After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

Chapter 12

#12 “Do You Think He’ll Hold A Grudge?”

Alexander, unable to resist the temptation, approaches Sophia and Evelyn at the café patio. With a half- joking, half-intimidating tone, he addresses them.

“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the two ladies discussing their disdain for a certain someone,” Alexander remarks, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation. Evelyn, wasn’t it? I must say, I’m quite intrigued by your strong opinions about this ‘egotistical, arrogant, money-hungry man.”

Evelyn’s eyes widen as she recognizes Alexander. She stammers, “Oh… uh… Mr. Stone, I didn’t realize it was you. It was all in good fun, you know, just venting with Sophia here.”

Sophia, maintaining her composure, leans back in her chair and smirks.

“You should be flattered, Alexander. I am sure you know that Evelyn’s father owns a bank that heavily relies on Stone Enterprises. I’m sure he’d be interested to hear your reaction to his daughter’s colorful assessment of men. Alexander chuckles, his gaze alternating between Sophia and Evelyn.

“Is that so? Well, Evelyn, I hope your father has a good sense of humor. I’ll make sure to remember your spirited remarks. Who knows, it might spice up our business negotiations in the future.

“Mr. Stone, please, it was just a casual conversation. I didn’t mean any harm.” Evelyn’s face turns beet red as she tries to play down the situation. Alexander leans in closer, his tone shifting to a more serious but still playful one.

“Oh, I know, Evelyn. No need to worry. I always appreciate the honest feedback, even if it comes with a touch of colorful language. Just remember, though, words have a way of lingering in one’s memory.”
