After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

166 “I’ll Try not to Kill Him.”

Kyle had contacted Alexander to inform him that Sophia was out of danger. He also decided to send him a message, warning Alexander that Sophia was furious and advising him to be prepared when he met her.

Alexander suggested taking Sophia to her apartment.

The atmosphere in the car had grown increasingly tense, weighed down by the palpable anger radiating from Sophia in the back seat. As soon as they arrived at her apartment, Sophia stormed out of the car in a fit of rage.

“Sophia,” Evelyn called after her.

“Yes?” Sophia’s response was sharp, her frustration evident in her tone.

“I know we just went through something terrible, but try not to be too harsh on him. I’m sure he had his reasons for not telling us,” Evelyn pleaded, her voice laced with concern.

“I’ll try not to kill him,” Sophia quipped bitterly, a hint of humor barely masking her simmering anger.
