Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 146
“Alexander.”
His closed eyes twitched slightly when he heard a girl's voice.
Kayla gazed at Alexander, who was standing on the balcony. His dejected and aloof silhouette seemed to have blended with the night sky.
She did not dare to approach him. Instead, she merely stood at the doorway, three meters away from him, and called his name.
Kayla had witnessed everything that had happened earlier from the side. She could not believe an arrogant and proud man like Alexander would apologize to Sophia.
“What do you like about her? Is it because of her pretty face? What other traits do Sophia possess, which you are so fond of, aside from her good looks?”
Alexander was already grappling with his worst emotions. Yet, Kayla, insolent as she was, dared to criticize Sophia in front of him at that moment.
He snorted, turned around, and looked at her. “Who are you to speak of her? You're not even qualified to be her servant, Kayla.”
You're not even qualified to be her servant, Kayla.
Alexander's hurtful words reverberated in Kayla's mind as her body shuddered.
He had always addressed her as “Ms. Fletcher.” For so many years, he had never changed the distant and cold manner when greeting her. That night was the first time Alexander had called Kayla by her given name. Little did she expect him to do so for the sake of defending Sophia.
Kayla was on the verge of losing her sanity. “How am I inferior to her? Tell me, Alexander. How am I inferior to her?”
Sophia was aggrieved. She did not understand how Sophia was better than her.
Alexander merely stared at her coldly as if he was looking at a clown.
In the end, Kayla could no longer stand the way his emotionless eyes were boring into her. She shrieked, covered her face with her hand, and ran off.
Following Kayla's departure, the balcony fell quiet again.
The corner of Alexander's lips twitched slightly. “What a fool, thinking so highly of herself. How can a good-for-nothing like her dare to compare herself to Sophia?”
Sophia and Horatius entered the lounge. She thought about what had happened earlier and turned around to glance at Horatius. “I'm sorry to have troubled you earlier, Mr. Swain.”
Sophia smiled wryly. “There's nothing for him to let go if there weren't any feelings in the first place.”
Horatius gazed at her for a short while. “I don't suppose you would go back?”
“Do I strike you as someone who would do that?”
He laughed. “A wise person would never do that, and you, Sophia, are an intelligent person.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
She was indeed a smart woman.
“All right. You can get some rest in here for now. I'm going out to meet with someone. I'll be back later to bring you out.”
Sophia was a little embarrassed. “Okay.”
Horatius waved his hand and shut the door behind him when he left.
The lounge was a luxuriously-decorated room. Sophia sat on the couch while holding the bottle of water in her hands.
She was undoubtedly brilliant, but she was still human.
And because of that, Alexander's words could not have bounced off her without having any effect.
At the very least, she felt ill at ease at that moment as a slight hint of annoyance crept into her chest.
She would rather Alexander treated her the way he had done so during those three years, regarding her as a gold-digging and scheming woman. She wished he would hate and disdain her than behave in his current demeanor.
Although she could not deny that she felt pleased with the sight of him in that condition, at that point in her life, she would prefer if they no longer had any interactions, walking their own separate paths.
Because something like that had happened just after she entered the venue, Sophia did not stay for long.
Horatius was the main character for the night, so he did not have the time to send her off in person. He did not force her to stay, making an exception for her to go back after taking in her dispirited manner.
Katherine called her right after she returned to her mansion.
Sophia poured a glass of warm water and sat on the couch. She felt a little exhausted. Sophia asked, “What's the matter?”
“What happened tonight?”
Katherine possessed wide networking, having acquaintances from every walk of life. She had heard the news about the incident that happened that night swiftly after.
However, her friends had described that matter in exaggeration, telling her about Alexander being an affectionate man and suffering from heartache. Naturally, Katherine did not believe in that inaccurate information.
Still, she believed that Sophia and Alexander had met. Sophia did not expect that matter to reach Katherine's ears that soon.
She took a sip of the warm water before replying, “It's nothing. Alexander has gone crazy.”
“Seriously? Did he really confess his feelings for you in front of so many people?”
Sophia was unfazed earlier but felt inexplicable emotions undulating in her heart presently, now that Katherine mentioned Alexander's confession again.
She pursed her lips slightly and responded casually, “Yes.”
“Is he messing with you or being serious?”
“He's serious.”
Katherine was stumped at that instant.
Alexander was suddenly and unexpectedly falling for Sophia. At that point, Katherine did not know if she should give Sophia any advice.
After all, she knew Sophia was better at handling her emotions than she did.
