Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 456

Chapter 456 A Woman Of Principle

When Sophia arrived at the restaurant, Samuel was already there.

She thanked the waiter for leading her to the table. As soon as she set her bag down, Samuel pulled out the chair for her.

How gentlemanly of him.

Sophia glanced at Samuel and uttered, "Thank you."

Samuel touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. "We're way past these courtesies, so there's no need for such formalities."

Then, he handed her a menu.

Sophia's lips quirked into a smile as she took over the menu. After skimming through the dishes and their prices, she remarked, "You're really generous, Mr. Schild."

The dishes were far from ordinary. Even though it was just the two of them, the meal would easily cost Samuel three to four thousand.

"It's nothing. If you like the food here, you can always come back and put it on my tab," Samuel offered.

Sophia took a sip of her coffee and said, "I won't spare you the courtesy next time, then."

"You're most welcome."

Samuel was not at all concerned about the money.

Sophia proceeded to order several dishes and some soup without hesitation.

"This should be enough for the both of us. After all, it's just the two of us, and it's not likely that we can finish it all," Sophia said.

Samuel nodded. "We can always add more later if needed."

Sophia smiled and took another sip of her coffee. "I'm guessing you didn't invite me here just for a meal, right?"

Samuel let out a chuckle. "Sophia, you're a smart lady. I'm sure you know why I invited you out today."

"I've witnessed almost everything that had happened between you and Alex throughout the years. I might have been hasty this morning and said some offensive things. Please don't hold it against me. As you know, I can be quite forthright," Samuel went on.
