Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 241

Chapter 241

As Sophia retracted her gaze, she noticed Alexander staring at her and felt a little embarrassed. “Howmany more tables until our turn?” she asked, ducking her head.

Alexander looked at his phone and replied, “Three. Do we keep waiting?”

“We'll wait.”

Since the weather was hot outside during the afternoon, she did not feel like heading out for lunch.

Fortunately, they did not have to wait very long. After lunch, the two of them headed back to themansion to get changed before driving to the boxing gym.

It had been over two weeks since Sophia last went there.

The gym was very packed on that day. Upon entering the gym, she realized a friendly match withanother boxing gym was being held.

As she glanced at the ring, one of the boxers noticed her gaze and started flexing his biceps.

Alexander's expression darkened the moment he saw that. “Don't look,” he said while leading her awayfrom the ring.

Sophia retracted her gaze. Tilting her head, she flashed him a smile and said, “I wasn't looking!”

I didn't know he'd start flexing his muscles.

Alexander kept quiet and continued leading her further into the gym.

The boxer in the ring was somewhat disappointed to see that. Man... Why are all the pretty girls taken?

As if he was afraid that Sophia would look at the boxers on the ring again, Alexander walked at a ratherfast pace. Sophia had to jog just to keep up with him.

It was not until they entered the training room that he let go of her hand and pushed the door open tobring her in.

No sooner had Sophia taken off her shoes than she turned around and saw Alexander rolling up hissleeves.

With an eyebrow raised, she stood by the bench and watched as he made his way over.

“I have them too.”

His statement brought a blush to her face.

I never knew Alexander was the jealous type!

“Hey, Alexander! I didn't know you were this type of guy!” Sophia said with a smile.

“What type of guy?”

“The jealous type! Ah!”

Alexander cut her off mid-sentence by pulling her into his embrace, taking her by surprise.

The two of them were incredibly close to each other as he pressed his forehead against hers andstared deeply into her eyes.

Sophia's eyelids fluttered as her heart hammered against her chest.

Alexander gave her a quick peck on her lips and asked, “Don't look at other guys again, okay?”

Her cheeks were burning up, but she tried to act calm as she replied, “Okay.”

Afterward, she snorted and demanded, “Let go of me! I need to get ready for my session!”

Alexander's Adam's apple bobbed. He stared at her for another few more seconds before letting go.

Three hours of boxing was sure to make anyone sweat a lot, and Sophia was no exception. It's beenforever since I had a great workout like this!

The sky was still bright when they left the boxing gym, but she was so exhausted from the training thatshe did not feel like dining out. Thus, Alexander drove her back to the mansion instead.

As it was only five in the evening, the sun had just begun to set. Sunlight streamed through the glasswindows in the living room, bathing it in a warm orange glow.

“What would you like for dinner?” Alexander asked. He had gotten familiar with the amenities in themansion, instructing Genie to boil a pot of water as soon as he entered the house.

Moments later, he emerged from the kitchen upstairs with two glasses of water, one of it warm and theother cold.

He then handed Sophia the glass of warm water and drank the cold one himself.

“Thanks, Mr. Xenos.” Sophia took a sip of the water before continuing, “I want something light.”

Her appetite had decreased due to the hot weather, and the grilled fish she had for lunch was rathergreasy. As such, she preferred to have something light for dinner.

“Pasta and salad?”

“Sure.”

The relaxing and joyful day went by just like that. When it was almost eleven at night, the movie theywere watching on the television ended. As the credits rolled, Alexander glanced at Sophia and saw thatshe had fallen asleep in his arms.

Caressing her cheek, he called out her name gently so that she could wake up and go to sleep in herbedroom.

However, Sophia was so tired that she merely furrowed her brows slightly and carried on sleeping. Itdid not seem like she would get up anytime soon.

In the end, Alexander decided against waking her up. After switching off the television and air-conditioning with the remote control, he carefully carried her to the bedroom.

Sophia was sleeping so soundly that she did not even wake up when he scooped her up in his arms.

The bedroom was suffused with her scent. Having laid her down on the bed, Alexander sat at the edgeand watched her. The moment of serenity made him feel like staying at her place.

