There was another reason Alexander was in a hurry to return.
Sophia had never been in a romantic relationship before, and it was just an accident that she was
infatuated with Alexander. After falling for him at first sight, she pursued him like a moth to a flame.
While she took the initiative to marry Alexander back then and it made her look bold and passionate,
she was actually very reserved when expressing her feelings. That was why her three-year marriage
with Alexander didn't end well.
At that moment, she had gotten back to Alexander. While she was not afraid of what others thought of
her, she was still a little too shy to express her love for Alexander in private.
It was likely because Rachel taught her that women should be reserved in a relationship. Sophia might
be bold when courting someone, but she was still quite reserved when it came to expressing her
feelings.
Since a week ago, advertisements for services and gifts related to Valentine's Day had been posted
everywhere.
Sophia was a woman, so she enjoyed romantic moments too.
As much as she wanted to spend Valentine's Day with Alexander, she didn't make a request because
he was still overseas back then.
Yet, Alexander “just so happened” to return last night to make it for Valentine's Day.
Hence, when Alexander proposed to take her out for Valentine's Day, Sophia was overjoyed even if she
didn't show it on her face.
That year's Valentine's Day didn't fall on the weekend or during a short holiday, but Lovebirds Street
was still packed with people.
Most of the couples there were young, likely university students.
As the name suggests, Lovebirds Street was a street about lovers. The name originated from a
touching love story. A long time ago, a poor scholar living at the tail-end of the street fell in love with an
affluent lady at the other end of the street. While they lived fairly close, people cared about matching
family backgrounds for couples. Hence, the scholar promised the lady that he would return to marry her
after he achieved success.
After he toiled for an unknown amount of time, he finally accomplished his goal. Just as he returned to
his home to propose marriage to his dear lady, he learned that the lady's parents had already engaged
her to someone else six months ago. She was set to marry the son of a similarly wealthy family from
the neighboring county the next day.
It was a marriage arranged by her parents. Thus, the lady couldn't oppose it. It was too late for the
scholar to do anything when he returned. Therefore, on the day of her marriage, he could only follow
the people to see the bride off silently from the beginning of the street until the end. That was the last
time they ever met.
It wasn't a story with a happy ending, but it was how Lovebirds Street came to be. In modern times,
business people would the story to market their products. Shops filled both sides of the two-kilometer-
long street.
Since it was Valentine's Day, the shop owners used every trick in the book to make more money.
It wasn't the first time Sophia visited Lovebirds Street. During her university days, she would be
dragged there by Katherine to watch the latter spend Valentine's Day with Joshua. Katherine's reason
for doing so was that she wanted Sophia to be familiar with the place. That way, when Sophia visited
the street with her future boyfriend, she walked around the area easily.
Back then, Sophia didn't take Katherine's words to heart. She believed the latter was merely showing
off her romantic relationship.
However, Sophia was surprised to see that Katherine was right after so many years.
However, many of the shops on both sides of Lovebirds Street had changed owners. Some of these
shops were even renovated. For example, the escape room for couples that Katherine really liked had
been turned into a romantic theater.
Somehow, there were still many stores that sold snacks and coffee around.
Jadeborough's weather was scorching, and Sophia didn't want to be cooked by the sun. Thus, she
wore a short dress with a floral pattern and a pair of sandals. Unlike Alexander, who was still wearing a
suit, she didn't stand out compared to the other young girls there.
Both of them were tall, slender, and attractive. Hence, they drew quite a bit of attention.
The people who passed them by would reflexively glance at them a few more times than they should.
However, Sophia was used to it, so she didn't mind.
Not far ahead of her was a café that sold cute cotton candy in various shapes. The scene led Sophia
back to a flashback. Back when I was in primary school, Dad would buy cotton candy for me every
Friday. Cotton candies in the past weren't as creative as the ones we have nowadays. The only
difference between the cotton candies at my time was their color. Some were white, blue, red, and
even purple. I don't think I've eaten any cotton candy after what happened to Mom and Dad. Honestly, I
dislike cotton candies. However, whenever Dad bought me one, the satisfaction on his face would
always make it taste better. Besides, it was only once a week, so it wasn't that bad. After so many
years, the person who always bought cotton candy for me no longer exists in this world...
“What are you looking at?” Alexander couldn't help but ask when he noticed she looked distracted.
Upon following her line of sight, he detected a cotton candy machine at a café ahead of them. “Do you
want some?”
When Sophia returned to her senses, she glanced at Alexander and smiled. “Will you buy me one?”
This is the first time I've seen her asking something from me. Ah, looking at her smile always warms
my heart. Alexander nodded. “Of course.”
Even if the thing she wanted weren't cotton candy but the entire café, he would still buy it for her
without hesitation.
However, there were already a lot of people in the street, and there was even a long queue to buy the
cotton candy at the café.
Alexander couldn't bear to let Sophia stand while waiting, so he led her into another café. “Wait here for
me. I'll buy it for you.”
“All right.” Sophia didn't stop him because she could see he was delighted to do it for her.
The other café was across the street, so both could spot each other at a glance.
As Sophia stared at Alexander, she thought, I must say, Alexander has picked a nice table.
It was Valentine's Day, and Lovebirds Street was full of couples, so even the usually empty café was
flooded with people.
Sophia felt a little embarrassed to wait at a table for four, so she ordered a slice of cake and a cup of
coffee.
As there were air conditioners in the café, and the weather was blazing, many people entered the cafe
to stop for a drink.
When no empty seats were left, people started sharing tables with strangers.
After a while, a couple asked Sophia if they could share tables with her. In response, she smiled and
pulled her cake closer to her. “Go ahead. It's fine.”
Peering at Sophia's gorgeous face, the young lady suddenly found her boyfriend less interesting. “Are
you waiting for your boyfriend, miss?” I bet her boyfriend is as attractive as her.
Sophia nodded with a silent grin.
