After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

Chapter 154

“Why did you think it was a secret?” Alexander sneered, his eyes holding a trace of the weight of the revelation.

“Why do you always forget that you’re talking to a lawyer? Seriously, ‘Come and get drinks with me’.” Sophia tried to imitate Michael’s voice. “That’s so obvious, Alex,”

“Don’t twist the subject.”

“My father is back according to Michael. He also has concerns that he is up to something.”

Sophia’s expression shifted from playful to contemplative as she took a sip of her cocktail, the cool liquid contrast to the warmth of the news.