Nevertheless, his rationality prevailed over his impulse. Since Sophia did not like it, he would respecther decision.

Despite that, he could not help but feel lonely and dejected upon returning to his empty mansion.

Samuel had been trying to hang out with Alexander throughout the past few weeks but to no avail. Hetried asking Alexander if he would be free to train together at the boxing gym that weekend, only to replaceout that the latter had already made plans with Sophia.

This is saddening... I can't even hang out with him, even when I'm offering to be his punching bag.

It was ten at night, and the nightlife in the city had only just begun. Being a single man bored out of hismind, Samuel decided to ask his equally single friend Alexander if he wanted to hang out.

He gave Alexander a call and asked, “Hey, Alex! There's an event on the mountain tonight! Are youcoming?”

Back in the day, the latter used to be known as the Racing King of Selton Mountain.

Alexander, who was about to take a shower and go to bed, replied, “I'm not interested.”

Samuel did not believe him for a second. “Are you planning on letting the cars collect dust in yourgarage?”

“Can't I keep them for display?”

What the... For some reason, I feel insulted!

A few seconds of silence later, Samuel was about to say something in protest. To his dismay, he heardthe line go dead.

He's so mean!

After hanging up the call, Alexander stared at his phone screen and frowned in disdain.

How did I become friends with someone as silly as Samuel? I sure am amazing for not being affectedby him!

Sophia was woken by an alarm early the next morning.

Upon opening her eyes and replaceing herself in bed, she froze in shock. It took her quite a while to recallwhat happened last night.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window. She stared at it for a few minutes before instructing,“Genie, draw back the curtains!”

Glaring sunlight streamed in through the window as the curtains were drawn back. Sophia instinctivelyshielded her eyes with her hands.

Katherine sent her a text message yesterday: Does Zayne look different from his picture?

Sophia chuckled as she replied: He looks better in person.

While freshening up in the bathroom, she recalled that she would be going on a hiking trip with Zaynelater that day.

Of course, it was not just the two of them. He would be bringing the girl he liked along with him.

Alexander had thought about postponing his lunch appointment to join them when he found out about itlast afternoon, but Sophia told him not to.

Zayne lied to the girl that Sophia was into him and that he did not know how to reject her.

Although Sophia was initially against that idea of his, she gave in when he mentioned Lukas.

Zayne's call came through right after she was done having breakfast.

She made her way to the balcony and looked down. A black car was parked downstairs.

Sophia had already gotten changed, so all she had to do was grab her backpack from the couch andleave the house.

Since they were hiking, Sophia wore casual-looking sports attire. For extra protection from the sun, shealso covered her arms with arm sleeves. Even so, she still looked stunning with the light makeup onher face and the exposed fair skin on her neck.

The girl that Zayne liked stared at Sophia with sparkling eyes as soon as the latter entered the car.

As Zayne maintained the usual emotionless expression, Sophia could not tell if he was jealous of her.

Crinkling her eyes in a smile, she opened the car door, got into the vehicle, and greeted the girl. “Hi, I'mSophia Yarrow.”

“H-Hi, I'm Quincy Mabins.”

Quincy had a youthful-looking face, fair skin, a pair of bright, round eyes, and dimples that appeared onher cheeks whenever she smiled. Her makeup was very light, and she seemed very bubbly andenergetic.

Sophia loved making friends with cute girls like Quincy. After shooting a glance at Zayne, who evidentlylooked displeased, she smiled and deliberately asked, “What's wrong, Quincy? Is there something onmy face? You've been staring at me for a while now.”

“Ah, I'm sorry, Ms. Yarrow! It's just that... Well, you look really pretty, so I couldn't help but admire yourbeauty!” Quincy stammered in embarrassment.

“Hmm?”

“I-I'm an art student.”

“Oh, so you're an artist?”

“No, I've only just graduated.”

Despite it being their first time meeting each other, the two women were getting along surprisingly well.“Fasten your seatbelts,” Zayne interrupted, unable to repress his annoyance anymore.

“Fine.” Sophia clucked her tongue discreetly.
