After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#71 “This woman is terribly sassy.”

The concert was an extraordinary experience, leaving Sophia and Evelyn thoroughly enchanted throughout the performance. The music rekindled Sophia’s deep passion for her own instrument. It was a part of herself she held dear, a realm where she could express her innermost emotions with the utmost sincerity.

Sophia felt a profound sense of gratitude for the opportunity she had during her student years to perform with Maestro Paus. Each time she listened to his compositions, it filled her with nostalgia for those cherished times.

Evelyn, deeply moved, couldn’t hold back her tears during the final piece. The entire hall appeared to collectively hold its breath, and as the last note resonated through the air, it erupted into thunderous applause.

“That was simply amazing,” Evelyn remarked, her voice trembling with emotion. Sophia smiled warmly, replying, “Just like every time.”

The remainder of the evening was dedicated to celebrating Caroline’s birthday. Guests lined up to offer their gifts and heartfelt best wishes. Sophia and Evelyn joined the procession to greet the evening’s host.

Standing just ahead of them, Megan eagerly shared her admiration for Caroline and Alexander. Megan gushed about how much she adored Caroline and how she was her role model.

Her words, however, came across as excessively ingratiating to Sophia, who believed that birthday wishes should be offered sincerely and from the heart. It seemed to Sophia that Megan was doing everything in her power to flatter Caroline.

When it was finally Sophia’s turn to offer her well-wishes, Megan was nearby, watching with interest.

“Happy birthday, Caroline,” Sophia began with genuine warmth. “I wish you an abundance of health, happiness, and love. May this violin bring you as much joy as it has brought me over the years. I find the instrument truly magnificent, and I’m certain it will find a splendid home in your company.”

Caroline embraced Sophia in a warm hug and expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
