After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#188 “You’re Joking, Right?”

The next morning, Sophia found herself torn between her desire to support Benjamin and her longing to spend time with Alexander. As they gathered around the breakfast table, Sophia couldn’t help but notice the subtle tension between Alexander and Benjamin, a tension that threatened to overshadow the morning’s meal.

Determined to diffuse the palpable atmosphere, Sophia made a conscious effort to divide her attention between the two men. She found herself lingering near Benjamin, offering him a helping hand and ensuring that he had everything he needed for breakfast. At the same time, she exchanged playful banter with Alexander, teasing him with a wink or a playful nudge whenever the opportunity arose.

Despite his cheeky demeanor, Alexander couldn’t shake the sour mood that had settled over him like a dark cloud. He knew that it was important for Sophia to be there for Benjamin, but he couldn’t help feeling a twinge of jealousy at the way she doted on him.

Sophia, sensing Alexander’s discomfort, resolved to ease his worries by taking matters into her own hands. As the breakfast dishes were cleared away, she busied herself around the house, rearranging furniture and organizing the space so that everything was within arm’s reach of Benjamin.

Once she was satisfied with her efforts, Sophia gathered everyone’s attention, her eyes sparkling with excitement. ” Hey, guys,” she announced, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I’ve got an announcement for you.”

Alexander raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Sophia’s sudden burst of energy. ” What’s the announcement?” he asked, his curiosity piqued.

Sophia grinned, her excitement palpable. “I want to take you to my grandfather’s ranch,” she revealed, her voice tinged with excitement. “It’s a beautiful place, and I thought it would be the perfect getaway for us.”
