After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

Chapter 35

#35 “Men and Their Delusions.”

While they were in the car, Sophia suddenly grabbed her head. Startled, Alexander instinctively shifted slightly, ready to support her if she were to falter. However, he was quick to respond, wrapping his arms around her to steady her.

“Are you okay?” he asked, concern evident in his voice. “Yes, everything is fine. It happens from time to time,” she reassured him, her voice holding a touch of frustration.

“What’s going on? Are you feeling unwell?” he inquired further.

“I’m just overtired, and the sleepless hours are catching up with me. It’s nothing out of the ordinary. I’ll be fine by the time we get to the office.” He didn’t seem convinced. “No chance. I’m taking you home so you can rest.”

“I’m really fine, Alexander,” Sophia replied, her annoyance palpable. He looked into her eyes, a frown creasing his forehead. “Sophia, I know what it’s like to work non-stop but trust me, it’s not sustainable. Going without proper rest will only worsen things. Go home, get some rest, and come back tomorrow with renewed energy.

Realizing the position they were in, she shuddered from him. As much as she wants to admit it, he’s right.

“Okay, I’ll go home.”

“Good girl,” he praised her with a smirk. Sophia hoped that the shiver that ran down her spine was due to fatigue and not Alexander’s words. As they arrived at her apartment, Alexander escorted Sophia inside.

“Come on, let’s get you settled,” he said gently, guiding her to the living room. “Your apartment is great,” he replies.” I wish I had bought in this building too. Sophia rolls her eyes. “Good thing you didn’t. I would have to watch you all day.”

Alexander laughed at her comment. What a horror, Sophia, to share a wall with me.”

She smirked in response. “I can only imagine the horrors I would have heard. He raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. “What did you think you were going to hear?”

“Who knows, screams of innocent souls,” she teased. Alexander chuckled. He leaned back, looking around. “Where is your kitchen?”

She pointed in a direction. “Over there.”
