Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 618

Chapter 618 It Is Alexander

Sophia and Alexander's wedding was scheduled for the first of January. They would be starting a new chapter of their lives on New Year's Day.

The wedding dress had already been delivered to the wedding planner's team in Jadeborough for safekeeping. However, as Sophia was progressing in her pregnancy, she was feeling a bit concerned about fitting into her wedding dress on the big day. Fearing any last-minute surprises, she requested Katherine to accompany her for a fitting three days before the wedding.

Alexander had expressed his desire to accompany them, but Sophia firmly forbade him from doing so. She insisted on keeping the element of surprise, just as he had refused to let her see the set-up of the wedding venue he was designing. Thus, she didn't want him to see her wedding dress before the special day either.

It was often said that a woman was most beautiful on her wedding day, and Katherine had always thought Sophia was a stunning woman. However, as she watched the curtains of the dressing room slowly roll back and saw Sophia step out gracefully in her white dress, Katherine was absolutely stunned. The sight took her breath away, and she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by her friend's radiant beauty.

After a moment of awe-struck silence, Katherine finally found her voice and exclaimed, "Wow! Alexander really lucked out!"

Flashing a playful smirk at her friend, Sophia teased, "Go ahead and tell that to Alexander if you dare."

Katherine immediately regretted her words. She averted her gaze, not wanting to see the triumphant look on her friend's face.

"Okay, now go try on your maid of honor's dress!"

Having known each other for over two decades and considering each other as sisters, Sophia and Katherine had been through many ups and downs together.

Now that Sophia was getting married, it was a given that Katherine would be her maid of honor.

Despite the tradition of not choosing married women as maids of honor, the Dawsons had always supported and indulged Sophia's preferences. As a result, they had no objections to Katherine's role in the wedding and respected her close bond with Sophia.

Besides, ever since Sophia became pregnant, Alexander had wholeheartedly accepted her words as law ad had no objections to the arrangement.

Despite the potential trouble that choosing Katherine as her maid of honor might bring on their wedding day, Alexander had been nothing but supportive of Sophia's decision.

Sophia had gone the extra mile of hiring a designer specifically for Katherine's dress, and the process took nearly a month to complete.

Given her star status, Katherine would naturally steal the spotlight on the wedding day. Most brides would strive to be the center of attention, but Sophia was different in that aspect as she had always maintained a low profile.

Besides, she was not vain or fame-hungry. All she desired was to be the most beautiful woman in Alexander's eyes, and that alone was enough for her.

She did not care for anyone else's opinion. After all, the man she was marrying was Alexander.

It had been more than three months since Katherine had given birth, and her figure had long since returned to its pre-pregnancy state. In fact, motherhood had only enhanced her curves, making her figure even more alluring than before.

The dress had been tailor-made for her. As Katherine looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. "Not bad at all!"

As tradition dictated, Alexander and Sophia refrained from seeing each other the night before their wedding. Alexander returned to his mansion alone, while Charlize and Katherine arrived early at the wedding venue to assist with the setup.

After becoming pregnant, Sophia found it easier to fall asleep at night. Despite Katherine chattering away by her ear that night, Sophia still managed to slip into a deep and peaceful slumber.

Katherine had a lot on her mind. She had known Sophia for over two decades, and she thought of her as her own sister. Sophia's first wedding to Alexander had not felt like a wedding to her, and Katherine hac objected to it from the beginning.

This time, the circumstances were entirely different. Alexander had taken a personal interest in designing the wedding venue, and Sophia's grandfather and brother were present to witness the special day. It was a stark contrast to the first wedding, although the groom remained the same.

Katherine was well aware that this time, Sophia's wedding was genuine and filled with true love. There were so many things she wanted to talk about and share with her best friend, but to her surprise, Sophia had already drifted off to sleep before she could even express half of her thoughts.

Katherine stared at Sophia's sleeping form in astonishment.

