Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 530

It was nighttime, and Sophia was already sleeping. Carefully, Alexander removed his hand from her and placed a blanket on her body. Then, he left the room and called Felix on the phone.

Alexander had already told Felix about his return beforehand. Hence, Felix wasn't surprised when he accepted Alexander's call. “Mr. Xenos?”

“Help me investigate someone,” ordered Alexander.

Upon hearing that, Felix couldn't help but be stunned. Although, he snapped back to his senses a moment later. “Sure.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Heath Barker.”

The instant Felix heard that name, he understood why. Someone has been looking into Ms. Yarrow's affair. I was afraid they were doing it for malicious purposes, so I semi-locked down the information about her. “Understood, Mr. Xenos. I'll send you an email later.”

“Mhm.” Alexander promptly hung up the call.

While Sophia didn't tell me about Heath, I believe she isn't intentionally hiding the truth from me. It was probably because she thought Heath was so unimportant that she didn't need to bring him up. However, I met him a few hours ago in the hotel lobby, and I could tell he bore ill intentions toward her. He has some gall to covet my wife in Jadeborough. His family is so unremarkable that I couldn't give a d*mn about them. The edges of his lips twitched before he returned to the room with his phone.

Sophia was likely exhausted as she was sleeping very soundly.

Sitting at the side of the bed, Alexander stared at her. Due to jetlag, he wasn't feeling tired yet.

The affairs overseas have been mostly dealt with. While I still need to handle some procedures, I couldn't wait to see Sophia again after being separated from her for over a month. Now that I'm back here, I'm going to marry my wife officially. Touching the ring on Sophia's finger, Alexander started thinking about the marriage. The custom-made ring should be done soon, and the wedding gown has already been shipped here. There's also the wedding photo... There are so many things I never did for her during our first marriage. This time, I'm going to give her the best of everything.

He glanced at the sleeping Sophia again and sent a text message to Felix.

The next morning, when Sophia woke up, it was already around eight.

She was usually woken up by an alarm at seven in the morning, but she didn't hear the clock ringing. Hence, she assumed Alexander had taken it away.

Alexander hadn't awoken yet. As she stared at him, she couldn't help but grin. I didn't know waking up next to the person I love feels so good. He seems to be deep in slumber. It's probably because he didn't sleep much last night due to jetlag. Likely, he didn't even close his eyes until early morning.

To avoid rousing him, Sophia left the bed very gently.

Despite that, just as she entered the bathroom, Alexander opened his eyes.

The curtains hadn't been drawn yet, so the room was still dark.

Alexander looked around before sitting up on the bed.

The sound of water could be heard inside the bathroom as Sophia brushed her teeth.

After Alexander left the bed, he sauntered into the bathroom.

Just as Sophia finished washing up, she saw the door being opened and was taken aback. “Did I wake you up?”

“No,” answered Alexander before approaching her back and hugging her.

Sophia stared at Alexander in the mirror. His jaw pressed on her shoulder while his eyes were slightly closed, looking as though he hadn't fully awoken yet.

When she saw that, she arched her eyebrow. “Why don't you keep sleeping?”

“I'm awake.” Alexander peered at the mirror and saw the reflection of him hugging Sophia.

What a genuine and heartwarming sight, I must say. As he thought, he couldn't help but embrace her tighter. “Can you clear your schedule for the next few days, Mrs. Xenos?”

Upon hearing that, Sophia wondered, “Do you have plans, Mr. Xenos?”

“We haven't had our wedding photos taken yet.”

When he brought that up, she recalled how they already arranged the photoshoot but hadn't gone for it

yet.

Sophia turned her head, staring into his dark eyes, and blushed slightly. “Okay.”

Then, she pulled Alexander's hand, the one on her waist, away. “I've finished washing up.”

As she spoke, she ducked out of his embrace and dashed away. At the entrance, she glanced back at him. “I'll make sandwiches downstairs.” I may not be skilled at cooking, but I can still make a sandwich.

“No need. I've asked Mr. Lane to send us breakfast already.”

Just as he ended his sentence, the doorbell rang. Genie informed them there was a guest.

“I'll go downstairs and grab breakfast.” Without delay, Sophia descended the stairs.

She narrowed her eyes at the sight of the morning sunlight and stared at Felix, who was delivering breakfasts. “Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Lane.”

Grinning, Felix replied, “It's no problem, Ms. Yarrow.”

As he spoke, he handed the breakfast to her.

Upon receiving it, Sophia recalled Alexander's words and said, “Please keep my schedule free for the next few days.”

Felix did not look surprised and nodded. “Understood, Ms. Yarrow.”

She smiled. “You may leave now.”

“All right, Ms. Yarrow.”

When Sophia returned to the second floor, Alexander had finished washing up. Just as she arrived at the top of the staircase, he seized the breakfast in her hands.

She glanced at him and thought about Felix's reaction earlier. Hmm... Alexander must've told him something.

After sitting down, she beamed at Alexander, who was opening the container cover. “Mr. Lane didn't seem surprised when I asked him to leave my schedule blank earlier.”

Alexander handed a spoon to Sophia. “I told him last night.”

“Tsk, tsk. You're so thoughtful, Mr. Xenos.”

“I shouldn't have let Mrs. Xenos be so busy in the first place.” He gazed at her. I know Sophia doesn't like helming Odyssey, and if it weren't because of me, she wouldn't have needed to. Back then, when I was... unavailable, Odyssey was already deep in trouble. After all, it's a decades-old corporation, unlike Sunshine Group, which Sophia built from scratch. Hence, it has a lot of frustrating affairs to handle.

In response, Sophia lifted her eyebrow. “When are you planning to take back Odyssey, Mr. Xenos?”

“Why should I? What is mine is yours too, no?” answered Alexander.

She couldn't help but laugh. “Aren't you afraid that you'll be working for me for free?”

Surprisingly, he arched his eyebrow, too. “Why should I? It'll be my pleasure to serve you my whole life.” After experiencing so much, I know money is but the cherry on the cake for her. It doesn't matter to her how affluent she is. While Odyssey is valuable, it may not be worth as much as her wealth once it is sold. Perhaps it won't even catch my beloved wife's attention.
