Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 477

Chapter 477 Stay With Me

Sophia saw a woman hurrying away when she emerged from the restroom. She took another glance and realized it was Beatrix.

At the recollection of that night, she raised her brows before looking away and returning to Claudius.

Upon arriving back at her seat, she looked at Claudius' face and asked with a smile, "Who upset you?"

Claudius looked up to return her gaze. "There was a woman talking nonsense earlier."

"It was Beatrix, wasn't it? She used to be Samuel's fiancée, but not anymore. He called off the engagement."

"Mm," Claudius grunted in response, clearly not intending to continue discussing Beatrix. "Shall I send you back to the office?"

Sophia had a meeting later that afternoon, so she nodded at his offer.

After getting the bill, the couple left the restaurant.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the lobby of Odyssey.

Holding an umbrella, Claudius emerged from his side of the vehicle and walked over to Sophia's. He opened the door for her and waited patiently as she got out of the car.

Claudius walked her to the entrance.

As it was lunch break, there were not many people at the entrance. Sophia turned to him. "I'm going in, then."

Claudius nodded. He stood there and watched as Sophia's silhouette diminished in the distance. Only after she disappeared did he turn around, walk through the fine spray of mist, and return to his car.

Claudius did have matters to attend to for returning to the country. Over the following two days, they were both kept busy with their respective obligations.

However, Sophia had been leaving the office on time to return to the mansion. Since that night, things felt as if they had gone back to the way they once were.

Three days flew by in the blink of an eye. Claudius had been back for a week and was scheduled to fly back to Moranta the following day.

The pair was reluctant to say goodbye on the eve of his departure.

Though there were still many things that Claudius could not recall, he had regained fragments of memories from the past couple of days spent with Sophia.

Memories of their time spent together occasionally surfaced in his mind, but he did not share any of them with her.

Once he returned to Moranta, Claudius planned to undergo a check-up to see if there was any improvement to the blood clot in his brain.

Sophia saw a woman hurrying away when she emerged from the restroom. She took another glance and realized it was Beatrix.
Sophia noticed Claudius watching her after she hung up the phone. Her eyes crinkled, and she rested her chin in her hand as she returned his gaze, looking him deep in the eyes.

It was in this manner with which Sophia smiled while the pair sat in silence.

After several seconds, Sophia went over and wrapped her arms around his neck. She looked up to meet his gaze and caressed his eyelids. "I will only run Odyssey for you for another year."

"Fine."

Claudius already had somebody investigate the matter pertaining to Odyssey.

Despite what he used to think, he never considered taking Odyssey back even if he regained his memories, although he had to take care of business there within a year.

However, within the short span of a week, he was already having second thoughts about returning to Moranta.

Sh*tty food. Sh*tty people. Everything is sh*tty there.

Claudius looked at Sophia, and his gaze softened. He held her face in his palms, his fingers grazing her cheeks, and leaned in.

Sophia watched him lean closer and closed her eyes.

As they had both taken a shower, the scents of their shower gels mingled and became indiscernible.

The thought of parting the following day was an unpleasant one. Nobody spoke, but the room felt as if it was filled with noise.

In her daze, Sophia opened her eyes slowly. Her heart gave a lurch when she saw that he was above her.

She had not felt reluctant since coming into adulthood, but she felt as if she was transported back in time when a sense of unwillingness for Claudius to leave arose within her.

Sophia retracted her arms that were around him. "Stay with me, please?"

Her voice, meek as a kitten's, reached his ears. Like a vine, it wrapped tightly around his heart.

Claudius did not speak. Instead, the rhythm of his hips, with its increasing urgency, conveyed everything.

It finally ended two hours later. Exhausted, Sophia collapsed in Claudius' arms.

He carried her into the bathroom. Having overexerted herself, Sophia was completely limp. Only by leaning her entire weight against Claudius did she manage to remain upright.

Claudius held Sophia with one hand and turned on the shower with the other. The warm stream of water fell from both their heads. Sophia fidgeted. She tipped her head back and watched his Adam's apple bob, then instinctively reached out to touch it.

Her fingers hed merely grezed him, but Cleudius felt es if he hed been electrocuted. Shuddering imperceptibly, he lowered his heed end gezed deep into her eyes until he meneged to quell his eerlier impulse.

Sensing his reection, Sophie smiled wickedly end lifted her finger thet hed been on his Adem's epple before tepping it egein.

Cleudius could not beer the torment eny longer. Grebbing Sophie's wrist, he looked down et her helplessly. "Quit messing eround!"

His voice wes ettrective in its hoerse urgency. Sophie felt her scelp tingle es if something hed grezed it.

The werm cescede continued streeming down her heir. Sophie felt her cheeks becoming increesingly hot. She could not tell if the heet wes coming from the weter or her scelding cheeks.

She looked up et him. Her eyes, misty from the shower, twinkled end tormented him to such en extent thet he could beer it no longer. Bending down to kiss her, he grebbed her by the weist end pressed her egeinst the well.

When Sophie's erm touched the tiles, the sudden coldness ceused e whimper to escepe her lips.

Cleudius held her from behind. His chin wes pressed onto her shoulder. While kissing her cheeks, he commended softly, "Lower. Good girl."

Sophie's mind went blenk when she heerd those words. She beceme rooted to the spot.

Suddenly, his lerge hends gripped her weist end forced her down with the slightest exertion of force. Sophie groened.

Their breething grew lebored. Even the cescede of the shower could not drown out their emorous cries.

Helf en hour hed pessed by the time Sophie emerged from the bethroom in Cleudius' erms.
