Sophia's appearance took a lot of people by surprise. Even Alexander's appearance at the current event was nothing shocking. However, when the two of them showed up together, everyone was baffled.

Shortly after the couple entered the venue, many people started gossiping.

“Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Alexander arrives with Sophia by his side, and the two of them look like they are back together! I thought the Dawson family is going to pick Sophia as their daughter-in-law. What's going on?”

“How should I know? This birthday banquet is so grand. I thought they are going to announce the engagement between Sophia and Lukas!”

“Two months ago, I heard that Sophia has gotten back together with Alexander. But during this period of time, she has also visited the Dawson residence quite a number of times. If Sophia isn't going to marry into the Dawson family, why does Mr. Dawson like her so much?”

Gossip and discussions were buzzing wildly, but Sophia ignored all of them. When she found Kylie, she went over with Alexander immediately.

The moment Kylie saw them coming, she excused herself from her guests and called out, “Sophia.”

“Aunt Kylie.”

Sophia greeted Kylie and saw her aunt scrutinizing Alexander. She could not help but feel a little embarrassed. “Aunt Kylie, this is my boyfriend, Alexander.”

Kylie glanced at her and smiled. “So, you have decided not to hide him anymore?”

Sophia was feeling very awkward. “I have never done that.”

Although Alexander was a reserved person, he was still very respectful.

Previously, Kylie had some prejudices against Alexander because of their divorce. However, her displeasure subsided when she heard his casual yet respectful greeting. “We have a lot of guests today. Please forgive us if the service is lacking, Mr. Xenos.”

Kylie then turned to Sophia and said, “Go on and see your grandpa. He's resting in the lounge.”

With that, Kylie gestured to a waiter and got him to bring the couple to meet Perrin.


The day before, Sophia had already met her granddad. That night, she brought Alexander with her.

It was Perrin's birthday that day after all. Although the most important thing was to announce Sophia's real identity, Kylie hoped that everything could go on peacefully. She did not wish for Perrin to be upset if he met Alexander in front of everyone later on.

Sophia understood Kylie's intention. She turned to Alexander and said, “This time around, we are really going to meet my granddad.”

Alexander lowered his glance and nodded. “Sure. Don't worry. I'm not nervous.”

Sophia could not help but laugh when she heard that. “I didn't say you are nervous.”

Alexander pursed his lips and kept quiet.

Sophia felt his grip tighten around her hand, but she did not call him out. Instead, she pulled him along as they followed the waiter.

Very soon, the waiter came to a halt.

“Ms. Yarrow, this is where Mr. Dawson is resting.”

Sophia nodded and thanked him before knocking on the door.

Perrin's assistant opened the door almost immediately. When John saw Sophia, he smiled. “Ms. Yarrow, you're here.”

“Mr. Zinn, is Granddad in there?”

“Yes, he is. Please come in.”

John was smart enough to leave them alone, and Sophia went into the lounge while holding onto Alexander's hand.

The moment she walked in, she saw Perrin drinking coffee. “Granddad.”

Perrin looked annoyed. “Didn't I tell you that I don't want to see him?”

Sophia turned around to look at Alexander before she smiled and said, “But, I can't help it, Granddad. I only like this man.”

When Alexander heard what she said, he cast a glance at Sophia before walking forward. “Mr. Dawson.”

Perrin responded with a cold snort, “Mr. Xenos, you're a smart man, so I will get straight to the point. I don't approve of you getting together back with Sophia. If the two of you want to date, I don't care. But if you want to remarry, I will never agree to it!”

Alexander was mentally prepared, so when he heard what Perrin said, he was not surprised.

He glanced at Sophia and asked, “May I speak privately with Mr. Dawson?”

Sophia raised her brows. She did not expect Alexander to be so confident.

“Sure.”

Sophia looked at Perrin and patted his shoulders before she left. “Granddad, it's only a chat. Please keep things civil. Don't get rough, please.”

Perrin burst out laughing. “Silly girl! Am I such a person?”
