After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

Chapter 96

#96 “Well, Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures.”

At noon, after all the challenges that the day had provided, Sophia finally, accompanied by Alexander, arrived at Benjamin’s place. The upscale neighborhood exuded an air of sophistication, a stark contrast to the tumultuous events Sophia had faced earlier in the day.

Sophia rang the doorbell, and the door swung open, revealing Benjamin. His demeanor was composed, though concern flickered in his eyes as he took in Sophia’s presence with Alexander at her side.

“Sophia, Alexander, come in,” Benjamin greeted, ushering them into the elegant foyer of his London home.

The spacious living room, adorned with tasteful decor, offered a respite from the chaos outside. Benjamin gestured toward plush seating arrangements, inviting his guests to make themselves comfortable.

“I heard about what happened. Are you okay?” Benjamin inquired, his voice filled with genuine concern.

Sophia nodded, her expression composed. “I’m fine. Alexander here,” she motioned toward him, “stepped in and defused the situation.”

Benjamin turned his attention to Alexander, gratitude evident in his gaze. “Thank you for looking out for her. I see you take some damage doing so.”

Alexander nodded, downplaying his role. “It’s nothing. Just making sure she’s safe.”

As they settled into the luxurious surroundings, the conversation transitioned into more serious topics.
