After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

Chapter 63

#63 “Well, That’s Quite the Family Drama.”

Michael had arrived at the location for his date with Sophia and immediately spotted her in the midst of the bustling crowd. He couldn’t help but raise his hands in astonishment before making his way toward her.

Sophia couldn’t contain her laughter as she observed Michael’s reaction. He closed the distance between them with a warm smile, and she returned it in kind.

“If I’m being honest, I never would have guessed that our date would be at a country fair festival,” he remarked, wrapping her in a friendly hug.

Sophia reciprocated the hug. “What can I tell you? I’m full of surprises,” she replied with a playful glint in her eye.

Together, they made their way toward the entrance of the festival, the lively sounds of people and the laughter of children providing a cheerful backdrop to their conversation.

“So, how did you decide on this place?” Michael inquired. “I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth, and as soon as I saw the ad for the fair, I couldn’t resist,” Sophia explained, a touch of nostalgia in her voice.

Her thoughts briefly took a turn, wondering if Alexander had ever believed she was only interested in him for his wealth, perhaps due to her humble upbringing in the countryside. She chided herself for letting thoughts of her ex-husband intrude on her date with another man.

guess there’s still a lot to learn about you, Ms. Johnson,” Michael replied. Michael couldn’t help but be surprised when he laid eyes on Sophia’s outfit for the day. She looked stunning as always, but he was accustomed to seeing her in elegant dresses and skirts. Now she was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt.

“Where should we start?” he asked, gesturing to the various attractions at the festival.

“I’m up for anything,” she replied with a smile. “How about the Ferris wheel?” Michael suggested, opting for the more romantic attractions in his bid to win over Sophia.

“Sure,” she agreed.

They made their way to the Ferris wheel and purchased their tickets. As they waited in line, Michael struck up a conversation.
