Being Pursued By Ex-husband

It was about twenty minutes until noon when the car stopped in front of Mirage. Sophia and Alexander could be considered celebrities in this city. As soon as they arrived at the entrance, a waiter was already assigned to take them to a private room.

The private room had been booked by Alexander through Felix the day before. It was a VIP room located on the third floor.

Alexander and Sophia were early. The Dawsons hadn't arrived yet.

After the waiter led them to the entrance of the private room, he opened the door and gestured for them to enter. “Mr. Xenos, Ms. Yarrow, please.”

“Thank you.”

With a polite smile, Sophia followed Alexander and stepped into the room.

After putting down her bag, she asked, “What time did you arrange for the meeting to be?”

Alexander glanced at her as he shifted the tea that the waiter had brought to the side. “Twelve o'clock.”

Sophia nodded in response. Then, she took out her phone to reply to Katherine's message.

Yesterday, Katherine deliberately led Sophia to the condominium with a rather convincing performance to help Alexander carry out his proposal.

When Sophia woke up early this morning, she received a bunch of messages from Katherine. Ignoring the quirky emojis and irrelevant questions, she only answered a few of Katherine's inquiries.

After hesitating for a moment, Sophia told Katherine about her marriage registration before setting off to City Hall.

After sending the message, Katherine didn't reply. There had been no response from her until just now.

Sophia took out her phone and saw that Katherine had sent her more than ten messages with a series of emojis representing shock and disbelief. Finally, seemingly unable to believe it, she asked: Are you really married to Alexander now?

Sophia glanced at her newly issued red marriage certificate inside her bag and smiled lightly. Then, she swiftly took a photo of the certificate and sent it to Katherine.

“What are you doing?”

Just as Sophia finished sending the photo, Alexander suddenly approached.

Feeling inexplicably guilty, she glanced at him and shook her head. “Nothing, I'm just replying to Katherine's message.”

Alexander glanced at Sophia's phone and noticed the photo she had just sent.

His dark eyes flickered as he reached out and took the marriage certificate from Sophia's hand. “Let me use it for three seconds.”

Then, he placed it on the table in front of him and blocked any important information before taking a photo.

After that, Alexander sent it to his group chat with Samuel and Charles along with the caption: I'm married.

Then, Alexander casually handed the marriage certificate back to Sophia. “Done.”

As he put the certificate back in Sophia's hand, he couldn't help raising his hand and gently touching her head the moment he looked into her smiling eyes. “Keep it safe, Mrs. Xenos.”

Upon hearing how he addressed her, Sophia blushed shyly.

As she put the marriage certificate back into her bag, her phone screen flickered nonstop with Katherine's bombarding messages.

Amused by Katherine's exaggerated reaction, Sophia was about to pick up her phone to reply when the door of the private room was opened. The waiter led Perrin and Kylie inside.

Due to a business trip, Kasper couldn't make it to Jadeborough yesterday to witness Alexander's proposal to Sophia. As a government official, Lukas couldn't take time off work either. After Alexander proposed to Sophia yesterday, Lukas took the early morning flight back to Doveston straightaway.

Therefore, only Perrin and Kylie were present at the meal today.

Perrin had been to Jadeborough before and had dined at Mirage. The last time he was in Doveston, he couldn't stand Alexander at all.

That day, Perrin didn't find Alexander too pleasing either.

However, so much had happened in the past ten months. After Alexander went missing, Sophia became increasingly dejected. Now that Sophia and Alexander could finally have a happy ending, Perrin could only let go of his dissatisfaction with Alexander and accept him.

After all, he knew that Alexander was probably the only man Sophia would love in this lifetime.

With these thoughts in Perrin's mind, his attitude toward Alexander was much better compared to last time.

Kylie wasn't as hostile toward Alexander as Perrin was. Sophia hadn't been doing well over the past six months, but now that Alexander had returned, Sophia was visibly happier. Since the two of them obtained their marriage certificates that day and were now legally married, Kylie's attitude toward Alexander had also softened because of her love for Sophia.

Overall, it was quite a joyful lunch.

After lunch, Perrin went to meet up with his comrades while Kylie went to meet a good friend whom she hadn't seen in over a year for afternoon tea. Since Sophia had an important meeting in the afternoon, Alexander was the only one with nothing to do.

When the Dawsons arrived, Felix had already arranged a chauffeur and a car for Perrin and Kylie thoughtfully. After lunch, they went their separate ways outside Mirage.

Sophia watched Perrin's car until it disappeared from sight. Only then did she withdraw her gaze and turn to Alexander. Smiling lightly, she asked, “Are you going back to catch up on sleep?”

Alexander took her hand directly. “I'll drive you to Odyssey.”

Sophia caught the underlying meaning in his words and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. “Then?”

“I'm going to meet Samuel,” Alexander replied.
