Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 137

The grip on Sophia's wrist finally loosened up. She lifted her hand to move his away, then headed for the parking lot.

It had been ten months.

She thought she had let go.

In actuality, she had not. It took mere sentences from Kayla to provoke her.

Sophia realized that she did actually blame him.

If he had stood up for her at least once during those three years, she would not have been in such a predicament.

However, he didn't.

People must move forward. Anyone who walks backward will be on a downward-sloping journey.

Therefore, she did not want to go back.

Sophia got in the car, but she did not drive away immediately.

In everyone else's eyes, she was calm and collected. Yet, only she knew how awful her condition was.

When Katherine called her, she didn't feel like picking up. She was worried she would reveal her true feelings.

It was quiet in that cramped car. The silence forced her to recall every sentence Alexander had said.

She had too good a memory and could remember every word clearly.

In truth, Sophia didn't think that Alexander was not good enough for her.

She was just indignant because her ten years of affection were for naught.

Sophia used one hand to cover her eyes and the other to pick up Katherine's call. “Hello?”

“Soph, I have good news! Bethany's acting was horrible. The director finally had enough of her and kicked her out of the film crew! Hahahaha!”

“When did this happen?”

Sophia wiped a tear from the edge of her eye and chuckled softly.

Katherine did not suspect anything at all. “Just this afternoon! I heard she had to retake the same scene too many times, and she was important in that scene. If they kept retaking the scene, filming would be delayed. Dahlia was paired with her for that scene, and she couldn't take it anymore. Right then and there, she said it was either Bethany or her. The director isn't stupid. Of course, he picked Dahlia!”

Sophia looked out the car window. The moon seemed far away, high up in the sky. She was too tired to deal with Katherine, so she simply said, “That's great.”

“Why do I think something's off with you, Soph? What happened?”

“You're too excited. It's just your imagination.” Sophia paused, then continued, “I'm hanging up. I'm outside and driving home. Talk to you later.”

Katherine looked at their call duration and immediately put on an act. She whined, “It's only been two minutes, and you're sick of me already. As I thought, you've got somebody else now, so you don't want me anymore. Go! Go look for your new lover.”

“I'm hanging up.”

Katherine kept quiet.

Aren't you a little too heartless, Soph?

The heartless Sophia rolled down the window for some fresh air. After she finally calmed down, she drove off.

It was half-past eight when she reached the mansion. Sophia felt tired, so she went to sleep after a quick shower.

However, she didn't sleep well. Running into Kayla brought back a lot of things from the past. Scenes of people chastising her over those three years flooded her dreams.

When Samuel received a call, he had just gotten home. Everyone was having a great time, but Kayla had ruined the mood.

He could finally improve Sophia's impression of him, but Sophia would likely ignore him the next time she saw him because of what Kayla had done.

After something like that, Samuel even gave up on his active nightlife. All he wanted was to go home, take a shower, and go to sleep.

However, he received a call the moment he arrived home. The caller was none other than Samuel's childhood friend, Alexander, who had gone after Sophia, his own ex-wife.

“Alex?”

“Hello, is this Mr. Xenos' friend? Mr. Xenos got into a car accident. He is currently in United General Hospital. Could you come over?”

Samuel scrunched his brows. “What happened to him? Is he okay?”

“Mr. Xenos is currently in the operating room.”

Samuel fell silent.

Are you serious, Alex? You're taking things this far?

“Okay. I'll be there in fifteen minutes!”

Samuel did not expect Alexander to get into a car accident while going after Sophia. From the caller's tone, the situation seemed serious.

He quickly put on the shoes he had just taken off. The housekeeper, who had a bowl of dessert on a tray, asked, “Where are you off to in a hurry, Mr. Schild? Do you need me to keep this warm?”

“It's fine. Go to sleep, Lola. Something happened to my friend. I'm going to the hospital!” By the time he finished his sentence, he had already driven off.

Samuel bolted to the hospital entrance. It was in the middle of the night, and the hospital was dead silent.

He got out of the car and ran to the operating room. A man was standing outside with Alexander's phone in his hand. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Schild. I'm Michael Perry. Mr. Xenos is in there undergoing surgery right now.”

Samuel's mind was scrambled. “How is he?”

“The doctor said that Mr. Xenos broke a leg, so he had to get surgery. It's no big deal.”

“You should have said so earlier! You scared me to death!”

Michael awkwardly said, “Sorry. I should have made myself clearer.”

Samuel waved his hand to show that he had let it slide. “Are you the driver who ran into him?”

“I am truly sorry. I accidentally stepped on the accelerator. That's why I crashed into Mr. Xenos.”

Samuel scoffed, “If apologies are enough, why do we have the police? We will follow the procedure. As for the rest of the details, we'll discuss it after Alexander wakes up.”

“Okay! Definitely!”
