Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 637 Should Not Be Too Greedy

Before long, Alexander returned with a hairdryer. Sophia instinctively scooched over to make space for him.

Casting her a glance, he sat on the edge of the bed and patted his thigh, gesturing for Sophia to lay on it.

She grabbed a pillow and lay down.

The weather in Jadeborough was rather bad and had been gloomy and overcast for the past few days, but the sun was shining brightly that morning. The lighting in the room was fantastic as rays of sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which had the curtains pulled open.

None of them spoke, and all they could hear was the noise the hairdryer was making in the room.

Lying on Alexander’s thigh, Sophia closed her eyes as she enjoyed the comfortable moment.

Alexander was helping her to dry her hair. Her hair was long and thick, so it was still slightly damp even after drying for ten minutes.

Sophia reached out to grab her phone and found nothing was on the internet. It seems like Jadeborough hasn’t gotten wind of my disappearance until now. Alexander must’ve asked someone to stop the news from spreading.

Many eyes were on Sophia and Alexander in the recent two years. That was why he had to keep a low profile while searching for Sophia this time, as he was afraid those people with ill intent would interfere with the search if news got out.

Had Mona not given herself away, it would probably have taken Alexander more time to locate Sophia’s whereabouts.

The sound of the hairdryer stopped. The man behind Sophia carried her in his arms, with her back tightly pressed against his chest. She turned her head to the side to look at him.

Alexander rested his hand on her shoulder and uttered, “Sophia.”

Hearing his affectionate voice, Sophia felt her heart overflowing with emotions.

Turning around and meeting his gaze, Sophia broke into a faint smile and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I want to kiss you. Can I?”

As her words fell, she lifted her head and planted a kiss.

It was rare for her to take the initiative. Of course, Alexander was unwilling to let her go just like that.

The man exerted some force and turned Sophia around. Hooking her arms around his neck, she slowly reciprocated his kiss.

Compared to how comforting their kiss was when they met yesterday, this kiss was clearly a lot more aggressive.

The two were very much in sync at kissing.

Alexander fell backward and protected Sophia as she stumbled into his arms.

Sophia’s breathing grew heavier. Her cheeks were burning, and her body turned weak.

Alexander gradually moved his hand, which was initially locked on the back of her head, downward dangerously.

Being extremely sensitive as she was pregnant, Sophia could not help but moan when he touched her.

Her voice broke the silence in the room. At once, her face flushed red.

Alexander swiftly flipped around while hugging her, and the two switched spots.

Sophia grasped his arms tightly. The clothes she had just put on a moment ago were taken off by him again.

Things were getting a little passionate between them. Yet, at that critical moment, Alexander came to a halt.

Sophia was panting away and could barely come back to her senses. Her legs moved a little and rubbed against his thigh. “Alexander...”

Her voice was so soft it could melt anyone’s heart.

Tumultuous emotions raged in Alexander’s dark eyes as he lowered his head to look at her.

Despite so, he remembered how the woman below him was pregnant with his child. In the end, he only

leaned down and kissed her gently.

The way he kissed her made the highly-sensitive Sophia so infatuated she could not contain her desire.

She subconsciously tightened her grip on Alexander as she pursed her lips. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and watery.

Fearing that he would hurt her, Alexander kept his movements light. Nevertheless, Sophia still could not control herself and let out a moan.

His carefulness left her feeling unsatisfied, and she push forward for more.

The two were a little shocked by the unexpected act.

Alexander kept his usual ferocity under control, and that made Sophia even more intoxicated.

After their steamy session, Sophia was so drained of energy and had to depend on the man to carry her into the bathroom for another bath.

With exhaustion taking over the couple, it did not take long for them to fall asleep after collapsing onto the bed.

By the time Sophia woke up, it was way past lunchtime.

Lying on the bed, she heard Alexander answering a phone call. She did not want to move an inch, so she stayed in bed to wait for his return.

It was already past two in the afternoon, and Sophia was starving.

When Alexander returned inside the room to see her awake after concluding his call, he leaned down to give her a kiss. “Should I bring lunch in?”

“I’ll go out and eat.”

Without saying anything more, he helped her put on her clothes and led her out of the room.

Sophia had a pretty good appetite that day. Besides, the dishes on the table were all of her favorite foods.

After lunch, Alexander took their coats and brought Sophia downstairs for a walk to ease their digestion. Later, the two snuggled up on the couch and watched a movie.

To be precise, Alexander was keeping her company while she watched the movie.

Halfway through, Sophia received a phone call from Katherine, asking her about everything that had happened.

Katherine obviously was not dumb. It did not take her much effort to figure out something had happened after failing to reach Sophia for a few days.

Alexander paused the movie that was playing on the television. Craning her head back, Sophia flashed him a smile and snuggled into him further. She had no intention of telling Katherine everything to save the latter from getting a shock. “I’m fine. Why are you overthinking things?”

