Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 564

Bethany looked at the retreating figures of Sophia and Alexander, and when she turned around, she noticed that Zaynard was also looking at them. Her expression contorted slightly. She quickly reached out and took Zaynard's hand, asking tentatively, “Zaydie, you know her?”

Upon hearing Bethany's voice, Zaynard withdrew his gaze and turned to Bethany. “Don't you know who she is?” He snorted. “Everyone knows who she is. She's the famous Mrs. Xenos.”

Bethany could sense the implications behind his words, but she chose to continue feigning ignorance. “You said you hadn't seen her in a while, so I assumed you two were close friends.”

Zaynard looked at Bethany and pinched her cheek. “That's because I used to pursue Sophia. Are you jealous?”

From the moment Bethany first approached Zaynard, she had already developed an understanding of him. In fact, she had worked hard to reach the position she was in today.

Upon hearing Zaynard's words, most women would either openly admit to feeling jealous or deny it while displaying obvious signs of jealousy through their behavior.

Over the years, Zaynard had been involved with countless women, almost a hundred if not more. Bethany knew that if she were to act in that way, Zaynard would soon lose interest in her.

She smiled and said, “Isn't it normal for me to feel jealous? But, Zaydie, I believe you should also learn about my past.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Given the significant attention her matter with Alexander had attracted in Jadeborough, Zaynard was

naturally aware of it.

As soon as Bethany uttered those words, Zaynard forcefully grabbed her face and bit her cheek hard. “You'll be in deep trouble if you dare cheat on me, Bethany.”

“Same goes to you,” Bethany responded.

Zaynard glanced once more at Sophia's retreating figure. By now, Sophia and Alexander were already quite far away, and he could no longer make out their silhouettes from the distance.

He had long understood the complexities of a woman's mind, having seen through them when he was just twenty-five years old.

However, after fooling around with women for years, Zaynard felt it was time for him to settle down.

Bethany was lucky to have given Zaynard a son, bringing great joy to Rafael. This newfound happiness was evident in Rafael's improved attitude toward Zaynard.

Zaynard knew he had to put on an act in front of Bethany, but it was all for the sake of their son.

Meanwhile, Sophia remained oblivious to the fact that Zaynard and Bethany were merely acting. She held a negative impression of Zaynard, believing that if it were not for Rafael's senility, he would have continued to be a good-for-nothing for the rest of his life.

It's quite surprising to witness how Bethany managed to tame a womanizer like Zaynard and bear him a son. During our earlier encounter, Bethany seemed quite nervous when she looked at me...

“What's on your mind?” Alexander handed her a bottle of water.

Sophia regained her senses and gave him a smile. “Just wondering if Ms. White still has feelings for you.”

Upon hearing that, Alexander could not help but recall the past. Without hesitation, he pulled her into his arms and said, “I never had anything to do with her.”

“I know.” Sophia smiled, lowering her head to take a sip of water. “That's precisely why I'm curious if she still has feelings for you, not the other way around.”

Alexander knew she was doing it on purpose. A rare hint of amusement flashed across his dark eyes. “That's her problem.”

“Are you sure you can resist her charm?”

“I can't resist yours, that's for sure.” A cool breeze blew by, and Alexander lifted his hand to brush aside a strand of hair from Sophia's cheek.

Sophia caught the implication in his words, and her face blushed slightly.

It had indeed been a long time since the two of them had played golf. Sophia had not visited such a recreational facility since Alexander had an accident last year.

Since it had also been a while since she last held a golf club, her first shot did not go into the hole.

Nevertheless, as someone with some foundation in golf, Sophia soon picked up the moment in the sport.

Recalling the previous bet she had made with Samuel, she asked Alexander, “Let's have a match, shall we?”

“Are there any rewards for winning?”

Alexander turned to face her, the indifference on his face fading under the sun, and he appeared more refined and gentle.

After contemplating for a moment, Sophia asked, “Do you have any suggestions?”

Alexander gazed at her without reservation. “If I win, you'll have to call me Hubby from now on.” After a short pause, he continued, “If you win, I'll call you Darling from now on.”

“No matter how you put it, you're the one who will ultimately benefit from this match.” Sophia chuckled at his playful remark. What difference will it make since he occasionally calls me his darling?

Sensing her hesitation, Alexander made a slight adjustment. “If you win the match, you can make a request, and I'll do it.”

Sophia looked at him, raising her brows. “Any request?”

“Yes, any request.”

“Great.”

Sophia had not decided on what she wanted him to do, but she was not in a rush. After all, they had a long future ahead of them.

Half an hour later, Sophia watched as Alexander's final shot slowly went into the hole. She smiled and said, “Fine, I accept my defeat.”

Just as she finished speaking, Alexander was already standing in front of her. “You accept your defeat, huh, Darling?”

Sophia's face blushed slightly as she met his dark gaze. She pursed her lips and called out, “Hubby.”

Sophia looked away. I guess I can get used to calling him that even though I'm still a little shy.

“What would you like to have for dinner, Darling?” He seemed to have developed an obsession with calling her that.

Sophia's ears turned red. “I don't have anything particular in mind.”

“How about a private dining place?”

“Sure.”

The two of them spent around two hours at the golf course until it was past six in the evening. They then headed to the private dining place arranged by Felix.

Sophia could not help but acknowledge Felix, Alexander's secretary, for being just as thoughtful as

Yvonne. The dishes he ordered not only catered to Alexander's palate but also included Sophia's favorites.

The private dining place was not located in the city center but was a renovated private residence. The environment was excellent, and even the restroom was elegantly designed.

Sophia cast a quick glance at herself in the mirror and noticed that most of her light makeup had faded. However, she did not feel inclined to touch it up.

After wiping her hands with a tissue, she discarded it in the trash bin nearby and turned to leave the restroom.

Just a few steps after walking out of the restroom, she accidentally bumped into someone. “I'm sorry.”

As the woman who was looking down and playing with her phone walked toward Sophia, Sophia, who had just come out of the restroom, was captivated by a painting on a wall. She did not react in time and ended up colliding with the woman.

They were both at fault, but since Sophia did not want to dwell on such a minor matter, she took the initiative to apologize first.

However, the other person was not willing to let it slide so easily. Looking up at Sophia, she snapped, “Are you blind? You crashed into me like that, and you think a simple apology is sufficient? You've hurt me!”

Sophia raised her eyebrows. “If you hadn't been looking down at your phone, I don't think I would have bumped into you.”
