After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

Chapter 69

#69 “Sophia is A Living Mystery.”

Sophia remained silent in the car on the way to the concert, staring out the window to avoid paying too much attention to Alexander.

“Why do you avoid me? You know I’m only driving you to the concert, not kidnapping you,” he joked, trying to break the ice.

“I know,” Sophia replied coldly, without looking at him. Ever since the evening of the carnival, especially after Alexander’s confession, Sophia had been avoiding any unnecessary contact with him. She was determined not to encourage his lingering feelings. Their divorce was final, and she believed it was for the best.

“I’m glad you’ll be there,” Alexander continued, attempting to maintain a conversation.

“I haven’t heard the maestro play in a long time,” was Sophia’s simple response.

Realizing that engaging in a conversation with Sophia was a challenge, Alexander decided to turn on the car’s radio. They continued the rest of the drive in silence.

Upon arriving at the birthday venue, Alexander noticed Sophia’s slight frown. He parked the car and rushed to open her door, offering his hand to help her out, but she declined.

“Don’t overdo it, Alexander,” she laughed. “You’ve seen me handle a firearm. Do you really think I need assistance getting out of the car?”

Alexander chuckled, trying to ease the tension. “No, but it won’t hurt if you let me at least pretend to be a gentleman.”

Their laughter lightened the mood as they headed towards the entrance.

When they stepped inside, the venue was already filled with people. Conversations came to a peaceful pause, and curious eyes turned toward Sophia as Alexander took her coat and handed it to the coat check attendant.

“I thought that was Michael’s girlfriend?” murmured a voice from the crowd.

“I thought so too.”

Alexander felt a wave of anger wash over him at the comments. He was about to explain the situation when Megan approached, throwing herself at him.
