After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#48 “I Want Sophia Here With You for My Birthday.”

Alexander made his way to the front door to meet his mother, where she had left a huge pile of shopping bags and packages. He couldn’t help but chuckle, a familiar sight to him.

“Let me help you,” he offered with a warm laugh. Alexander’s mother, Caroline Stone, appeared before him as elegant as ever. Her blonde hair was neatly pulled back into a bun, with a few stray strands framing her face casually. She had always been a strikingly beautiful woman, and her radiance hadn’t diminished with time.

Her dark green eyes, so similar to Alexander’s, gazed at him warmly from the front door. She patted her white coat and approached him, opening her arms for a hug,

“You know I can’t resist when I step into a store,” she admitted with a playful smile. Alexander smiled. “Yes, I can see that. It’s why I work so hard to keep up financially with your impulse buys.”

She playfully furrowed her brows and tapped his nose. “We need to talk, Alexander,” she said with a seriousness that made him pause.

“Sure, do you want to sit in the garden? “Alexander offered, picking up her purchases and putting them back in the house.

“I love this garden, Sophia has done wonders with it,” Caroline commented, walking out the large French window.

Alexander was silent. Every mention of his ex-wife stung him. He hated that feeling in his stomach, knowing it was his fault that they didn’t get along. The two sat at a table in the garden lit by the sun’s rays. Charles brought them cups of coffee and biscuits.

He left without troubling them further, and as soon as Alexander’s mother was sure they were left alone, she decided to go directly to the topic.

“I want you to know that I am extremely disappointed by the news of your divorce,” she said, her tone heavy with concern.
