Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 535

The staff, sharp enough to see the couple wavering, continued persuading them about how unforgettable the experience would be. It would certainly become a heartwarming memory they could always reminisce about in the future.

Staring at the staff who was desperately trying to convince them, Sophia couldn't help but chuckle. “You're right. We'll go up on stage and have some fun.”

The staff was almost moved to tears when Sophia agreed. “What's your surname, miss?”

“It's Yarrow.”

“And you sir?”

“Xenos.”

“All right then, Ms. Yarrow and Mr. Xenos. Please follow me.”

Sophia glanced at Alexander before both of them followed the staff to the left side of the stage.

Thereafter, the second batch of five couples got ready. Among them, two couples were hired by the organizers. They rarely talked to each other and were mostly on their phones. The fact that they weren't particularly intimate made it easy for Sophia to see through them.

Soon, when the host invited all of them on stage, the staff ushered them up accordingly.

Alexander and Sophia walked up the stage holding hands. The jarring spotlight that shifted in their

direction caused Sophia to squint her eyes a little.

The stage was relatively big, as it stretched for more than ten meters. Although the glaring lights prevented those at the back from seeing the participants on stage clearly, those standing in front had no such problem at all.

Among the five couples, Sophia and Alexander were the tallest. Alexander was almost one meter and ninety centimeters tall, while Sophia was one meter and sixty-eight centimeters tall. As the two of them had stunning-looking features and outstanding aura, the crowd below couldn't help but wonder if they were models hired by the event organizer.

Before the game began, the host would exchange pleasantries with the participants just to liven up the atmosphere.

He was rather surprised by the sight of Sophia and Alexander. “Wow, this couple looks amazing! Sir, miss, may I know your names?”

When the microphone was brought toward Sophia, she replied with a smile, “Yarrow.”

“Xenos.”

With the spotlight shining directly at the two of them, those in the front row got a clear view of the duo.

“Oh, my God! What a gorgeous couple. That young lady is just so pretty. Just look at her porcelain white skin and that bewitching smile. Ah! I'm going to take a picture of them as a keepsake. Once they join the entertainment industry, I'll be able to show it off!”

“Wow, I can't believe how good-looking the Yarrow girl and Xenos guy are! D*mn it, how are the rest going to compete with such a pretty couple? Are they really not celebrities?”

“Quick, look! That girl is hot! Woohoo, that guy is just as handsome too. They really do make a beautiful pair. I wonder if they were hired by the organizers. I would certainly like to take a picture with them.”

Good-looking folks were always popular with everyone due to the fact that they were eye candy.

Obviously, the host could hear the comments from below the stage. “I've heard plenty of compliments from our audience about how charming Ms. Yarrow and Mr. Xenos are. So, let me ask the two of you, do you work in the entertainment or modeling industry?”

Having grown used to being admired on stage ever since she was young, Sophia was unfazed by the host's cheeky question. “Nope.”

“Given how great both of you look, do you feel confident in winning the game tonight?”

Sophia threw Alexander a glance before answering smilingly, “I do.”

“Hahaha, it looks like these two are filled with confidence and show no sign of nerves. In that case, I wish both of you the best of luck.”

“Thank you.”

The game finally began after the short chat.

Sophia and Alexander were brought to the right side of the stage where Sophia was required to walk along a path that was about a meter wide. Obstacles were placed on both sides and the center of the path.

Soon, the staff issued a blindfold to the one giving directions.

After taking the blindfold in his hands, Alexander walked up to Sophia and looked down at her. “Have you memorized it?”

Sophia's eyes glistened abruptly as she asked, “How did you know?”

A glint flashed across Alexander's eyes as he kept the answer to himself. “It's time to put on the blindfold, Mrs. Xenos.”

With a curl of her lips, Sophia gradually closed her eyes.

The blindfold provided by the organizers was relatively thick, but it felt loose on Sophia's small face, allowing her to see some light from the corner of her eyes. Nevertheless, she couldn't see anything else other than that.

Meanwhile, the crowd below the stage was really huge, while the host's commentary added to the lively atmosphere.

Due to Sophia's and Alexander's outstanding appearances and figures, the host and many in the crowd were focused on them.

“Let me bring your attention to Ms. Yarrow and Mr. Xenos. Both of them must enjoy a very good relationship, as their hands are tightly clasped together even when the game has yet to begin.”

The host's words brought a gentle blush to Sophia's cheeks.

Soon, Alexander released Sophia's hand when the game finally started. Standing still, Sophia couldn't see a thing, and the surrounding noise was all that she could hear.

When given a microphone as the guide, Alexander began to speak into it. “Sophia, I'm standing on your right.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the girls below the stage found his sonorous voice to be particularly melodious.

“We can see that Mr. Xenos is a very attentive boyfriend. The first thing he did was to make sure Ms. Yarrow knows where he is.”

The other participants on stage didn't react as quickly as Alexander. Although they called out to their girlfriends, they didn't inform them of their locations.

“All right now, you have one minute. Good luck!”

Walking a ten-meter path in a minute was an easy task until one had to be blindfolded and avoid obstacles placed along the way.

With no microphone in hand, Sophia turned to look at her right by reflex. Only then did she realize she couldn't see anything, including Alexander because she was blindfolded.

In spite of that, she could feel Alexander's presence on the right after catching the scent of his cologne.

Curling her lips slightly, she soon heard Alexander's voice. “Take seven steps forward, Sophia.”

Truth be told, Sophia had memorized the location of the obstacles, but her sense of direction was clouded by the blindfold. Moreover, it was hard for her to gauge the distance under those conditions. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

As Alexander had used number of steps to solve her problem, she did as he instructed. Consequently, she remembered that the second obstacle was on her right.

Alexander continued, “Two steps to the left.”

Sophia combined Alexander's guidance with what she memorized and led the two of them to the end of the path in less than half a minute.

The moment she took off her blindfold, a random clap soon broke into thunderous applause.

“Twenty-five seconds without knocking any obstacles down. You guys are amazing, Ms. Yarrow and Mr. Xenos!”

Just as Sophia turned around, she could feel Alexander holding her hand the very next second.
