Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 313

On the other end of the phone, Yvette didn't answer immediately, seemingly having thought of something. A moment later, she asserted, “Yes! I merely said some unpleasant things to you. Never had I done anything that crossed the line to you! Yet, you're doing this to me! No matter what, Sophia, we were once classmates! You'll regret this! I'll have you regret it!”

“If that's what you think, then you're truly forgetful. You dated Connor for half a year, but you don't even remember him now?”

Sophia paused in her speech for a second before drawling, “I'll be waiting for you to make me regret it.”

After saying that, she hung up the phone right away without giving a hoot about Yvette's reaction.

Memories from the past made her expression a touch chilly.

Beside her, Alexander reached out and took her hand upon seeing that she had ended the phone call, squeezing it lightly. “Do you want me to help you?”

The smile on Sophia's face gradually returned. She then chuckled softly. “No, it's okay.”

I'll have them all drop to their knees and beg for forgiveness before Tanya!

“Okay then,” Alexander murmured.

Subsequently, he led her upstairs by the hand.

The incident during the wedding created an uproar, but it didn't really matter to Sophia and Alexander.

It was the weekend tomorrow, and it was still early then. Sophia picked a thriller, and they both watched the movie in the home theater with a plate of honeydew.

Sophia hadn't watched any movies in a long time, so she wasn't drowsy even when the time ticked past ten o'clock.

Meanwhile, Alexander fed her a slice of honeydew from time to time. As a result, she was pretty much stuffed by the time the movie came to an end.

She turned and cast the man a sidelong glance. “Did you feed them all to me?”

“I ate some, too.”

Dipping his head, Alexander kissed her lightly. Sophia's eyes flickered as something abruptly occurred to her. “If I'm not mistaken, there's an auction tomorrow, right?”

“Are you interested in going?”

In truth, Alexander had long since received an invitation though he hadn't much interest in attending. It was Saturday tomorrow, and he was more inclined to spend the day with Sophia.

“It's going to be July soon, and Granddad's birthday is on the tenth of August.”

When Alexander heard that, his ebony eyes glinted imperceptibly. “In that case, we'll go and have a look tomorrow night.”

“I heard that there'll be a white emerald carving of Pegasus from the reign of Emperor Alaric.”

Actually, Sophia had no idea what to give to Perrin as a birthday gift. He lacked nothing and was merely fond of playing chess and fishing with his former comrade-in-arms. Unfortunately, the latter was currently sick and bedridden, so he had no one to accompany him in doing all that.

After much consideration, she decided to procure the carving. After all, Perrin could keep it as part of his collection.

“Okay, we'll go.”

Needless to say, Alexander had no objections.

The auction was at night. As Sophia went to bed late the previous night, it was already past eight o'clock by the time she woke up in the morning. Alexander was no longer in the room, and the space wasn't pitch-dark, thanks to the sunlight and brightness beyond the curtains.

Sophia sat up and tarried for some time before washing up.

No sooner had she stepped out of the bathroom after washing up than her phone on the bedside table vibrated incessantly.

Reaching out, Sophia picked up the phone. The instant she glimpsed the caller ID, she was startled for once. “Tanya?”

“Good morning, Sophia. Did I wake you?”

Sophia chortled before she snagged the remote at the side and opened the curtains. The sunlight slowly streamed in. Strolling out, she stood on the balcony, squinting slightly. “Nope. What's the matter?”

On the other end of the phone, Tanya fell silent for a moment. “Yvette called me this morning.”

At once, the smile on Sophia's face faded. In the next heartbeat, a pair of hands encircled her waist without warning.

She glanced back over her shoulder at Alexander before asking Tanya, “What did she say?”

“She said you ruined her wedding with Henry last night.”

When Tanya finished her sentence, she likely realized that her remark sounded accusative and hastily added, “Don't get me wrong, Sophia. I merely want to warn you to be careful of her. From her tone, she seems intent on taking revenge on you.”

It's been years, but Tanya has never changed.

A wealth of warmth suffused Sophia. “Okay, got it.”

Pausing briefly, she looked down at Alexander's arms around her waist, a smile blooming on her face. Then, she continued, “The weather is quite good today. You should go out and have fun with Mrs. Gomez.”

“I will. I'll leave you to it, then.”

“Enjoy the weekend.”

“You, too.”

After disconnecting the call, Tanya stared down at the phone in her hand for a long time before turning and casting her eyes at the window by her side.

In reality, that wasn't all Yvette said on the phone. She spoke at length, mentioning Connor and Tanya herself.

She said that Sophia had lost her mind because the latter still wanted to avenge Tanya after so many years had passed.

Tanya hadn't dwelled much upon those devastating matters recently, but following that comment from Yvette, she was dragged into the abyss again.

Well, Sophia is right. Today is a nice sunny day.

Just then, Laura came in with some fruits in hand. “Tani?”

Retracting her gaze from outside the window, Tanya tilted her head and looked at her mother. “The weather is great today, Mom. Shall we go out for a walk?”

Laura was stunned for a moment. When she registered the meaning of those words, her eyes stung, and she nodded fervently. “Yes, yes! Sure!”
