The Almighty Dominance

The next morning, after a restful sleep, Alex's phone buzzed, and he picked it up without a second thought.

It was Abraham, Sophia's grandfather.

"Alex, I've heard about Sophia's behavior. That silly girl! How could she ask for a separation? I'm so sorry for how she treated you, I've given her a good talking to."

But Alex wasn't bothered in the slightest.

If Sophia wanted a separation, he wasn't going to stand in her way.

After all, marriage is not something he could ever force, even from the beginning

He had fulfilled his duty by agreeing to the marriage, hoping that it might lead him to some clues about his mother.

"Where are you now? I'll send a car to pick you up. I want Sophia to apologize to you in person."

"No need for that, grandpa. I'll come on my own." Alex quiddy declined.

He sighed as the call ended.

Marriage really was a headache at times.

But still, he was going back, out of respect for Grandpa Abraham, and man's responsibility.

Half an hour later, Alex pulled up at Lancaster Mansion in his sleek black Bugatti. After commanding the car's Al to return home and await his call, he stepped out. Sophia was waiting at the door.

Grandpa Abraham must have told her to greet him, but her face looked like she'd just bitten into a lemon.

It was obvious she was still fuming from the scolding, but that wasn't his problem, was it?

Despite her annoyance, Sophia was slightly concerned.

Alex had stormed out the night before, and she felt guilty for telling him to leave.

He had no money, no friends.

Did he spend the night on the street?

"Where did you sleep last night? Not a refuge or park for homeless, I hope?" she asked, her voice dripping with skepticism.

Alex was amused.
