Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 164

Sophia slept quite soundly on the flight as she did not sleep well the previous night. When she woke up, the plane was about to land.

She moved and realized there was a blanket on her. Needless to say, it was Horatius who had covered her with a blanket.

Although the seats in business class were spacious, Sophia still felt slightly uncomfortable, and her neck felt rather sore from sleeping while sitting upright.

Her movement alerted Horatius as he turned around to look at her. “You're awake?”

Sophia nodded. “Thank you.”

Horatius arched his brows and did not deny it. “The plane has landed.”

She looked out of the window. “The weather doesn't look good today.”

The weather at Jadeborough varied throughout March. After two sunny days, it would be followed by two days of rain. It was likely to rain that day because the day before was overcast.

Horatius cast a glance at Alexander, whose eyes were previously closed. The latter had turned his head to look at them.

Twenty minutes later, the plane landed at Jadeborough Airport.

When they landed, Samuel suddenly called out to her, “Sophia, what a coincidence!”

Sophia cast them a glance but remained silent.

Being in a bad mood, she did not even feel like talking.

Horatius raised a brow and looked at Alexander. He was in a good mood.

There was an afternoon meeting in Sunshine Group, so Yvonne personally drove to pick Sophia up from the airport.

Sophia thanked Horatius for his goodwill before getting in Yvonne's car.

The white car slowly left the parking lot. Samuel looked at Alexander. “Don't feel bad. At least it was Yvonne who came to fetch Sophia. Although you didn't get to send her, Horatius also didn't get to either.”

Alexander's brows furrowed. He saw Horatius glancing at him in the back seat through the car window as the latter's car went by them.

When their eyes met, there was contempt in Horatius' gaze.

Alexander's expression darkened, and he withdrew his gaze after the car went further.

When he regained his senses, he heard Samuel say, “Alex, since when was Yvonne so close to Sophia?”


Alexander glanced at him. “I didn't know you were so nosy.”

Samuel was rendered speechless.

I'm from the entertainment industry. If I'm not nosy, I'll feel sorry for my family business.

Samuel did not dare to say his thoughts as he was afraid Alexander would push him out of the car if he did so.

Sophia did not sleep well the previous night. Although she took a nap during the flight, she was still not in a good mood. She had not spoken a word since she got in the car.

Yvonne recalled that she saw Alexander in the parking lot just now and could not help but curse inwardly at him.

After twenty minutes, the white car entered the highway and drove into the city.

There was a red light at the intersection. Yvonne stopped the car and turned around to look at Sophia.

After a short hesitation, she could not help but say, “Ms. Yarrow, there seems to be someone trying to investigate you these days.”

Sophia was dumbfounded. “Alexander?”

“No, it's someone we have never crossed paths with.”

Sophia was slightly curious. “What?”

“It's the secretary of Doveston's city council.”

Sophia could somewhat recall the person. “Lukas?”

“Yes, his secretary gathered information about you from the employees in the company last night.”

Tsk. That's weird.

Sophia thought her memory was good, but she could not remember any interaction with Lukas.

“What did he find out?”

“He didn't look into you specifically. He was trying to find out more about your mother.”

It was also something that Yvonne found strange. Lukas was a fine man. She thought he had fallen for Sophia and was trying to pursue the latter when she heard his secretary was looking into Sophia.

Lukas was much better than Alexander. Yvonne would be delighted if Sophia got together with him.

However, Lukas was not looking into Sophia specifically but her mother.

Sophia arched her brow. “What about my father?”

“No, they didn't look into him in detail.”

“Help me keep an eye on them.”

This was an odd situation. However, she would have to wait for Lukas to reveal his intentions.

Sophia was very patient concerning such matters, as she had never liked fighting unprepared battles.

Since she was in the dark and did not know if Lukas was a friend or a foe, she would observe the situation first.

Yvonne understood her words and gave a curt nod.

Just then, the light went green. Yvonne turned back and focused on driving.

After fifteen minutes, the car pulled up at Sunshine Group.

The meeting started at half past two in the afternoon and ended at four. When Sophia walked out of the conference room, she suddenly remembered that she had not eaten her lunch yet.

Sophia signed the document Yvonne passed her. “I'm returning home. Call me if there's anything important.”

Yvonne took the document and asked immediately, “Do you need me to send you back?”

Sophia thought for a while and replied, “I'll let Mr. Sullivan send me back.”

“Okay, please wait a moment, Ms. Yarrow.”

Yvonne quickly arranged for the driver to take Sophia back. When Sophia returned to the mansion, her takeout order had also arrived.
