Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 553

Chapter 553 Could Not Be Bothered

Being the fast worker she was, by the afternoon, Yvonne had already completed the task that Sophia assigned her that morning.

Katherine felt rejuvenated after a good night's sleep.

She was very well taken care of during her pregnancy. Joshua had specially hired a nutritionist and prenatal yoga instructor for her to ensure the healthy growth of the fetus. However, as she did not have an easy delivery, she was still feeling rather weak when she woke up that morning. After having some chicken soup for lunch, she was feeling much better and was gossiping about Nina with Sophia on the bed.

"Yvonne did a great job! That b*tch, Nina, has finally gotten what she deserves. She should have expected to be burned after playing with fire. Haha, this probably marks the end of her career in the entertainment industry!"

"You're not in pain anymore?" Sophia asked as she passed Katherine a slice of grapefruit.

Katherine immediately scrunched up her face, pretending that she was in pain. "Of course, I'm still hurting! Boohoo... Soph, giving birth is so painful! I'm definitely not having another baby!" "Well, let's hope you won't eat your words later," Sophia replied as the corners of her lips curled up.

She knew Katherine's character very well after being friends with her for so many years.

Previously, when she had her first rollercoaster ride, she screamed in fear throughout the entire ride and vowed that she would lay off the rollercoaster ride after that. However, she ended up taking it again. Katherine pressed her lips together and replied, "I'm serious. You will understand what I mean when it's your turn to give birth."

Sophia stuffed a slice of grapefruit into her friend's mouth and said, "Okay, okay. I know it was tough on you. So it's now time to focus on your recovery. Don't think about anything else other than eating and sleeping well. Otherwise, Joshua would worry."

Even though Katherine kept complaining that Lewinn was ugly, she could not stop looking at her newborn son, who was sleeping soundly in the crib next to her.

Lewinn, who was two days old, looked less wrinkled than he did the night before, and his long and thick lashes could clearly be seen. They were especially obvious when he was asleep.

Sophia had already noticed his beautiful eyes the previous night. Clearly, the boy had gotten the best of his parents' features.

When Sophia saw Katherine carefully covering Lewinn with a blanket, she let out a chuckle and said, "Didn't you complain that he was ugly last night?"

Katherine sighed and replied, "No matter how ugly he is, he's still a part of me."

Sophia pinched her friend's cheeks lightly and said, "Your son is so much better looking than you. Stop saying that he's ugly in front of him."

Upon hearing that, Katherine took a glance at Lewinn and replied, "Maybe there's something wrong with my eyes. I really can't tell which part of his face is good-looking."

Sophia laughed. "I don't think there's anything wrong with your eyes. It's more likely that you have prosopagnosia."

"That's impossible. I can easily recognize you just by seeing any one of your features!"

Sophia threw Katherine a side-eye and said, "Compliments don't work on me. You've already used your phone for two hours. Give it to me now."

Gripping her phone tightly, Katherine replied reluctantly, "Just five more minutes, please. I haven't commented on Nina's scandal yet!"

Sophia smiled helplessly as she replied, "Okay, just five minutes. Not even a second longer."

As Katherine had just given birth, the doctor had instructed her to have more rest. However, Katherine loved reading gossip news. She would often spend the entire day scrolling through the posts on gossip forums and blogs.

Staring at her phone for long hours right after giving birth was extremely damaging to her eyes. Hence, Joshua made it a point to confiscate Katherine's phone once every two hours and would only return it to her three hours later.

When Sophia arrived, Katherine was already using her phone. Throughout the entire two hours that she was there, Katherine's eyes had been glued to her phone, reading Nina's scandal.

Katherine dare not disregard Sophia's order, so she grudgingly handed her phone over to her dear friend five minutes later.

As there was a limit to the number of visitors in the ward at any one time, Sophia left after a while so that the nanny and Joshua could go in.

It was already past four in the afternoon when Sophia left the ward. Meanwhile, Alexander was waiting for her at the hospital entrance.

It was the start of autumn in Jadeborough, and Alexander was wearing a plain white shirt and black pants. His tall figure and cold expression gave him a somewhat ethereal allure, especially when he was spotted from a distance.

When Sophia was just about three meters away from the man, someone else suddenly stopped in front of him.

It was a young lady. She was holding a bag in her hand and looked like she was asking Alexander for directions. "Excuse me, sorry to disturb you. Do you know where building five is? I can't seem to replace it." Alexander cast an indifferent glance at the woman in front of him and replied coldly, "I'm not sure."

Taken aback by the man's cold response, the woman smiled sheepishly as she ran her hand through her hair and replied, "I see. Thanks anyway. Sorry to have bothered you."

Instead of leaving immediately after saying that, the woman remained rooted to the spot for a few more seconds. However, Alexander had already averted his gaze.

He did not like to be approached by strangers, regardless of their actual intentions.

Alexander frowned when he saw that the woman was still standing there. He turned around and was about to head upstairs to replace Sophia when he saw his wife standing right behind him with a wide smile on her face.

Alexander's expression softened at once when he saw Sophia.

Without hesitation, he walked toward the woman and held her hand. "Why are you standing here?" he asked.

Sophia looked up at her husband and replied with a mischievous glint in her eye, "I was worried that I might be interrupting something."

"She's just asking for directions."

"I heard that," Sophia replied with a chuckle.

Taking a pause, she continued, "Were you sad that she was just asking for directions?"

She was just teasing Alexander and did not mean it seriously.

Even though Alexander had noticed Sophia's playful expression, he decided to answer her using his actions and lowered his head the next second.

The woman who had asked for directions earlier was still standing there. Although Alexander had only given Sophia a light peck on her lips while holding her in his arms, Sophia could not help but blush in embarrassment at the woman staring at them.

The woman was actually intending to leave after asking Alexander for directions. In fact, she was indeed trying to hit on Alexander. As it was the first time she saw such an attractive man, she had mustered up the courage to hang around a little longer. However, Alexander was not interested in her at all.

Initially, she suspected that the man might not be interested in women. Although she was not the prettiest woman in the world, she was definitely a beauty and was never short of suitors since she was young. Hence, she was baffled by Alexander's indifference toward her, especially given that she had taken the initiative to talk to him.

However, just as she was about to leave, she saw Alexander walking toward the woman behind him.

She had always been confident of her looks, but when she saw the other woman, she finally realized the reason why the man did not even spare her a glance.

Aware that she was completely no match for Sophia, the woman tightened her grip on her bag and hurried away.
