Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 445 Whatever You Say

At Claudius' remark, Sophia dipped her head and chuckled softly. Whirling around, she went into the walk-in closet and changed before emerging again.

She still wore a maxi dress this time, but it was much more elegant and casual compared to the one Katherine wanted her to wear together that night.

The light apricot floral chiffon dress paired with a dark blue denim jacket on the outside gave her a casual sense of being on vacation.

She had no makeup on, merely lipstick.

The maple red lipstick complemented her dress perfectly. Despite the lack of makeup, her complexion had improved considerably.

Claudius had just hung up the phone when he was greeted by the sight of Sophia walking out the instant he lifted his eyes.

His ebony eyes flickered, and he complimented her generously, "You're absolutely gorgeous."

A smile bloomed on Sophia's face. "Thank you."

Snagging her phone, she left the room with Claudius.

Claudius stayed on the top floor, while Sophia was only two floors below his room. The elevator remained empty until it reached the restaurant on the third floor, and a few people entered.

As Sophia was tall and slender with fair skin and Aplothian features, those who stepped into the elevator reflexively took a second look at her.

Epeans with chiseled features, bright hair, and blue eyes appeared exceedingly romantic and alluring when they stared someone in the eye.

The Epean who entered the elevator was very much open, staring at Sophia as soon as he stepped in.

If it were any other women, they would have long since been hypnotized.

However, Sophia merely smiled faintly before lifting a hand to tuck the scattered hair by her cheek to the back of her ear. Then, she turned and looked away.

Probably because of her unresponsiveness, the Epean man retracted his gaze and conversed with his friends in Ustranasion.

Listening in, Sophia and Claudius gathered that the men were talking about a seductive blonde girl they had met last night.

The conversation was somewhat scandalous. On instinct, Sophia stole a peek at Claudius, only to notice that the man was also looking at her.

Mortified, Sophia withdrew her gaze and pinned her eyes on the elevator floor display.

Fortunately, the elevator arrived at the second sub-basement shortly. It was a little past eight at night, and a crowd had only started thronging the casino.
