Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395 Why Not

Sophia had seen Tyler look at her with that expression before. It was the same look he gave her the last time they met at a banquet.

Dillon was not a good person, so his two sons were a chip off the old block, too.

Standing behind Alexander, Sophia's smile started to fade.

The expression on Alexander's face was even worse. Had Tyler not made a hasty exit, Sophia believed Alexander would have taught him a lesson.

After Tyler disappeared from their sight, Alexander turned to Sophia and said, “If he dares to have any bad intentions, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life.”

Sophia looked up at him and gave him a grin. “I don't think he has the courage to do so.”

The incident was unpleasant, but both Alexander and Sophia did not take it to heart.

While Dillon had already been defeated, Tyler's days, too, were numbered. He might be able to make a scene now, but he would not be able to do so for long.

The Queen family had invited Alexander and Sophia to attend Megan and Casper's wedding on Saturday.

Megan even personally invited Sophia as a sign of extending an olive branch. That was why Sophia felt she should make an appearance at the celebration.

As for Alexander, given his connection with the Schmidt family and his close friendship with Samuel, he naturally had to show up at Megan's wedding.

He saw many familiar faces there.

The attendees at today's event were largely the same as those who attended Alexander and Sophia's wedding then.

The weather in Jadeborough during September was still warm and humid, so Sophia opted for a simple but tasteful dress and put up light makeup that complemented her skin tone. After all, Megan was the star of the day, so Sophia did not want to steal her limelight.

People would often have boundless energy when a happy event is around the corner. Bruno, who had been under the weather not long ago, looked positively radiant today.

The moment Alexander and Sophia stepped into the hall, Jessica and Harold went up and greeted them. “Welcome, Mr. Xenos and Ms. Yarrow.”

Jessica had always looked down on Sophia but no longer detested her as much since Sophia quit bidding and gave Megan a chance to win the bid on a collectible.

The fact that the Dawson family had acknowledged Sophia as a part of the family also prompted Jessica to treat her differently.

Having long known the way of life of the upper echelons of society, Sophia did not actually have negative feelings toward her.

It was not surprising that Jessica looked down on her. Jessica had always been a wealthy young lady of the Schild family. When she married Harold, it was considered as marrying below her social class. Over the years, she had witnessed how women tried to rise to the top by marrying into wealthy families.

When Sophia married Alexander, she was indeed a nobody. As a member of the Schild family, it was understandable that Jessica looked down on Sophia, thinking she was one of those women who pursued fame and fortune.

Despite any underlying feelings, Jessica gave Sophia a cordial smile since today was Megan's wedding. Sophia, too, reciprocated the gesture politely.

The atmosphere at the wedding hall was peaceful and pleasant.

Jessica, who had to greet the other important guests at the wedding, delegated the responsibility of entertaining them to Samuel after escorting Sophia and Alexander to the hall.

“Hi, Alex, Sophia.” he greeted.

Alexander and Sophia instantly recalled the photo incident when they saw Samuel coming in their direction. Sophia could not help but knit her brows and responded with a baffling grin. “You seem to be in a good mood lately, Mr. Schild.”

Upon hearing that, Samuel also thought of the photo incident. His smile froze for a moment. “Not too bad. I believe Alex is in a better mood than me.”

Alexander gave him a glare. “You haven't been to the boxing gym for some time, have you?”

Upon sensing the implied meaning in his words, Samuel cleared his throat before changing the subject. “Justin and the others are already seated over there. Let's join them, shall we?”

Alexander let out a cold snort and exchanged glances with Sophia. Instead of exposing Samuel, they followed him to their seats.

Megan's wedding was an extravagant affair, as both the Queens and Coopers were known for their wealth and social status.

As esteemed guests, Sophia and Alexander were arranged to sit at the second table from the main stage. Megan's entrance in her magnificent wedding gown, combined with the stunning lights and romantic ambiance, created a captivating atmosphere that stirred the hearts of all in attendance.

Samuel, being one of the four wealthy bachelors in Jadeborough, could not help but feel a rush of emotions as he witnessed Megan's grand wedding. He had always assumed the quartet of bachelors would remain single forever, but Alexander had broken the pact by getting married. Despite their subsequent divorce, Alexander and Sophia remained close, adding to Samuel's surprise.

As Samuel tilted his head to catch a glimpse of Sophia and Alexander sitting opposite him, Sophia made her way towards Megan, with Alexander watching her from afar.

Upon noticing the expression on Alexander's face, Samuel could not help but shiver and kicked him under the table.

Alexander, aware of Samuel's behavior, knew no one else in the hall was capable of doing such a thing.

He shot a disdainful glare at Samuel. “Yes?”

Samuel glanced at Sophia, who was talking to the bride, before teasing, “Alex, you wish to get married soon too, right?”

That question rendered Alexander speechless.

He did not want to admit it, but he was indeed envious of Megan and Casper.

Despite the noise in the wedding hall, Sophia overheard their conversation. She could not help but arch a brow. “Are you desperate to get married too?”

Words caught in Samuel's throat. I shouldn't have dug my own grave.

Upon noticing his helpless expression, Sophia smirked. She lowered her head and took a glance at Alexander before tickling his palm gently.

Alexander's heart skipped a beat. He looked at her with a gentle gaze. “He can only dream of it since he doesn't even have a girlfriend.”

Unlike Samuel, he was pleased that he could live happily with Sophia.

Samuel felt as if someone had pricked his heart with a needle. Justin, who sat beside him, chuckled before adding, “I think he doesn't even have a crush.”

Samuel was stumped upon hearing that remark. How could he attack me like this!

Sophia giggled and then popped a candy into her mouth. “Let's stop teasing Mr. Schild, shall we?”

Samuel was moved by Sophia's words. I shouldn't have let these men get to me!

However, Samuel's momentary gratitude was quickly shattered when Sophia added, “After all, Mr. Schild is destined to remain single for the rest of his life.”

He was at a loss for words. I should have kept my mouth shut and not said a thing just now!

Oh, my. What have I done?

Feeling defeated, Samuel decided to zip his mouth.

Marriage was indeed a sacred union. Everyone was touched when Megan and Casper spoke on stage.

Sophia, swept up in her emotions, felt a hand grasping hers. She tore her gaze from the stage and turned to Alexander.

Alexander looked into her eyes quietly.

Sophia curled her lips. “Let's visit Granddad when we're free, okay?”

Alexander froze upon hearing that. His eyes flickered in disbelief. “Can I?”

Sophia arched her brow and asked, “Why not?”

“Okay,” Alexander responded in a deep voice, still gazing into her eyes and tightening his grip on her hand.
