After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#154 “Aren’t You A bit Cocky?”

Alexander returned to the table with two glasses in hand. He handed one to Sophia. He gently kissed her forehead before settling into his chair.

“What was so secret Michael had to say?” Sophia asked, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

“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,”

“I really like it when you call me by my first name,” Alexander replied smugly, a subtle acknowledgment of the intimacy between them.

“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.

“And he decided to warn you?” Sophia’s surprise lingered in her eyes.

“The only thing Michael hates more than me is our father. I would do the same,” Alexander replied, his nonchalant shrug belying the complexity of the family dynamics.

“What could it be…”
