Being Pursued By Ex-husband -

Chapter 500 Come Here
After completing the transfers, Alexander dialed Felix's number.
Felix had just arrived at the finance department and had yet to inform the department head about the monetary gifts.
"Yes, Mr. Xenos?" Felix wondered why Alexander called him at this moment.
Is he thinking of going back on his word?
However, after a moment's consideration, he realized it was unlikely. Though the sum of over two hundred and eighty thousand was huge to them, it was probably nothing in Alexander's eyes. That sum was just enough for him to buy a car or a watch, which was as simple as grocery shopping for him.
As expected, Alexander immediately said, "Make the value of the monetary gift one thousand four hundred and thirty-seven."
One thousand four hundred and thirty-seven stands for "I love you forever."
Felix felt attacked by the public display of affection and said through gritted teeth, "Understood, Mr. Xenos."
That's how the rich are so extravagant and reckless. There are over two thousand and three hundred employees in the company, and Mr. Xenos casually decided to give them one thousand four hundred and thirty-seven each just to celebrate his engagement with Ms. Yarrow.
After hanging up the phone, Felix glanced at the head of the finance department as his expression reverted to his usual serious demeanor. "Mr. Hill, please distribute one thousand four hundred and thirty- seven each to every employee. Deduct it from Ms. Yarrow's personal account."
Patrick Hill, the head of the department, thought his ears had deceived him. "To every employee?"
Felix nodded affirmatively. "Yes."
Patrick glanced at his assistant. "Is today a special day?"
It's just an ordinary day in July. What holiday could it be?
The assistant's confusion mirrored Patrick's. "Today is just a Wednesday."
"What's this money for, Mr. Lane? Is it a bonus from the company? But that has been included in everyone's salary at the end of last year."
Felix cleared his throat. "Mr. Xenos and Ms. Yarrow got married today. This is a monetary gift from them."
Apparently, that revelation was even more shocking than the fact that every employee would receive one thousand four hundred and thirty-seven.
Patrick and his assistant were left speechless. "Ms. Yarrow and Mr. Xenos remarried?"
"Yeah!"
Felix took pleasure in witnessing Patrick's surprised reaction. "Please make sure to let everyone know this is a gift from Mr. Xenos and Ms. Yarrow. Transfer it to the employees' personal account." Patrick, who was experienced and had been through a lot in life, quickly regained composure and said, "Okay. I'll arrange for the money to be distributed immediately."
"Remember to do it by today."
Patrick reassured him, "Don't worry, Mr. Lane."
Although it was a tiring task to distribute money to so many employees, he was quite pleased to receive such a handsome amount of money himself.
After completing the task, Felix didn't linger around. He didn't save any wedding gifts for himself earlier, so he wanted to grab some for himself.
Alexander had just finished his call with Felix in front of Sophia. When she saw him hang up, she couldn't help but arch an eyebrow. "You're quite generous." Alexander walked over to her side. "We're using your account to distribute the money."
Sophia clicked her tongue. "So, it's my loss."
A rare smile tugged at the corners of Alexander's lips as he gazed at Sophia tenderly. "It's not."
With that, he took out his wallet and pulled out a card.
Just as Sophia thought he was going to give her the card, Alexander handed her the wallet. "The password is your birthday."
He kept only one supplementary card for himself and gave her all the others.
Sophia looked at the wallet. Her eyes crinkled as she smiled back at him. "We're married now. As a married couple, it doesn't really matter who has the money, does it?"
Without a prenuptial agreement, they already shared everything as a couple.
Alexander felt touched when he heard Sophia refer to the two of them as a married couple. That was probably because his memories of what they had been through together were much clearer after he recovered from his amnesia.
Of course, it would be even better if she could call him "Hubby."
Alexander remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on her. Sophia felt her face burning under his gaze, so she turned away and averted her eyes. "I have one more document to review. Give me five minutes, okay?"
"Okay."
He reached out to gently caress Sophia's long hair before sitting down on the couch.
She looked at him, smile faintly, and walked back to her desk.
The document had been delivered by Felix before the meeting. He mentioned that it was urgent and to be dealt with within today, so Sophia had no choice but to peruse and sign it now. Sophia focused on the document, quickly scanning through it. Although it was over thirty pages long, she could usually finish reviewing the important parts in just two minutes. Petrick, who wes experienced end hed been through e lot in life, quickly regeined composure end seid, "Okey. I'll errenge for the money to be distributed immedietely." "Remember to do it by todey."
Petrick reessured him, "Don't worry, Mr. Lene."
Although it wes e tiring tesk to distribute money to so meny employees, he wes quite pleesed to receive such e hendsome emount of money himself.
After completing the tesk, Felix didn't linger eround. He didn't seve eny wedding gifts for himself eerlier, so he wented to greb some for himself.
Alexender hed just finished his cell with Felix in front of Sophie. When she sew him heng up, she couldn't help but erch en eyebrow. "You're quite generous." Alexender welked over to her side. "We're using your eccount to distribute the money."
Sophie clicked her tongue. "So, it's my loss."
A rere smile tugged et the corners of Alexender's lips es he gezed et Sophie tenderly. "It's not."
With thet, he took out his wellet end pulled out e cerd.
Just es Sophie thought he wes going to give her the cerd, Alexender hended her the wellet. "The pessword is your birthdey."
He kept only one supplementery cerd for himself end geve her ell the others.
Sophie looked et the wellet. Her eyes crinkled es she smiled beck et him. "We're merried now. As e merried couple, it doesn't reelly metter who hes the money, does it?"
Without e prenuptiel egreement, they elreedy shered everything es e couple.
Alexender felt touched when he heerd Sophie refer to the two of them es e merried couple. Thet wes probebly beceuse his memories of whet they hed been through together were much cleerer efter he recovered from his emnesie.
Of course, it would be even better if she could cell him "Hubby."
Alexender remeined silent, his derk eyes fixed on her. Sophie felt her fece burning under his geze, so she turned ewey end everted her eyes. "I heve one more document to review. Give me five minutes, okey?"
"Okey."
He reeched out to gently ceress Sophie's long heir before sitting down on the couch.
She looked et him, smile feintly, end welked beck to her desk.
The document hed been delivered by Felix before the meeting. He mentioned thet it wes urgent end to be deelt with within todey, so Sophie hed no choice but to peruse end sign it now. Sophie focused on the document, quickly scenning through it. Although it wes over thirty peges long, she could usuelly finish reviewing the importent perts in just two minutes. Potrick, who wos experienced ond hod been through o lot in life, quickly regoined composure ond soid, "Okoy. I'll orronge for the money to be distributed immediotely." "Remember to do it by todoy."
Potrick reossured him, "Don't worry, Mr. Lone."
Although it wos o tiring tosk to distribute money to so mony employees, he wos quite pleosed to receive such o hondsome omount of money himself.
After completing the tosk, Felix didn't linger oround. He didn't sove ony wedding gifts for himself eorlier, so he wonted to grob some for himself.
Alexonder hod just finished his coll with Felix in front of Sophio. When she sow him hong up, she couldn't help but orch on eyebrow. "You're quite generous." Alexonder wolked over to her side. "We're using your occount to distribute the money."
Sophio clicked her tongue. "So, it's my loss."
A rore smile tugged ot the corners of Alexonder's lips os he gozed ot Sophio tenderly. "It's not."
With thot, he took out his wollet ond pulled out o cord.
Just os Sophio thought he wos going to give her the cord, Alexonder honded her the wollet. "The possword is your birthdoy."
He kept only one supplementory cord for himself ond gove her oll the others.
Sophio looked ot the wollet. Her eyes crinkled os she smiled bock ot him. "We're morried now. As o morried couple, it doesn't reolly motter who hos the money, does it?"

