After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#200 “Tomorrow’s A Big Day for Them.”

It was time for dinner, and Alexander found himself lost in thought as he busied himself in the kitchen, chopping vegetables with mechanical precision. His mind was consumed by the events of the day, the weight of Elviro and Alberto’s revelations pressing heavily upon him.

He couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at him, the nagging sense that something sinister lurked beneath the surface of their seemingly tranquil lives. The knowledge that someone had deliberately targeted Sophia and her family filled him with a sense of foreboding, a deep-seated fear of the unknown.

As he diced the mushrooms with more force than necessary, Alexander’s thoughts churned with a maelstrom of questions and doubts. Why had Elviro and Alberto been so interested in Sophia and her grandfather? What did the buyer hope to gain by acquiring those stolen documents?

“Poor mushrooms,” Sophia’s voice broke through the haze of his thoughts, pulling him back to the present moment.

Alexander blinked, realizing with a start that he had been chopping the mushrooms into oblivion, his mind a million miles away. He felt Sophia’s gentle touch on his back as she wrapped her arms around him in a comforting embrace.

“What’s troubling you?” she asked, her voice laced with concern.

Alexander hesitated for a moment, torn between his desire to shield Sophia from the harsh realities of the world and his need to confide in her. But ultimately, he knew that he couldn’t keep the truth from her any longer.

“The conversation today,” Alexander admitted, his voice tinged with regret as he turned to face Sophia. “It’s been weighing heavily on my mind.”
