Chapter 392 What Are You Doing

When Sophia woke up, the curtains in the room were tightly drawn, making the space dimly lit. Alexander was no longer in the room. Sophia shifted her body sideways, and the blanket on her slid off. She rolled over and looked at the curtains before telling Genie to open them.

The sunlight was no longer as bright as it had been at noon as the curtains gradually opened. Sophia got up and walked out of the room in her slippers.

She was thirsty and wanted to get some water.

As soon as she walked down the stairs, she smelled a strong aroma coming from the kitchen. She immediately spotted Alexander cooking when she reached the kitchen door.

Alexander heard her footsteps and turned around to look at her. "You're awake?"

"Yes," Sophia replied, pouring a glass of warm water. She stood half a meter away, watching him pan-fry the vegetables.

In the past, Sophia could have never imagined Alexander cooking.

To her surprise, however, she was currently privileged to enjoy his cooking.

I have to admit it feels pretty good.

"I'm almost done. You should go out and wait for me."

When she didn't leave, Alexander glanced at her again.

Sophia arched her brow and grinned. "Okay."

It was not as if she would be able to help him out in the kitchen since she was so bad at cooking.

Alexander was indeed talented in cooking, and the dishes he made always tasted amazing, even though it was his first time making them.

Sophia could still remember how horrible her cooking tasted. For the first time in her life, she thought it was unfair.

Why is Alexander so talented at cooking when we're all equal human beings?

"What are you thinking about?"

Alexander stared at her with arched brows.

Only when she heard his voice did she regain her senses. "I'm just thinking about the vast differences between people."

Alexander caught what she was implying and smiled. "One has to learn to be content with what one has."

Compared to most people, Sophia could also be considered one of the lucky few.

Many women were envious of her and despised her because of her face alone, let alone her intellect and emotional intelligence.

Sophia mulled it over and felt that his words made sense. One shouldn't be too greedy in life.

It was only just past seven o'clock after dinner, and the sky had just turned dark.

Sophia sliced some fruits and brought them out. Alexander was standing on the balcony, making a phone call.

The evening breeze in September was slightly chilly. Sophia brought the plate to him and tried to feed him a strawberry.

Alexander looked at her and parted his lips, eating the whole strawberry. In the process, his lips even deliberately touched her fingers.

Sophia curled her fingers instinctively and glanced at him. "My hand is dirty."

"It's not."

Alexander hung up the phone and enveloped her hand in his palm.

Sophia lifted her head to look at him as she lifted the plate in her other hand. "How am I supposed to eat the fruits if you're holding my hand?"

"I'll feed it to you."

As he spoke, he took a strawberry and brought it toward her mouth.

Sophia arched her brow and stole a glance at him. For some reason, she felt like getting back at him when she thought of how his lips touched her fingers.

She opened her mouth to eat the strawberry. Then, she imitated his action, ad her lips made contact with his fingertip.

While gazing at her, a warm smile graced his countenance.

Sophia stared back at him, beaming provocatively.

"Is it sweet?"

"Of course."

Alexander didn't seem to believe her words. "The one I ate was really sour."

Sophia grinned. "Then, you should try another one."

"Okay."

He released her hand and wrapped his arms around her waist before exerting some force and pulling her into his embrace. She looked up at him and asked the obvious, "What are you doing?"

"I want to taste if the strawberry was sweet as you said," he answered seriously. The next second, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

His warm breath enveloped her as he pressed his lips against hers. Bliss overwhelmed Sophia as she subconsciously closed her eyes and tightened her grip on his clothes.

It was a beautiful night, with the moon shining brightly outside, accentuating the pretty scenery.

The couple was engaged in a passionate kiss, which lasted for almost two full minutes. When they finally separated, Sophia was breathing heavily.

She pursed her lips before smiling at him. "So, is it sweet?"

"Yes."

Alexander looked down at her and caressed her brows.

Their breaths tangled together, and it was impossible to differentiate their breathing.

However, they didn't care since they were already so intimate with each other.

Sophia took a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth when he wasn't paying attention. "Dillon and Mdm. Lambe have been unusually quiet lately. Are they preparing to unleash some huge plan?"

Alexander answered calmly, "Yes."

Dillon and Kristen were indeed plotting something. The rumors about Alexander not being Zachary's son and a part of the Xenos family were never confirmed by any solid evidence.

Despite the numerous paternity test results in Kristen's possession, it had been almost two months and she still had not released them. This was not Dillon being merciful and wanting to give Alexander a way

out.

Instead, Dillon just wanted to deal the final blow at the most critical moment. However, the recent period was also a setback for him since he could not buy many of Odyssey's stocks at a low price. Even the major shareholders were reluctant to give up their shares to him.

In addition, Dillon even heard that Suny from Sunshine Group had recently contacted Odyssey's shareholders.

He was used to seeing all kinds of dirty tactics in the business world, so he knew Suny meeting these shareholders for dinner wasn't just for a friendly chat.

Dillon had previously approached Suny to discuss collaboration, but the other party refused without leaving room for discussion. Coupled with this rumor about Suny contacting the Odyssey's shareholders, Dillion already knew what was going on.

Everyone wanted a piece of Odyssey.

If Alexander fell from grace, there would be many people waiting to pick up the pieces.

Dillon didn't gain much from the previous two months of showdown.

He probably couldn't take it any longer, for he had Kristen leak Alexander's paternity test results "by accident" after a short interval of not pulling any underhanded tricks.

As soon as the paternity test results were out, chaos erupted in Jadeborough.

The next day, Sophia woke up and saw the message Yvonne had sent her.

After reading it, she couldn't help but scoff.

She had just told Alexander last night that Dillon had been well-behaved recently. To her surprise, such a bombshell dropped so early in the morning.

Now that Dillon's biggest trump card had been revealed, he no longer had any other tricks up his sleeve.

However, this news was still quite shocking, especially after receiving it so early in the morning.

Sophia went downstairs to replace Alexander after she finished washing up. Alexander, who had just finished making breakfast, was now on the phone.

Sophia overheard him saying Dillon's name on the phone when she was coming down the stairs. Curious, she picked up a glass of warm water from the dining table, sipping on it as she listened to Alexander's arrangements.

Alexander spoke to Felix on the phone without trying to hide anything from Sophia.

After hanging up the phone, Alexander looked at her and said, "Kristen has leaked the paternity test results."

"Then, what's the deal with the paternity test you mentioned earlier?" Sophia asked.

This wasn't something she had overheard; he had said it on the phone openly with her there.

Alexander sat down next to her and filled a bowl of oatmeal for her. He replied, "A while ago, I contacted the man Kristen had been in contact with before she reunited with Zachary."

Upon hearing this, Sophia couldn't help but click her tongue. "Are you saying that Thalia and Leonard might not be your biological siblings?"

"It's not a possibility. It's the truth," he said as he served her breakfast.
