Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621 Where Is The Shoe

Amused by the rare sight, Samuel playfully took the lead and quipped, “Are you done staring, Groom?”

Seated before Alexander’s line of sight, Sophia was initially not paying much attention to his gaze, but Samuel’s remark made her self-conscious.

Katherine, too, relished the unfolding spectacle. “Sophia is looking beautiful today, isn’t she, Mr. Xenos?” she teased. “You need to show us how much she means to you to take such a beautiful bride away! It’s not easy to marry someone as lovely as her!”

Having composed himself after Samuel and Katherine’s banter, Alexander looked deeply at Sophia before turning his attention to Katherine.

In a splendid mood, he brushed off their teasing, knowing they were all there for Sophia. As for Samuel, Alexander thought, He wouldn’t have the opportunity to be so smug with me anymore.

He raised his eyebrows. “What are your demands?”

Standing next to Alexander, Samuel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Looks like you have quite a lot to handle today,” he remarked, teasingly.

Katherine snorted. “Obviously. Do you think it’ll be that easy to take her home?”

As she spoke, she playfully pointed at one of the wedding shoes lying at the foot of the bed. “There’s one shoe of the bride’s. Your mission, Mr. Xenos, is to find the other one.”

Sophia was not the one who hid the shoe; instead, it was Katherine and Charlize who had spent a considerable amount of time in the walk-in closet before emerging to announce that it had been well hidden. Amused by the situation, Sophia sat and watched as Alexander and the groomsmen searched high and low for the missing shoe.

Alexander and his groomsmen are clever. Except Samuel, of course.

After searching the room and failing to find the shoe, Charles turned his gaze to Charlize and asked, “Where is it, Charlize?”

“I’m not giving you any hints, Charles. It’s for Ms. Yarrow’s happiness, so I won’t reveal where it is,” Charlize replied, unfazed.

Charlize’s refusal to help Charles came as a surprise, considering her usual meek nature and willingness to comply with his requests.

Charles chuckled helplessly and then turned to Alexander, shrugging. “I tried, but it seems Charlize is currently on Sophia’s side.”

Despite the room’s size, Samuel and Justin were unable to locate the shoe even after thoroughly rummaging through the closet and checking all the cabinets. It seemed evident that there weren’t many places where the shoe could have been hidden.

Alexander walked up to Sophia. “Where is it, Mrs. Xenos?”

Alexander’s gaze remained tender as he addressed Sophia. If not for Katherine and Charlize stopping him, he would have carried her off then and there.

Five minutes later, Samuel emerged from the closet, giving Alexander a helpless shrug. “This is looking like an uphill battle, Alex.”

Alexander’s gaze swept over Samuel before settling on Katherine. Then, he held out his hand in front of Samuel.

Initially puzzled, Samuel soon understood what Alexander wanted as their eyes met. Reaching into his pocket, he took out a monetary gift and placed it in Alexander’s outstretched hand.

Alexander then handed the monetary gift to Katherine. “Where is the shoe?” he asked.

With a grin, Katherine snatched the monetary gift over. “We’ll keep this, but it’s up to the groomsmen to locate the shoe! It’s definitely somewhere in this room,” she declared.

Alexander did not respond. He turned his gaze to Sophia.

Sophia’s smile remained, and her intention was clear—Alexander was to follow Katherine’s instructions.

Alexander’s eyes glimmered with determination. “Keep looking. Pay extra attention to the blind spots,” he instructed Samuel.

Failing to find it in the room earlier, Alexander took it upon himself to check the closet, determined to find the missing shoe.

However, he did not manage to find it in there, either.

Charles glanced at Charlize. Unable to decipher her thoughts, he turned to Spencer. “Where do you think it is?”

While keeping a close eye on Charlize, Spencer had already figured out where the shoe was hidden. However, Alexander and the others were too focused on their search in other places and didn’t notice the clever hiding spot.

Charlize’s inability to keep secrets was evident, and Spencer had been observing her closely since they entered the room. He noticed her continuous glances at the top of the closet door, leading him to be certain that the shoe was hidden there.

Noticing Charles’s intent to ask Spencer about the shoe’s location, Charlize panicked and shot Spencer a pleading look.
