Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 493

After entering the elevator, Sophia watched the door shut slowly before pressing the button with the number twenty-eight.

It was her birthday, and she missed Alexander terribly.

Nonetheless, she knew Alexander was extremely occupied in Moranta, not to mention he had not recovered his memory. That was why Sophia dared not expect too much.

It just so happened that she came to the condominium Alexander used to live in. More importantly, she was feeling a little downcast and did not want to return to the mansion.

Although the condominium had been unoccupied for two years, it still had traces of Alexander from his past residence.

The elevator took only about twenty seconds to move from the thirteenth floor to the twenty-eighth.

When the elevator stopped and opened its doors with a ding, Sophia recollected herself, stared ahead, and walked out.

It was her second time visiting Alexander's condominium, so it took her only a few seconds to find the door.

The combination to the lock was her birthday.

After she keyed in the numbers, the door beeped and unlocked.

Pushing the heavy door open, Sophia stepped into the house and subconsciously turned on the lights, only to recall that the main switch was not turned on.

She smiled at the realization and took out her phone to turn on the flashlight. The moment she looked up again, she noticed that there was light coming from the living room.

Sophia was momentarily stunned. How did a thief break in when this condominium has such a great security system?

It did not take long for her to realize the light coming from the living room was from a balloon.

Stunned yet again, Sophia entered the living room to find the television displaying the words: Happy Birthday, Sophia.

Even so, the house was awfully quiet; not a single voice could be heard.

The entire ceiling was filled with floating balloons that lit up half of the living room. That was when Sophia spotted the card on the coffee table.

She bent over and picked the card up that read: There's a surprise in the master bedroom.

The statement made Sophia cock her brow in puzzlement. Nevertheless, she made her way around the couch to the hallway and saw pots of red roses hanging on both sides.

Adorning the roses were little fairy lights that flickered in a pattern that indicated Sophia to head in the master bedroom's direction.

Hence, she followed the lights and walked to the bedroom. As the door was not shut tightly, Sophia pushed it open and was greeted by a romantically decorated interior that had a warm glow.

Still, no one was to be seen.

More fairy lights arranged into an arrow were pointing toward the walk-in closet.

The first thing that caught her attention were the roses and fairy lights on the bed. In fact, the room was decorated with gorgeous bouquets of roses, filling the air with a wonderful floral scent.

After admiring the interior for a while, Sophia retracted her gaze and entered the walk-in closet.

As soon as she got in, she saw a man getting up from the stool used to change one's shoes in the middle of the space. “Happy birthday, Sophia.”

Sophia stared blankly at Claudius, unable to believe her eyes for a moment. “Why are you here?”

“It's your birthday.”

Claudius gazed at her, his dark eyes sparkling with warmth.

Right then, Sophia walked over and brought the card to his face. “Did you prepare all of this? Did Mr. Schild tell you—”

Claudius suddenly got on one knee before she could finish her sentence.

Sophia was taken aback for once. All she could do was stare at the kneeling man, not knowing how to react.

“This might be a little sudden, but I've been wanting to propose to you ever since I regained my memories. I've waited for fifty-two days, and the day has finally come. Ms. Sophia Yarrow, I'm asking you from the bottom of my heart. Will you marry me?”

There was so much information in his speech that Sophia, who was usually calm, was rendered speechless.

She simply stood frozen to the spot, surprised by Claudius' recovery and delighted by his proposal.

However, the combination of the two pieces of information left her at a loss for what to do. She did not know which to deal with first.

Moreover, Perrin did not seem particularly fond of Alexander.

While she was thinking about that, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from outside, “Say yes. Soph, say yes!”

It was Katherine, and standing beside her were Joshua, Perrin, Lukas, Kylie, and the others.

Katherine took the lead to cheer, emboldening Charlize to join the former.

Sophia glanced at the crowd behind her and smiled suddenly. “Seeing that you're this prepared, I will marry you, Alexander.”

Upon hearing her answer, Alexander looked up at her and carefully slipped the ring he had prepared onto her finger.

The sight of the ring shocked Sophia.

This ring... It's the one Alexander got designed before we divorced back then.

The ring was slipped onto her finger while she was still gripped with surprise.

After that, Alexander got to his feet and slipped an arm around Sophia's waist. Motivated by Katherine's and Charlize's cheers, he planted a kiss on Sophia's forehead.

It was such a light peck that it felt like a gentle tap on Sophia's forehead.

Immediately, she returned to her senses, and she felt her face grow hot with shyness as she swept a glance over the group of friends and family present.

Just then, all the lights in the house were turned on, and the interior brightened. Sophia immediately caught the twinkle in Alexander's dark eyes.

She, too, could not help but smile when she lowered her gaze to study the ring on her finger.

“Another kiss! Another kiss!” Katherine cheered, encouraging Charlize to join her as well.

Sophia eyed the two and smiled. “That's some acting skills.”

Katherine chickened out because of Sophia's stare, and she hurriedly threw herself into Joshua's arms

and stopped cheering.

Now that Katherine had backed out, Charlize, too, lost the courage to carry on.

Meanwhile, Sophia retracted her gaze and was about to approach Perrin when Alexander suddenly interlocked his hand with hers.

While she subconsciously looked at Alexander, he led her to Perrin.

“Mr. Dawson, I know this proposal's a little sudden, but please trust me. I won't let Sophia down again.”

The Dawson family knew what Sophia had been through when Alexander got into that accident. Compared to the past when he could never agree to their relationship, Perrin had come to accept the situation. After all, Sophia was living a much better life than before.

Perrin glanced at Sophia before shifting his attention to Alexander. “Sophia's not alone this time. If you dare bully her again, Lukas will teach you a lesson without needing my instructions.”

With that, he turned to his granddaughter, saying, “Happy birthday, Sophia.”

Sophia gazed at him and flashed him a grateful smile. “Thank you, Granddad.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

It was getting late, and all the rushing over from Doveston exhausted Perrin. Thus, Alexander instructed someone to send the Dawson family to a hotel and handle everything from there. Just like that, Sophia and Alexander were the only ones left at the condominium.
