Chapter 630 Amusing News
Sophia woke up quitete the next morning. Through the gap of the curtains, sunlight seeped into the
room.
She was alone in the bedroom; Alexander had left for thepany.
Reaching for her phone, she saw a text message from him five minutes ago, asking if she was awake.
After responding to the text, she climbed out of bed and washed up.
Just when she finished moisturizing her face, breakfast was brought over to her.
Alexander came back at past four in the afternoon. He exuded a cold aura, annoyance visible in his
expression.
When Sophia stretched her arms toward him, he picked her up. Gaze softening, he gave her lips a
peck and asked, “Mrs. Xenos, is there anywhere you’d like to go?”
Sophia arched her brow and gave it a thought. “I’ll pass. It’s a hassle to go out in such cold weather.”
It had been snowing in the capital since the other day, and the sight of the fluttering snow outside
discouraged Sophia from going out.
Just the thought of theyers of clothes she had to wear made her head ache.
“Okay. Let’s go home tomorrow, then,” said Alexander while nodding.
Sophia nced at him. “So soon? Have you resolved the issue here?”
“Yes.”
Alexander was never a patient man, so he couldn’t bother to waste his time on someone as audacious
as Wesley. After the meeting earlier that day, the police arrived at thepany and arrested Wesley.
Wesley had looked totally clueless, wondering if he was being arrested merely because of the incident
the previous night.
While he yelled that there must be a misunderstanding, Alexander threw the documents with the
information Felix had found at his face. Upon seeing the contents, Wesley turned pale.
Before the employees in thepany could figure out what was going on, Alexander had acted swiftly
and promoted the newly transferred employee to Wesley’s position.
In just two hours, Alexander settled the issue.
“You fired him just like that?” Sophia asked.
Shaking his head, Alexander led her to the couch and sat her down. While pouring her a ss of water,
he exined, “No, I reported him to the police. He was taken away after the meeting.”
Sophia was surprised to hear that. “I guess he wasn’t even aware that he was already under
investigation, huh?”
Alexander brushed away the stray hairs on her forehead. “Don’t mind him. The police will handle the
rest.”
Wesley would never be able to get out of prison for embezzling such an astronomical amount of
money.
Since Alexander didn’t want to speak more of it, Sophia stopped probing and took a sip of the warm
water.
Alexander nced at his phone and mentioned, “Our flight is at ten in the morning tomorrow.”
“All right.”
He stared at her for a while, then asked again, “You really don’t want to go out for a walk? The winter
scenery here is really nice.”
“No, it’s cold. I don’t want to go out.” Sophia leaned into his armsnguidly, looking like azy cat.
Alexander felt his heart melt at her adorable appearance, and he couldn’t resist caressing her face. “I’ll
apany you when you feel likeing here again.”
“Sure.”
Sophia then began scrolling through a menu on her phone to order lunch.
After eating, they strolled around the hotel before returning to their room and putting on a movie.
Halfway through it, Sophia fell asleep.
Although Alexander didn’t have the habit of taking afternoon naps, he eventually dozed off while
watching her.
It was easy to pass time with one’s beloved; all they needed was each other’spany.
The day flew by in the blink of an eye. Since their flight was in the morning, Sophia went to bed early.
They woke up at past seven the next morning. Sophia didn’t bring many things, so they soon finished
packing.
The driver had been waiting for them downstairs. Having eaten too much for breakfast, Sophia felt a bit
bloated.
When they got into the car, Alexander took off her gloves and warmed her hands in his. “Feeling
stuffed?”
“A bit,” Sophia said, leaning into him.
A rare smile graced Alexander’s face. He ced his hand on her tummy, stroking it gently.
Feeling cozy, Sophia snuggled into him further.
They arrived at Jadeborough at noontime, where Felix had personallye to fetch them. “Mr. Xenos,
Mrs. Xenos.”
“Mr. Lane, thank you for picking us up,” Sophia said.
“It’s my pleasure, Mrs. Xenos.”
When Felix pulled the door open, Alexander ced his hand above Sophia’s head to shield it as he
helped her into the car.
As the car began cruising, Felix inquired, “Mr. Xenos, did you arrange for someone else to go there?”

He had heard of the incident from the day before. It hadn’t been long since Malcolm Quillen, Wesley’s
sessor, was transferred there. Although he was capable of undertaking Wesley’s role, they still
needed someone to take on Malcolm’s previous position.
However, Alexander had his own organized ways of doing things. He might have already put everything
in order while he was there.
Being a meticulous man, Felix simply asked to be sure.
“Yeah, send another person there. When you have the time, you should head there to clean things up,”
Alexander said.
With the passage of time, Fortuna’s rtionships with its business partners had be quite
complicated. He had tried to sort them out yesterday, but it was a pain in the neck.
“All right.”
He stared at her for a while, then asked again, “You really don’t want to go out for a walk? The winter
scenery here is really nice.”
Some of the local tycoons there wouldn’t even listen to Alexander. While they appeared to be polite,
they were unyielding and adamant about getting their way.

After giving Felix the instruction, Alexander gently tightened his grip on Sophia’s hand.
Sophia was looking at her phone when a news headline caught her attention. She raised her eyebrow,
then smirked and handed her phone to Alexander. “This is quite amusing.”
Tilting his head, Alexander scanned through the text. “If you’re not happy about it, I’ll ask Mr. Lane to
handle it,” he said calmly.
The article talked about what had transpired the other night, subtly mocking Sophia for being too fussy
and Alexander for condoning her.
Sophiaughed nonchntly. “I’m fine with it. If they like to talk about it, just let them be.”
“All right. We’ll do as you say,” Alexander agreed dotingly.
They went home after having lunch, but Alexander soon left the house to attend to something.
When he returned again, Sophia was asleep. After she became pregnant, she acquired the habit of
taking afternoon naps, which usuallysted for more than an hour.
It was already past two when they came home earlier. After loading their clothes from the trip into the
washing machine, Sophia went to bed.
Now, at five in the afternoon, the sky had begun to darken as it was winter.
Alexander removed his tie and touched Sophia’s face.
She was so deep asleep that she didn’t even stir despite his action.
A soft smile spread across Alexander’s face, and he leaned down to kiss her softly. Then, he headed to
theundry room and took out the clothes from the washing machine, bringing them to the balcony.
Inside the room, Sophia opened her eyes when she heard the noise outside. She immediately figured
out that Alexander might be back already. Stretching her body, she then put on the coat ced at the
side and got off the bed to look for him.
When she reached the hall, she saw Alexander in his white sweater, standing on the balcony and
hanging up the clothes in an organized manner.
There were several balconies in the house; the master bedroom alone had two.
As Sophia found it a trouble to go outside, she usually did theundry in the master bedroom and hung
them on the balcony connected to the room. This made collecting the clothes easier as well.
The clotheslines were four meters above the ground, so Alexander needed a clothesline pole despite
his tall height.
As if sensing her gaze, he turned around. At the sight of Sophia, he furrowed his brows slightly and
said, “It’s cold. Go back in.”
