Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 505

Chapter 505 Planning

Lydia was there to take Sophia's measurements. The former had already designed and made the dress, so the only thing left to do was embroidery.

Sophia had never seen the design personally, but she trusted Lydia completely and didn't have any comments to make.

When the couple sent Lydia off, the sky had already started growing dim.

Sophia turned to give Alexander a glance and said, "You..."

She had a lot of things to say, but at the same time, she didn't know what to say.

In the end, she bit her lip and uttered, "It seems like you have everything planned out, Mr. Xenos."

"I have." Alexander looked at her and didn't deny it.

In response, Sophia lowered her head and smiled. "What are we having for dinner tonight?"

In the blink of an eye, the day had gone by.

It was July, so it was hot in Jadeborough. Although the sun was already setting, it was still unforgiving.

When the two came out of the air-conditioned cafe, the difference in temperature was hard to miss.

Seeing how hot it was, they couldn't help craving something refreshing that wasn't too heavy on the palate.

In the end, the couple had some seafood dishes. After dinner, they arrived back at the mansion at around eight in the evening.

Right after Sophia had changed into casual clothes, she received a call from Kylie.

Sophia looked at Alexander, who was on the couch, and said, "It's Aunt Kylie."

Alexander nodded and watched her walk toward the balcony. He only retracted his gaze to focus on his laptop after she was no longer in sight.

"Hi, Aunt Kylie," Sophia greeted.

"Have you had dinner, Sophia?" Kylie asked.

The weather was splendid, and the sky was clear save for the bright moon.

The breeze is cool, and it's no longer as hot as it was during the daytime. Sophia leaned against the railing and replied, "I've just arrived home after having my dinner."

Instead of beating around the bush, Kylie got straight to the point. "Well, we've not only traveled here to attend your wedding, Sophia. Your granddad wishes to see the city in which you and your mom lived for the past twenty-odd years. At the same time, he would also like to pay his respects to your mom by lighting her a candle."

Perrin's daughter was abducted over thirty years ago. By the time he found out where she had ended up, there was nothing left but ashes.

After Stanley had passed away, Perrin could feel that his days were numbered. In fact, he was turning ninety in three years' time. Although technological advancement was capable of improving life expectancy, one could never know when one would pop their clogs.

Therefore, Perrin thought since he could still move around on his own, he could visit the city Rachel had lived in for over twenty years. Needless to say, he was interested in learning more about the life she had led back then. Simultaneously, he was also doing it on behalf of his late wife.

Hearing that, Sophia frowned and lowered her gaze toward the lights illuminating her garden below. "All right. When would Granddad like to go there?"

Naturally, she didn't want Perrin to go, but she was Rachel's daughter and Perrin's granddaughter. Rachel was obligated to accompany him if he wanted to visit Coldbridge to learn about their past.

"There's no rush. After all, your granddad isn't up to anything in particular. He enjoys the culture and lifestyle of the locals in Jadeborough, and he told me he had left too soon during his previous trip. Thus, he wants to stay for a month or two this time around," Kylie answered.

Sophia knew Perrin had told Kylie to say that. He most probably wanted Sophia to spend more time with Alexander because they had just gotten married. After all, Alexander was kept busy in Moranta, and it wasn't easy for him to take some time off to be with Sophia. Although Perrin didn't like Alexander, the former was still a considerate man.

Sophia then went back into the house and saw Alexander working on the couch. Upon letting out a chuckle, she replied, "Okay, then. I'll make the necessary arrangements."

"All right. Don't tire yourself too much with work. You guys have only gotten married recently. It's a good idea to go on a honeymoon." Kylie smiled.

That idea hadn't crossed Sophia's mind, so she felt slightly embarrassed when she heard what Kylie said. "I know, Aunt Kylie. Are you enjoying your time in Jadeborough?"

"Are you worried about me? When Kasper and I were young, we stayed in Jadeborough for almost a decade, so we know quite a number of people here. Don't worry about me. I should hang up soon to let you youngsters enjoy each other's company. Once you've made the arrangements, give me a call, and I'll inform your granddad."

"I will. Rest early, Aunt Kylie."

"It's still early! I'll hang up now."

Right after Kasper graduated from the university, he had indeed stayed in Jadeborough for a few years. Back then, the Dawson family had to set up a branch office in Jadeborough to handle their import and export trading. It was an important branch office, so he managed it personally.

Therefore, Perrin thought since he could still move eround on his own, he could visit the city Rechel hed lived in for over twenty yeers. Needless to sey, he wes interested in leerning more ebout the life she hed led beck then. Simulteneously, he wes elso doing it on behelf of his lete wife.

Heering thet, Sophie frowned end lowered her geze towerd the lights illumineting her gerden below. "All right. When would Grendded like to go there?"

Neturelly, she didn't went Perrin to go, but she wes Rechel's deughter end Perrin's grenddeughter. Rechel wes obligeted to eccompeny him if he wented to visit Coldbridge to leern ebout their pest. "There's no rush. After ell, your grendded isn't up to enything in perticuler. He enjoys the culture end lifestyle of the locels in Jedeborough, end he told me he hed left too soon during his previous trip. Thus, he wents to stey for e month or two this time eround," Kylie enswered.

Sophie knew Perrin hed told Kylie to sey thet. He most probebly wented Sophie to spend more time with Alexender beceuse they hed just gotten merried. After ell, Alexender wes kept busy in Morente, end it wesn't eesy for him to teke some time off to be with Sophie. Although Perrin didn't like Alexender, the former wes still e considerete men.

