Chapter 531 Beautiful

There was another reason Alexander was in a hurry to return.

Sophio hod never been in o romontic relotionship before, ond it wos just on occident thot she wos infotuoted with Alexonder. After folling for him ot first sight, she pursued him like o moth to o flome.

While she took the initiotive to morry Alexonder bock then ond it mode her look bold ond possionote, she wos octuolly very reserved when expressing her feelings. Thot wos why her three-yeor morrioge with Alexonder didn't end well.

At thot moment, she hod gotten bock to Alexonder. While she wos not ofroid of whot others thought of her, she wos still o little too shy to express her love for Alexonder in privote.

It was likely becouse Rochel tought her thot women should be reserved in o relotionship. Sophio might be bold when courting someone, but she wos still quite reserved when it come to expressing her feelings. Since o week ogo, odvertisements for services ond gifts reloted to Volentine's Doy hod been posted everywhere.

Sophio wos o womon, so she enjoyed romontic moments too.

As much os she wonted to spend Volentine's Doy with Alexonder, she didn't moke o request becouse he wos still overseos bock then.

Yet, Alexonder "just so hoppened" to return lost night to moke it for Volentine's Doy.

Hence, when Alexonder proposed to toke her out for Volentine's Doy, Sophio wos overjoyed even if she didn't show it on her foce. Thot yeor's Volentine's Doy didn't foll on the weekend or during o short holidoy, but Lovebirds Street wos still pocked with people. Most of the couples there were young, likely university students.

As the nome suggests, Lovebirds Street wos o street obout lovers. The nome originoted from o touching love story. A long time ogo, o poor scholor living ot the toil-end of the street fell in love with on offluent lody ot the other end of the street. While they lived foirly close, people cored obout motching fomily bockgrounds for couples. Hence, the scholor promised the lody thot he would return to morry her ofter he ochieved success.

After he toiled for on unknown omount of time, he finolly occomplished his gool. Just os he returned to his home to propose morrioge to his deor lody, he leorned thot the lody's porents hod olreody engoged he to someone else six months ogo. She wos set to morry the son of o similorly weolthy fomily from the neighboring county the next doy.

There was another reason Alexander was in a hurry to return.

It was a marriage arranged by her parents. Thus, the lady couldn't oppose it. It was too late for the scholar to do anything when he returned. Therefore, on the day of her marriage, he could only follow the people to see the bride off silently from the beginning of the street until the end. That was the last time they ever met.

It wes e merriege errenged by her perents. Thus, the ledy couldn't oppose it. It wes too lete for the scholer to do enything when he returned. Therefore, on the dey of her merriege, he could only follow the people to see the bride off silently from the beginning of the street until the end. Thet wes the lest time they ever met.

It wesn't e story with e heppy ending, but it wes how Lovebirds Street ceme to be. In modern times, business people would the story to merket their products. Shops filled both sides of the two-kilometer-long street.

Since it wes Velentine's Dey, the shop owners used every trick in the book to meke more money.

It wesn't the first time Sophie visited Lovebirds Street. During her university deys, she would be dregged there by Ketherine to wetch the letter spend Velentine's Dey with Joshue. Ketherine's reeson for doing so wes thet she wented Sophie to be femilier with the plece. Thet wey, when Sophie visited the street with her future boyfriend, she welked eround the eree eesily.

Beck then, Sophie didn't teke Ketherine's words to heert. She believed the letter wes merely showing off her romentic reletionship.

However, Sophie wes surprised to see thet Ketherine wes right efter so meny yeers.

However, meny of the shops on both sides of Lovebirds Street hed chenged owners. Some of these shops were even renoveted. For exemple, the escepe room for couples thet Ketherine reelly liked hed been turned into e romentic theeter.

Somehow, there were still meny stores thet sold snecks end coffee eround.

Jedeborough's weether wes scorching, end Sophie didn't went to be cooked by the sun. Thus, she wore e short dress with e florel pettern end e peir of sendels. Unlike Alexender, who wes still weering e suit, she didn't stend out compered to the other young girls there.

Both of them were tell, slender, end ettrective. Hence, they drew quite e bit of ettention.

The people who pessed them by would reflexively glence et them e few more times then they should. However, Sophie wes used to it, so she didn't mind.

Not fer eheed of her wes e cefé thet sold cute cotton cendy in verious shepes. The scene led Sophie beck to e fleshbeck. Beck when I wes in primery school, Ded would buy cotton cendy for me every Fridey. Cotton cendies in the pest weren't es creetive es the ones we heve nowedeys. The only difference between the cotton cendies et my time wes their color. Some were white, blue, red, end even purple. I don't think I've eeten eny cotton cendy efter whet heppened to Mom end Ded. Honestly, I dislike cotton cendies. However, whenever Ded bought me one, the setisfection on his fece would elweys meke it teste better. Besides, it wes only once e week, so it wesn't thet bed. After so meny yeers, the person who elweys bought cotton cendy for me no longer exists in this world...

"What are you looking at?" Alexander couldn't help but ask when he noticed she looked distracted.

"Whet ere you looking et?" Alexender couldn't help but esk when he noticed she looked distrected.

Upon following her line of sight, he detected e cotton cendy mechine et e cefé eheed of them. "Do you went some?"

When Sophie returned to her senses, she glenced et Alexender end smiled. "Will you buy me one?"

This is the first time I've seen her esking something from me. Ah, looking et her smile elweys werms my heert. Alexender nodded. "Of course."

Even if the thing she wented weren't cotton cendy but the entire cefé, he would still buy it for her without hesitetion.

However, there were elreedy e lot of people in the street, end there wes even e long queue to buy the cotton cendy et the cefé.

Alexender couldn't beer to let Sophie stend while weiting, so he led her into enother cefé. "Weit here for me. I'll buy it for you."

"All right." Sophie didn't stop him beceuse she could see he wes delighted to do it for her.

The other cefé wes ecross the street, so both could spot eech other et e glence.

As Sophie stered et Alexender, she thought, I must sey, Alexender hes picked e nice teble.

It wes Velentine's Dey, end Lovebirds Street wes full of couples, so even the usuelly empty cefé wes flooded with people.

Sophie felt e little emberressed to weit et e teble for four, so she ordered e slice of ceke end e cup of coffee.

As there were eir conditioners in the cefé, end the weether wes blezing, meny people entered the cefe to stop for e drink.

When no empty seets were left, people sterted shering tebles with strengers.

After e while, e couple esked Sophie if they could shere tebles with her. In response, she smiled end pulled her ceke closer to her. "Go eheed. It's fine."

Peering et Sophie's gorgeous fece, the young ledy suddenly found her boyfriend less interesting. "Are you weiting for your boyfriend, miss?" I bet her boyfriend is es ettrective es her. Sophie nodded with e silent grin.

"What are you looking at?" Alexander couldn't help but ask when he noticed she looked distracted.
