Chapter 395

Sophia had seen Tyler look at her with that expression before. It was the same look he gave her thelast time they met at a banquet.

Dillon was not a good person, so his two sons were a chip off the old block, too.

Standing behind Alexander, Sophia's smile started to fade.

The expression on Alexander's face was even worse. Had Tyler not made a hasty exit, Sophia believedAlexander would have taught him a lesson.

After Tyler disappeared from their sight, Alexander turned to Sophia and said, “If he dares to have anybad intentions, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life.”

Sophia looked up at him and gave him a grin. “I don't think he has the courage to do so.”

The incident was unpleasant, but both Alexander and Sophia did not take it to heart.

While Dillon had already been defeated, Tyler's days, too, were numbered. He might be able to make ascene now, but he would not be able to do so for long.

The Queen family had invited Alexander and Sophia to attend Megan and Casper's wedding onSaturday.

Megan even personally invited Sophia as a sign of extending an olive branch. That was why Sophia feltshe should make an appearance at the celebration.

As for Alexander, given his connection with the Schmidt family and his close friendship with Samuel, henaturally had to show up at Megan's wedding.

He saw many familiar faces there.

The attendees at today's event were largely the same as those who attended Alexander and Sophia'swedding then.

The weather in Jadeborough during September was still warm and humid, so Sophia opted for a simplebut tasteful dress and put up light makeup that complemented her skin tone. After all, Megan was thestar of the day, so Sophia did not want to steal her limelight.

People would often have boundless energy when a happy event is around the corner. Bruno, who hadbeen under the weather not long ago, looked positively radiant today.

The moment Alexander and Sophia stepped into the hall, Jessica and Harold went up and greetedthem. “Welcome, Mr. Xenos and Ms. Yarrow.”

Jessica had always looked down on Sophia but no longer detested her as much since Sophia quitbidding and gave Megan a chance to win the bid on a collectible.

The fact that the Dawson family had acknowledged Sophia as a part of the family also promptedJessica to treat her differently.

Having long known the way of life of the upper echelons of society, Sophia did not actually havenegative feelings toward her.

It was not surprising that Jessica looked down on her. Jessica had always been a wealthy young ladyof the Schild family. When she married Harold, it was considered as marrying below her social class.Over the years, she had witnessed how women tried to rise to the top by marrying into wealthy families.

When Sophia married Alexander, she was indeed a nobody. As a member of the Schild family, it wasunderstandable that Jessica looked down on Sophia, thinking she was one of those women whopursued fame and fortune.

Despite any underlying feelings, Jessica gave Sophia a cordial smile since today was Megan'swedding. Sophia, too, reciprocated the gesture politely.

The atmosphere at the wedding hall was peaceful and pleasant.

Jessica, who had to greet the other important guests at the wedding, delegated the responsibility ofentertaining them to Samuel after escorting Sophia and Alexander to the hall.

“Hi, Alex, Sophia.” he greeted.

Alexander and Sophia instantly recalled the photo incident when they saw Samuel coming in theirdirection. Sophia could not help but knit her brows and responded with a baffling grin. “You seem to bein a good mood lately, Mr. Schild.”

Upon hearing that, Samuel also thought of the photo incident. His smile froze for a moment. “Not toobad. I believe Alex is in a better mood than me.”

Alexander gave him a glare. “You haven't been to the boxing gym for some time, have you?”

Upon sensing the implied meaning in his words, Samuel cleared his throat before changing the subject.“Justin and the others are already seated over there. Let's join them, shall we?”

Alexander let out a cold snort and exchanged glances with Sophia. Instead of exposing Samuel, theyfollowed him to their seats.

Megan's wedding was an extravagant affair, as both the Queens and Coopers were known for theirwealth and social status.

As esteemed guests, Sophia and Alexander were arranged to sit at the second table from the mainstage. Megan's entrance in her magnificent wedding gown, combined with the stunning lights andromantic ambiance, created a captivating atmosphere that stirred the hearts of all in attendance.

Samuel, being one of the four wealthy bachelors in Jadeborough, could not help but feel a rush ofemotions as he witnessed Megan's grand wedding. He had always assumed the quartet of bachelorswould remain single forever, but Alexander had broken the pact by getting married. Despite theirsubsequent divorce, Alexander and Sophia remained close, adding to Samuel's surprise.

As Samuel tilted his head to catch a glimpse of Sophia and Alexander sitting opposite him, Sophiamade her way towards Megan, with Alexander watching her from afar.

Upon noticing the expression on Alexander's face, Samuel could not help but shiver and kicked himunder the table.

Alexander, aware of Samuel's behavior, knew no one else in the hall was capable of doing such athing.

He shot a disdainful glare at Samuel. “Yes?”

Samuel glanced at Sophia, who was talking to the bride, before teasing, “Alex, you wish to get marriedsoon too, right?”

That question rendered Alexander speechless.

He did not want to admit it, but he was indeed envious of Megan and Casper.

Despite the noise in the wedding hall, Sophia overheard their conversation. She could not help but archa brow. “Are you desperate to get married too?”

Words caught in Samuel's throat. I shouldn't have dug my own grave.

Upon noticing his helpless expression, Sophia smirked. She lowered her head and took a glance atAlexander before tickling his palm gently.

Alexander's heart skipped a beat. He looked at her with a gentle gaze. “He can only dream of it sincehe doesn't even have a girlfriend.”

Unlike Samuel, he was pleased that he could live happily with Sophia.

Samuel felt as if someone had pricked his heart with a needle. Justin, who sat beside him, chuckledbefore adding, “I think he doesn't even have a crush.”

Samuel was stumped upon hearing that remark. How could he attack me like this!

Sophia giggled and then popped a candy into her mouth. “Let's stop teasing Mr. Schild, shall we?”

Samuel was moved by Sophia's words. I shouldn't have let these men get to me!

However, Samuel's momentary gratitude was quickly shattered when Sophia added, “After all, Mr.Schild is destined to remain single for the rest of his life.”

He was at a loss for words. I should have kept my mouth shut and not said a thing just now!

Oh, my. What have I done?

Feeling defeated, Samuel decided to zip his mouth.

Marriage was indeed a sacred union. Everyone was touched when Megan and Casper spoke on stage.

Sophia, swept up in her emotions, felt a hand grasping hers. She tore her gaze from the stage andturned to Alexander.

Alexander looked into her eyes quietly.

Sophia curled her lips. “Let's visit Granddad when we're free, okay?”

Alexander froze upon hearing that. His eyes flickered in disbelief. “Can I?”

Sophia arched her brow and asked, “Why not?”

“Okay,” Alexander responded in a deep voice, still gazing into her eyes and tightening his grip on herhand.
