After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#243 “Meeting Your Mother Feels Like A Big Deal.”

As the plane soared through the sky towards Minnesota, Alexander couldn’t shake off his nerves. He fidgeted in his seat, constantly adjusting his tie and checking his phone. Sophia couldn’t help but find his behavior amusing.

“Relax, Alex,” she chuckled, nudging him gently. “You’re acting like you’re about to face a firing squad.”

Alexander let out a nervous laugh. “I can’t help it. Meeting your mother feels like a big deal.”

Sophia smiled reassuringly. “Hey, she’s going to love you. Just be yourself.”

“Yeah, but what if she doesn’t?” Alexander’s worry was palpable.

“Silly,” Sophia said, squeezing his hand. “Trust me, my mother has a knack for putting people at ease. Besides, I have a feeling she’s going to have a lot of fun messing with you.”

Alexander looked at her with wide eyes. “Wait, what do you mean by that?”

Sophia laughed. “Oh, don’t worry. It’s nothing bad. She just likes to test people to see how they handle themselves.”

“Well, I hope I pass the test,” Alexander said, a hint of apprehension in his voice.
