Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 469

Feeling bitter, Samuel looked at Sophia and asked, "Do you find me annoying, Sophia?"

Sophia chuckled. "Not at all. I think you're okay."

"So it's your problem, Alex. Sophia doesn't find me annoying," Samuel said.

Claudius glanced at Sophia and said calmly, "Maybe she just doesn't want to hurt your feelings."

Despite Claudius' memory loss and altered state from his previous self, his interactions with Samuel seemed to have transported them back to the time when they were the best of friends.

Even with his memory loss, some deeply ingrained habits seemed impossible for him to forget.

Samuel probably felt attacked. Alex might have lost his memory, but his sharp tongue remained as cutting as ever.

After dinner, Samuel decided to make a move, and Sophia accompanied Claudius back to the hotel.

Somehow, she felt that Claudius had an ulterior motive for returning to the country.

As she regained her composure, she turned around to face Claudius, who had just changed into fresh clothes and was walking toward her. "Why did you come back? What do you have in mind?"

Rose had mentioned that Claudius was in danger, yet he had decided to return to the country without his two bodyguards.

Claudius sat on the couch and glanced at her. "Nothing. I just needed to confirm something."

"Oh." Realizing that he did not wish to elaborate further, Sophia chose not to press the matter. She lowered her head to check the time on her wristwatch. "It's already past eight o'clock, and you've been on a plane for more than ten hours. You should rest now. I'll leave you alone."

"Sophia," Claudius called her when she was turning around.

Sophia stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. "Yes?"

"Will you still stay by my side even if I don't remember a thing about the past?"

Sophia froze for a moment. That's a tough question to answer.

She pressed her lips and kept mum for a few seconds. "I think so." A corner of her lips quirked up. "After all, you're still Alexander."

Claudius' eyes darkened. He stared at Sophia for a moment before saying, "I'll get the driver to send you back."

"All right."


Claudius got up and walked her to the door.

Sophia said, "I'm gonna go now. You get some rest."

"Goodnight." Claudius lowered his head and gave her forehead a gentle peck.

Sophia looked up and then flung her arms around his shoulders, rising onto her tiptoes to press a kiss to his thin lips.

His lips felt cool to the touch, imbued with a refreshing scent of lemon water he had just consumed.

Claudius froze for a moment before wrapping his arms around her waist, lowering his head, and deepening the kiss.

Memory might fade, but the body would always remember the familiar touch.

They were out of touch for more than half a year, but the intimate connection between them remained strong. As their lips met in a passionate kiss, they easily rekindled the flames of their desire.

If the elevator door had not suddenly opened, Sophia felt she would have lost control.

The sound of the elevator door opening instantly brought them back to their senses.

Sophia instinctively stepped back, but Claudius hooked his arm around her waist and swiftly pulled her into the room.

After kicking the door open, he carried her in his arms, brought her into the room, and closed the door in just a few seconds.

He pressed his back against the wall near the entrance while Sophia leaned against his chest. They were so close to each other that their breathing became more rapid.

Claudius adjusted the position of his body before reaching out to touch her cheek. "I've been having the same dream, Sophia."

Although he did not specify the dream, Sophia instantly understood what he was saying.

The topic that Claudius brought up, especially after that intimate moment just now, caused Sophia's face to flush.

Immediately, her legs and entire body followed suit, growing warm with desire.

The heat between her thighs was especially intense. She stood still and did not dare to move an inch.

Time ticked by before Claudius released her from his embrace.

"You should go home now," he uttered in a deep voice.

Sophia tilted her head and gazed into his eyes, which seemed to be burning with fire. With just one glance, Sophia felt as if she was being consumed by a fiery passion that burned within him.

Sophia's heart skipped a beat. She nodded and responded, "I'm gonna go now. Have a good rest."

"All right."

After sending her off, Claudius closed the half-opened door.

Now that Claudius was all alone, the room fell back into a peaceful stillness. He lowered his gaze and stared into the distance before closing his eyes. When he opened them again, they had turned cold.

Claudius walked into the room and picked up his phone. After finding Samuel's number he had saved earlier, he hit the call button.

Samuel was enthusiastically telling Charles and Justin about Claudius when he received the call.

He could not believe his eyes when he saw the caller on the screen. After picking up the phone, he asked Justin, "Can you check for me if that's Alex's number?"

Justin rolled his eyes. "Did you not realize you saved the number under 'Alex'?"

Samuel was elated. "Alex called me! I'm going to answer his call!"

Grabbing the phone, he ran out of the private room and found a quiet spot to answer the call. "Alex?"

Samuel was still not used to the name "Claudius," so he insisted on calling him Alexander.

"Are you free now? There are some questions I want to ask you. Come over to Silverstone Hotel, Room 1608, if you're available."

"Yes, of course! I'll be there in twenty minutes!"
