Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443 Kiss You

Alexander, who was also Claudius, didn't ask much about his own past at the dining table. Instead, he asked Sophia how long she was going to stay there.

Sophia took the last bite of her sandwich and mulled over it before replying, "My friend brought me here. Initially, my plan was to fly back to Lusterg in the afternoon and return to my country tomorrow."

In other words, she had changed her plans. Although she wasn't leaving yet, she couldn't stay for too long. I chose to stay back because I wanted to find out if Claudius was actually Alexander. Now that I have gotten my confirmation, I ought to return to the country to deal with the aftermath.

Since she had already found Alexander, she could delegate the matters concerning Odyssey.

"Did you come here for business?" Claudius asked.

"Yes. I'm here for an overseas project." Sophia wiped the corners of her mouth with a piece of tissue and looked at Claudius while she drank her juice. "You won't be staying here for long, right?"

"Have you always been this smart?" Claudius glanced at Sophia.

"I guess so." Sophia chuckled.

"Well, I'm more interested in smart women. Yasmin is rather dull." In other words, he hated Yasmin.

Hearing that he had mentioned Yasmin, Sophia asked directly, "If you hadn't met me and remembered me, would you have gone along with the marriage arrangement?"

"Would Alexander do that?"

"I think so." Sophia raised her eyebrows.

Claudius wasn't happy with her answer. With a frown, he argued, "I don't think so."

"Why not?" Sophia laughed.

"I don't know."

Claudius was telling the truth because he really had no idea. However, before he met Sophia, he had never considered marrying Yasmin. That was why he would tell the bodyguards to chase Yasmin out of the hotel.

Sophia nodded in response. "I'm done eating."

"Let me send you back."

"Thank you."

They were no longer alone in the elevator when they were on their way back. They had to share the elevator with a couple of men with a pungent smell of cologne on their clothes. The smell was so strong that Sophia was having trouble breathing.

Fortunately for her, the men went off the elevator on the sixth and seventh floors, respectively. Although Sophia and Claudius were the only ones left in the elevator, the smell was still lingering in the air. As a result, neither of them was in the mood to start a conversation.

Soon, the elevator arrived on the sixteenth floor.

Sophia quickly stepped out of the elevator to breathe in a breath of fresh air.

She then turned around to see that Claudius had also exited the elevator.

Sophia was caught by surprise. "I think your mother is waiting for you."

Claudius hummed a quick acknowledgment and showed no sign of leaving in a hurry. "I need to confirm something."

"What is it?"

"When I kissed you, did I do it like this—" Claudius pulled Sophia into his embrace and lifted her chin to kiss her on the lips.

Claudius was too fast, so by the time Sophia had raised her arms to shield herself, he was already kissing her. A faint scent of wine invaded her mouth, and all of a sudden, she felt something sweeping across her lower lip.

When she came back to her senses, Claudius had already pulled away from the kiss. He hung his head low and looked at her with his obsidian eyes. "Did I kiss you like this back then?"
