Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431 He Would Never Abandon You

The weather today was gloomy and overcast, a stark contrast to the clear blue skies yesterday.

It was autumn in Doveston; as soon as the sun set, the air turned chilly. As Sophia stood by the river watching the waves crash, the frigid air sent shivers down her spine.

Lukas quickly retrieved a blanket from the car, draping it over her shoulders. As she snuggled into its warmth, she looked at the man and said gratefully, "Thank you, Lukas."

"Even though I never liked Alexander, I'm sure he is fine," Lukas assured. Despite the implausibility of his words, one had to hold on to the belief that miracles could happen.

Sophia had never been religious, superstitious, or a believer in miracles. However, at this moment, she could only hope that her prayers were heard and that a miracle occurred.

After all, Alexander was still young.

"Ms. Yarrow."

Yvonne appeared to have rushed there, and when she realized Sophia was safe, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Sophia smiled as she turned to face the woman. "You're here, Ms. Leighton."

Having accompanied Sophia for many years, Yvonne discovered that the woman smiled often. However, with her experience, she could distinguish a genuine smile from a fake one at one glance.

Yet, she could not tell whether Sophia was smiling genuinely at the moment.

While Yvonne was thinking about what to say, Sophia continued, "I sent you a picture of the woman who left the hotel with Alexander last night. I want to know everything about the woman as soon as possible. Also, I know that you are in close contact with Felix recently; please ensure that any news related to Alexander is kept under wraps."

As she spoke, the smile plastered on her face vanished. Sophia turned to face the river, the wind blowing cold against her face as she remained expressionless.

Yvonne felt her heart sink, but she knew it was more useful to quickly get on with the investigation than to offer words of consolation. "All right, Ms. Yarrow. I'll have someone look into this."

Sophia nodded before turning to Lukas. "Ms. Leighton will take care of the matter. There's no need for you to intervene, Lukas."

After all, the man's political career could be impacted if he was found to be involved.

Lukas decided not to press the matter further upon noticing how determined she was. "Don't worry, Sophia. Feel free to call me for help anytime, okay?"

"Thanks, Lukas," Sophia replied gratefully.

The trio then parted ways, with Yvonne continuing her investigation in Doveston and Sophia and Lukas returning to the Dawson residence.

When Sophia and Lukas arrived at the Dawson residence, they ran into Perrin and Kylie, who were sitting in the living room. Perrin was at a loss for words to comfort Sophia after the sudden incident involving Alexander. His heart ached for Sophia, and when he noticed her silence, he decided to console her. "There's no need to worry, Sophia. Alexander isn't an ordinary man; he will be all right."

To put Perrin at ease, the woman grinned and answered, "I have faith in him, Granddad!"

Kylie walked over and held Sophia's hand. "I've ordered a gown. Would you mind accompanying me to try it on?"

Sophia agreed, knowing Kylie was trying to divert attention from the former's troubles. Moreover, there wasn't much she could do but wait for Yvonne and Felix to finish the investigation.

After two months of preparation, Kylie received a call today informing her that the gown was ready for fitting.

As a result, she decided to bring Sophia along to distract the woman from the incident.

Kylie frequently visited the renowned gown-making store in Doveston; most of her gowns were created there.

As Sophia stepped into the store, she was mesmerized by the rows of beautiful gowns in various designs and colors.

"Would you like them to make you a gown too?" Kylie asked.

"Sure."

Alexander had never seen Sophia in a gown before because she had never worn one.

Upon hearing Sophia's response, Kylie immediately summoned the seamstress. "Maria, hurry! Make a gown for my niece!"

Maria was a lady in her forties with a pleasant demeanor. She was dressed in a simple navy blue gown, her hair tied up neatly in a simple accessory.
