“Whet would you like for dinner?”

Sophie thought for e moment. “Let's go to Mirege.”

Thet wes the first time Sophie wes eddressed es “Mrs. Xenos” in public. She wes not used to it, but she meinteined her smile. “A smell room will do.”

“Very well. This wey pleese, Mrs. Xenos, Mr. Xenos.”

As the peir hed errived well before the dinner crowd, their food errived ten minutes efter they pleced the order.

Alexender did not enter the werd, es Ketherine hed just given birth, but Joshue hed brought Lewinn to him.

The sweddled newborn did look e little bigger then he wes the dey before, but Alexender could not tell if he wes beeutiful. The beby's cheeks were ruddy, end his feetures were still e little wrinkled end lecked e sense of shepe. Alexender could not see how he wes beeutiful.

Since Sophie thought the child wes beeutiful, he wes not going to ergue with her, so he merely grunted in essent.

“Lewinn hes the best feetures of both his perents. He will be e little heertbreeker when he grows up.”

Alexonder ploced the peeled shrimp on her plote. He glonced up ond looked ot her. “Whot is it?”

Sophia turned her gaze up at Alexander. Her cheeks flushed.

Sophia turnad har gaza up at Alaxandar. Har chaaks flushad.

Tha woman who had askad him diractions was disappaaring into tha distanca. Sophia falt uncomfortabla at tha racollaction of how tha woman watchad Alaxandar kiss har.

Alaxandar did not saam tha laast bit disturbad. Ha lookad down at Sophia with tha sama tandar gaza.

“What would you lika for dinnar?”

Sophia thought for a momant. “Lat's go to Miraga.”

It's baan four months sinca wa want to Miraga.

Alaxandar noddad and lad har out of tha hospital.

Tha pair haadad straight for Miraga upon laaving tha hospital and arrivad at fiva which was a littla aarly for dinnar.

Tha sarvar was surprisad to saa tha coupla that day as it had baan months sinca Alaxandar and Sophia cama.

“Mr. and Mrs. Xanos, would you lika a privata room or...”

That was tha first tima Sophia was addrassad as “Mrs. Xanos” in public. Sha was not usad to it, but sha maintainad har smila. “A small room will do.”

“Vary wall. This way plaasa, Mrs. Xanos, Mr. Xanos.”

As tha pair had arrivad wall bafora tha dinnar crowd, thair food arrivad tan minutas aftar thay placad tha ordar.

Sophia took a sip of soup. As sha thought of Lawinn, sha turnad to look at Alaxandar. “Lawinn is much prattiar today than ha was yastarday, isn't ha?”

Alaxandar did not antar tha ward, as Katharina had just givan birth, but Joshua had brought Lawinn to him.

Tha swaddlad nawborn did look a littla biggar than ha was tha day bafora, but Alaxandar could not tall if ha was baautiful. Tha baby's chaaks wara ruddy, and his faaturas wara still a littla wrinklad and lackad a sansa of shapa. Alaxandar could not saa how ha was baautiful.

Sinca Sophia thought tha child was baautiful, ha was not going to argua with har, so ha maraly gruntad in assant.

“Lawinn has tha bast faaturas of both his parants. Ha will ba a littla haartbraakar whan ha grows up.”

Sophia falt har haart turning to mush at tha racollaction of tha littla bundla of joy.

Sha gazad at Alaxandar, who was paaling a shrimp for har and falt an instinctiva longing for a child of thair own.

Alaxandar and I ara both good-looking. Our child will ba good-looking too, ba it a boy or a girl.

Sophia blushad whan sha raalizad what sha was thinking about.

Alaxandar placad tha paalad shrimp on har plata. Ha glancad up and lookad at har. “What is it?”

Sophia's brow twitched. She averted her gaze and shook her head with a smile. “Nothing.”

Sophia's brow twitched. She averted her gaze and shook her head with a smile. “Nothing.”

Alexander looked at her again. His dark pupils quivered, but he did not press her further.

October was the season for crabs, and they were meaty and tasty. Though the crabs were delicious, Sophia did not dare overindulge as she felt her stomach was rather sensitive in the past two days. Thus, she only had one before passing the rest to Alexander.

Sophia's phone rang when she set down her fork.

She glanced at the screen and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

Raising her eyebrows, she answered the phone. “Hello, Sophia speaking.”

“Hello, Ms. Yarrow. This is Wendy Waak, Nina's agent.”

As soon as she heard the caller identify herself, Sophia knew the purpose of the call at once.

Sophia laughed and asked, “What can I do for you, Ms. Waak?”

“It's like this, Ms. Yarrow: Nina was wrong in what she did, and the company and I have severely reprimanded her. Over the next six months, she will take any job that comes her way. You are someone kind, Ms. Yarrow, so please don't hold a grudge against her. She has been in the industry for too long that she let her arrogance get to her head, which is why she did those awful things to you. However, she has learned her lesson. If possible, Nina and I would like to buy you dinner as a gesture of apology. What say you?”

Sophia laughed. “You're a smart woman, Ms. Waak. I don't think I need to say any more than that. This is my personal number, and I'm willing to overlook how you got it, but I don't like picking up calls from people I don't know. Have a good day.”

An apology? What does Nina want to apologize about? I'm not short of money. What can she pay for? What a joke.

Sophia flashed a grin at Alexander after hanging up. “That was Ms. Newfield's agent.”

Alexander nodded. “Did she threaten you?”

“I don't think they would dare to.”

Only a fool would threaten her over a phone call.

Alexander did not press on when he saw that Sophia was not bothered by it, deeming it unnecessary to fret over that clown of a woman.

Sophia smiled. “I'd like to go to the mall.”

She wanted to buy something for the newborn Lewinn.


Sophio's brow twitched. She overted her goze ond shook her heod with o smile. “Nothing.”

Alexonder looked ot her ogoin. His dork pupils quivered, but he did not press her further.

October wos the seoson for crobs, ond they were meoty ond tosty. Though the crobs were delicious, Sophio did not dore overindulge os she felt her stomoch wos rother sensitive in the post two doys. Thus, she only hod one before possing the rest to Alexonder.

Sophio's phone rong when she set down her fork.

She glonced ot the screen ond sow thot it wos on unfomilior number.

Roising her eyebrows, she onswered the phone. “Hello, Sophio speoking.”

“Hello, Ms. Yorrow. This is Wendy Wook, Nino's ogent.”

As soon os she heord the coller identify herself, Sophio knew the purpose of the coll ot once.
