After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#196 “The Ring for Evelyn.”

Early in the morning, Alexander and Sophia arrived at the quaint café where they were meeting Kyle. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air as they entered, greeted by Kyle’s frown at the sight of Sophia.

“What is she doing here? You said you were going to keep it a secret,” Kyle started, skipping the usual pleasantries and getting straight to the point.

“I can’t just leave her out. If you think you’ll do better, come on in,” Alexander retorted, his tone tinged with irritation as he gestured for Sophia to join them.

“You really weren’t going to include me in the surprise for Evelyn?” Sophia intervened, taking a seat at the table with a hint of exasperation.

“How do I know you won’t spill the beans? You two share everything,” Kyle countered, skepticism evident in his voice.

“Because I wouldn’t ruin my best friend’s engagement party,” Sophia retorted, crossing her arms in defiance. “Plus, I already know, and I want to help.”

Kyle glanced at Alexander, silently debating whether to include Sophia. Eventually, he let out a resigned sigh and began explaining the plan to her. After hashing out the basic details and receiving input from both Sophia and Alexander, Kyle’s expression turned thoughtful.
