Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 572

Upon hearing what Heath said, Charlotte knew she didn't have any other options. Heath's offer might be my only way out.

“I can't get close to Alexander, though,” Charlotte said. Alexander's secretary is a capable man. There's no way I can get close to Alexander.

“Don't worry. That won't be a problem.” Heath chuckled.

With that, he hung up the phone.

Charlotte stared at her phone and lifted her gaze to look at the lights shining brightly inside the mansion. In the end, she pursed her lips and left.

Sophia went to the balcony when the sky turned dark. When she looked down, she noticed that Charlotte was no longer there.

Since it was a cold night, Sophia merely raised her brows and went back inside the mansion.

Right then, Alexander had just served the last dish he made, so Sophia went to wash her hands and sat down at the dining table.

Alexander had been cooking at home frequently, and his cooking skills had improved massively.

He made pasta and salad that day. Knowing that Sophia was more into lighter dishes, he downloaded an application on his phone to look for dishes he could make.

Sophia had a good appetite that night, and she ended up eating more than she did during lunch.

After dinner, Alexander took his coat and brought Sophia to the garden for a walk.

The warm lights in the garden were shining from above, forming elongated shadows as they walked.

The couple was living the life most could only wish for.

Alexander had returned to Odyssey recently, but he was only there to settle some important matters. Apart from that, he would let Felix deal with the rest.


Apparently, Odyssey had a mega project that was having issues with the approval process. Hence, Alexander had to attend a dinner the following night to iron things out.

During the dinner, Alexander's clients were drinking heavily, while he only had a bit to drink. After all, he had to look after his reputation that evening.

His clients didn't have any issue with that because they had to respect Alexander and the Dawson family.

Over two hours later, at around nine that night, they were finally done with dinner.

When Alexander walked out of the private room, a server ran into him and spilled wine all over his arms and shirt.

The server knew he was in hot water, so with his pale face, he apologized profusely.

Felix, who was standing nearby, didn't dare to utter a single word. Instead, he glanced at Alexander and saw the frown on the latter's face. Surprisingly, Alexander merely waved the server away and said, “Go on with your work. Be more careful after this.”

“Thank you, Mr. Xenos! Thank you, Mr. Xenos!”

The server was thanking Alexander as he was retreating. Meanwhile, Alexander's hands and sleeves were drenched, and he was irked.

Alexander then turned toward his clients and said, “Mr. Long, Mr. Lang, please excuse me. I need to go to the restroom.”

With that, Alexander ordered Felix, “Mr. Lane, please send Mr. Long and Mr. Lang off.”

“Yes, Mr. Xenos,” Felix replied before turning toward the clients. “Mr. Long, Mr. Lang, this way.”

Alexander's clients went along with it because they knew what happened to Alexander was purely an accident.

After exchanging some pleasantries, the clients left with Felix.

Alexander went to the restroom and washed the wine off of the back of his hands. Unfortunately, the stains on his white shirt were worse than he thought. In fact, droplets of wine were still dripping down from his sleeves.

With a frown, Alexander stretched his arm toward the tap and rinsed his sleeves with tap water.

Since he couldn't rinse off the wine stains on the other parts of his shirt, he simply used a napkin to dab the wine stains off. After that, he dried his shirt under the blow dryer and left the restroom.

Soon after he left the restroom, someone bumped into Alexander once again.

This time around, it was a drunk lady. Alexander's face fell, and he shoved the lady aside.

The lady crashed hard into the wall and staggered a few steps forward. She seemed to have sobered up when she lifted her head to look at Alexander. “I'm so sorry. Oh? M-Mr. Xenos?”

That lady was none other than the lady who was standing in front of the mansion, Charlotte.

Alexander's expression grew even darker when he saw her.

Needless to say, Charlotte wasn't drunk at all. She couldn't help but gulp in fear when she saw the look on Alexander's face. I can't be scared now. The trial will begin in eight days. If I keep wasting my time, I'll truly be doomed!

Upon recalling what Heath said, Charlotte shut her eyes, gritted her teeth, and went all out. “Oh, Mr. Xenos. I-I'm so sorry. It was an accident!”

She then twirled her hair with her finger and opened her teary eyes. As she did that, her tight dress was slightly raised as she lifted her hand, exposing her thighs.
