After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#181 “I was Out of My Mind, You Know?”

As Sophia relaxed into Alexander’s embrace, a sense of comfort washed over her, enveloping her in a warmth that eased the tension in her body. She hugged him tightly, feeling the reassuring rhythm of his breath against her cheek as he gently ran his hands through her hair.

“I was out of my mind, you know? I love you so much,” Alexander whispered, his voice filled with sincerity and vulnerability.

Sophia’s heart swelled with affection at his words, her own love for him shining through in her response. “I love you too,” she murmured, snuggling closer to his chest. “Today has been such a crazy day.”

Alexander pulled back slightly, his gaze searching hers as he sought to understand her turmoil. “Why?” he asked, his brow furrowing with concern.

Sophia took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before speaking. ”

Sophia’s revelation about Benjamin’s confession left Alexander speechless. His shock was palpable as he struggled to process the news. His mind raced with conflicting emotions.
