Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 631 Why Do You Ask

When he saw her standing still and hesitant, Alexander gently placed the clothesline pole down, turned around, and carried her back to the bed.

Sophia felt a tinge of embarrassment as she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

Alexander’s skin felt cold to the touch as he had been standing on the balcony for quite some time.

Realizing this, he gently released Sophia after placing her back on the bed. He then tucked the covers around her and chided, “It’s cold out there, so you’ll catch a cold if you spend too long standing outside.”

Sophia countered, “You’ve closed the floor-to-ceiling window. The wind won’t be able to reach me. Hence, it’s not considered outside.”

Alexander caressed her head tenderly in response. Removing his jacket, he threw it onto the swing chair. He then carefully lifted her, still wrapped in the blanket, and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. “It’s still cold.”

With that, he pulled Sophia into his loving embrace.

Amused by his overprotective nature, Sophia cried out, “We have a heater in the room, you know!”

Alexander remained silent as he gave her a knowing look. He then reached into the pile of clothes she had placed by the bed and retrieved a sweater. “It’s still cold.”

The room was dimly lit, with only a nightlight emitting a soft glow.

After putting on the sweater, Sophia looked up and observed Alexander as he put on the overcoat for her. Affectionately, she rubbed her head against his chest. “The baby says it misses its daddy.”

“And what about its mommy?”

“She misses its daddy too.”

Ever since she fell pregnant, she had become especially affectionate and attached to Alexander. His heart warmed as Sophia hugged him tightly.

He placed the overcoat by the side and returned the embrace, savoring the tender moment. “What would you like for dinner?” he asked.

After some thought, Sophia answered, “Something hot and comforting.”

“Hotpot?” Alexander suggested, wondering why she insisted on beating around the bush instead of directly stating her preference.

Sophia smiled in acknowledgment. “Sure. It’s been a while since I had hotpot.”