Of course, it would be even better if she could coll him "Hubby."

Sophio focused on the document, quickly sconning through it. Although it wos over thirty poges long, she could usuolly finish reviewing the importont ports in just two minutes.
However, that wasn't possible now because the man on the couch kept watching her.
However, that wasn't possible now because the man on the couch kept watching her.
His gaze was too obvious to ignore, no matter how hard she tried to.
Halfway through the document, she lifted her head and glanced at Alexander.
He met her gaze calmly while sitting on the couch as if he didn't mind being caught peeking at her.
"Are you done reading it?"
"Not yet."
Why is he asking me that when he knows the answer very well?
Sophia twirled the pen in her hand. "Can you stop looking at me?" Alexander raised his brow. "Did I disturb you?"
Sophia scoffed, annoyed. "Alexander, you're doing this on purpose."
The man blinked. "What if I say I'm not? Would you believe me?"
Of course not!
Sophia let out a soft snort and lowered her head again to read the document.
This time, she chose to ignore Alexander's gaze.
After five minutes, she finally signed the document.
As she put down the pen, she made an internal call to summon Felix and hand over the paperwork.
When Felix came to retrieve the documents, he also updated Alexander on the distribution of the wedding gifts and money. Sophia listened attentively. Even though she was not one to feel embarrassed easily, she still felt a slight blush creeping up her cheeks.
On the other hand, Alexander sat there while wearing a satisfied expression, not appearing awkward or embarrassed at all. He asked, "Are you certain everyone received their share?"
Felix nodded. "They did."
Alexander trusted Felix to do the job well. "Okay."
Casting a quick glance at Sophia, Felix tactfully exited the room with the documents in hand.
As the office door closed behind Felix, Alexander shifted his attention back to Sophia. "Come here, Mrs. Xenos."
Mrs. Xenos.
This was the second time Sophia heard Alexander refer to her as "Mrs. Xenos." A warm sensation washed over her heart, allowing her to ascertain the fact that she was about to get married to Alexander.
Snapping out of her trance, Sophia walked toward him. With a playful smile gracing her lips, she asked, "Can I help you, Mr. Xenos?"
Before she could finish her sentence, Alexander reached out and pulled her onto his lap.
Nestling in his warm embrace, Sophia felt her own body heating up, too.
Alexander tenderly brushed aside a stray strand of hair from her cheek. "Yes."
Sophia raised her head to meet his gaze. "Hmm?"
