Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 421

It was the first time Sophia met Alexander's aunt, Clara, formally. When she married Alexander, Clara couldn't make it as she had something on. Later on, Alexander probably said something to Clara, so the latter didn't come back specifically to see Sophia.

Their last meeting over eight months ago had been slightly awkward because Sophia had thought Clara was Alexander's new girlfriend.

Sophia could tell that Clara was more important to Alexander than Kristen.

Clara probably cared about Alexander more than his own mother in his childhood.

They arranged to meet at half past six in the evening. However, it was already forty minutes past five when Sophia came out of the shower. She changed into a long, light-colored dress and went out with Alexander.

Since it was the second day of the National Day holidays, the traffic in Jadeborough was congested.

They had been on the road for half an hour and would usually have arrived at the hotel by now, but they were still stuck in traffic.

When they finally arrived at the hotel, it was thirty-seven minutes past six.

The waiter told them Clara was already waiting in the private room. Sophia turned to Alexander beside her and said, “We're late.”

“She won't mind,” Alexander replied.

Sophia let out a chuckle in exasperation upon hearing him. She pinched his arm and whispered, “It's all your fault!”

If he hadn't come in to shower with her, they wouldn't have been late.

Alexander turned to glance at her. “Yes, it's all my fault.”

As they chatted, the waiter led them to the private room.

Opening the door, the waiter turned back to them and uttered, “Mr. Xenos, Ms. Yarrow, Ms. Lambe is waiting for you guys inside.”

“Thank you.”

Sophia regained her composure. She put on a light smile and straightened her posture.

Since they had a small misunderstanding the previous time they met, Sophia still felt slightly embarrassed meeting Clara again.

Alexander could feel Sophia's nervousness and tightened his grip on her hand. “Don't be afraid. Aunt Clara won't bite you.”

Sophia shot him a look. “I'm not afraid.”

I'm only slightly nervous.

Alexander didn't expose her and led her into the private room. “Aunt Clara.”

Clara had not changed much over the eight months.

Although she was over fifty years old, she was still in good shape. Sophia could only imagine that Clara was a very self-disciplined person.

“Ms. Lambe.”


Sophia smiled and took a seat next to Alexander.

She was no longer nervous now that she had met Clara.

Clara glanced at the two of them. “I thought you wouldn't give him another chance, but you guys are together again?”

Sophia heard this and smiled. “Yes, I still like him.”

Seeing her so honest, Clara was pleased. “You guys have gone through a period of separation, so the road ahead will be smoother.”

Clara had been living abroad for years and was an open person. She admired Sophia for incorporating so many companies.

This meeting with Clara went more smoothly than Sophia had imagined.

When they parted, Clara gave Sophia a bracelet. With just one glance at the color, Sophia knew it was not a simple bracelet.

“Alex's grandmother left this for his mother. Since Alex's mother passed away, she couldn't give you this bracelet in person. I'm doing it in her stead.”

“Thank you, Ms. Lambe.”

“If Alex ever bullies you, I'll help you teach him a lesson! He's lucky to marry a beautiful woman like you. If he doesn't treat you well, I know many tall, handsome guys in Ustrana!”

Clara was a fan of people with good looks, so she thought Alexander had struck gold to have such a stunning woman by his side.

Sophia replied in embarrassment, “He wouldn't dare.”

The three chatted for a while outside the hotel. Soon, Clara's ride arrived.

“My boyfriend is here, so I will head off first!”

“Okay.”

Sophia looked in the direction Clara was leaving and saw a tall, handsome, blue-eyed foreigner.

She turned her head and smiled at Alexander. “It looks like she wasn't lying to me.”

Alexander heard her and tightened his grip on her hand. “You don't have the chance anymore.”

Sophia raised her brows. “That's not necessarily true.”

Alexander couldn't resist and leaned in for a kiss upon seeing her gleeful smile.

At that moment, Clara turned around to bid them farewell and saw this scene.

She paused for a moment before realizing what was going on and hugged her boyfriend. “They're such a perfect match, aren't they, dear?”

“We're also a perfect match, my dear.”

Sophia realized what was happening and quickly pushed Alexander away, looking toward Clara and her boyfriend, who had already gotten in the car and left.

She watched the black car drive away, and her face turned slightly red. “Ms. Lambe was trying to bid us farewell!”

“I waved goodbye.”

Sophia was rendered speechless.

Is this what I'm concerned about? It's not!

After meeting Alexander's aunt, it was time for him to meet the Dawson family.

The two had booked a flight for the next day at nine in the morning. When they touched down at Doveston, it was right before noon.

The person picking them up was Lukas. Upon seeing Alexander, the smile on his face disappeared. “It's been a while, Mr. Xenos.”

“Long time no see, Mr. Dawson.”

The two exchanged polite but distant greetings while Sophia watched at the side.

Upon hearing her giggle, Lukas glanced at her and said, “You've got some guts.”

Sophia curled her lips and replied, “Wasn't you the one who wanted me to do this?”

“I was merely making a suggestion.”

It was up to Sophia and whether she had the courage to do it.

“Granddad won't bite me. What is there to be afraid of?”

Lukas only hummed in acknowledgment. He didn't express his opinion on this matter.

Alexander and Sophia got in the car and slowly left the airport.

They encountered some traffic on the highway, so by the time they arrived at the Dawson residence, it was already past one o'clock.

Perrin and the other family members knew Sophia was coming back to the residence, so they waited for her to have lunch together.
