After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#62 “I Love to See You Mad.”

Alexander was feeling terrible. He knew he had promised his mother he’d invite Sophia to her birthday party, but the idea weighed heavily on him. Their recent interactions hadn’t exactly been smooth, and he was unsure of how she’d react to the invitation. Especially after last night’s conversation.

Alexander knew that Sophia would misinterpret his words because she did not know Michael as he did. She didn’t know what his half-brother was capable of. He buried his face in his hands and let out a loud sigh. He hated the situation he was in and the trick Michael had played on him.

Meanwhile, Megan had asked him to meet up and help pick out a birthday gift for Caroline, his mother. She suggested they meet at a luxury store in the mall, knowing that Alexander had impeccable taste when it came to gifts.

Megan was very pleased to find out that Alexander’s mother had invited her to her birthday. She hoped this would lead to more time to spend with Alexander in the future.

In the next moment, Sophia and Evelyn went to the same store that day. Perhaps it was the magnetism of high- end shopping that drew them both in or maybe it was just serendipity. But all four ended up there.

As they entered the store, their scanned the luxurious displays of jewelry, clothing, and accessories. It didn’t take long for their gaze to lock onto Alexander and Megan. Both parties recognized each other immediately but chose not to acknowledge the presence of the other. eyes

Megan, sensing the opportunity, intentionally maneuvered closer to Alexander. She struck up a conversation about potential gifts for Caroline, expertly steering the discussion towards what she knew he liked. It was a subtle attempt to remind him of their connection, hoping he would become more receptive to her advances.

However, Sophia remained indifferent, focused solely on her shopping with Evelyn. After yesterday’s situation, Sophia had decided to distance herself as much as possible. She was irritated by Alexander’s interference and therefore chose not to greet him at all.

Megan observed the apparent shift in dynamics between Sophia and Alexander, she couldn’t help but feel intrigued. Once, they had seemed close, but now, they appeared like strangers to each other. Megan believed that there might still be a chance for her to win over Alexander, and she was determined to seize that opportunity.

Meanwhile, Evelyn, curious about Sophia’s recent interactions, leaned in closer to her friend. Her voice was barely above a whisper as she asked, ” Sophia, I heard you’re going on another date with Michael. Is that true?”
