Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 492 Turned On By Him

Growing impatient inside the car, Katherine felt the urge to get out if Sophia was not back soon.

Just as Sophia got back in, she raised a brow upon noticing Katherine closing her door. “What are you doing?”

Flashing a sheepish smile, Katherine changed the subject. “Has it been resolved?”

“Mm-hmm,” Sophia hummed while giving Katherine a look of amusement.

Feeling awkward from the stare she received, Katherine remarked, “I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat, Soph!”

The suggestion brought a smile to Sophia's face as she retracted her gaze and began to drive.

After the meal, Joshua came over to pick Katherine up.

Sophia, who was left with the car, drove back to the mansion on her own.

Amidst the darkness of the night, Sophia stood on the balcony and gazed at the distant stars in the sky. It wasn't until a long while later that she walked back inside.

She felt like seeing Claudius, but he was occupied with work.

With so much free time on her hands, Sophia could visit the boxing gym more often.

Many new members had joined the gym over the last half year. A young boy who came out of nowhere waited there for Sophia every day after seeing her once.

Upon learning about the matter, the nosey Katherine was tempted to see if the boy was good-looking or not, triggering an eye roll from Sophia. She then rubbed her belly and commented, “Fine. I won't.”

Sophia snorted as she asked, “What would you like to eat later?”

When Katherine showed Sophia her phone, the latter glanced at it and replied, “Got it.”

With that, she started driving slowly.

During the journey, Katherine sucked the lollipop in her hand. “Your birthday is next week, Soph. Do you want to organize a party this year?”

Tapping her finger on the steering wheel, Sophia pondered upon the matter before replying languidly, “Not really.”

She didn't feel like seeing anyone in particular or celebrating her birthday.

Katherine pouted before tilting her head at Sophia. “All right then. Let's just have dinner together.”

The suggestion drew a beam from Sophia, for it was something acceptable to her. “Sure.”

Having known each other for many years, the three of them would always celebrate their birthdays with a meal, to the extent of it becoming a tradition.

As the days passed quickly in summer, Sophia's birthday arrived in the blink of an eye.

All this while, her birthday celebrations had always been low-key, as she didn't like being in a crowd, especially one where she was the center of attention. Therefore, she would only have dinner with Katherine and Joshua during the occasion. It wasn't until her divorce from Alexander that she agreed to let Katherine organize a party just to not let the latter worry.

However, this year was different. On top of Katherine being pregnant, Sophia wasn't in the mood. Having received the same answer despite asking multiple times, the former abandoned the idea of throwing a birthday party for Sophia.

As the days were long in Jadeborough during the month of July, the sky was still bright when Sophia stepped out of Odyssey.

Even though it wasn't even six yet, the roads were already clogged with traffic.

This year, instead of celebrating the birthday at the club they frequented, they did so in Katherine's newly rented condominium.

Coincidentally, it was the same one which Alexander used to stay in previously.

Due to the traffic, the sky was painted flaming red by the time Sophia arrived.

After parking her car, she grabbed her bag and proceeded into the condominium block.

Security was extremely tight in this high-end condominium. Nonetheless, as it wasn't Sophia's first time there, security didn't stop her. The facial recognition system of the surveillance cameras already recognized her.
