After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

Chapter 64

#64 “It’s Almost Like You Have Feelings for Me.”

Sophia sat there, gazing at the bustling carnival scene when she suddenly sensed someone approaching. Turning her head, she was met with the sight of Alexander. At that moment, understanding dawned on her. Michael’s abrupt departure had something to do with Alexander.

“Is the seat free?” Alexander inquired, looking at the bale of straw where Sophia had been sharing a moment with Michael just moments ago.

Sophia couldn’t help but chuckle and nodded. Alexander appeared a bit out of place amidst the carnival’s relaxed atmosphere, dressed in a formal suit, and it took him a moment to figure out how to sit without getting dirty or toppling over.

Seeing his awkwardness, Sophia couldn’t suppress her laughter. “No. need to be so cautious; it’s just a little straw. Go ahead and sit down.”

Alexander gave a grateful but awkward smile and gingerly settled onto the straw, patting his suit self-consciously to ensure it remained presentable amid the rustic setting.

Sophia flashed a smile at Alexander, trying to ease the tension between them. “Relax, Alexander. I promise to pay for the dry cleaning of your suit if you stop squirming in the next two seconds,” she said, her tone lighthearted.

“Okay, sorry,” he responded, his earlier grim demeanor giving way to a more relaxed expression.

The two of them sat side by side, gazing ahead at the carnival attractions. Alexander’s mood had been soured by witnessing Sophia and Michael together, and he hadn’t spoken to her since that incident, especially after Michael played a trick on him, and Sophia overheard their entire conversation.

Sophia finally broke the silence. “What did you say to him that made him leave so quickly?” she inquired, her tone curious rather than accusatory.

Alexander was surprised that she wasn’t angry at him for interrupting her date with Michael. He looked at her with a hint of astonishment before responding, “Company database crash. I released a worm that ate the files.”
