Chapter 626 Utmost Importance
Felix had no choice but to arrange for Alexander to visit Corleon the following week because of
objections from Fortuna’s shareholders.
After finding out Felix had booked a flight to Corleon for Tuesday, Sophia decided to check the weather
at their destination. She discovered that it was cold and had recently experienced snowfall. Hence, she
decided to pack a few sets of thick clothes into their luggage.
The flight was scheduled for ten in the morning, and they both got up around eight. After having
breakfast, they headed straight to the airport.
There was no direct flight from Jadeborough to Corleon; they had to transit at the capital.

The flight from Jadeborough to the capital took less than two hours. Sophia, who had been easily
fatiguedtely due to her pregnancy, immediately dozed off as soon as they boarded the ne.
Alexander asked the flight attendant for a nket and gently rested her head on his shoulder before
draping the nket over her.
The flight attendant who brought the nket found the couple familiar and couldn’t help but sneak
nces. She couldn’t deny that they looked like a perfect match. However, she couldn’t recall where
she had seen them before. Hence, she discreetly asked her colleagues, “Have you seen that couple
before? They both look stunning! They seem familiar. I’m sure I’ve seen them somewhere before!”
“That’s Alexander Xenos. His wife is called Sophia Yarrow. They had their wedding a few days ago,
and it was all over the news. Don’t you know?”
“Oh, yes! I remember now. They are the renowned couple from the Xenos family, whose wedding made
headlines just half a month ago! Mr. Xenos asked me for a nket earlier as his wife was asleep. The
way he gently covered her with the nket was so sweet! Oh my, he is such a perfect man! Why can’t I
ever meet someone like him!” the flight attendant eximed, sharing her encounter with her
colleagues.
“Hah! I don’t think you’ll dare strike up a conversation even if you meet him. Alexander is known to stay
away from women.”
The flight attendant pondered before replying, “That’s true. I probably wouldn’t have the courage even if
I met someone like him. Besides, Mrs. Xenos is a formidable woman herself even before marrying
Alexander! I guess we should just keep working hard to be better versions of ourselves.”
Meanwhile, Sophia slept peacefully on the ne, unaware that the two flight attendants were singing
her praises.
Indeed, she had garnered envy from many others since her wedding. Those two flight attendants
weren’t the only ones.
During the hour-long flight, Sophia slept like a baby. Her peaceful slumber was interrupted by the
announcement of the ne’s impendingnding.
When she awoke, she found herself sleeping with her head tilted askew,fortably nestled against
Alexander’s body. Still slightly disoriented upon waking up, she blinked and looked at Alexander in a
daze. “Have we arrived?”
The man gently caressed her face. “We’ve just arrived.”
Sophia’s nket slid down as she rubbed her eyes, and Alexander helped her pull it back up. After a
moment, her mind finally processed Alexander’s words, and she gave a dyed response. “Are we
landing now?”
“Yeah. Are you still tired?”
She shook her head and yawned. “Nope. I’m just hungry.”
Sophia hadn’t eaten much for breakfast that morning. It was only natural that she felt hungry since it
was almost noon.
Ever since she got pregnant, she had established a routine. She would have breakfast around eight,
followed by some fruits at ten, and then lunch by noon.
As soon as she mentioned her hunger, a small cake appeared before her, much to her surprise.
Alexander handed it to her and said, “Eat this first.”
“Where did the cakee from?” Sophia asked in surprise.
Although they were seated in first ss, there was no mention of a cake being prepared for them.
Moreover, this cake was from a popr bakery in Jadeborough, where people often queued for hours
to buy it.
He opened the packaging and replied, “I asked Mr. Lane to prepare it before we boarded.”
It suddenly urred to Sophia that before they left, Alexander had called Felix and asked him to buy
something. However, she was preupied with checking their luggage, so she hadn’t paid much
attention to the conversation and was unaware of what was being arranged.
Sophia took the cake from Alexander with a yful smile and gestured with her finger. “Mr. Xenos.”
“Hmm?” Alexander gazed at her but didn’t move.
“Come over here,” she said with a smile, her eyes glistening and appearing moist since she had just
woken up.
Alexander finally leaned over after gazing at her for a few seconds.
The next second, something soft pressed up against his cheek. Granting him a kiss, Sophia said,
“Consider this your reward, Mr. Xenos.”
Touching the cheek she had just kissed, he blinked, an affectionate look surfacing in his dark ebony
eyes.
He watched her enjoy the cake and grabbed a thermos, twisting the cap open before handing it to her.
Sophia had almost finished the cake when the ne safelynded. She unbuckled her seatbelt, and
Alexander was already on his feet, reaching out to hold her hand.
The passengers in economy ss were already crowding near the cabin door. Alexander pulled Sophia
closer, ensuring no one would identally bump into her.
As soon as they stepped out of the ne, Sophia felt the chilly air of the capital enveloping her. The
fine snowkes were gently falling, but fortunately, the snow wasn’t heavy enough to cause flight
dys.
The person arranged by Felix to pick them up approached them once they stepped out of the airport.
“Greetings, Mr. and Mrs. Xenos.”
Felix had been handling Odyssey’s affairs in Jadeborough and had been extremely busy for the past
six months after Alexander ced the responsibility on his shoulders.
Alexander casually swept his gaze across the man before nodding and guiding Sophia toward the
parked car. He opened the car door and ced his hand near the roof to shield her head, allowing her
to get in.
“Drive slowly.” Alexander suddenly spoke up, surprising Wesley Ford, the manager seated in the
passenger seat. In response, Wesley quickly instructed the driver, “It’s snowing today, so drive
cautiously.”
Being someone capable of attaining a managerial position, Wesley was naturally adept at deciphering
people’s expressions. Even though Sophia’s pregnancy hadn’t been publicly announced, it wasn’t
something that could remain hidden.
He could easily tell the woman was pregnant upon noticing how protective and cautious Alexander was
around her.
It was widely known that Sophia held the utmost importance to Alexander, and any harm befalling her
would spell trouble for them all.
The car gradually reduced its speed, bing much more stable.
As Sophia gazed out the window at the falling snow, she reached out to hold Alexander’s hand. “Are
we staying here for the night?”
Her hair was messed up by the wind just now, and Alexander tucked a few stray strands of it behind
her ear and replied, “Yes. We’ll spend the night here and take the afternoon flight to Corleon tomorrow.”
She’s right by my side anyway, so the length of our stay doesn’t really matter.
Sophia pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.
After spending the night in the capital, they boarded the flight to Corleon the next day. The thirteen-hour
journey left Sophia feeling stiff and sore upon disembarking from the ne.
Though she managed to eat and sleep well during the flight, the limited space made it somewhat
ufortable for Sophia, who was pregnant, to sit for a prolonged time.
Felix had made arrangements for someone to pick them up at the airport. As they exited, a person
approached them and inquired if they were Mr. and Mrs. Xenos.
Subsequently, they were escorted to a hotel. Throughout the journey, Sophia couldn’t stop yawning.
Hence, Alexander decided to have lunch delivered to the hotel room. Instead of heading to the
company, he stayed in the room to keep herpany.
Following lunch, Sophia settled on the sofa to watch a movie. However, the jetg soon made her feel
drowsy again, and she dozed off.
When she eventually woke, it was alreadyte in the day. Alexander stood by the floor-to-ceiling
window, deeply engrossed in a phone call.
