After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

Chapter 100

#100 “You Have This Way of Making Everything Seem A Little Brighter.”

As soon as Sophia went up to her hotel room to rest, she noticed that suitcases were lined up next to her bedroom. It was her suitcases that were in her old hotel; she didn’t know when Alexander had managed to arrange the move, but she was very impressed.

Ever since she had come to London, Alexander had been so kind and attentive to her that she felt she owed him at least a thank you. Sophia started unpacking her luggage with a smile.

Alexander had believed her when he found her at the scene of the crime, arranged for her to have a lawyer, and had managed to find the evidence that she was innocent. Sophia knew how he felt about her, and his diligence was astonishing.

Never in a million years did Sophia imagine that her ex-husband, the one who didn’t even bother to get to know her, would turn out to be so trusting and kind.

As soon as she arranged the clothes from the suitcases and her room, she texted him, “I’m bored, come and keep me company.”

There was a long pause where she didn’t get an answer, and it made her laugh. She imagined Alexander sitting in front of his phone wondering what to say to her.

“How bored? I have to know what to bring,” was the answer.

She laughed at his playful message and replied:

“A bottle of wine is enough.”

“Ok, does that mean I have to cancel the order for strawberries and cream?”
