Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 449 Still Alive

After Yvonne left, Rose smiled at Sophia and pointed at a cafe nearby. "Let's talk over there, shall we?"

"All right."

Sophia's impression of Rose was rather complicated. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good, either.

Rose had not sought out Alexander at all for the past thirty years or so, yet suddenly turned up to bring him overseas. That wasn't what a good and responsible mother would do.

"Don't worry. I won't cause you to miss your flight." The corners of Rose's lips curled as she noticed Sophie checking the time on her watch.

Sophia returned the gesture and followed her into the cafe that wasn't too crowded then.

Rose chose a spot with more privacy and ordered two lattes before they each took their seats.

"Mdm. Lenoir, may I know why you're looking for me?"

Rose was being quite amiable, and Sophie remembered that the former said she wouldn't object her relationship with Claudius.

Nonetheless, Sophia had no idea whether Rose truly approved of their relationship or was merely putting on an act in front of Claudius.

Rose flicked her hair and retrieved a set of documents from her bag, which she handed to Sophia. "Ms. Yarrow, since you need to go through a security check before boarding your plane, I'll keep things brief.

I only realized I was pregnant after I had moved overseas, and it was too late for an abortion. I inquired about Zachary, learning he was still together with Kristen. As such, I resented him and the child. Once I was eight months pregnant, I returned to the country wanting to send the infant to Old Mr. Xenos immediately

that happened after that seemed like a blur. I spent two more months in Chanaea and departed only after giving my child a proper burial. I never returned after that as there were too many people and incidents I wasn't willing to face." Rose cast her glance at Sophia. "I only knew of Claudius' existence last year.
