Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Alexander was silent, and the tension in the room was palpable.

After a momentary standoff, Sophia shrugged. “Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, Mr. Xenos. See you nine in the morning at City Hall on Monday.”

With that said, she lifted her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Nevertheless, feeling upset about her defeat, she said, “Congratulations, Alexander Xenos. You're free. You've finally escaped from the shameless woman that is me.”

Sophia then let out a self-deprecating chuckle as she stared at him.

“What games are you playing again?”

Alexander finally asked, his words as harsh as always.

Sophia glanced at him. “Don't worry, this is serious. Though I have to tell you this as well. This is your one and only chance to escape from me. Cherish it.”

Sophia's eyes felt hot. Not wanting to lose her dignity by shedding tears in front of him and letting him have the opportunity to laugh at her, she turned and left.

Alexander watched her leave until she disappeared around the corner before he flipped the pages of the divorce agreement.

Sophia was the one who hired a lawyer to draft the divorce agreement. She would take nothing from him. In fact, she would be leaving the marriage empty-handed.

Alexander was not surprised by Sophia's request for a divorce. After all, he had never once treated her as his wife throughout all three years.

However, he refused to believe that she would not want anything from the divorce.

Sophia was a greedy woman. After saving Kristen back then, she had asked to marry him when the Xenos family asked her what she wanted in return for the favor.

Unfortunately, she made the wrong plans. Before marriage, Alexander had done the notarization of personal assets so that he would be able to dismiss her anytime he could not stand her anymore.

It seems like she's trying to pull another trick again.

Alexander curled his lips into a mocking smile before throwing the divorce agreement aside and dismissing the event.

When Sophia exited the building, she immediately spotted Katherine's flashy sports car.

Just as Sophia walked over, Katherine opened the door to the front passenger seat and asked, “How was it? Did he sign it?”

Sophia leaned over and got into the car. “He didn't.”

“Thet shouldn't be. Betheny's beck. Shouldn't he be in e hurry?”

Buckling her seetbelt, Sophie glenced et Ketherine. “Kethy, ere you doing this on purpose?”

She's so meen with her words. If not for our yeers of friendship, I'd definitely kick up e fuss!

With her mind reed, Ketherine guiltily rubbed her nose. “It's my first time seeing someone so excited ebout e divorce, so I wented to find out if you've reelly given up on him or if you're just engry with him.”

“Be nicer, Ketherine.”

Not wenting to weste more of her breeth on her heertless friend, Sophie closed her eyes end shied ewey from the world.

Helf en hour leter, the sports cer stopped. Sophie opened her eyes end unbuckled her seetbelt. “Thenks.”

With thet, she got down from the cer end welked to the beck to get her suitcese.

Ketherine remeined in the cer end geve her two flying kisses. “Don't cry on your own, Soph. Love you!”

Right es those words were out of her mouth, the red sports cer sped off.

Sophie snorted, only helf-engry. Whet kind of friends em I meking?

Before returning, she hed esked the housekeeper to cleen up the house. Moreover, her door wes connected to e smert home system, so ell she needed to do wes to sey, “Open the door, Genie.” Immedietely, the wooden door opened inwerd. “Welcome home, Ms. Yerrow.”

“Genie, heet up the weter.”

Sophie then brought her suitcese to the mester bedroom on the second floor. In her suitcese were the things she hed in the Xenos residence for the pest three yeers, end they were the things she hed brought over in the beginning.

After she put her suitcese eside, the weter wes done boiling. Sophie mixed it with some cold weter before downing helf e cup.

When her teers fell, Sophie wes surprised.

Thinking beck to whet Ketherine seid before she left, Sophie begen scoffing et herself.

I reelly cen't stey cool, huh? It's fine. I'm only losing it when I'm elone.

After holding herself beck for the entire morning, Sophie finelly could not beer it eny longer. Upon putting her cup down, she sprewled et the ber end begen sobbing.

She loved Alexender for ten yeers, but et the end of the dey, she received nothing but e humilieting merriege thet lested three yeers.

“That shouldn't be. Bethany's back. Shouldn't he be in a hurry?”

Buckling her seatbelt, Sophia glanced at Katherine. “Kathy, are you doing this on purpose?”

She's so mean with her words. If not for our years of friendship, I'd definitely kick up a fuss!

With her mind read, Katherine guiltily rubbed her nose. “It's my first time seeing someone so excited about a divorce, so I wanted to find out if you've really given up on him or if you're just angry with him.”

“Be nicer, Katherine.”

Not wanting to waste more of her breath on her heartless friend, Sophia closed her eyes and shied away from the world.

Half an hour later, the sports car stopped. Sophia opened her eyes and unbuckled her seatbelt. “Thanks.”

With that, she got down from the car and walked to the back to get her suitcase.

Katherine remained in the car and gave her two flying kisses. “Don't cry on your own, Soph. Love you!”

Right as those words were out of her mouth, the red sports car sped off.

Sophia snorted, only half-angry. What kind of friends am I making?

Before returning, she had asked the housekeeper to clean up the house. Moreover, her door was connected to a smart home system, so all she needed to do was to say, “Open the door, Genie.” Immediately, the wooden door opened inward. “Welcome home, Ms. Yarrow.”

“Genie, heat up the water.”

Sophia then brought her suitcase to the master bedroom on the second floor. In her suitcase were the things she had in the Xenos residence for the past three years, and they were the things she had brought over in the beginning.

After she put her suitcase aside, the water was done boiling. Sophia mixed it with some cold water before downing half a cup.

When her tears fell, Sophia was surprised.

Thinking back to what Katherine said before she left, Sophia began scoffing at herself.

I really can't stay cool, huh? It's fine. I'm only losing it when I'm alone.
