Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 288
Perrin caught on that Sophia didn't intend to talk to him about Alexander, or rather, she intended to continue staying with Alexander.
Perrin was hoping to meet Sophia anyway, so he refrained from talking about Alexander altogether and changed the topic since Sophia didn't want to talk about that.
It had been a long time since the two of them met, so they had a lot to talk about.
They spent almost two hours chatting at the restaurant. Seeing that it was about time and not wanting to affect Sophia's work, Perrin said, “It's two o'clock in the afternoon now. It's time for you to go back to work now, no? I won't intrude on you any longer. Go back to work.”
Sophia chuckled while looking at him. “I'm quite free these few days. Really. Jadeborough boasts of an extraordinary view. A friend of mine has a cruise ship. Why don't I bring you out to the sea tomorrow?”
Doveston was far from the ocean, so Perrin had never gone to the sea in his whole life. He was intrigued when Sophia made that suggestion but didn't want to affect her work. “An old man like me can settle for a simple trip around here. You should prioritize your work. It's more important.”
“No, you're more important, Granddad.”
Perrin laughed out loud upon hearing that.
After all, everybody liked being flattered.
“Do you have any prior engagements this afternoon, Granddad?”
“Not yet. I was planning to go check out the museum with John.”
Sophia was aware that Lukas had arranged for an assistant, John Zinn, to come along to Jadeborough with Perrin.
“I can come along since I'm free this afternoon.”
While Perrin was glad to hear that, he only agreed to it after making sure that Sophia was free indeed.
After paying the bills, Sophia escorted Perrin out of the restaurant one step at a time.
Her car was parked at a nearby parking lot. The weather was hot, so she escorted Perrin to the plaza opposite the parking and had him wait for her there.
“What a coincidence, Ms. Yarrow.”
She heard a familiar voice the moment she released Perrin's hand and turned to leave for the parking lot.
Sophia turned her head to see Jessica and Megan approaching them. She arched her brows. “Mrs. Queen, Ms. Queen.”
The fact that Sophia only offered thirty thousand as compensation for the vase embarrassed the Queen family after news traveled throughout Jadeborough. Jessica never liked Sophia, and those feelings had only intensified since then.
However, given that the Queen family had lost out after the incident, Megan was no longer as provocative toward Sophia as before.
Thus, the reunion of sorts went on rather cordially.
Jessica swept a glance at Perrin, who stood behind Sophia. Smiling, she feigned nonchalance while asking, “Would he be your grandparent, Ms. Yarrow?”
Everyone in upper-class society knew the Dawson family from Doveston.
However, Perrin was used to keeping a low profile, so he rarely made any public appearances after his retirement. Thus, people were more familiar with Kasper and Lukas.
Sophia nodded. “He's my granddad.”
Jessica didn't seem to think much of Perrin. “You're so nice to your granddad, Ms. Yarrow.”
There was a brief pause before she took out an invitation card from her bag. “Megan's grandfather would be celebrating his birthday next week. Seeing that you share a decent relationship with Samuel, you should join the celebration.”
Sophia checked out the invitation card she held. I don't suppose this is going to be as simple as it seems.
With a smile, she took the invitation card and glanced at Jessica. “Sure.”
She was curious as to what Jessica could be plotting, given that it was an occasion of much importance.
Jessica nodded. “Meg and I won't intrude on your time with your grandpa, then.”
Neither Jessica nor Megan greeted Perrin throughout the conversation. Before they left, Megan even looked at Perrin with disdain.
The older man caught the look in her eye. His face fell as soon as the two women left. “Had they given you a hard time before?”
Sophia let out a chuckle upon hearing that. “Don't underestimate me, Granddad. I'm not a pushover.”
Perrin hummed and decided to ask Lukas for confirmation later on.
Sophia spent the afternoon with Perrin at the museum in Jadeborough. It had been a while since Perrin left the house. Moreover, his beloved granddaughter had spent the entire day with him, so he was visibly delighted. His good mood persisted even after he returned to the hotel.
Sophia worried that Perrin's legs might feel sore the next day after they spent a day touring around. Thus, she massaged his legs for more than half an hour. She even reminded John to fetch some hot water for Perrin to soak his legs in.
Perrin wished he could record the sight of Sophia giving John reminders on his phone so that he could show off the fact that he was loved by his granddaughter to Stanley.
Sophia turned to check on Perrin after talking to John. “I'm going back, Granddad. Make sure you get some rest.”
