Chapter 569


    Charlotte was about to continue her words, but it was evident that Manuel did not wish to listen to her


    any longer as he quickly got into the car.


    Before she could do the same, the car had already sped off.


    It was clear as day that Manuel would not give her another chance.


    Charlotte did not expect that a seemingly small mistake she made would cause such a significant


    impact.


    Not long after, Sophia was also preparing to leave. As she stepped out of the elevator, she bumped into


    Charlotte, who was carrying documents and had not left yet.


    Thetter''s expression changed the moment she saw Sophia.


    As soon as their eyes met, Charlotte felt hatred ring up within her. “You must be very pleased with


    yourself, Ms. Yarrow,” she remarked with a sneer as she stared at Sophia, who had juste up to her


    side.


    Sophia cocked her head to the side and threw the other woman a nce at those words. “I wouldn''t


    say I''m very pleased, but I''m pretty happy today.”


    “Of course you are, considering how casually you seize control of someone else''s future by making me


    lose my job with just a few words. How impressive, Ms. Yarrow.”


    Charlotte believed that Sophia was the reason Heath left her and also the reason she was currently let


    go by thepany.


    From her perspective, she had merely been a little aggressive that day and said some distasteful things


    to Sophia, but thetter had effortlessly flipped her life upside down.


    She felt she had been wronged and refused to ept it.


    Sophia''s smile faded when she heard that. “Since you''re aware of that, why are you still standing here


    and embarrassing yourself?”


    Her nonchnt retort rendered Charlotte speechless, thetter''s face contorting in anger.


    Sophia, on the other hand, turned around and left, not wanting to waste another second talking to an


    insignificant person.


    Since Alexander went back to Odyssey that day, she nned to visit Katherine.


    It had been more than a week since Katherine gave birth, and she was restless at home. She would


    have long asked Sophia to meet outside if Joshua had not been watching her at home.


    Katherine, who was bored to tears at home, appreciated Sophia''s visit immensely and spent hours


    gossiping with her friend, only letting her leave when Alexander came to pick her up in person.


    She probably would have made Sophia stay at her house if he had not shown up.


    The weather at Jadeborough was increasingly chilly in November, with substantial temperature


    differences between day and night.


    It was bright and sunny outside when Sophia left for Sunshine Group that morning. Due to the pleasant


    weather, she merely donned a basic shirt dress because she did not feel cold. In addition, the heating


    that had been left on in the room since Katherine gave birth made her even less aware of the cold.


    However, Alexander brought a coat with him and ced it over her shoulders as she stepped out of


    Katherine''s house, telling her to wear it.


    Sophia pulled the coat around her and chuckled softly, finding his actions unnecessary. “I''m merely


    pregnant, Alexander. It''s not as if there''s anything wrong with me, so I''m not that fragile, am I?”


    Alexander tilted his head to nce at her before reaching out to smooth the tousled hair on top of her


    head. “The wind is stronger tonight.”


    Sophia quirked a brow in response. “Jadeborough is always windy at night.”


    “Take it off when you get in the car.”


    Since he insisted on her wearing it, she said nothing more.


    Sophia felt the chill as soon as she walked out.


    It was indeed chilly. The wind carried the dampness from the river, which was not just cold, but also


    frigid.


    Alexander''s car was parked at the entrance, which was not far as it was only a few steps across the


    garden.


    However, if it were not for the coat Alexander covered her with, Sophia would have been freezing


    instead of merely feeling a slight chill at present.


    The hand of the person walking beside her was even warmer, making her feel embarrassed when she


    recalled how she chuckled at Alexander for overreacting.

    Felix had reserved a table for them at a Chanaean-style restaurant. Sophia''s senses seemed to have


    be much more sensitive after she got pregnant, and she became pickier about her food than


    before. The lingering smell of food that was not fresh or poorly prepared made her sick.


    Hence, the meals Alexander prepared for her recently and the restaurant food he chose were milder in


    vor.


    The two ate dinner and went for a stroll among the crowd to let their food settle before he took her


    home.


    Life went on much more uneventfully than expected. After Alexander and Sophia had gone through so


    much and got back together again, they were much more mature and rational in their rtionship, and


    the asional conflicts did not affect them.


    Though Alexander asionally went back to Odyssey, the majority of his focus was on Sophia.


    As for thetter, she had been a person who lived life well from the start, having been able to separate


    her private life and work clearly even during the time Sunshine Group was established.


    Now that everything was in order and stable, one could say that she was living a fully retired life.


    Sophia was very indolent before bing pregnant. She had a lot of free time after she was


    expecting, so she asked Yvonne to bring back a few pots of roses and had a gazebo constructed in the


    garden. She intended to prune the roses so that they could climb the gazebo, and she also requested


    Yvonne to bring her grapes.


    The gazebo in the garden would be encircled by roses by the time her child was born the next year. By


    then, the grapes ought to be ripe as well.


    Sophia had been tending to the roses and grapes for the past few days, and since Alexander did not go


    back to Odyssey much recently, he helped her set up shelves at home.


    The couple kept themselves busy every day, their lives going by smoothly in the mansion. No one


    dared to disturb them, giving them a taste of a reclusive life.


    Sophia did not learn about the news online until Katherine called her. She found it absurd that the news


    reported her “cheating” when all she had been doing was tending to her garden at home.


    Katherine also treated it as a joke when she told Sophia, and thetter did not take it seriously either.


    She had kept her mood happy throughout her pregnancy of more than two months and did not want


    some trivial matters to ruin it.


    However, Alexander, who was bringing fertilizer to her from the mansion, happened to overhear it as


    she had left her phone aside on speaker mode after epting the call due to her dirty hands.


    He could hear Katherine''s crisp voice from afar.


    He ced the fertilizer aside, and by the time Sophia looked over, his brows were tightly furrowed.


    Katherine was unaware of it on the other end of the line. As she got excited the more she talked, she


    even teased her friend, “Soph, I bet Alexander would be furious if he found out about this, wouldn''t he?


    I wonder who is so bored as to spread rumors of you cheating.”


    Sophia looked at Alexander and quickly took off her gloves, grabbed her phone, and ended the call.


    “I''ll get Felix to look into this.”


    Before Sophia could say anything, Alexander was already calling Felix on his phone.


    She could only chuckle helplessly. Great. I can''t be a good person even if I want to.
