After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#56 “Why are You so Intrigued by My Ex-wife?”

“Megan, since you care so much, Sophia is my ex-wife,” Alexander finally replied. Megan nearly choked on the cocktail she was sipping.

“Everything is falling into place now, my dear Alex,” she laughed. “What amuses you so much?” he replied irritably.

“Oh, don’t be upset, I just solved your mystery. However, I did not expect that the great Alexander would throw away his friendship with Emily just like that. Apparently, this Sophia is a big deal.”

“Emily played her own cards by being sneaky, nothing to do with Sophia being my ex-wife.”

“And you’re telling me you don’t have feelings for her?” Megan tried again. Alexander was tired of sitting in the position of interrogation and decided to turn things around.

“It just amazes me that you’ve always put business before relationships, and now it’s like the wheel has turned and everything’s the other way around.”

“I will repeat to you again that Emily’s actions are what made me end my relationship with her. Imagine that tomorrow I pissed her off with something, what’s the guarantee that she won’t play this trick on me?”
