Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563 My Eyesight Is Perfect

Sophia's pregnancy was not something the couple wanted to announce publicly yet. After all, the first three months of pregnancy were the most unstable, and Perrin couldn't handle any stress due to his old age. It was better to wait until the pregnancy was stable before they told Perrin.

Moreover, both Sophia and Alexander were celebrities in Jadeborough, and if news of Sophia's pregnancy got out, there was no telling what schemes others might cook up.

Currently, there weren't many people who knew about Sophia's pregnancy. Justin had received instructions from Alexander and naturally wouldn't mention it to Samuel and the others.

Although Katherine loved to gossip and would sometimes let things slip, she had been confined to her home for the past few days and didn't have the opportunity to chat with anyone. As for online conversations, Katherine knew how to restrain herself.

After learning about Sophia's pregnancy, Alexander instructed the wedding planner to postpone the wedding to January next year. They would hold the wedding once Sophia was past her first trimester.

Fortunately, the wedding invitations hadn't been sent out yet, and the date had only been privately decided by Alexander and Sophia themselves. Thus, whether it was brought forward or postponed, only the two of them knew.

Although Sophia was pregnant, her health remained excellent, and apart from a slight increase in sensitivity and aversion toward specific foods, particularly those with strong meat or fishy smell, there was no discernible change in her usual appetite.

That day, there was a business meeting. Sophia hadn't appeared at Sunshine Group for a long time. The business meeting was very important, with influential figures attending. Yvonne couldn't handle the meeting by herself, so Sophia had to show up.

The lunch was at Golden Sun, and Alexander drove Sophia there.

Yvonne was one of the few people who knew about Sophia's pregnancy. Since Sophia had to appear at the business meeting that day, Yvonne had been waiting at the entrance of Golden Sun.

Sophia got out of the car and glanced at Alexander. She smiled at him and asked, “Are you going back home for lunch?”

“No. I made plans with Samuel,” Alexander replied, then held Sophia's hand. “I'll escort you to the private room.”

Sophia said awkwardly, “Ms. Leighton is already here.”

Alexander glanced at Yvonne, who was quick to understand the situation. She knowingly walked inside first.

“She's gone,” Alexander said.

Sophia gave him a sidelong glance and huffed softly before following him inside.

Alexander sent Sophia to the entrance of the private room and then went into the adjacent one himself.

Samuel had already arrived, and the spacious private room was only occupied by the two of them. Even Samuel, who came from a wealthy background, felt it was a bit extravagant. “Alex, it's just the two of us?”

Alexander, who had just sat down, gave him a sidelong glance. “Who else do you want to be here?”

Samuel flipped through the menu and said, “If it's just the two of us, we could have gone to a smaller private room. This one is too big. It's such a waste!”

Without lifting his head, Alexander simply said, “Sophia is having a business meeting next door.”

Samuel was rendered speechless.

Once again, he was treated to a public display of affection without warning.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent private room, Sophia had just sat down when the other party arrived.

The other party must have found out that Sophia didn't like alcohol at her table, so there was no wine at the entire dinner gathering.

The conversation between both parties was very pleasant. It was a meal that lasted about an hour, and Yvonne personally went to see off the other party at the end.

Just as Sophia walked out of the private room, she saw Alexander and was momentarily taken aback. “You're done too?”

She had planned to take a walk downstairs, chat with Yvonne for a while about recent matters at Sunshine Group, and let Alexander and Samuel talk a bit longer. She didn't expect to see Alexander as soon as she walked out of the private room.

“Yeah. Samuel has something else to attend to.”

Samuel, who actually had nothing to attend to, had just come out of the private room when he heard Alexander's words. He was dumbfounded when he heard the lie.

I just asked him if he wanted to have afternoon tea and play a round of golf together, and now he's saying I have something else to attend to?

Seeing Samuel, Sophia smiled faintly. “Mr. Schild.”

Samuel nodded. “I have something to attend to, so I'll leave you guys alone.”

After saying that, he gave Alexander a meaningful look.

Sophia chuckled. “Did you offend Mr. Schild?”

Alexander casually raised an eyebrow. “No. Don't worry about him.” As he said that, he took Sophia's hand. “Would you like to play golf in the afternoon?”

If Samuel heard that, he would probably start a fight with Alexander right then and there.

Sophia thought for a moment. The weather's nice today. “Sure.”

After leaving Golden Sun, the two of them went straight to the golf course. It was a coincidence that a few days ago Katherine had mentioned that Bethany had made a high-profile comeback. And that afternoon, Sophia and Alexander ran into Bethany at the golf course.

They hadn't seen each other for over a year, and Bethany seemed to have become more beautiful.

Sophia sized Bethany up. She smiled faintly and didn't speak first.

Bethany was dressed in a very casual manner. She wore white sportswear, and her hair was styled in a fishtail braid, which gave her a gentle appearance.

She had spent over a year abroad, and the first thing she did when she returned home was to find out about the relationship between Alexander and Sophia.

As she had expected, the two of them had gotten back together.

Having spent a year and a half abroad and returned to Jadeborough in a high-profile manner, she wanted to show Sophia how well she was doing. The other reason was that she wanted to restore the White family.

However, Bethany hadn't achieved much in the entertainment industry yet, and she didn't expect to encounter Sophia and Alexander so soon after returning to the country.

A myriad of emotions brewed with her. When she looked at Sophia's faint smile, she felt as if she was mocking her for overestimating herself.

“It's been a while, Ms. Yarrow.”

Bethany deliberately didn't address Sophia as Mrs. Xenos because she thought it would irritate her.

Sophia replied, “It's been a while, Ms. White. You've become more beautiful.”

Bethany felt a little proud. She had undergone some minor cosmetic surgery during her time abroad, and it wasn't easy to notice unless one looked closely. “Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Yarrow. On the contrary, you don't look so good.”

Sophia looked at her calmly. “Is that so? Is your eyesight getting worse, Ms. White?”

Bethany didn't understand why Sophia had suddenly asked that. “My eyesight is perfect.”

Sophia smirked. “Oh, so your eyesight is perfect. I thought it had worsened to the point that you couldn't see clearly.”

“Bethany.”

At that moment, a young man walked over, and his expression changed slightly when he saw Sophia.

The smile on Sophia's face faded a bit, and Alexander, who had been silent all along, spoke up. “It's too hot here. Let's go over there.”

He held Sophia's hand and walked in another direction.

The entire time, he didn't even look at Bethany.

However, Zaynard didn't like that Sophia was leaving. “Sophia, I haven't seen you in a long time. Don't you want to catch up?”

As he spoke, he pulled Bethany close and caught up with Sophia and Alexander.

Alexander's gaze turned cold as he looked at Zaynard. “Mr. Zaynard, we haven't seen each other in a long time either. Shall we catch up too?”

Zaynard was taken aback by Alexander's retort. He didn't dare provoke him, so he stopped following them.
