Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 620

Chapter 620 She Does Not Cook

Boom!

The sound of firecrackers filled the air, not deafening but certainly noticeable to everyone in the house.

Having just hidden the shoes, Katherine and Charlize ran over to Sophia and winked at her. “Don’t worry, Soph. I’ve hidden the shoes. Mr. Xenos won’t find them without bribing me!” Katherine teased.

Sophia glanced at her. “Are you sure Charlize wouldn’t cave?”

Charlize stepped forward. “Don’t worry, Ms. Yarrow,” she asserted. “Nothing gets past these lips.”

“Excellent, Charlize!” said Katherine with a snap of her finger.

Then, she playfully patted Sophia on the shoulder. “Mr. Xenos is almost here, Mrs. Xenos,” she teased. “Are you nervous? Excited? Is your heart racing?”

Sophia appreciated Katherine’s presence, knowing that with her around, things would be entertaining.

She smiled warmly at her friend. Katherine was dressed in a stylish, light pink dress with rabbit fur shoulder pads. Her hair was elegantly styled with two buns on each side, creating a refreshing and contrasting look compared to her image on the silver screen.

Charlize couldn’t help but shower Katherine with compliments about how stunning she looked.

The Dawson family had had nothing to celebrate of late, and Lukas didn’t contribute much to lift their spirits. Despite being thirty-five, he was still without a girlfriend.

As a result, he was assigned the role of standing guard outside on Sophia’s wedding day.

Kasper and Kylie were with Perrin in the living room. When they heard Lukas teasing Alexander, Kylie glanced at the master bedroom on the third floor and smiled. “It’s been a while since the house has been so lively, Dad.”

Indeed, they were all in high spirits. Though he was only recently discharged from the hospital due to his illness, Sophia’s wedding put Perrin in a fantastic mood. In place of his usually stern expression was a kindly smile.

Meanwhile, Joshua stood close by with his son in his arms, as Perrin was fond of children. At over three months old, Lewinn began to resemble his parents, inheriting only their best features. Even Katherine, who had remarked on how ugly her son was at birth, was growing fonder of him.

However, Lewinn’s temperament was more like his mother’s. Reveling in the jovial, bustling proceedings, he wanted to walk around and, upon catching sight of Perrin’s cane, he stretched a plump hand to touch it.

Perrin’s heart melted at the sight of the child. At the thought of Sophia giving him a great-grandchild in six months brought him even more joy and satisfaction.

Alas, Perrin’s mood soured as he looked at his unmarried grandson, who was already past thirty. “That’s enough, Lukas,” he barked, seeing that Lukas was still refusing to let them in.

Lukas, who had several more tricks up his sleeve, grew speechless with indignity.

Samuel assumed the role of the lead groomsman. Though his silver tongue was enough to mollify the bridesmaids, Sophia’s cousin proved to be a challenge. No matter what tricks Samuel tried, he couldn’t get Lukas to budge, and he was starting to worry whether they would ever make it past that door.

Finally, after much effort, they were allowed inside. Without wasting any time, they started distributing monetary gifts to everyone present without needing to be prompted.

Upon spotting the elders of the Dawson family, Alexander quickly exchanged greetings with them before dashing off to the third floor.

As soon as they heard the commotion, Katherine dragged Charlize to stand guard at the door, leaving Sadie and Yvonne to keep Sophia company in the room.

Sadie looked at Sophia’s belly in awe, finding it hard to believe that the woman she admired was getting married and expecting a child so quickly. Time truly flies.

Sophia touched up her lipstick and glanced at Sadie. “What is it? Is my baby bump really that noticeable?”

Sadie quickly shook her head. “Oh, no. I was just imagining how incredibly good-looking your child with Mr. Xenos will be, Sophia.”

Yvonne, who was usually more reserved, also seemed relaxed that day. “I can’t even begin to imagine how stunning Ms. Yarrow and Mr. Xenos’ baby will be,” she commented.

Sophia laughed upon hearing those two. “What if the baby turns out to be ugly?”

Yvonne joined in the laughter. “I’m sure they’ll still be better looking than most.”
