Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 562

Chapter 562

Upon hearing Sophia's words, Alexander froze.

He looked down at the pregnancy test kit in Sophia's hand that had two lines displayed on it.

Alexander knew what that meant.

He paused for a moment, seemingly processing the information, and then cautiously embraced Sophia.“Shall we go to the hospital?”

Sophia raised an eyebrow, looking at Alexander. She was about to ask him why he seemed sounresponsive when she lowered her head and noticed that his hand resting on her waist was trembling.

She smiled and nodded slightly. “Okay.”

Alexander held Sophia's hand and they left the villa immediately. He drove much slower than usual.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Sophia had just unbuckled her seatbelt when Alexander had alreadygotten out of the car and walked around to her side. He extended his hand to assist her.

Although he didn't say anything, Sophia could tell that he was afraid she might get hurt. She didn't askhim about it and simply let him lead her into the hospital.

On the way there, Alexander had already called Felix to make the necessary arrangements. As soonas they entered the hospital, they took the priority lane.

Although it was a private hospital, it was quite busy. Nevertheless, since it was owned by the Quail

family, the hospital had been notified in advance by Felix of Alexander and Sophia's arrival.

Sophia was taken to have her blood drawn, and after the procedure, they had to wait.

The hospital expedited the process, and after about half an hour, Sophia received the results of herblood test confirming that she was indeed pregnant.

The nurse handed the report to Sophia. “Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Xenos. Mrs. Xenos, you'realready thirty-eight days pregnant.”

Upon hearing this, Sophia glanced at Alexander.

Alexander was also looking at her, and their eyes met. Sophia smiled slightly and handed the report tohim. “Congratulations, Mr. Xenos.”

Alexander took the report and leaned down to give her a kiss. “Same to you, Mrs. Xenos.”

The nurse glanced at their faces and couldn't help but feel envious. With such good-looking parents,their children are sure to be beautiful too.

When they left the hospital, it was already after four in the afternoon. The news about Alexander andSophia's visit to the hospital quickly reached Justin, who was taken aback upon hearing the pregnancynews. He quickly called Alexander.

Alexander and Sophia had just arrived at the mansion. As soon as Alexander parked the car, his phonerang. Glancing at the caller ID and seeing Justin's name, he immediately understood the purpose of the

call.

Instead of answering the call, he picked up the phone and went upstairs with Sophia first. He pouredher a glass of water before saying, “I need to make a call.”

Sophia nodded and sat on the couch, looking at her test report with uncontrollable joy.

Since Alexander did not pick up, Justin decided not to call again.

To his surprise, Alexander returned his call.

Seeing Alexander's name on the phone screen, Justin raised an eyebrow and answered, “Alex?”

“It's me,” Alexander replied, then went straight to the point. “Sophia's pregnant.”

“Congratulations,” Justin said. After a brief pause, he couldn't help but ask, “But I thought you didn't likechildren?”

The fact that Alexander disliked children was known to their group of friends. It was unclear whether hegenuinely didn't like them or simply didn't want to have any due to his unfavorable upbringing when hewas a child. Zachary's infidelity had affected Alexander's perception of a warm and happy family, whichhe lacked.

When Alexander and Sophia got married for the first time, they had already asked Alexander about it.Even if he didn't like Sophia, he had already married her, and since he didn't plan to replace someone elseand there was still a long future ahead, they had suggested that he had a child with Sophia.

Samuel had been the one who asked that question. For people like them, getting married was optional,but having a child was a must.

Without a child, who would inherit their vast family fortune?

At that time, Alexander had simply said, “I don't like kids.” He didn't explain why. He had just stated hisdislike for them.

However, the few people present could tell from Alexander's expression that he was very unhappywhen he said those words.

Charles had a younger cousin who was particularly fond of him. One time, Charles had brought thisparticular cousin along, who was an adorable little girl of just three years old.

At one point, the little girl had somehow asked Alexander, the one who had the worst temper, to hugher out of all the people present.

Such a cute little girl would soften anyone's heart.

However, Alexander had just glanced at Charles and walked away.

Charles' cousin had burst into tears on the spot, and Samuel had said that Alexander had gone too far.

At that time, Alexander didn't say anything in response. He just held a glass of red wine, sat at the bar,and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, “Children are really annoying.”

Samuel asked, “If you dislike children so much, what about your own children in the future?”

Alexander's face immediately turned cold, and he replied, “I won't have children!”

Yet, after just four or five years, Sophia got pregnant.

Upon hearing Justin's words, Alexander fell silent for a moment and ultimately didn't answer thequestion. He said, “Let's not make it public for now.”

Justin wasn't as shameless as Samuel. When he saw that Alexander didn't say anything in response tohis question, he didn't continue to ask. He replied, “Don't worry. It's better for you both to announce itpersonally anyway.”

“Thanks.”

“You're welcome.”

After hanging up the phone, Alexander turned to look inside the house. Sophia was looking at thereport in her hand with a gentle smile on her face.

Alexander believed that Sophia would be a great mother.

However, it was hard to say whether he would be a qualified father or not.

He truly didn't like children. When Kristen entered the Xenos family, Thalia and Leonard were just overthree years old.

The age difference between him and them was just five and a half years. It honestly wasn't that big.

The newly arrived Thalia and Leonard didn't think much about it, and they even liked spending timearound him.

However, he didn't like them at all because not only would they follow him around, but they would alsocling to Zachary and call him Daddy in their childlike voices, which was annoying to him.

Later on, he watched the family of four live harmoniously, and he grew to dislike children even more,especially those who acted coy.

However, Sophia was pregnant now, and he was going to be a father.

Alexander wasn't as happy as he had imagined because in the near future, there would be a child whowould share Sophia's love, and he would no longer be Sophia's sole focus.
