Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 422

Perrin enjoyed the meal immensely because his precious granddaughter was keeping him company.

Among the many incidents that occurred in Jadeborough, almost all of them were connected to Sophia, after all.

After the meal, Perrin decided to head downstairs with Sophia for a walk.

Before he did, he intentionally glanced at Alexander, who wanted to follow them. “I'm going to take a stroll with Sophia, Mr. Xenos. I know you're tired, so Lukas will send you to the hotel to rest lest you think our hospitality is inadequate.”

Sophia couldn't help but grin when she heard that.

In response, Alexander glanced at her. Upon meeting her eyes, he saw her shaking her head and mouthing at him to return to the hotel.

Before they arrived, she had already asked him to request Felix to book a hotel room. Perrin was already tolerating when he allowed Alexander to join the meal. Therefore, he definitely wouldn't have allowed the younger man to spend the night in the mansion.

In fact, Perrin was evidently displeased when Alexander insisted on participating in the dinner. If he weren't, he wouldn't have kept encouraging Sophia to meet other men.

Thus, Alexander stopped and watched the two of them leave. It wasn't until they were out of his sight that he turned to Lukas. “Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Dawson.”

Lukas, who was standing at the staircase entrance, smiled. “Not at all. If anything, you're the one in trouble, Mr. Xenos.”

As he spoke, he headed to the garage. “I'll drive the car to the entrance. Please wait for me there, Mr. Xenos.”

“All right,” responded Alexander before leaving the mansion.

Meanwhile, Sophia and Perrin were standing beside the goldfish pond in the garden.

Perrin loved to fish, so almost all the fishes inside the pond were ones he caught. Only some of the aquatic creatures underwater were goldfish.

After dumping the young fishes he caught into the pond, he let them grow before fishing them when they matured.

Nowadays, no one was willing to accompany him outside for a fishing trip, and he found the activity boring when doing it alone. Thus, he opted to spend his time at the goldfish pond.

After the meal, Perrin thought about his fish and brought Sophia to the pond to see if the neighbor's cat stole some.

Just as she listened to his tale about how the cat was caught stealing a fish a few days ago, she heard something landing on the ground.

Perrin sneered, “Look! That fat cat is here to steal my fish again!”

When she turned in the direction he pointed at, she saw a round, fat cat strolling toward the pond.

It wasn't afraid of people. Under the sunset glow, its fur appeared soft and fluffy. Just glancing at it would be enough for anyone to know how much its master loved it.

“This is my granddaughter. Don't you think she looks pretty?” Perrin smirked at the cat.

As though it could understand what he said, it swayed its tail as it approached Sophia and sniffed her.

She quite liked cats, so when she saw that, she wanted to touch the fat cat. “Does it scratch people, Granddad?”

“No, but it's very clingy!” Just as he ended his sentence, the cat rubbed its body against her leg.

Sophia's heart melted as she crouched and tentatively touched its head. Instead of scratching her, it brushed its head against her palm. “Isn't it acting affectionately, Granddad?”

His mood was lifted when he saw how happy she looked. “That's the only thing it knows how to do!”

Then he smiled at her. “Do you like cats?”

“Yes. They're too cute.”
