Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 440

Sophia glanced at Katherine and chuckled. Then, she diverted her gaze toward Claudius and said, "Mr. Lenoir, if we're all returning to the hotel, I'll be sharing a car with my friend. Let's meet at the hotel entrance."

Claudius stared at Sophia for a while. "See you later."

With that said, he left with his bodyguard.

Once Claudius was gone, Katherine hastily stepped out from the spot behind Sophia to say, "Soph, isn't he... isn't he Alexander?"

Sophia glimpsed at her. "I don't know."

After a pause, she prompted, "Let's go back to the hotel first."

Nevertheless, Katherine was still a little worried about Claudius. "I'd say Claudius isn't a simple man. We're not in Jadeborough, let alone in the country, so we'll have to keep our heads low even if anything happens. Why don't I get Joshua to accompany you later?"

"No, it's fine. I think he's only curious."

That piqued Katherine's interest. "What's he curious about?"

However, Sophia gave her no answer. "Let's go back first."

After all, she could not possibly tell Katherine that she had bit Claudius on his lip when she saw him the night before, right?

Sophia had drunk a little the night before, and she lost control of herself when she saw Claudius' face, which looked extremely similar to Alexander's.

She had jumped to conclusions.

However, if Claudius had been living overseas the entire time, then he would just be someone who looked a lot like Alexander.

Sophia was drunk the night before, so she could not catch a good look at Claudius. Now that she was much more sober, she realized there were some differences between Claudius' face and Alexander's face.

Thus, after the solemn study of Claudius' face, Sophia no longer dared to be certain that Claudius was Alexander.

Katherine dropped the topic at Sophia's silence.

If Claudius was Alexander, that meant that Alexander was alive, and that was good news. However, Alexander's transformation into Claudius would not be a result of any simple event.

However, if Claudius was not Alexander, that would be hurtful news to Sophia.

Even though Katherine seemed like a rowdy person on most days, she was quite considerate and careful when it came to Sophia's matters.

A silent companion was what Sophia needed most at the moment.


The mall entrance had dedicated cars for hotel guests, and the two women quickly hailed one.

In no time, they were back at the hotel.

Once the car stopped, Sophia got out of the car and turned to Katherine. "Go ahead and have fun with Joshua. You don't need to worry about me. Enjoy your honeymoon."

"Sophia—"

Before Katherine could say anything else, she spotted Claudius' bodyguard, who was waiting by the hotel's doorway.

When Claudius' bodyguard saw Sophia coming out of the car, he started making his way toward Sophia. In stiff Chanaean, he said, "Ms. Yarrow, Mr. Claudius has sent me to take you upstairs."

Sophia glanced at the bodyguard and arched her brow. "Thank you."

A pause after, she continued in Ustranasion, "Are you from this country?"

Joe stopped speaking in Chanaean when he heard Sophia speaking in Ustranasion. "Yes, my parents migrated here decades ago. I was born here."

"Is that the case for Mr. Lenoir too?"

"Yes."

There were many people in the elevator, so Sophia stopped talking. Though, she did glance at Joe with a half-smile on her face.

Around seven seconds later, the elevator doors opened. Joe stepped out first to lead the way.

Sophia had come here the night before as well, but she was carried here by Claudius while she was unconscious, so naturally, she would not remember the way.

Soon, Joe came to a stop and knocked on the door for her. Then, he turned to face her and said, "Ms. Yarrow, Mr. Claudius is waiting for you inside."

"Okay, thank you."

Just as Sophia said that, someone opened the door.

It was Claudius. "Please come in."

The room layout was similar to Sophia's, but there were two floors for the room. Sophia guessed that the room was a reserved suite for personal use.

When she raked her gaze across the room, she stopped at the opened bottle of red wine on the bar counter.

"Would you like a drink?" Claudius asked as he walked over to get one of the glasses for her.

Sophia shook her head. "I have a low alcohol tolerance."

Claudius took a sip of the red wine and gazed at her for a few seconds. "Did you drink last night?"

"A glass of fruit wine."

"You're right. You can't hold your liquor," he mercilessly agreed.

Sophia sat down on the couch before heading straight to the point. "Mr. Lenoir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Was your friend's name Alexander Xenos?"

Sophia's hand that was clutching her phone shuddered.

Sophia indirectly agreed by saying, "You're smart, Mr. Lenoir."

Claudius tipped his head back to down his drink. Then, he walked over to Sophia and asked, "Was he your sweetheart, or was he your husband?"

"My sweetheart."

"I look a lot like him?"

"Mhm."

All of a sudden, Claudius leaned over until he was a hair's breadth away from her. With dark eyes fixed on her, he asked, "How much do I look like him?"

Sophia stared at his dark eyes in silence for a moment.

"Are we identical?" he asked when he heard nothing from Sophia.

You look too much like him.
