Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 423

Chapter 423 Sophia Has A Boyfriend

In any case, Perrin was relieved.

After their walk, he sent Sophia off to rest.

At the same time, Lukas had dropped Alexander off at his hotel. The latter had texted Sophia to let her know he had arrived about half an hour ago.

Sophia only saw his text then and fired off a reply. Alexander texted back almost instantly: Done with your walk?

Sophia: Yes.

A second later, Alexander sent her an audio message.

“What are your plans tomorrow?”

Sophia recalled Perrin's words earlier and inadvertently smirked. She decided to play a prank on him and called him back. “Granddad wants to introduce me to his friend's grandson.”

There was a longer pause before Alexander continued, “Where are you headed?”

“I don't know yet.”

“Hmm.” A moment later, Alexander added, “Get an early rest.”

Sophia thought he was angry and called out hastily, “Alexander?”

“What's wrong?”

Tentatively, she asked, “Are you angry?”

“No.”

Alexander was hardly an oblivious fool. He knew Sophia's grandfather had never warmed up to him, and he was painfully aware of Perrin's multiple attempts at matchmaking Sophia with another man.

So, no, he was not angry, but he certainly wished to have someone investigate the man Sophia would meet the next day.

Alexander appeared to be telling the truth, as Sophia surmised that his tone sounded the same as it always did.

Still, if she hung up now, Alexander would definitely think that the matchmaking was real.

She giggled and fessed up. “I lied. We're visiting Mr. Willis at the hospital tomorrow.”

Alexander appeared uncharacteristically startled. He recovered himself sometime later, a wry smile on his face. “Cheeky girl. Don't crack jokes like that next time.”
