Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 501

“I was thinking when can we send out the wedding invitation cards?”

The man's deep voice rang out beside her ear. She was momentarily taken aback, and when she returned to her senses, she chuckled. “Why are you in such a hurry, Mr. Xenos?”

We have just only gotten registered, and he wants to hold a wedding already?

“Yes,” replied Alexander almost immediately. He didn't waste a single second hesitating.

Sophia threw him a glance and said, “We'll hold the wedding once you are done dealing with the issue in Moranta.”

“Okay.”

He was so quick in his response that something seemed amiss to Sophia. “There must be quite a lot of matters to tend to in UI, no?”

Alexander nodded and kissed her on her lips all of a sudden. “Now that Truce and the others have been released, they're trying to rope in the old shareholders.”

“How persistent of them.”

They still hadn't given up on trying to take over UI when things had already reached this point.

“It's going to be six o'clock soon. Shall we go for dinner?” asked Alexander.

Sophia nodded in response and stood up.

Alexander did the same as Sophia walked over to the desk to grab her bag. The moment she turned around, Alexander took her hand.

She looked down, smiled, and said nothing before walking out of the office with Alexander.

Some employees of Odyssey had already received one thousand four hundred and thirty-seven with the payment remark “monetary gift.” Most of them had no idea why they received that amount of money until the wedding gifts were distributed to them. It was then they realized that Alexander and Sophia had registered their marriage.

Very soon, all of Odyssey's staff found out about the good news.

The moment the couple stepped out of the elevator, two of the receptionists who were more than ten meters away congratulated them, “Mr. Xenos, Ms. Yarrow, we wish the both of you a long and blissful life ahead.”

Their voices resonated loudly in the empty reception area.

Sophia blushed furiously while Alexander appeared exceptionally calm. Holding her hand, he walked past the reception counter with her and said, “Thank you.”

When Sophia heard that, she followed suit and thanked them as well.

She turned to look at Alexander and wanted to chide him for making this such a big deal, but she

decided against it when she caught sight of his faint smile. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Noticing her gaze, Alexander asked her, “What's wrong? Do you not like it?”

He knew that Sophia never liked drawing attention, but he wanted the whole world to know that they were married.

She shook her head with a smile. “No.”

“What did you want to say just now?”

Sophia looked into those jet-black eyes of his and laughed. “You look very handsome today.”

Alexander knew that was not what she wanted to say, but he did not pursue the matter. “Mrs. Xenos, you're particularly beautiful today too.”

Sophia raised her brows and said, “Thanks.”

All Alexander wanted to do was pull her into his arms when he saw her adorable expression.

Unfortunately, he could not do so because they were out in public and not at home.

He gulped and tamped down his desire before forcing himself to look away. “How about grilled fish for dinner?”

“Sure.”

The two of them walked up to the car and drove away. Sophia took out her phone and saw that Katherine had sent her quite a number of messages.

The first message started with a crying emoticon and read: Soph, I can't believe you really got married. I'm devastated. My rich friend no longer belongs to me. Do you still love me now that you're married? I don't care. You must love me! Oh my! Soph, you're trending again! Alexander is impressive!

Two pictures were then sent over with the caption: Take a look! Gosh! You look gorgeous in your marriage certificate photo. I'm so lucky to have such a wealthy and beautiful lady as my best friend. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

It was only after reading all of Katherine's messages that Sophia realized that Alexander had posted their photo on Twitter.

Chaos broke out on the internet right now. After all, their divorce back then had made the headlines.

Initially, Sophia wanted to log into her Twitter and take a look, but her account crashed due to the endless flow of private messages she received. Left with no choice, she could only log into her alternate account.

Katherine shared Alexander's post almost as soon as it was published, and in a matter of a few hours, Sophia and Alexander's remarriage had become the top trending topic on the Internet.

However, the netizens had different opinions when it came to the reconciliation of Sophia and Alexander.

Most of them wished the happy couple well. However, quite a number of them felt that Sophia should

not get back together with Alexander since she suffered a lot during the last three years.

Even though Katherine said that she did not want Sophia and Alexander to get back together, she still defended the couple whenever someone said something nasty or opposed their relationship.

There was a comment under the post Katherine shared that read: Ah! They still end up together, huh? I just don't get it. Ms. Yarrow is pretty and rich. Why does she have to remarry Alexander? She's so cheap!

To that, Katherine wrote: What's wrong? Can't a beautiful and wealthy woman pursue love and happiness? Love just happens. Nothing else matters as long as Sophia is happy. Who gave you the right to comment on other people's relationships? I think you're the one who's cheap!

As expected, Katherine's comment became a trending topic as well.

Sophia found the whole thing amusing and was engrossed in watching the drama unfold, still enjoying it even when the car came to a stop.

It was only natural for her to be interested since the gossip was about her.

Alexander unbuckled his seat belt and leaned over when he saw Sophia still looking at her phone. He immediately saw those awful comments.

Looking at her, he asked, “Sophia, why did you forgive me?”

Sophia was taken aback when she heard his question, but she soon regained her senses and looked at Alexander, smiling. “I won't say that I forgave you. When I think about it from your point of view, you

haven't done anything wrong. After all, I was the one who forced you to marry me, didn't I?'

It was her first time falling in love with someone. When emotions got involved, one could often lose sight of what they were doing.

Alexander was an outstanding man, and there would be other women who would be interested in him. When the opportunity arose, all Sophia could think of was to seize it and be the first woman to stand by Alexander's side. She didn't think too much about the rest.

Reality proved that her decision was right. They did end up together, albeit going through an arduous and difficult journey.

Back then, she was the one who started it and dove headfirst into this relationship willingly. Even if Alexander was at fault too, what he did wasn't unforgivable.

People tended to make mistakes when they were in the prime of their youth.

It was not like Sophia had forgiven Alexander. Instead, she had become more mature and handled relationships with a more rational approach.

“It's my fault,” said Alexander. He paused for a while before continuing, “If I had spent more time looking at you, we probably wouldn't have to go through so many hardships.”

Sophia could not help but smile when she recognized he was praising her. “I'm hungry.”

“Let's go.”

“Okay.”

They were both smart, knowing that past mistakes were meant to be a lesson instead of a punishment for their current selves.
