternoon tea?”

She glanced at him. “Do you drink black coffee?”

The afternoon tea provided by the restaurant mainly served Ferropenian desserts, which were all too sweet tasting. Alexander wasn't fond of sweet food, so Sophia deliberately ordered a cup of black coffee for takeaway and brought the snacks upstairs.

“I'll drink whatever you bring for me.” He caressed her face before watching her get to her feet to unpack the bag of snacks.

Sophia merely bought a few pieces of cookies and a cup of black coffee. “I heard the hotel made these cookies, which are supposed to be quite delicious.”

“Let me have a taste.”

Despite uttering those words, he stayed still and trained his eyes on her, apparently waiting for her to feed him.

Feeling helpless for being on the receiving end of his stare, she fed him a piece of cookie. “Here. Open your mouth, you big baby.” He's a grown man, yet why does he act like a baby, insisting on letting others feed him?

Alexander wasn't embarrassed. In the past, whenever he had his meal with Samuel, they would see other couples feeding one another. He regarded their behavior in disdain previously. However, as he watched Sophia feeding him the cookies now, he would finish any amount even though they didn't taste good.

Regrettably, there were only five pieces, so she was done feeding him in just a short while.

Taking in the downcast look in his eyes, Sophia couldn't help but click her tongue. “Do you want more? We can go downstairs to have more of these cookies.”

Alexander's eyes gleamed when he heard her suggestion. “That's not needed.”

He reached out to lift the cup of coffee and took a sip as he spoke.

The coffee tasted bad, but Sophia bought it for him.

With the thought in his mind, he decided to gulp the beverage.

She noticed the changes in the expression of his eyes, so she immediately snatched the cup away from him. “This coffee isn't that delicious. You don't have to force yourself to drink it if you don't like it.”

She tossed the cup of coffee into the trash can as she talked.

Alexander merely watched without stopping her. This black coffee is disgusting.

She lowered her head to look at her wristwatch. “It's not even four o'clock. Since it's still early, should we go to the lounge on the second floor to play billiards?”

While waiting for him earlier, she had explored the entire second floor of the building.

There were plenty of recreational facilities on the second floor. Most of the guests didn't stay in the hotel during the day, so the place wasn't crowded.

It had been a long time since she last played billiards, too, so Sophia thought that would be an excellent opportunity for her to work her muscles.

“Okay. Let me get changed.”

Sophia nodded. Then, she picked up a magazine from the table and browsed through the content.

Most people would enter the bathroom to change their clothes. However, Alexander removed his clothes and changed into another outfit beside his luggage, acting as if he was the only person in the room.

Sophia felt her cheeks heating up as she listened to him unbuckling his belt.

Although she was looking at the magazine before her, she couldn't focus on the words as the sound of

him changing his clothes behind her formed an irresistible distraction.

Fortunately, the process didn't last long.

Five minutes later, countless salacious scenes had played out and flashed across her mind. Finally, Alexander's familiar voice sounded. “I'm done, Sophia.”

She regained her composure and calmly closed the magazine before turning around to look at him. “Let's go, then.”

She was taken aback when she saw him.

That was the first time she had seen Alexander dressed in such a young and casual outfit after knowing him for so many years.

He had always been clad in suits aside from the occasional sportswear when he was out exercising.

At that instant, dressed in dark-colored jeans, a loose white T-shirt, and an undershirt, he suddenly resembled a teenager.

“Do I not look good in this outfit?”

Alexander frowned a little. He used to dress in that manner when he was abroad. However, as he attracted too many girls to swoon over him in that attire, he changed into wearing a suit all the time upon returning to the country.

Unlike Samuel, he didn't fancy women adoring and pursuing him.

He was satisfied to win only Sophia's affection.

However, when he called Samuel two nights ago to ask about ways to please an elder, Samuel pushed his luck and began roasting his fashion sense as they chatted.

Samuel commented on how Alexander was constantly wearing suits. No matter how good-looking he was in the attire or how attractive his physique was, others would eventually get tired of seeing him in the same style of outfits.

Not to mention, he appeared too formal when dressed in suits. Samuel told Alexander he needed to give off a less severe presence if he were to be in Perrin's good books. The gist was to display his more vibrant side by avoiding wearing suits too often.

Samuel also mentioned Alexander was thirty-two years old, which was five years older than Sophia. Sophia was pretty and seemed young, so Alexander would appear old in comparison if he always wore a suit.

Although Samuel's words were laced with hints of jeers, Alexander thought part of Samuel's remarks made sense upon further ponderation.

Therefore, Alexander requested Felix to help him purchase some trendier clothes the day before. The latter implicitly reminded him that the current stylish outfits might be too out-there and would only worsen things for Alexander. In the end, Alexander decided to go to the shopping mall to purchase the clothes personally.

Alexander was confident in his facial features, but Samuel's constant mockery about his aesthetic

sense caused him to doubt whether the change in his fashion style had failed to achieve his intended goal.

Sophia burst out laughing when she heard that. “Since when have you become so unconfident in yourself?”

She quickly strode over and wrapped her arms around his. “You look terrific. This is the first time I've seen you in this type of outfit, so I'm quite astonished. At the same time, I like this appearance too.”

A man was also fond of flattery. Hence, her comments brightened up Alexander's mood. “I think you look good in everything you wear too.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Sophia gazed at him and raised her eyebrows. “Should I reply you 'likewise'?”

Alexander lowered his head to look at her. “Thank you.”

He's such a narcissist!
