Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Sophia's greeting was deliberate. It had been months since she and Alexander had gotten married, but

that was the first time she referred to him as her husband.

If not for Heath's overbearing demeanor, she would not have stooped to employ such a lowly tactic.

Despite having made things clear the last time at the hotel entrance, Heath still pretended not to

understand her.

Running into him again gave her a headache.

Alexander could get very jealous sometimes.

Though Sophia's smile remained after calling him her husband, she could feel her cheeks flush.

“Hubby” sounds very intimate.

Alexander did not expect to be addressed like that. He gazed down at her, his eyes containing a twinkle

of mischief. “Sure.”

As he responded, he looked up at Heath, and the warmth in his eyes disappeared. Only coldness

remained in the inky black depths of his eyes.

Heath looked up and met Alexander's gaze. Both men did not seem ready to back down.

Alexander retracted his gaze soon after. He took Sophia's hand and walked out the door.

As the pair disappeared into the distance, Shiloh whistled.

Sophia and Alexander left Mirage and headed to Bekka Mall. They arrived at past seven in the

evening, which was dinner time, so fewer patrons were in the stores, so they strolled around leisurely.

The retail assistants were stunned when the pair entered as such a handsome couple was a rare sight.

If not for the absence of a film crew behind them, the retail staff would have been under the impression

that the couple were stars of a television series.

Sophia did not know much about baby products, but World of Babies sold everything imaginable, from

baby formula and diapers for newborns to toys for toddlers.

As Sophia had plenty of money, she browsed every level from top to bottom and bought anything she

thought was cute or fun.

When she was about to pay for the items, the cashier suddenly asked, “How old is your child? Your

total bill is eligible for our gift policy. Here is a catalog of our recent promotions. Have a look and tell us

anything you might like, madam.”

Sophia raised her eyebrows as she took the catalog. “What should I take for a newborn baby?”

“Diapers or baby formula.”

Sophia glanced at Alexander and giggled. “Joshua acquired a baby product company last year when

he found out Katherine was pregnant, so I don't think they would need diapers. As for baby formula,

Joshua has already placed an order for custom formula, so our gift won't do them any good. What else

can we give them?”

Sophia was only speaking to Alexander. She did not mean anything else.

However, those words caused the cashier to gasp in admiration. She also thought the name

“Katherine” sounded familiar, but for the moment could not put a finger on it.

Alexander swept a glance over the catalog. “Let's take this one.”

Sophia knew Alexander just picked an item randomly, but it was a four-piece set for newborns.

Well, it's true that Lewinn doesn't need anything.

With a laugh, Sophia told the cashier, “We'll take this one.”

After paying the bill, the couple exited the store, laden with bags.

As she watched the couple disappear into the distance, the cashier finally recalled who Katherine was.

“I remember now! Katherine is the star of Escape! An A-list celebrity! Those two sounded like

Katherine's friends. I heard the beautiful woman say Katherine has given birth, and her husband

acquired a baby product company last year for their diaper needs!”

“A fairy tale romance, indeed! How envious!”

As the patrons had gone to dinner, there were no customers left in the store after Sophia and

Alexander left.

The cashier's coworkers added while laughing, “According to the tabloids, Katherine's husband was her

childhood sweetheart. If I'm not mistaken, that beautiful woman must be Katherine's best friend, Sophia

Yarrow. That makes her husband Alexander Xenos of Odyssey.”

“What a perfect match!”

“I know, right?”

Indeed, compatibility was a prerequisite of love. Sophia and Alexander were worthy of one another.

Sophia, on the other hand, did not know that her errand of buying Katherine a baby shower gift had

inadvertently leaked the news of her delivery, which spread like wildfire that very same night.

Naturally, as she had given birth in a private hospital, which cost hundreds of thousands, their privacy

policy was better than most other hospitals.

That was how everybody came to know that Katherine had delivered a baby, but not its gender.

However, Joshua's acquisition of a baby product company for the child's diaper usage was exposed.

Thus, the couple was trending.

Sophia and Alexander arrived back at their mansion. As it was not even nine, Sophia picked out a

movie and turned to Alexander. “Let's watch a movie.”

As always, Alexander obliged her. “Sure.”

Sophia beamed, then dragged him to the home theater on the second floor.

It would be a surprise to most to discover that Sophia enjoyed horror films.

That was not the first time Alexander watched a horror film with her. Nestled in his embrace, she

became deeply engrossed in the film. Alexander gazed down at Sophia, but he had no heart to distract

her despite the idea he had in mind.

Sophia had chosen The Shining, a classic horror film. It was thought-provoking, with a scary premise to

boot.

She was riveted. As Alexander did not speak for a while, Sophia thought he had fallen asleep, so she

gazed up at him.

As soon as she craned her neck, she found herself staring into his dark pupils.

“What is it?”

Sophia became distracted. She suddenly recalled calling him “Hubby” several hours ago.

She shook her head. “Are you not enjoying it?”

“I am. I'm watching.”

“Oh.”

Sophia turned back around after responding. Coincidentally, she was met with a gory scene.

She jumped violently. A second later, his hands were shielding her eyes.

His warm palm that was warm was pressed over her eyes. Sophia's heart gave a lurch. She pulled

Alexander's fingers away and nestled against his chest.

“Were you frightened?”

“A little.”

Alexander held Sophia's hand and gently pried her fingers apart one at a time, then interlaced their

fingers.

Then, he gave her hand a squeeze.

Sophia's attention was on the movie, and she did not notice it. When it was over, she gathered herself,

then ordered Genie to boil some water. Only after she turned around did she realize Alexander was

holding her hand tightly.

Sophia moved as she gazed at him and held up their hands. “Eh?”

Alexander did not address her query. “Could you call me what you did today again, Mrs. Xenos?”