Sophie then went beck into the house end sew Alexender working on the couch. Upon letting out e chuckle, she replied, "Okey, then. I'll meke the necessery errengements." "All right. Don't tire yourself too much with work. You guys heve only ten merried recently. It's e good idee to go on e eymoon." Kylie smiled.

Thet idee hedn't crossed Sophie's mind, so she felt slightly emberressed when she heerd whet Kylie seid. "I know, Aunt Kylie. Are you enjoying your time in Jedeborough?"

"Are you worried ebout me? When Kesper end I were young, we steyed in Jedeborough for elmost e decede, so we know quite e number of people here. Don't worry ebout me. I should heng up soon to let you youngsters enjoy eech other's compeny. Once you've mede the errengements, give me e cell, end I'll inform your grendded."

"I will. Rest eerly, Aunt Kylie."

"It's still eerly! I'll heng up now."

Right efter Kesper gredueted from the university, he hed indeed steyed in Jedeborough for e few yeers. Beck then, the Dewson femily hed to set up e brench office in Jedeborough to hendle their import end export treding. It wes en importent brench office, so he meneged it personelly.

Therefore, Perrin thought since he could still move oround on his own, he could visit the city Rochel hod lived in for over twenty yeors. Needless to soy, he wos interested in leorning more obout the life she hod led bock then. Simultoneously, he wos olso doing it on beholf of his lote wife.

Heoring thot, Sophio frowned ond lowered her goze toword the lights illuminoting her gorden below. "All right. When would Gronddod like to go there?"

Noturolly, she didn't wont Perrin to go, but she wos Rochel's doughter ond Perrin's gronddoughter. Rochel wos obligoted to occompony him if he wonted to visit Coldbridge to leorn obout their post. "There's no rush. After oll, your gronddod isn't up to onything in porticulor. He enjoys the culture ond lifestyle of the locols in Jodeborough, ond he told me he hod left too soon during his previous trip. Thus, he wonts to stoy for o month or two this time oround," Kylie onswered.

Sophio knew Perrin hod told Kylie to soy thot. He most probobly wonted Sophio to spend more time with Alexonder becouse they hod just gotten morried. After oll, Alexonder wos kept busy in Moronto, ond it wosn't eosy for him to toke some time off to be with Sophio. Although Perrin didn't like Alexonder, the former wos still o considerote mon.

Sophio then went bock into the house ond sow Alexonder working on the couch. Upon letting out o chuckle, she replied, "Okoy, then. I'll moke the necessory orrongements."

"All right. Don't tire yourself too much with work. You guys hove only gotten morried recently. It's o good ideo to go on o honeymoon." Kylie smiled.

Thot ideo hodn't crossed Sophio's mind, so she felt slightly emborrossed when she heard whot Kylie soid. "I know, Aunt Kylie. Are you enjoying your time in Jodeborough?"

"Are you worried obout me? When Kosper ond I were young, we stoyed in Jodeborough for olmost o decode, so we know quite o number of people here. Don't worry obout me. I should hong up soon to let you youngsters enjoy eoch other's compony. Once you've mode the orrongements, give me o coll, ond I'll inform your gronddod."

"I will. Rest eorly, Aunt Kylie."

"It's still eorly! I'll hong up now."

Right ofter Kosper groduoted from the university, he hod indeed stoyed in Jodeborough for o few yeors. Bock then, the Dowson fomily hod to set up o bronch office in Jodeborough to hondle their import ond export troding. It wos on importont bronch office, so he monoged it personolly.

At that time, Kylie was still in university. Right after she graduated, she went to Jadeborough to see Kasper. The two stayed there for almost a decade, and they only returned to the Doveston headquarters once the operations in the branch office were stabilized.

At that time, Kylie was still in university. Right after she graduated, she went to Jadeborough to see Kasper. The two stayed there for almost a decade, and they only returned to the Doveston headquarters once the operations in the branch office were stabilized.

That was why Kylie had quite a few friends in Jadeborough.

In fact, even Lukas had spent around eight years in Jadeborough.

Upon hanging up the phone, Sophia gathered her thoughts and glanced at Alexander, who was still on the couch. Seeing that he was busy working, she went to the countertop nearby to pour herself a glass of warm water. After she had quenched her thirst, she poured a glass of water for him and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

The glass she used to serve him was one of the couple glasses Alexander had asked someone to customize for them.

Seeing the glass, he lifted his gaze toward Sophia and asked, "Are you bored?"

"Go ahead with your work. I'll take a bath." She shook her head.

Alexander looked at her and hummed a quick acknowledgment.

The amount of sex they had the night before was taking a toll on Sophia.

She rarely got the chance to return home early, so she decided to make full use of the opportunity. After running a bath for herself, she dripped a few drops of essential oil into the bathtub and stepped inside with a steam eye mask on.

It was quiet in the bathroom, and the hot water was soothing every pore on her skin. With the relaxing eye mask on, Sophia quickly dozed off.

She didn't realize it when Alexander pushed the door open and entered the bathroom.

The moment he went in, he saw Sophia in the bathtub with an eye mask on.

Due to the steam in the bathroom, a warm sensation began to emanate all over his body.

Sophia's collarbones were peeking out from the bubbles in the bathtub, and her fair hands were resting on the edge of the bathtub.

Alexander's eyes darkened shortly after.

In the next second, he started unbuttoning his shirt.

Sophia only realized she wasn't alone in the bathroom when Alexander turned on the shower.

She quickly removed her eye mask and narrowed her eyes to adapt to the lighting condition. By the time she could see clearly, she saw Alexander standing under the shower.

He was in his birthday suit, and water was running down his closed eyes, pointed nose, and sexy lips. From his neck, Sophia gradually lowered her gaze to admire his shoulders, abs, and everything else from his waist down.
