Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 498

It was rare for Samuel to see Alexander looking so deflated. Now that Alexander had been rendered speechless by him, Samuel could not help but raise his brows and smirk. “You should remember that since you have regained your memory.”

It was true. Alexander did say that, but when he heard Samuel mention it, he was annoyed.

He looked at Samuel coldly and asked, “Is there anything else?”

If there was nothing, he was going to leave.

Strictly speaking, this was their first time being able to catch up with each other since Alexander's incident. The moment Samuel heard his question, he dared not tease him anymore. After all, when Alexander said he would leave, he definitely would.

Samuel cleared his throat and sat back down. “Have you really regained your memory?”

Two months ago, Alexander had told him that he could not remember anything. In fact, Alexander had asked him things about Sophia.

Alexander threw a scornful look at the wine that was on the table before replying in contempt, “No. Perhaps, you can tell me how Sophia knows about the rings in the condominium.”

The instant Alexander mentioned that matter, Samuel felt guilty and looked away. Samuel then tried to change the topic. “I heard that the two nephews of Mdm. Lenoir are quite difficult to deal with. How are things at Moranta?”

Alexander cast a glance in Samuel's direction and decided not to question him about his betrayal. He stood up, walked to the nearby fridge, and took a bottle of water. “I'm almost done.”

Samuel looked at the bottle of expensive wine on his table and the bottle of water in Alexander's hand. He wondered why Alexander preferred the water over the wine.

Samuel could not help but sing praises about the wine. “This is good wine.”

Alexander took a sip of the water and looked at Samuel indifferently. “Later, I'll be fetching my wife.”

Samuel, who had yet to come to his senses, said, “Who's your wife? Didn't you and Sophia just...”

Halfway through, realization dawned on Samuel, and he looked at Alexander, speechless.

He's trying to force this lovey-dovey thing down my throat!

Seeing that Samuel had come to his senses, Alexander continued, “I can't drink and drive.”

Samuel was stumped.

That's enough. I know you are married!

Samuel believed that Alexander had regained his memory as the latter was his usual hurtful self again.

Samuel kept quiet for a while before asking, “Now that Sophia and you are married, are you planning on staying here for good?”

“No.”

Samuel could not help but make a sound of disapproval. “So, both of you plan to have a long-distance relationship?”

Alexander stared at Samuel as if he was an idiot. “I still need to go back and sort things out.”

Bruce and Truce were no longer threats, but he had to deal with UI as Rose had put much effort into the organization. Although Alexander did not want to have control over UI, he still accepted it because of Rose's kindness to Sophia when she was still alive. Since he had chosen to accept it, he would naturally ensure UI's success.

Alexander had spent close to three months setting a trap for Bruce and Truce. In the end, he managed to take them down in one fell swoop. Even though the greatest problem of UI had been resolved, there were still other minor issues that Alexander had to see to.

Upon processing what Alexander said, Samuel was happy again. “Does that mean that you will be in Jadeborough from now on?”

Alexander raised his brows and asked, “What's wrong? Am I not welcome in Jadeborough?”

“What... If you dare to, say this in front of Charles and the others.”

“There's no need for smart people to talk so much.”

Once again, Samuel had been hit by his sarcasm and was rendered speechless.

Alexander is literally forcing me to cut ties with him! Forget it. Since he had lost his memory in the past, I will be kind and not be calculative with him as his brain might not be as fine as before.

Samuel controlled himself and changed the topic again. “Do you intend to hand UI over to someone else?”

Alexander widened his eyes in confusion. “Is the Internet not convenient enough?”

We can hold meetings online anytime we want to, no?

Samuel felt like a fool. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Alexander ask, “Do you know Beatrix Houghton?”

The quick change of topic caught Samuel off guard. “I do. She's my fiancée.”

“Oh, I heard that she bullied my wife in the past.”

“Uh... I don't think it counts as bullying.”

Beatrix was a fussy person. That day, the two women had a misunderstanding, and Beatrix said some awful stuff.

Furthermore, given Sophia's character, nobody could ever bully her.

Obviously, Samuel did not dare to utter his thoughts in front of Alexander.

If he said it out loud, Alexander would surely kill him.

Alexander snickered and said, “There are so many women who are suitable to be your wife. The Houghton family isn't your only option. Why don't you marry someone else other than Beatrix?”

He paused for a while before continuing, “It's better to find someone you like when it comes to marriage.”

Samuel found those words very familiar. “Since when do you say things like that?”

“Weren't you the one who said that before?”

Samuel thought about it. It was true. Back when Alexander and Sophia got married, Samuel had told Alexander the same thing.

Samuel shot Alexander a glance and felt a little guilty. “You're right. I'll call off my engagement with the Houghton family.”

Alexander took a drink of his water and said nonchalantly, “That's your call.”

Looking at Alexander, Samuel felt like punching him, but he dared not. Even if he dared to, he was no match for Alexander.

Forget it. He has hit his head before. Perhaps, his brain isn't working.

Samuel rubbed his nose. “When are you going back to Moranta? Both Charles and Justin want to meet you.”

It had been a while since the four men last met up with one another.

“Maybe next time. I'm not free at the moment.”

Samuel let out a snort. “Why are you in such a hurry to go? You're leaving so soon after registering your marriage with Sophia? You're such a scumbag, Alex!”

Alexander retorted, “Who told you I'm in a hurry to get back?”

“Then why are you not free?”

“Because I have just gotten married. I want to keep my wife company.”

Samuel was dumbstruck.

He had miscalculated. Alexander was a ruthless man.

Alexander's reason made it difficult for a bachelor like Samuel to retort. After all, Samuel did say Alexander would be a scumbag if he left so soon after registering his marriage with Sophia.

Samuel could not help but let out a sigh. “All right then. When is the next time that you will be back?”

“You'll know when I'm back.”

What! Looks like Alexander needs a beating.

Alexander checked his watch and said, “Is there anything else? If not, I'll make a move now. I'm going to fetch my wife, and we're going out for dinner.”

He kept mentioning his wife, and Samuel could not take it anymore. Initially, Samuel wanted to ask him about something else, but he changed his mind because he refused to be humiliated again. “Nothing. You can go now.”

Go fetch your wife!

“Okay.”

With that, Alexander put his water down and turned around.

Looking at his retreating figure, Samuel called out, “Hey! You—” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Before he could finish his sentence, Alexander opened the private room door and left.

Samuel had wanted to ask Alexander when he would be returning to Moranta.

Get lost then!
