Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 502

Chapter 502 You Are Mine

At that time, there were quite a few people in the restaurant. When Sophia and Alexander entered, they noticed many seats were already taken.

As the decision to dine out was made rather impulsively, Alexander hadn't made a reservation in advance.

However, the grilled fish restaurant was quite spacious, with many booths further inside.

Sophia hadn't had grilled fish in over half a year. Since Alexander was previously met with a mishap at Doveston, she had spent most of her time at Odyssey and Sunshine Group. Hence, she ate meals prepared by Felix or Yvonne and rarely went out to eat.

Even when Katherine invited her out for meals occasionally, they would typically go to popular, trendy restaurants.

Sophie and Alexander arrived neither too early nor too late, and the food was dished out fairly quickly. After waiting for just about ten minutes, the grilled fish was served.

Sophia had just put down her juice when she heard a girl passing by say, “I'm so envious of my friend. Their company's previous and current chairpersons remarried today, and the company gave every employee a monetary gift of one thousand four hundred and thirty-seven for them to share in the joy too.”

Hearing that, Sophia instinctively turned to Alexander, sitting opposite him. Evidently, he also heard that because he was looking at her.

Sophia arched her brow, smiling faintly without saying a word.

The few girls had seated themselves diagonally behind Sophia. They spoke relatively loudly, so she managed to listen to their entire conversation.

“You're talking about Odyssey, right? I saw the news on the trending list. Their previous and current chairpersons are so good-looking and young. Their divorce two years ago made the headlines too, right? Unexpectedly, they're remarried now and even generously gave all their employees monetary gifts worth over one thousand four hundred each. I'm a little jealous.”

“Honestly, I'm more envious of Ms. Yarrow. The announcement of their remarriage was posted by Alexander on his Twitter account, and giving the monetary gift also seems to be his idea. It's as if he's staking his claim on Ms. Yarrow by making such a large commotion.”

“Oh? I didn't notice this before, but now that you mention this, I think you have a point.”

The girls grew more excited as they chatted. They even opened their Twitter and discussed Sophia's and Alexander's past posts.

As the subject of their discussion, Sophia felt a little self-conscious and somewhat amused, sitting there listening to their gossip.

She glanced at Alexander. “Are you really trying to stake your claim on me?”

He swept his eyes across her and placed a piece of fish on her plate before calmly replying, “Yes.”

He wanted everyone to know that Sophia was his wife now so that those harboring ulterior motives would know their place.

His composed and solemn response rendered Sophia stumped.

Sophia looked down at the piece of fish on her plate and smiled. Indeed. Women do sometimes appreciate this kind of “strategy.”

After dinner, the sky outside turned dark, and the lights lit up, giving Jadeborough a more vibrant and lively vibe than during the day.

Alexander and Sophia had never been fond of nightlife, so they headed straight back to the mansion after finishing their meal.

The time was still early. Sophia drank a cup of warm water and looked up at Alexander, standing not far away.

Just then, Alexander had finished talking on the phone. Meeting her gaze, he strode up to her. “What's the matter?”

“Do you want to watch a movie?” It had been almost half a year since Sophia had watched a horror movie due to her busy schedule.

“Sure.”

Sophia hadn't been in the home theater for a long time. If the housekeeper hadn't been cleaning it regularly, the room would probably have been covered in dust.

Yvonne knew Sophia enjoyed horror movies and would collect new ones for her from time to time. Over half a year, a considerable number of films were accumulated.

Sophia selected an Irushean movie, dimmed the lights, and leaned back on the couch to focus on watching the show.

Alexander shifted over to her side, lifting his arm to pull her into his embrace.

The quiet twenty square meter home theater was filled only with the sound of the movie. Sophia grew more excited as she listened to the eerie, tension-building background music.

Meanwhile, Alexander, sitting beside her, wore a poker face. He enjoyed watching Sophia more than the movie.

The film's introduction was too long, and the climax wasn't sufficiently impactful. After around forty minutes into the show, Sophia lost interest.

She gazed down at Alexander's hand fiddling with the ring on her finger, finding his gesture comical. He's been playing with the ring for about half an hour.

“Is it fun?” she asked, picking up the remote control and turning off the movie.

He glanced at her and lowered his head to lean against her shoulder. “Mhm.”

Sophia sensed the boredom in his voice and couldn't help but chuckle. “Let's stop watching the show. I haven't practiced boxing in over a month. Do you want to train with me for a while?”

Upon hearing her suggestion, Alexander moved slightly and regarded her with his dark eyes. “Okay.”

Their home was equipped with a gym. At the start of the year, Sophia had asked Yvonne to arrange for someone to install a small boxing ring in the gym for her convenience to practice at home.

He wented everyone to know thet Sophie wes his wife now so thet those herboring ulterior motives would know their plece.

His composed end solemn response rendered Sophie stumped.
