Although Samuel did not understand why Sophia had made such a suggestion, he knew that it was definitely an opportunity for Alexander to win her back.

Seeing Alexander standing rooted to his spot with a puzzled look on his face, Samuel hurriedly walked toward the former. Raising his hand, Samuel tapped on Alexander's shoulder and said, “She's asking you a question!”

Furrowing his brows, Alexander replied, “Sure.”

He might not know why Sophia wanted to challenge him, but he surely would not turn her down if she truly wanted to do so.

“Have you booked a boxing room?” Sophia asked.

“Yes,” replied Alexander.

“All right.” Sophia continued, “Let's go to your boxing room to fight, then. Don't let anyone irrelevant in.”

“Okay,” Alexander answered as he strode forward and led the way. Shortly after, both of them came to the boxing room, where Alexandar was hitting the punching bag earlier.

Samuel, who followed the two, became excited for some reason. He took his phone out, planning to stream the match live so that the friends in his group chat could witness it as well.

However, just as he arrived at the door, Sophia lifted her hand and pulled the door half-closed. Blocking the entrance, she flashed Samuel a half-smile and said, “Mr. Schild, please step aside.”

With that, Sophia closed the door.

Staring at the tightly shut door, Samuel kept swearing inwardly.

Why am I considered someone irrelevant? Am I an outsider or a busybody?

Samuel insisted on demanding an explanation from Sophia. However, when he placed his hand on the doorknob and turned it, his face stiffened.

I can't believe she locked it!

He was rendered speechless.

Hasn't she gone too far?

After closing the door, Sophia took a towel from her backpack and wiped the sweat off her face. Then, she threw the towel on her backpack.

Twisting her wrists, she walked toward Alexander and said, “No helmets are needed. We won't aim for each other's head and vital points.”

“All right,” replied Alexander.

He was already in the boxing ring. Lowering his head to look at Sophia, he thought of asking her if she wanted to take a break. Yet, knowing Sophia's personality, he was certain that she would be more upset if he asked her that.

Sophia jumped into the ring after stretching open the ropes. Consequently, Alexander, who was going to reach out and give her a hand, had his hand left mid-air awkwardly.

Glancing at him, Sophia asked, “How long have you been practicing combat skills?”

“Fifteen years,” answered Alexander.

It is no wonder that he could defeat those two men ten years ago.

Snapping back to reality, Sophia said, “I boxed for half an hour just now, so let's not take a break during the fight. We'll just spar for ten minutes. If I lose, I'll promise you one thing; if you lose, it'll be the other way around.”

Hearing that, Alexander was stunned.

Clearly, Sophia did not want him to go easy on her.

Looking at him, Sophia said, “You count to three, then we'll start.”

She walked closer to Alexander as she spoke.




Alexander did not start counting. He fixed his gaze on her instead. “You'll promise me anything?”

Does that include you getting back together with me?

Sure enough, he did not dare to say his thoughts out loud.

Sophia just stared at him. For a while, she did not understand Alexander.

He already has someone he likes, so why is he pretending to be affectionate to me? Or perhaps he's an absolute hypocrite?

She would rather believe that she was imagining things than admit that she had fallen in love with a hypocrite.

“Yes. As long as it's not illegal, I'll promise you anything,” she said.

Is he so confident that he'll beat me?

Alexander stared at Sophia, his eyes flickering. Moments later, he parted his thin lips and said, “Three, two, one. Go!”

In the beginning, none of them made a move.

Sophia was only testing her opponent with a few small gestures, while Alexander was in defense mode most of the time.

After repeating the same moves several times, Sophia began to strike genuinely.

She was in a bad mood that day. Despite having gone through a sparring match with Aaron, she was still feeling down.

Her mood was so bad that she wanted to get drunk.

However, she happened to bump into Alexander that day. Sophia felt as if she had found a way to vent her frustrations.

She did not go easy on him at all. Every punch she threw was full of strength.

Alexander was busy fending off Sophia's attacks, yet he made no move to attack her. He had successfully dodged her attacks multiple times.

More than a minute later, she still did not manage to lay her hands on him.

Feeling a little agitated, she asked, “Are you purposely going easy on me, Alexander Xenos?”

“No, I'm not,” he denied.

“Then why are you not attacking me?” she asked.

As soon as Sophia finished speaking, Alexander aimed directly at her shoulder and threw a punch.

Shocked, she swiftly dodged it.

It was not that he refused to attack. Instead, he was waiting for her to get distracted.

Twitching her lips, Sophia kept herself focused.

She then made two feints in a row. When she made a move for the third time, Alexander did not manage to dodge her punch. Sophia landed her fist on his lower abdomen straight away.

He immediately frowned upon that. Sophia, on the other hand, smiled as she said, “You're looking down on me, Alexander.”

“I'm not,” said Alexander.

Sophia snorted in response. “It's been two minutes, but you've only punched thrice.”

Remaining silent, Alexander quickly threw his fourth punch.
