Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 497

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. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“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.

Sophia knew that Alexander and Samuel had a special relationship. Now that Alexander had returned to the country, it was only natural for Samuel, the son of the Schild family, to meet him.

“Oh,” Sophia responded. She then followed him to the car.

Sophia arrived at Odyssey exactly at half past one. The meeting was scheduled for two o'clock, so after briefly glancing at the documents, she headed straight to the meeting room.

After leaving Odyssey, Alexander drove directly to Corona. Since it was his first time going to Corona since the incident, the staff at Corona were taken aback when they saw him.

Although rumors that Alexander hadn't been involved in any incident and had simply gone abroad to explore overseas markets had been circulating three months ago, it was all hearsay. Since nobody had seen him in person, they only regarded it as a rumor.

After all, Alexander was the only one left in the Xenos family now. If he wanted to expand Odyssey internationally, it would be sufficient enough to send executives overseas. There was no need for Alexander himself to go, especially when he was gone for more than half a year without any news of

him.

Therefore, everyone was naturally surprised by his appearance.

Nonetheless, the staff at Corona were accustomed to serving prominent figures. They had been trained to stay calm and not let their surprise overwhelm them.

Alexander looked at the person before him coldly. “Which private room is Samuel in?”

Samuel had arrived earlier and had already given instructions to the staff. The staff, who recovered from his daze, quickly led Alexander inside.

Halfway down the corridor, Alexander already knew which private room Samuel was in.

It had been a while since Alexander had last visited, but he hadn't forgotten anything.

Soon, the staff stopped in his tracks. “Mr. Xenos, Mr. Schild is waiting for you inside.”

Nodding, he pushed the door open and entered the room.

In the private room, Samuel was still on the phone. When he saw Alexander enter, he paused for a moment before swiftly hanging up the call. “Alex, are you and Sophia really married?”

Alexander shot him a glare. “Forgery of marriage certificates is illegal.”

Samuel chuckled. “Okay. I guess it's true then. You said the same thing when you got divorced.”

Alexander fell silent, irritated by Samuel's unconstrained mouth.