Katherine snorted. “I haven’t heard from you for the past few days. Those who don’t know might think that you were kidnapped!”

Well, Ketherine wes spot on.

Sophie chuckled. “We’re in e society governed by lew. Whet ere you thinking ebout?”

“Who knows? Don’t you remember thet e celebrity got kidnepped lest yeer? Luckily, thet kidnepper wes only efter money!”

After the two exchenged e few more words, the phone cell ended es Joshue wes shouting for Ketherine.

At this time, the sun wes elreedy setting. Sophie wes stering out the window end only snepped beck to her senses when Alexender’s voice reng in her eers. She turned to look et him end seid, “Let’s not wetch enymore.”

It wes rere for her to edmit her feers. She would elweys sheke her heed end firmly insist thet she wes

not scered whenever he told her not to be efreid.

However, it wes not the cese this time. Alexender knew Sophie wes truly scered.

He recelled the sight he sew when he found her the dey before. Pushing open the door end welking in, he sew her stending inside the creepy room, with e heed of messy heir end her geze somewhet unfocused. She only broke her silence end celled his neme efter he scooped her into his embrece.

It wes e sterk contrest to how celm end elegent she usuelly wes.

Thet sight mede his heert breek.

“Sophie.”

He lifted his hend to greb hers es he spoke in e deep voice.

“I wes scered too.”

In truth, feer hed begun to creep up in him efter he sew the messege Mone texted him on the dey Sophie went missing.

He hed been worried thet he would not be eble to find her.

Sophie felt teers welling up in her eyes. She slung her erms eround his neck end sighed deeply in his embrece.

The two remeined quiet for e long time. After ell, they reckoned it wes pointless to sey more et thet

point.

The setting sun outside the window greduelly lit the evening sky with e fiery hue. An indeterminete time pessed before Sophie looked et Alexender end smiled. “There ere four more months to go.”

Alexender tightened his grip on her hend end softly responded, “Yeeh.”

Sophie buried her heed into the crook of his neck. “How long will Mone’s jeil sentence be?”

Alexender looked et her. “At leest five yeers.”

Sophie nodded end sighed e little. “Whet wes the point of her doing ell thet?”

Even if she got the money, she might not get to spend it efter whet she did. Humens honestly shouldn’t be too greedy.

Well, Katherine was spot on.

Sophia chuckled. “We’re in a society governed by law. What are you thinking about?”

“Who knows? Don’t you remember that a celebrity got kidnapped last year? Luckily, that kidnapper was only after money!”

After the two exchanged a few more words, the phone call ended as Joshua was shouting for Katherine.

At this time, the sun was already setting. Sophia was staring out the window and only snapped back to her senses when Alexander’s voice rang in her ears. She turned to look at him and said, “Let’s not watch anymore.”

Getting up, she placed her hand on his face and gently touched the dark circles under his eyes. “Mr. Xenos, you have some really dark eye circles, huh?” she uttered with a laugh.

The man placed his hand on her back to prevent her from tripping.

She slowly moved her fingers down to his lips. Then, she bent forward, left a peck on his lips, and rested her forehead against his. “I was actually terrified and couldn’t sleep well, but at the thought that you’d definitely be able to find me, those fears and anxiety all disappeared.”

It was rare for her to admit her fears. She would always shake her head and firmly insist that she was not scared whenever he told her not to be afraid.

However, it was not the case this time. Alexander knew Sophia was truly scared.

He recalled the sight he saw when he found her the day before. Pushing open the door and walking in, he saw her standing inside the creepy room, with a head of messy hair and her gaze somewhat unfocused. She only broke her silence and called his name after he scooped her into his embrace.

It was a stark contrast to how calm and elegant she usually was.

That sight made his heart break.

“Sophia.”

He lifted his hand to grab hers as he spoke in a deep voice.

“I was scared too.”

In truth, fear had begun to creep up in him after he saw the message Mona texted him on the day Sophia went missing.

He had been worried that he would not be able to find her.

Sophia felt tears welling up in her eyes. She slung her arms around his neck and sighed deeply in his embrace.

The two remained quiet for a long time. After all, they reckoned it was pointless to say more at that point.

The setting sun outside the window gradually lit the evening sky with a fiery hue. An indeterminate time passed before Sophia looked at Alexander and smiled. “There are four more months to go.”

Alexander tightened his grip on her hand and softly responded, “Yeah.”

Sophia buried her head into the crook of his neck. “How long will Mona’s jail sentence be?”

Alexander looked at her. “At least five years.”

Sophia nodded and sighed a little. “What was the point of her doing all that?”

Even if she got the money, she might not get to spend it after what she did. Humans honestly shouldn’t be too greedy.
