Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 581 Confession Site

Sophia followed the man's line of sight and directed her gaze toward Charlize, who seemed fully absorbed in enjoying the assortment of fruits on the platter and was oblivious to the man's attention.

Nevertheless, Sophia only let a small smile grow on her lips, not planning to bring Charlize's attention to the matter.

“Soph, I heard from Charles that you've gotten an arbor at home and that it's beautiful.”

Sophia could not stop the chuckle from escaping her. “It's November now. The flowers have all but wilted. It's not at all pretty in this season.”

The realization only dawned upon Charlize when Sophia said that. “Oh, you're right. But I'm sure it must look gorgeous during spring.”

Sophia chuckled again. “Do come and take a look when spring comes.”

“Sure!”

While the two chatted, a few socialites beside them were conversing too. However, as they had their backs facing Sophia and Charlize, they never noticed the duo's presence. One of the socialites soon mentioned Heath, sparking a discussion among the group. “Have you heard the latest gossip? Apparently, there's a rumor going around that Heath, the man Mrs. Xenos had an affair with, actually has a four-year-old daughter!”

“What? That's sudden, but Heath has always been a playboy. It's not surprising to hear that he has an illegitimate daughter.”

“Indeed it's not surprising, but what's even more surprising is that another woman has emerged, causing a commotion with the Barker family. She claims to be pregnant and insists that Heath should take responsibility for the child. It seems like the rumors about his illegitimate daughter have just started circulating, and now there's another woman pregnant with his child. The family that was planning a marriage alliance with the Barkers is considering breaking off the engagement.”

“About six months ago, Mr. Barker arrived in Jadeborough to establish the Barker family's new company. However, following this incident, his brother has called him back.”

“Tsk, I guess you can say he's talented in a way. It's one thing to be a casanova, but it's another to go after Mrs. Xenos. He's definitely a gutsy one.”

The group of them was excitedly chattering away about the gossip in the circle. The more Charlize listened, the more baffled she was. A while ago, she had been traveling with Spencer, so she only spent a few days of the month in Jadeborough.

In other words, she did not have the time nor the energy to find out about the biggest gossip, let alone the exclusive ones within their social circle.

Still, she was shocked that Heath had dared to go after Alexander's wife.

Whipping her head to look at Sophia, she whispered in disbelief, “Soph, did Heath really try to court you?”
