Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 544

Sophia put down her phone and glanced at Alexander.

Alexander was grilling corn when he heard the doorbell ring. He furrowed his brows. It's raining today, and the filming has paused. Celia and the others wouldn't be as insolent as to bother us at this time.

The party that first came to Alexander's mind was the film crew from Samuel's company. He placed the grilled corn onto the plate next to him and handed it to Sophia before getting up to answer the door.

When he opened the door, he saw several people standing outside.

The director, Ross Looney, was taken aback when he saw Alexander. Before going there, he had repeatedly emphasized to his crew that the manor was closed to the public and lent to Samuel's friend. Their filming crew was rushing to meet a deadline, and Samuel had allowed them to shoot there only because they were part of Planetary Media. However, they were prohibited from disturbing Samuel's friends during the filming.

Considering Samuel's status in Jadeborough, his friends would undoubtedly also be significant figures.

Nevertheless, Ross didn't expect that person to be Alexander. Everyone in Jadeborough knows Alexander Xenos. what the h*ll did Nina do to cross him? Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Despite the surprise, Ross, coming from a family of high social status, quickly suppressed his astonishment. He immediately put on an ingratiating smile and said, “Mr. Xenos, I'm sorry for the intrusion. I heard that one of the actresses from our film crew seemed to have disturbed you when she took a walk outside earlier. So, I deliberately brought her here to apologize to you.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, Sophia reached Alexander's side.

Ross' expression turned paler when he noticed Sophia.

Being in the entertainment industry, Ross could guess what happened even though the secretary didn't specify on the phone how Nina had bothered Alexander.

When stumbling into a wealthy, handsome, and accomplished man, even a famous female celebrity would be tempted to make a move, not to mention a young, obscure actress like Nina.

Although not everyone recognized Alexander, anyone who could become friends and have a connection with Samuel must be somewhat successful.

If Samuel's friend could convince Samuel to lend him the manor, wouldn't accessing Midway Media's resources be an easy task if one were to become acquainted with him?

Such incidents were common in the entertainment industry. Elise's soaring popularity and abundant resources came from her connection with the Johnson family. Not to mention, she was merely affiliated with Charles' cousin instead of Charles himself, yet she could already do as she pleased in the industry. Ross was a worldly man and didn't view that strategy as scandalous.

If Nina could latch on to Alexander, that would benefit their film crew.

However, Sophia, Alexander's wife, was there too.

The two had divorced once and had just remarried not long ago. Alexander was married twice but to

the same woman—Sophia Yarrow.

In the past, the news about changes in Sophia and Alexander's relationship was sensational. Everyone knew Sophia was not a small character and how challenging the process had been for Alexander to win back her affection.

Nina's audacity in attempting to seduce Alexander before his wife was no different from courting death.

Ross glanced at Sophia, the expression on his face changing with each passing moment.

Meanwhile, Nina's agent, Wendy, wasn't doing any better. She knew Nina well. Although Nina hadn't told her the truth, Wendy guessed what had happened the moment she saw Alexander open the door.

That man was none other than Alexander.

Putting aside Alexander's identity, the most crucial point was Sophia's presence.

Compared to their awkward and helpless mien, Sophia appeared exceptionally composed. “What a crowd. Did all your phones also run out of battery after a fall?”

Sophia flashed a faint smile as she spoke and glanced at Nina with a hint of mockery in her gaze. Recalling what Katherine said earlier, she couldn't help but arch her brow. “Didn't I have the staff send you back just now, Miss?”

Although Nina didn't know who Alexander and Sophia were, she could tell from Ross' and her agent's expressions that the couple before her were no ordinary people.

She was suddenly at a loss for what to do.

Nina was stumped as Sophia directed the question at her. Having been disturbed multiple times, Alexander was losing patience. “There's no need to apologize. I just don't want to hear the doorbell ring a third time and find out it's one of your people again.”

Ross' face stiffened after he heard Alexander's words. He initially wanted to speak further but caught himself. Not daring to say another word, he merely nodded. “Rest assured, Mr. Xenos, that won't happen again. Please excuse our ignorance for disturbing both you and Mrs. Xenos. We'll take our leave right away.”

Sophia chuckled. “It's no big deal, so why did you come here to apologize?” She swept her eyes across Nina. “Still, this manor is indeed expansive. It would be best to stick with your agent when you go out next time. Otherwise, if something bad happens, it'll be really awful. Also, be more mindful when you walk. Pay more attention to the road instead of looking everywhere. Otherwise, the next time you fall, the consequences will be dire.”

Chills traveled down Ross' and Wendy's spines as they listened to Sophia's double-edged remarks.

Alexander glanced at Sophia. Although he couldn't fathom her intention behind uttering those words since she wasn't one to get jealous easily, he still expressed his support by adding, “Samuel should've made it clear when he allowed your crew to film here. Aside from the area you're shooting in, you can't roam freely in the manor. I didn't pay to rent this manor so you could stroll around and enjoy the scenery. Your crew members better not show up in front of me and my wife again.”

With that, he slammed the door shut.

Sophia beamed at Alexander. “Are you angry?”

He turned to look at her, and the irritation from getting interrupted dissipated. He walked over and hugged her. “Just a little.”

She gently touched his brows. “Getting mad over some strangers and causing you to age faster isn't something worthwhile.”

Sophia was trying to quell his anger, but Alexander focused on a certain part of her sentence. “Are you saying that I'm old?”

His eyes shone with seriousness as he asked that question. He didn't seem to be joking at all.

Sophia was amused by him and couldn't help but laugh. “Are you that unconfident, Mr. Xenos?”

Sensing her teasing, he lifted her in his arms. “Do you think I'm not confident, Mrs. Xenos?”

She wrapped her arm around his neck and regarded him with a knowing look. “That will have to depend on what aspect you're referring to.”

Alexander was stumped. However, taking in her relaxed countenance, he knew she did that on purpose. He carried her into the mansion while replying, “I do lack some confidence, so I need to seek reassurance from you.”

He slumped against the couch with her in his arms as he spoke. Sophia blushed. “I haven't finished eating yet...”

Alexander lowered his head and kissed her while uttering in a hoarse voice, “After I have my fill, I'll feed you.”

Sophia understood his innuendo, and her face instantly flushed crimson.