What's wrong with her? It's the night before her wedding! She doesn't seem excited at all. She's already fallen asleep!

Despite feeling a tad annoyed, she gently covered her friend with a blanket and quietly slipped out of the room.

As Katherine stepped out of the room, she noticed Charlize standing nearby with a glass of milk. Alexander had informed Charlize that Sophia liked to drink a glass of milk before bed, so she had come to offer it. Charlize looked surprised to see Katherine coming out of the room at that moment.

"Has Soph fallen asleep?" Charlize asked in surprise.

"She has! Isn't that crazy? She fell asleep within minutes of her head hitting the pillow!" Katherine complained.

"What do I do with this glass of milk then? Mr. Xenos asked me to bring it to Soph."

"it's okay for her to skip it for a night or two. It won't hurt her," Katherine replied in a teasing tone. Secretly, she admired Alexander's sweet gesture.

On the morning of the wedding, Sophia woke up early. Her makeup artist had already arrived, and the excitement of the wedding preparations echoed through the walls as Katherine was busy attending to the arrangements outside her room.

Charlize and a few others had also arrived to assist with the wedding preparations. Sophia had a small circle of close friends, and these few were the only people that she allowed into her inner circle.

"Soph?" Katherine called out tentatively, knocking gently on the bedroom door.

Sophia, wrapped in her robe, called out, "Come in. The door's not locked." Katherine pushed open the door and came in just as Sophia was getting out of bed.

The latter smiled and teased Katherine, "I've never seen you awake so early before.”

"I'm not that irresponsible, you know! Today is a special day!" Katherine retorted, setting a bowl of oatmeal on Sophia's bedside table. "Go shower, and then have some oatmeal. The make-up artist and the wedding party are already here."

Sophia smiled and replied, "Okay."

Katherine was playing her role as maid of honor well.

Sophia's bedroom was vast, with the bed tucked into an inner corner and separated from the seating area by a screen. The bathroom was situated across from the bed.

Katherine led the wedding entourage to the seating area while Sophia went into the bathroom. Kylie joined them, and Perrin remained outside to receive any other guests arriving.

Alexander's personality oscillated between being extremely low-key and extravagantly grandiose, leaving no room for a middle ground.

For the wedding, he had booked out the largest hotel in Jadeborough which happened to be owned by the Quail family. Despite the late booking, Justin, with his influence and connections, managed to secure the entire hotel for the event.

All of Alexander's business associates had been invited to the wedding.

While the invitations had been sent, it was unclear exactly how many would show up.

Due to Alexander's extensive network and prestigious status, many of his acquaintances were eager to dine and socialize with him, an opportunity that was often hard to come by. Therefore, when they received the wedding invitation, they gladly accepted it without hesitation.

With so many people in attendance, it was smart for the bride to fill her stomach first.

Sophia had never liked sweet or greasy foods, and her pregnancy had only intensified her aversion to intense flavors. Alexander, aware of her tastes, had given specific instructions for the oatmeal to be prepared, and Katherine had taken it upon herself to oversee the cooking process early in the morning.

Katherine had always been a food lover, and the aroma of the oatmeal was enticing. She had devoured three bowls before she managed to control herself. After Sophia had finished her bowl, Katherine instinctively went to ladle a second helping, but to her surprise, Sophia shook her head, declining the offer.

"Have you had enough?"

Sophia nodded. "I can't eat another bite."

"That's all you're eating? No wonder you're still not showing even though you're already four months pregnant!"

Sophia glanced at Katherine with a playful expression. "You can't even control your own mouth, and you're still trying to nag me?"

Katherine smiled guiltily. "Fine, I'll have the chef warm it up for you later."

Alexander had mentioned that Sophia ate frequently these days, but always in small portions.

Katherine's head ached as she recalled the checklist that Alexander had given her. She couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy at how much he spoiled Sophia.

Fortunately for Katherine, she enjoyed the same treatment from Joshua as well.
