Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 475

Claudius seemed to have found the magic words because Sophia couldn't resist the temptation.

The temperature in the room continued to rise, and the initially quiet room was filled with sounds of heavy breathing.

After some time, the room became quiet once again.

The rain was still pattering on the window, and Sophia was listless when Claudius carried her out of the bathroom.

As soon as Claudius placed her on the bed, she immediately pulled the blanket over herself. A faint blush was visible on her face.

Seeing that, Claudius lowered his head and caressed her cheek. His dark eyes were filled with gentleness. "Take a nap, okay?"

Sophia turned to look outside the window. It was getting dark, so she said, "I'm feeling a little hungry."

"What would you like to have for dinner?"

"Let's just order takeout." Sophia lowered her gaze.

She was worn out, and she didn't have the mood to eat out.

Claudius nodded and stroked her cheek. "All right. Get some rest. I'll wake you up when the food arrives."

Sophia let out a yawn and glanced at Claudius. "Okay."

She was indeed exhausted. She fell into a deep slumber seconds after turning to the other side of the bed.

Claudius sat on the edge of the bed and watched Sophia fall asleep. Moments later, he left the master bedroom to order takeout on his phone.

He only realized he didn't have the mobile application for takeout after he unlocked his phone. Hence, he went back into the master bedroom to grab Sophia's phone.

Seeing that Sophia's phone was password-protected, Claudius instinctively keyed in a string of numbers.

His dark eyes flickered when he realized that he had unlocked the phone. Did I key in the correct password without knowing it? It seems like it was muscle memory, which I can't forget.

Putting away his thoughts, Claudius ordered a takeout meal.

Sophia didn't have a good night's sleep the night before, so she was sleeping soundly.

By the time she woke up, it was around seven in the evening. She couldn't see a thing because the lights weren't switched on, and the room was pitch black.

Having just woken up, Sophia was in a daze when she searched for her phone. She couldn't help

frowning when she realized her phone was missing.

She sat up on the bed and figured out what was going on. He must've used my phone to order takeout.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Claudius switched on the lights at once.

The lights were rather glaring, so Sophia instinctively raised her arms to shield her eyes. By then, Claudius had arrived beside her.

He sat down, gazed at her, and swept her fringe aside. "Are you awake?"

Sophia had just woken up, and she was still blushing. She nodded in response after taking a glance at Claudius.

Claudius tapped the corner of her eye and said, "Dinner's here. Let's head downstairs to eat."

Sophia nodded, got out of bed, and followed Claudius to the second floor.

Claudius had ordered pasta and salad, and the amount of food was just nice for the two of them.

They finished eating at around eight, and since Sophia had taken a nap earlier, she wasn't feeling as lethargic as before.

Cupping her face in her hands, she gazed at Claudius. "Tomorrow is your grandpa's death anniversary."

Sophia didn't know Beau well because Beau had passed away three years before she married into the

Xenos family.

Despite that, Sophia knew Beau meant a lot to Alexander.

Since Zachary was a terrible father, Alexander grew up with Beau by his side. Over the years, Beau was most probably the only person who had been kind toward Alexander.

Before Alexander lost his memories, he would visit Beau's grave every year and hang around for a few hours every time he visited.

Sophia was hoping that although Alexander had lost his memories, he would still visit Beau's grave during Beau's death anniversary.

She didn't want Alexander to feel remorseful once he had regained his memories and found out that he had missed out on visiting Beau's grave.

Claudiu's eyes gleamed when he heard what Sophia said. "Okay."

It was April in Jadeborough, and it was experiencing a continuous spring shower. Sophia woke up that morning to find that it was still drizzling outside.

The room was still rather dim after Sophia had drawn the curtains. She stood in front of the window, lost in her thoughts. Moments later, she went to the bathroom to wash up.

Claudius was already awake, and he was no longer in the room.

Sophia only saw him after she was done washing up.

"Breakfast is ready." Claudius walked up to her and helped her brush her hair around her collar.

Claudius' fingers were cold, and Sophia shivered when he brushed his fingers across her neck.

Sophia raised her head and met Claudius' dark gaze. Right away, her earlobes turned slightly red, and the amorous atmosphere lingered between the two of them.

Sophia retracted her gaze and went downstairs.

When she arrived at the dining table, she was stunned to see that Claudius had made them breakfast. Ever since Alexander disappeared, I never had breakfast at home. It has been a long time since I ate a meal Alexander prepared.

"What's on your mind?" Claudius served Sophia a bowl of oatmeal.

Sophia finally snapped out of her dazed state when she heard those words. Upon lifting her head to look at him, she smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing."

Instead of questioning further, Claudius merely glanced at her and said, "Let's eat."

They both woke up early that morning and finished breakfast before nine. Coincidentally, that was the rush hour.

Sophia called Felix and told him to postpone her morning meeting to the afternoon.

It was almost nine when she hung up the phone. She turned around and saw Claudius looking back at her. She smiled and said, "Let's go."

Claudius nodded. "Sure."

The cemetery was an hour and a half away from the mansion. By the time they arrived at the entrance of the cemetery, it was thirty minutes past ten.

It was still raining at that time, so Claudius alighted from the vehicle and walked over to Sophia's side while holding an umbrella. He opened the door for her and waited patiently as she got out.

Due to the rain, there were fewer vendors at the entrance of the cemetery. For the sake of livelihood, a couple of vendors were still selling flowers under their umbrellas at the entrance.

Sophia turned to Claudius and said, "Old Mr. Xenos loved gladioli. But since they don't sell gladioli here, we'll just get a bouquet of white chrysanthemums." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Claudius lowered his head to glance at her. "Sure."

The two bought the flowers and entered the cemetery.
