Married Your Girl Bestie as a Dare? Congrats You're Stuck with her now novel Chapter 34

Chapter 13

Nantucket

After leaving Manhattan, Sophia came here-a relatively remote place with few people and simple,

honest folk.

It was what she liked. After settling in, she opened a B&B here.

The inn was by the sea with beautiful scenery, gradually becoming popular with increasing visitors.

She threw herself completely into running the inn, having nearly forgotten about Alexander.

Until one day, she saw an extremely familiar figure about ten steps from her door.

After six months apart, seeing the person he’d missed day and night made Alexander’s eyes well up.

He stared at her fixedly across the crowd, but Sophia only glanced once before looking away,

turning back into the inn to continue her work.

That Alexander had found her so quickly was somewhat surprising.

She’d seen that press conference too. Watching Alexander and Victoria’s apologies stirred no

emotion in her heart.

What had happened had happened words were useless. Even his coming here was useless.

Seeing Sophia glance at him once before turning away, Alexander felt bitter, but he didn’t immediately follow.

There were too many people around now-going over might upset her.

He couldn’t make her unhappy anymore. Besides, now that she was within sight, his heart had

settled halfway.

He stood outside the window, steadily watching her busy figure, his longing nearly bursting from

his chest.

As long as he sincerely apologized, Sophia would surely forgive him.

Hundred percent.

He stood motionless outside until evening, and Sophia could feel that burning gaze the entire time.

Knowing she couldn’t avoid it, after the crowd thinned, she left the front desk and walked toward

Alexander.

Reaching him, Sophia didn’t stop, softly saying two words. “Follow me.”

Alexander’s eyes lit up and he quickly followed.

Sophia walked to a secluded area before stopping, turning to face Alexander and asking coldly,

“What are you doing here?”

Hearing her almost accusatory tone, Alexander’s eyes flashed with hurt.

Then he lowered his head, walked up to Sophia, and said hoarsely, “Sophia, I’m sorry… I know I was

wrong. I’ve canceled the engagement and clarified the online rumors… I’m sorry…”

Sophia watched his repentance with calm indifference.

Had she once imagined him like this?

Actually, yes. In the early days after leaving, she’d pictured him regretting.

But after living here for six months, she’d let go. Whether he regretted it or not no longer mattered

to her.

So she just watched calmly without speaking.

Under Sophia’s silent gaze, Alexander’s palms grew sweaty with nervousness.

He was like a criminal awaiting judgment, not knowing what verdict his judge would give, so he waited anxiously.

After a minute, Sophia spoke, “None of this concerns me anymore. Don’t bother coming to find me.”

Alexander’s heart plummeted at her clear rejection, sorrow flooding through him as he looked up helplessly and met her cold, emotionless eyes.

Instantly frozen in place, his heart filled with panic as he spoke helplessly, “Sophia, Sophia, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I love you, Sophia. I really can’t live without you…”

“Enough. No one can’t live without anyone else. We’re done. Go back to your arranged marriage and stop bothering me.” Sophia frowned with disgust, interrupting him.

She knew Alexander’s love was real, but so was his betrayal.

The betrayal was far more real than love. Besides, she no longer wanted this tainted love.

As she tried to walk past him back to the inn, a hand grabbed her when she reached his side. “Sophia, that’s not true… I won’t go through with any marriage. I only love you…”

Sophia didn’t want to hear his after-the-fact excuses, and her expression turned cold. Looking at his well-defined hand, she spoke icily, “Let go.”

Though reluctant, Alexander released her hand.

The moment he let go, Sophia walked away without looking back, treating him like he had the plague.

The footsteps gradually faded behind him. He emptily grasped his now-empty hand, feeling Sophia’s lingering warmth.

Alexander wandered the dark night like a homeless person, streetlights casting his shadow.

His heart felt hollow and unsettled-he was like a dog abandoned by its owner, aimless.

He hadn’t expected Sophia to be so resolute.

Hadn’t he expected this? Maybe he had but didn’t dare think about it.

He couldn’t accept her leaving him-even imagining it was impossible.

But now the illusion was shattered, reality brutally displayed before him.

He could no longer turn a blind eye. The panic of losing Sophia overwhelmed him.

If none of this had happened, if he hadn’t agreed to the arranged marriage.

They should be embracing at home now, playfully watching TV.

Now everything was destroyed-destroyed by his own hands.

Thinking this, his heart felt torn apart. He covered his aching heart and slowly knelt on the ground.

Images of past happiness flashed through his mind. Alexander pulled out the ring from around his

neck and gently kissed it.

He made a firm resolution: I will win you back.

He’d pursued her for three years before-now he was willing to pursue her for another three As long as she came back, he’d pursue her for ten years if necessary.

The next day, he went to Sophia’s inn to check in.

years.

He specifically chose a time when there were few people and only Sophia was there, so he could talk to her.

Sophia paused seeing him enter, then resumed her cold demeanor. “I told you not to look for me

anymore.”

Hearing her unhesitating dismissal, Alexander’s face stiffened momentarily before he smiled. “I’m here as a guest. Isn’t this a boutique inn?”

Saying this with complete sincerity, as if he really was just there to stay.

After yesterday, he’d decided that no matter what treatment Sophia gave him, he’d act like he didn’t

see it.

Because this was what he deserved. After hurting her so deeply, his own small suffering meant nothing.

Seeing his attitude, Sophia had no way to throw him out and coldly checked him in.

For the next few days, Alexander indeed didn’t bother her anymore, but she constantly felt a burning gaze.

When she looked in that direction, she’d only see Alexander’s profile.

Yes.

Alexander hadn’t left, settling in as if it were home, and from his endless phone calls and constant laptop work, Sophia guessed he must be very busy, yet she thought she’d been clear enough that

day, so she couldn’t understand why he was still wasting time here.
