Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 442

Upon hearing what Rose said, Yasmin let out a cold snort. "Did you hear that, Claudius? Mdm. Rose is asking her to apologize. You guys are in the wrong!"

Sophia glanced at Yasmin before flashing Rose a smile. "What if I don't want to apologize?"

Sophia paused and continued, "I think you should be very clear about whether I have snatched Ms. Lawre's fiancé away."

Rose wasn't angered. Instead, her gaze turned friendlier when she looked at Sophia. "You have quite a temper."

With that, Rose turned toward Yasmin and said, "Yas, I'm actually at fault. I met your dad privately and arranged your marriage with Claudius. If Claudius doesn't want to marry you, I can't force him to."

After that, Rose cast Sophia a glance and added, "If Claudius likes this lady instead of you, there's nothing I can do about it. Please forgive me regarding the marriage arrangement. When I get back to Lusterg, I'll tell your dad about it and cancel the arrangement."

Needless to say, Rose's words caught everyone off guard. Sophia was mentally prepared to get scolded, and she didn't expect Rose to cancel the marriage arrangement between Yasmin and Claudius.

Besides, Sophia could tell that Yasmin was in no position to stop Rose from canceling the marriage arrangement.

On the other hand, Yasmin thought Rose was there to back her up. After all, Yasmin regarded Rose as

her family ever since Yasmin was little. Rose treated Yasmin very well back then, so when Rose asked Yasmin if she would marry Claudius, Yasmin agreed hesitantly.

Yasmin agreed to marry Claudius because he was Rose's son. Besides, he was a good-looking man. Growing up, Yasmin was used to getting praised for her looks, and everyone wanted to befriend her. That was the case for everyone apart from Claudius. In fact, he would ignore her whenever she approached him to greet him.

Since Yasmin had always been living abroad, her personality differed from the local girls. However, she came from a rich family, and she excelled in everything she did. Claudius had been her biggest challenge for the past thirty years of her life. Regardless of how she tried to be more open-minded, she still couldn't accept it.

Besides, she seemed to be attracted to his aloofness.

The more Claudius ignored her, the more she wanted him.

Hence, Yasmin regarded Claudius as a challenge in her life. That was why she couldn't accept it when Rose canceled the marriage arrangement.

Yasmin looked at Rose in disbelief and asked, "What did you say, Mdm. Rose? I don't think I understand you."

"You know how I've always been respectful toward the younger generations, Yasmin. Naturally, I'll give Claudius the freedom to choose who he wants to be with." Rose smiled.

Rose's words had crushed all of Yasmin's hopes and dreams. Yasmin's face was as pale as a sheet when she questioned, "Are you kidding me, Mdm. Rose? An ordinary person would surely not care who Claudius was into. However, considering your status and net worth, the marriage arrangement will only benefit our families."

"I'm old now, and I don't even know how much time I have left. Thus, I don't think too far into the future." Rose heaved a sigh. I'm done talking to Yasmin because my mind is set.

With that in mind, Rose turned to look at Claudius. "Send Ms. Yarrow back."

Rose's attitude toward Sophia was unexpected. Not only Yasmin but Claudius and Sophia also found it mind-boggling.

Sophia didn't know who Rose was, but Sophia found it better now that Alexander had become Claudius. Claudius' mother has to be someone with significant influence. I bet she had already investigated me before she came here today. Still, I didn't expect her to stay out of Claudius' love life. Regardless, it's good that she's a friendly person, and she isn't out to make my life difficult.

Since Rose had already mentioned it, Sophia glanced at Claudius and said, "That's not necessary. My room is on the sixteenth floor." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

As soon as those words fell, Rose smiled and said, "Let him send you. I need to talk to Yasmin."

Seeing how straightforward Rose was, Sophia tactfully flashed a polite smile and said, "I'll be on my way, then, Ma'am."

"My last name is Lenoir," Rose uttered.

Sophia was stunned for a moment, but she regained her senses a second later. "All right, Mdm. Lenoir."

Rose nodded in response and cast Claudius a glance.

Claudius couldn't ask for a better outcome. Initially, he thought he would need some time to convince Rose. Now, it seems like I need to find a way to regain my memories. After all, the fact that I don't remember anything is cruel and unfair to Sophia.

"Let's go." Claudius retracted his gaze and lowered his head to look at Sophia.

Sophia followed him out of the room, and Allen, one of the bodyguards guarding the door, wanted to follow them from behind. Claudius saw that and stopped him. "I'm going down to the sixteenth floor."

Allen stopped in his tracks instantly.

Claudius was staying on the top floor, so there was no one in the elevator.

Sophia followed him into the elevator and watched the doors close. After that, she smiled and asked, "Do you always have two bodyguards following you around?"

"Mm-hmm."

Hearing that, Sophia turned and lifted her head toward Claudius. "You seem to have a good relationship with your mother."

Claudius lowered his head to look at her. "Frankly, I don't feel a connection with her."

Soon, the elevator arrived on the sixteenth floor, and the doors opened.

"It's my floor." Sophia paused and hesitated. "Would you like to come in for a glass of juice?"

It was hard to get a glass of tea or warm water in the foreign country they were in. Since the wine in Sophia's room was taken away, all she could offer him was a glass of juice Katherine had brought over earlier.

"Have you had lunch?" Claudius asked.

Sophia arched a brow. "I don't think it was lunchtime yet when I met you at the mall."

"Let's go downstairs for lunch." Claudius closed the elevator doors, and Sophia went along with it.

Although Alexander had become Claudius, the man was still behaving like Alexander.

The two went to the hotel restaurant for a buffet lunch. Since it was lunchtime, the place was packed.

Sophia wasn't used to western cuisine, so she only took a sandwich for herself. Claudius, on the other hand, seemed to have gotten used to the food there, so he returned with a plate full of food. When he saw Sophia had only taken a sandwich, he asked, "Are you not used to western cuisine?"

"Not really." Sophia took a sip of her apple juice and glanced at his plate. "Well, you seem to have gotten used to the food here."

"I'm not a fan of it, though."

Sophia merely smiled in response. After one hundred and twenty-six days, I'm finally having a meal with Alexander again. Surprisingly, I'm feeling calmer than I expected.
