Chapter 624 Congratulations On Your Marriage

The sun had already risen by the time Sophia woke up. Even with the curtains closed, she could stillsee some light spilling through the gaps.

Before she could turn around, the man beside her pulled her into his embrace with a tug.

Alexander lowered his head and rested his chin on her face, his stubble rubbing against her skin.

Immediately, Sophia’s drowsiness was dispelled. With a snort, she pushed his face away. “That feelsitchy!”

Her voice was a little hoarse as she had just woken up.

Surprisingly, he let her go and nuzzled her hand. Gazing deep into her eyes, he said, “Congratulationson your marriage, Mrs. Xenos.”

His words lifted Sophia’s spirits, and she turned around to peck him on the lips. “Congratulations onyour wedding, Mr. Xenos.”

With that, she rubbed her head against his chest.

The warmth Alexander exuded made her reach out and hug him, unwilling to let go.

The two did not sleep too late last night. In fact, it was only around nine by the time they reached themansion after handing the event over to the Dawsons.

Since Sophia was pregnant, the two barely did anything extreme. Around ten, Sophia’s biological clock

kicked into action, sending her fast to sleep.

While the sun shone brightly outside, the digital clock on the side told them it was close to nine in themorning. They had been sleeping for almost eleven hours; Sophia was already feeling hungry.

Ever since Kristen and the others were kicked out of the mansion, Alexander did not bother keeping thehousekeepers. Cleaners would only come to clean and tidy the house periodically.

Therefore, the huge mansion was incredibly quiet. Felix had already sent someone to deliver breakfastthere.

Eyeing the woman in his arms, Alexander lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. Onlythen did he let her go. “Let’s have breakfast first.”

Sophia had been sleeping a lot that month. Then again, it was only normal for her to sleep more sinceshe was pregnant.

Sophia merely glanced at him but had no intentions of moving.

The warm blanket was too tempting in the cold weather.

A rare smile formed on Alexander’s lips. “Do you not want to get up?”

Sophia curled her lips. “I will in a while.”

She did not want to get up. Getting out of bed in the winter was especially difficult.

Alexander gazed at her for a while before pulling the covers over her, not bothering to urge heranymore. With that, he got up and entered the bathroom to take a shower.

Still, Sophia refused to get out of bed. When Alexander saw her pretending to be asleep after hisshower, he walked over with a blanket and lifted her up, forcing her out of bed.

By the time she had finished washing up, Alexander had brought breakfast upstairs. It was a bowl ofbutternut squash and peppers oatmeal, probably a way to bring in good luck.

Sophia’s appetite had been affected due to her pregnancy. She usually ate frequently but in smallportions a day. Hence, a bowl of oatmeal in the morning was enough to make her feel full.

It was already half past nine when she had finished breakfast. Seeing the weather was great that day,Sophia slipped on her jacket and went to the garden for a walk with Alexander.

Alexander rarely returned to the mansion, but he had given the building a makeover three monthsbefore their marriage. Thus, most of the necessities were already prepared.

The truth was, Sophia did not like living in such a spacious house. The mansion was about fivehundred square meters and had four and a half levels. Excluding the first floor, which had the garden,the kitchen, and the housekeepers’ room, the second and third floors had a total of eight rooms. Besidethe mansion was another small mansion, which Beau apparently requested to be built for Alexander tolive in after he had gotten married. Now that Alexander was the only one left in the Xenos family, he didnot touch the extra mansion.

The main mansion itself was too huge, and with only her and Alexander living in it, Sophia was a little

unused to the space.

After the renovation, the house was equipped with a smart home manager, and the garden was leveledoff before being filled with Sophia’s favorite flowers. The housekeeper’s room near the garden wastransformed into a tearoom, its thick walls turned into full-length windows so one could see the gardenfrom there.

There was nothing much to see in the winter, but it was a pleasant sight to sit there on a rainy day inspring.

In the garden was a courtyard equipped with a grill—most likely an inspiration Alexander got from theirlast holiday trip.

As the sun got warmer, the two strolled around the garden, observing the Xenos residence that lookednothing like before.

“Do you want to have a look at the interior?”

Sophia tilted her head to glance at him. “Okay.”

They had been too busy and rushed with the wedding the previous day that Sophia barely had the timeto see what was different in the newly renovated house.

The second floor was mainly the living area. It had a living room, dining room, kitchen, and three guestrooms. As requested by Alexander, both the living room and dining room were connected, giving onethe perception of a huge area as soon as they arrived at the second floor.

Meanwhile, the third floor had two main bedrooms, two guestrooms, and a study. Beau’s old room wason the fourth floor.

Alexander had broken down the walls between the two main bedrooms, turning it into a huge masterbedroom and installing an office there. On the other hand, the study was connected with a guestroom,turning it into a space that was fifty square meters wide—a play area for the children. The other guestbedroom and shrunken main bedroom would become the children’s bedroom.

Furthermore, the bedrooms on the fourth floor had been transformed into a home theater and arecreational area. Finally, the attic, which was about forty square meters, became a storeroom.

Thanks to the renovation, the division of space in the Xenos residence became much clearer. Thetraditional layout no longer existed, and the lighting of the interior was much better.

Sophia followed Alexander around the mansion, which had no more traces of the past.

The two’s wedding last night was the talk of the town. In fact, the ceremony was the highlight of thenews. Regardless, Sophia was unaware of it until she saw the screenshots Katherine sent.

For the past few days, Alexander’s phone had been switched off completely. The couple had beenspending their time in the mansion, so they had no idea what was circulating on the internet.

Since the two did not like going out, Alexander got Felix to buy some books and courses on parentingto study. Although they seemed to be performing quite well, they still had no idea what it would actuallybe like in real life.

On the second day after the wedding, Sophia and Alexander dropped by the Dawson residence.

This time, Alexander was visiting the Dawson residence with a different identity.

Meanwhile, Sophia was no longer involved in Sunshine Group, though she occasionally returned tohold important meetings with the senior executives.

The moment Sophia exited the conference room, she felt the change in temperature.

Before she even stepped out of the company, Alexander had already walked over and was about toremove his coat for her. Seeing that, she stopped him. “It’s just a short walk. I’ll be fine.”

After all, she had just come out of a heated room and was feeling toasty. I won’t be feeling cold sosoon. Besides, the car’s just twenty meters away. I can handle it.

Raising his brow in disbelief, Alexander draped the coat over her and placed his arm around hershoulders. “Stay close.”

Thanks to his towering body, his coat practically swallowed Sophia.

Even when the wind blew, all Sophia felt was Alexander’s warmth enveloping her.
