Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Sophia didn't particularly enjoy cotton candy. Hence, she didn't eat much of it after walking around for a while. What Alexander bought was a piece of cute, rabbit-shaped cotton candy. It attracted plenty of attention as Sophia wandered the street.

The weather was sweltering, so the cotton candy started melting a little. It made her hand very sticky. After having a few bites of it, she didn't want to eat it anymore.

Suddenly, she saw a couple ambling toward them, and the girlfriend was also holding cotton candy. However, that couple shared and almost finished the cotton candy together.

When Sophia saw that, she glimpsed at Alexander.

Upon noticing her stare, Alexander turned to her. “What's the matter?”

Smiling, she lifted the cotton candy to his lips. “I'm getting a little sick of it.”

Alexander arched his eyebrow slightly before taking a bite of the cotton candy.

Knowing that he also disliked sweets, she didn't push him to finish the whole thing alone. Instead, they took turns gobbling it.

Just like that, they finished eating the cotton candy that was almost melted.

Aside from couples, there were also young men and women in traditional clothing on the street, which Sophia thought looked great.

More people flooded into Lovebirds Street as the clock ticked past four.

“Are you hungry?” asked Alexander.

Upon hearing that, Sophia offered him the snack in her hand.

They had been eating random snacks since their journey started at the beginning of the street. Hence, she was feeling quite full.

Alexander kept buying a little bit of everything whenever something caught his eye. However, he'd only take a few bites of them. Sophia disliked wasting food, so she'd try to eat as much as she could before tossing them away.

Just as they chatted, a woman in green traditional clothing abruptly approached them. “I'm the owner of a nearby traditional clothing shop. Both you and your boyfriend are stunning, so I wonder if you'd be interested in helping me advertise my store. In return, you'll be granted an unlimited photoshoot package thrice yearly. What do you think?”

The shop owner knew at first glance that neither Sophia nor Alexander was an ordinary folk, which was why she was willing to propose such a generous offer.

Smiling, Sophia politely replied, “I'm sorry, but we're meeting with friends right now.”

“How about another day? Another day is fine...” the store owner suggested. I've never seen a couple as dazzling as them before! I can't just let this opportunity slip away!

In response, Sophia glanced at Alexander and arched her eyebrow. “I'm sorry, but my husband's busy.”

Not once did Alexander utter a word during that exchange.

The store owner couldn't help but turn to Alexander. Just as she was about to say something, she realized he had been staring at Sophia the whole time and never once paid any attention to her. Fine. I guess I'll back off. Honestly, I shouldn't have tortured myself with sights of lovey-dovey couples by coming out today.

“In that case, I apologize for disturbing you two. Oh yeah, if you're still interested, you can come here alone or with your friends. We still won't charge you!”

Afraid that Sophia wouldn't accept the advertisement booklet, the store owner stuffed it into the former's hand. Then, she lifted her dress and trotted into her shop.

Just as she arrived inside, she was surrounded by her employees. “How did it go? Did the lady agree to your proposal?”

The store owner sighed. “No. Honestly, I shouldn't have even hoped it would work because they clearly weren't ordinary folks. Earlier, I saw the watch on her wrist. It was Lucent's custom-made Starlight from three years ago. Usually, you can choose the watch face and strap, but even then, the normal version will still cost over three hundred thousand. I've never seen the color and image on her dial before. Hence, it must've been custom-made. I estimate it's worth at least twice as much as the original version.” If she can wear a watch that costs at least over six hundred thousand so casually, it's hard to tell how much their clothes are worth in total. I should've known it was impossible for us to invite affluent individuals like them to our humble shop.

When the employees heard that, they appeared disappointed. “She's so pretty, though, especially her eyes. She would've looked magnificent in our latest clothing!”

Once again, the store owner glanced at Sophia and sighed. “I bet someone as pretty as she already works in some agency. She's truly a gem.”

Meanwhile, Sophia only shifted her sight away after watching the store owner return to her shop.

Moments later, she flipped through the booklet in her hand. Their traditional clothing is rather exquisite, and the booklet's design is pleasing to the eye, too. I don't think I can throw it away now.

Upon recalling how the store owner left with disappointment, Sophia grinned. In the end, she put the booklet in her bag.

At six in the evening, the number of shoppers on the street had doubled compared to noon.

There were people everywhere, and the couple was basically pushed around by the crowd.

Alexander pulled Sophia into his embrace as they reached to the end of the street and visited a nearby Jetroinian restaurant.

The restaurant was full, much like every other restaurant nearby. Since they didn't make a reservation, they had no choice but to wait for their turn.

Fortunately, there weren't many people ahead of them, so they would get a table pretty soon.

“I need to visit the restroom,” said Sophia.

In response, Alexander rose. “I'll accompany you.”
