Chapter 495 Stop Looking At Me Like That

Alexander, too, smiled in response. Glancing at the ring, he explained, "I originally wanted to get a new ring designed, but this pair..." He paused momentarily before resuming, "I originally wanted to make it a gift for our fifth-year anniversary."

The two had been married for three years and divorced for two, which meant it would be their fifth year of being together that year.

Alexander then removed his ring and slipped it onto Sophia's ring.

That was when Sophia realized the two rings formed the number "five" when they were placed that way.

Sophia was pleasantly surprised by the discovery. “Don't change it. I love the ring."

After all, it also signified that the three years they had spent together were not wasted.

Now that the water had cooled a little, Sophia raised the cup and took a sip.

Alexander glanced at her and added, "These will be our engagement rings. We'll see a designer tomorrow to get a pair of wedding rings designed."

Having finished the water, Sophia turned sideways and hummed in agreement.

Abruptly, Alexander carried her into his arms. Stunned, Sophia hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his shoulder, letting him take her to the master bedroom. Moments later, Sophia was deposited on the bed.

It was large and soft, so much so that Sophia sank a little into the bed when she lay on it.

Since it was her birthday that day, she wore a nicer-looking dress, as insisted by Katherine.

The hem of her dress spread out as she was placed on the bed, so she subconsciously adjusted it.

As soon as that was done, she felt the other side of the bed sink a little, causing her grip to tighten around her dress. She turned her head sideways and met the man's passionate gaze.

Staring at the man who was only an arm's reach from her, she smiled. "Aren't you tired from being on a plane for more than ten hours?"

Alexander had taken the first plane from Moranta as soon as he ended his meeting at noon and settled all the urgent tasks. Immediately after the plane landed, he rushed to Doveston and informed Perrin about his intentions to propose before making arrangements for the Dawson family to witness it that night.

For the past thirty hours, the only time Alexander managed to get some shut-eye was during his ten-hour flight.

Unfortunately, he was a light sleeper. It was pretty much impossible for him to sleep on a plane.

Hence, strictly speaking, Alexander never slept for the past thirty hours.

He was undoubtedly tired, but he missed her more than anything.

Alexander's eyes bored into hers for a good two seconds before he grabbed her by the back of the head and kissed her lips.

His action spoke volumes.

The two had not seen each other for more than two months, and their desire for each other was mutual.

Besides, it was a special day for Sophia. She had been thinking of the man in front of him ever since she left Katherine's house.

So many things had happened that day, and each one of them filled Sophia with joy.

When Alexander kissed her on the lips, she responded by wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Sophia," he called out in a deep voice, leaving a ticklish sensation in her ear.

Sophia lifted her head slightly, revealing her sparkling eyes that made Alexander feel hot all of a sudden.

As he took in her beautiful eyes, he swallowed hard and slipped his hands up her back, pulling her closer to his body. That was when Sophia felt something unusual between his legs. It was hot and hard.

His kisses had gotten much gentler, yet Sophia felt herself getting less sober, as if she was soaking in a large tub of warm water.

In her daze, her dress was already removed and on the ground.

She could not help but shiver a little as the cold air from the air conditioner brushed her skin.

"I missed you so much."

Alexander pulled away from her lips and gazed at her again.

Sophia's eyes were lowered, and her lashes trembled when she heard his words.

In the next second, his large hands that were around her waist pushed her forward, making her groan. The excitement was too much for her to bear.

Soon, the temperature in the room rose. By the time Alexander carried her out of the bathroom, she was too weak to move.

An intimate atmosphere lingered in the room as Sophia lay on the bed, her cheeks still flushed from the activity.

Alexander reached for the nearby blanket and placed it over them, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "Goodnight, Precious." Unfortunetely, he wes e light sleeper. It wes pretty much impossible for him to sleep on e plene.

Hence, strictly speeking, Alexender never slept for the pest thirty hours.

He wes undoubtedly tired, but he missed her more then enything.

Alexender's eyes bored into hers for e good two seconds before he grebbed her by the beck of the heed end kissed her lips. His ection spoke volumes.

So meny things hed heppened thet dey, end eech one of them filled Sophie with joy.

When Alexender kissed her on the lips, she responded by wrepping her erms eround his weist.

"Sophie," he celled out in e deep voice, leeving e ticklish sensetion in her eer.

Sophie lifted her heed slightly, reveeling her sperkling eyes thet mede Alexender feel hot ell of e sudden.

Soon, the tempereture in the room rose. By the time Alexender cerried her out of the bethroom, she wes too week to move.

Alexender reeched for the neerby blenket end pleced it over them, leening down to kiss her foreheed. "Goodnight, Precious." Unfortunately, he wos o light sleeper. It was pretty much impossible for him to sleep on o plone.

The form of address left Sophia's heart racing for a long time, and the man beside her had drifted off to sleep by the time she recollected herself.

The form of address left Sophia's heart racing for a long time, and the man beside her had drifted off to sleep by the time she recollected herself. She, too, was exhausted herself. Thus, it did not take long for her to fall asleep to his steady breathing.

The room was still dim when she woke up. Even Alexander was not awake yet.

Realizing that, she turned her head to look at Alexander, who was still sound asleep.

Alexander must've rushed back yesterday. Sophia guessed he had not slept much for the past few days. After all, he rushed back from Moranta and even brought the Dawson family over to witness the proposal. One had to work without stopping to rest to be able to accomplish so many things in such a short time.

The dark circles under his eyes gave her the urge to touch them.

To her surprise, Alexander opened his eyes the moment her hands touched him.

Seeing his eyes fluttering open, Sophia pulled her hand away only to have it caught by Alexander before she could do it.

There was a bleary look in his eyes instead of his usual alert gaze. Even so, Sophia could not help but feel embarrassed under it.

She struggled to free her hand, but Alexander only tightened his grip.

Sophia flushed bright red after being stared at for several seconds. "I'm getting up."

With that, she tried to pull her hand out, but to no avail.

To her surprise, Alexander exerted some force and pulled her into his embrace.

Just like that, their faces were now only a few centimeters apart. Every breath he exhaled landed on her face, leaving Sophia's face feeling hotter.

His gaze was still pinned on her, the bleariness in his bottomless eyes gone and replaced with tenderness.

Unable to endure his persistent stare, Sophia quickly covered his eyes with her hand. "Don't look at me like that, Alexander."

When she said that, her face was burning hot.

Alexander chuckled in response and moved her hand. "Why?"

Knowing what his intentions were, Sophia laughed in exasperation. Just as she was about to respond, she felt something hot in her palm.

She froze and quickly withdrew her hand when she snapped back to reality.
