Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 625 Help Me

After a short walk, they soon arrived at the car. Alexander opened the car door, allowing Sophia to get in first.

She hurriedly got into the car, concerned that Alexander might catch a cold after he had given her his coat to shield her from the cold wind.

The inside of the car felt noticeably warmer compared to the chilly outside.

After fastening her seatbelt, Sophia reached out and held Alexander’s hand. Although his hand felt warmer than hers, she could sense that he was still a bit chilly.

Sophia handed him his coat back and said, “Hurry, put this on.”

Alexander turned to look at her while turning on the heater. After putting the coat on, he deliberately asked, “Didn’t you say you’re not cold?”

Upon hearing his question, Sophia subconsciously withdrew her hand from him. Although she hadn’t felt cold when she first stepped out, the wind had picked up, and she began to feel its chill after walking a few steps.

Observing her silence, Alexander refrained from saying anything further. He then raised his hand to gently pinch her cheek before starting the car.

Since Sophia became pregnant, it had become his habit to drive cautiously, never exceeding the speed limit of a hundred.

During rush hour, the city streets were teeming with cars. Alexander drove at a slower speed to ensure Sophia wouldn’t feel queasy. As a result of his cautious approach, even in congested areas, it was difficult to notice any significant slowdown or stoppage of the car.

During the car ride, the warm and cozy atmosphere enveloped Sophia, making her feel a little drowsy.

It was already past nine o’clock when they finally reached home. Sophia was usually in bed around ten, so she quickly went inside to freshen up. As she emerged, she noticed Alexander was on the phone, dealing with work matters.

Odyssey was collaborating with Fortuna on a large project this year. Only Sophia and Felix were aware of Alexander’s connection with Fortuna.

Hence, even if Alexander wanted to evade his responsibilities, he found himself unable to do so.

When Sophia noticed Alexander was on the phone, she tiptoed over to him and playfully covered his eyes from behind.

As she emerged fresh out of the shower, her body still radiated warmth, accompanied by a subtle scent of shower gel. With her close proximity, Alexander could distinctly smell her fragrance.

Moreover, as his sense of sight was momentarily impaired, his sense of smell seemed to intensify.

Unfazed, he removed her hand covering his eyes and gently held it in his own. Giving her palm a slight squeeze with his thumb, he turned to look at her.

“Arrange the schedule for next week,” Alexander instructed before ending the call with Felix.

Although she couldn’t hear Felix’s reply on the other end, Sophia summoned a guess based on Alexander’s response. “Are you going on a business trip?”

The man turned to her and said, “Some of the shareholders from Fortuna are concerned about the collaboration with Odyssey. We’ll make a trip there next week.”

Sophia immediately raised an eyebrow and clarified, “We?”

He turned and lifted her up before responding casually, “Yes.”

Sophia glanced at him and scoffed, “I hope ‘we’ does not mean you and me, Mr. Xenos.”

After gently laying her on the bed, Alexander propped both his hands on either side of her, their noses almost touching as he locked eyes with her. “We haven’t even gone on our honeymoon yet. Why don’t you treat this as one?”

He gently played with her long hair by wrapping it around his fingers and fiddling with it.

“Well, you better ask if the baby agrees.” Sophia chuckled.

She gestured toward her stomach, where a slight bump was starting to form from her four-month pregnancy. However, it was barely noticeable and more prominent when touched. When fully dressed, one couldn’t tell she was pregnant at all.

Alexander followed her gaze and looked down, his large hand resting on her belly through her nightgown. “He’s still small, so he doesn’t have a say.”

Leaning over slightly, he gazed at her lips with an affectionate and mischievous look dancing in his eyes.

Sophia could feel her cheeks burn when she noticed his gaze shift to her lips. Slightly bashful, she hurriedly tried to change the subject. “How many days are we going for?”

He took a step back, his gaze lingering on her lips as his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. “Up to you. You get to decide.”

After a short pause, he continued, “Do you mind if I give you a kiss?”

She burst into laughter, amused by his sudden politeness. Since when did he become such a gentleman that he actually asks for permission to kiss me?

The corners of her eyes crinkled as she beamed, and she leaned forward to kiss him on his lips. “Is one kiss sufficient?”

The man remained silent and raised an eyebrow, his gaze darkening.

Sophia tightened her arms around his neck, gently pulling him down closer, and tenderly planted a kiss on top of his eye.

It was a gentle kiss, but it carried a passionate charge that ignited a tingling sensation throughout their bodies.
