Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 77

In the boxing gym, Samuel finally lost it when Alexander threw him over his shoulder for the seventh time. He collapsed onto the mat and pretended to be dead.

Meanwhile, Alexander's depression had greatly diminished after practicing with Samuel for some time.

Unwilling to stay any longer, he looked at the man on the mat with contempt and left to take a shower.

Samuel was taken aback for a moment as he stared at Alexander's back. “Hey, why'd you just leave like that?”

Nevertheless, he did not receive any response from Alexander's departing figure.

Cursing under his breath, he leaped up, grabbed the towel and water bottle on the side, and headed to the shower room while sipping water.

He was afraid Alexander would not wait for him, so he quickly showered and came out.

As he expected, Alexander had already put on his coat and watch when he walked out. The man would have left if Samuel had come out one second later.

“Who made you so angry?”

Alexander, who was drinking water, paused for a moment before giving Samuel a cold stare. “Should I hit you a few more times?”

“I've been your punching bag all night. Can't you even tell me who irritated you?”

I only opened the door to your office and was beaten for over an hour. I don't even have the right to know what's going on?

“What are you going to do if you know the answer?”

With that said, Alexander threw the water bottle into the trash can and walked out.

Despite having vented his rage, his mood had not improved.

“I just want to know who it is. I'm curious who in the world can irritate you so much. To be honest, Sophia is the only one who comes to mind.”

In an instant, Alexander was bereft of speech, and his expression darkened.

Shocked, Samuel asked, “Are you serious? Is it really Sophia? What a woman.”

Thanks to their long legs, they both quickly made it to the parking lot. After opening the car door, Alexander told Samuel to get lost.

“Mr. Xenos, don't do that. Let's eat dinner together. I can assess the situation for you.”

“What do you know?”

Obviously, Alexander had no faith in Samuel since the latter had been single his whole life.

Hearing that, Samuel snorted. “Isn't it because Sophia turned you down?”

Alexander creased his brows in shock. While being irritated, he was also curious. “How did you find out?”

“It's written on your face.”

The next moment, Alexander got into his car. Samuel had come here in Alexander's car. Naturally, he would not let the man leave without him.

Samuel was utterly shameless. As soon as Alexander shut the car door, he dashed to the other side and climbed into the passenger seat.

Alexander resisted the urge to kick him out of the car and drove to a nearby restaurant.

Once Samuel got into the car, he could not help but gossip. “Tell me. How did Sophia reject you?”

“Samuel Schild!”

Rubbing his nose, Samuel stated, “I just want to know what has happened before I analyze the situation in depth.”

Of course, Alexander was aware that his best friend just wanted to make fun of him. However, there was no one else he could speak to, so he simply explained the matter with a stern expression.

The moment he finished his sentence, Samuel burst out in laughter and commented, “Frankly speaking, I think Sophia did a great job.”

Instantaneously, Alexander's expression turned grim. Noticing that, Samuel hurriedly explained before he could speak. “Don't get angry first. Let me explain.”

“Go ahead. I'm listening.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Snorting coldly, Alexander leaned back and waited for Samuel to blather on.

After taking a sip of coffee, Samuel piped up, “You remember the last time I told you about the Queen family's affairs? After that, I actually gave it some thought and concluded that Sophia was quite unhappy during her three years of marriage to you. Don't be too quick to deny it. Think about it carefully. Everyone in our circle, especially Megan and your sister, made fun of her at every party because you despised her. Do you think they bullied her because of her poor upbringing? No, it was your lack of respect for her that made everyone in our circle view her as a joke. We always said she was a scheming gold digger. Yes, we never hit her or scolded her directly, but our words were always full of disdain. Back then, you left the house after getting married. As your wife, she had the right to ask you to live with her, but you questioned her if she was worthy. Even you are disturbed to hear it today. How do you think Sophia must have felt at that time?”

Initially, Samuel was smiling, but later, his voice had a slight sense of regret. “Alex, we must admit that we were preconceived and prejudiced at the beginning. We both owe Sophia an apology. Of course, you're the one who should truly apologize to her. After all, you're the one who has hurt her the most and the only one who can hurt her.”

At first, Alexander thought Samuel would babble nonsense. Little did he know that Samuel would say something like that.

He felt even worse after hearing those words.

It felt as if something was pressing against his heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Since it was unusual for Samuel to see such an expression on Alexander's face, he could not help but add, “She has already divorced you, yet you still want to pursue her. It's pretty disgusting.”

“Whose side are you on?”

“I'm on the side of justice!”

Feeling speechless, Alexander scoffed and declared, “No matter what you say, I'm going to pursue her. She can only be my woman. You're right. We do owe her an apology. Let's start with you. Go apologize to Sophia tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Samuel nearly choked on his saliva. “No way. Are you for real?”

Sophia, who was prone to holding grudges, would only make fun of him if he went to apologize to her. Worse yet, he could end up like the Queen family.

When he recalled how Sophia had asked someone to send thirty thousand to humiliate his aunt, he could not help but shudder.

She's not someone I can mess with.

In the meantime, Alexander tapped his index finger on the table while staring at his best friend's ever-

changing expression. “If you don't go, your adopted son in Ferropene...”

“Alex, this isn't something you can joke about!”

Raising his eyebrows, Alexander questioned, “Who said I was joking?”

Samuel was at a loss for words.

Did I just shoot myself in the foot?

While thinking of that, he could not help lifting his hand and slapping his mouth. “I should have just stayed quiet!”

Nonetheless, Alexander turned a blind eye to his act of playing victim and inquired, “What's the matter with the Queen family's vase?”

In fact, Samuel had come to see Alexander that day to talk about just that. Truth be told, the former was not convinced that the vase was a fake, but Sophia did not seem like someone who liked to brag.

When he found out about Sophia's bet with Megan, he was baffled. “Is the vase real or fake, in your opinion?”

“Fake.”

“Why?”

“I trust Sophia.”

Taking a deep breath, Samuel remarked, “Alexander, you weren't like this before.”

He's already acting this way before she's even his girlfriend. I can't imagine how he would act if he succeeded in winning her over. Is he going to back her up in everything she wants to do in the future?

“Oh, that's because you don't understand me.”

Samuel cringed at his reply. “I'm serious. What are your thoughts on this issue?”

“If you're good at history, you wouldn't ask such a question.” Alexander glanced at him with disgust and added, “It should be fake. The vase should come in pairs.”

“But my uncle is an enthusiast, and he had many people appraise it back then.”

“It's not a loss to put on a show for three million for a few days.”

In an instant, Samuel realized what he meant. “I need to tell my uncle about this right away!”

However, Alexander ignored what he said and only reminded him to apologize to Sophia the following day.

Needless to say, Samuel was rendered speechless.

Let's not be friends anymore.
