169 “Jealous, Mr. Stone?”
In the morning, Sophia felt a strong reluctance to leave the comfort of their bed. She was nestled against Alexander, finding solace in his embrace, unwilling to part from him.
As her phone emitted a new message notification, Sophia reached for it with a begrudging scowl, not wanting to disturb their moment of intimacy.
“Stay here,” Alexander murmured, pulling her back into his arms. ” Whatever it is can wait.”
“What if they’ve kidnapped someone again?” Sophia joked, a playful smirk gracing her lips.
ga “I don’t like how this is becoming a routine for us,” Alexander grumbled sleepily.
Sophia chuckled as she extricated herself from his embrace and glanced at her phone. Benjamin’s message flashed on the screen.
“I’m thinking of visiting our childhood homes. Do you want to come with me?” the message read.
Sophia read it aloud, noting Alexander’s furrowed brow.
“No,” he responded curtly.
