Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 26
Perhaps the day had started too smooth. When Sophia arrived at the harbor, she bumped into two people she did not wish to see.
At least she did not feel like seeing Bethany and Thalia on such a good day.
That day, Sophia wore a champagne-colored maxi dress. While the hem of her dress flowed gracefully in the breeze, her long chestnut curly hair was ruffled by the wind, revealing her bright and beautiful face.
Even Thalia, who despised Sophia, was amazed and could not deny that the latter had a charming face.
Looking at Sophia walking in her direction, Thalia thought the former was there to plead with her. After all, she had hired someone to spread the photos of Sophia secretly dating another man before divorcing Alexander some time ago.
With that thought in mind, she subconsciously raised her head and arrogantly waited for Sophia to beg her.
However, Sophia passed by her at a close distance just like that. Momentarily stunned, Thalia quickly regained her senses and became infuriated.
She ran after Sophia, who went straight ahead without turning back. “Hey!”
Not getting any response, she was so angry that she stomped her feet. “Sophia Yarrow! Are you deaf?”
Only then did Sophia stop in her tracks and look back, sweeping her gaze across Bethany before landing it on Thalia. “Are you calling me?”
“Is someone else here other than you?”
Anger was bottling up inside Thalia's heart, almost choking her to death.
“But my name is not 'hey'.” Sophia raised her eyebrow. Then, she flashed Thalia a faint smile and continued, “How may I help you, Ms. Xenos?”
Stumped by her words, Thalia became even angrier. “What are you doing here? Are you here to take your own life?”
“This is the harbor. Bethany and I are here to go for a sail. Unless you're here for that, too, what are you doing here?”
Halfway through her sentence, Thalia suddenly thought of something, and her face fell. “Could it be that Charlize has invited you to go for a sail as well?”
Just then, the yacht manager approached them. “Ms. Yarrow.”
Finding it meaningless to continue the conversation with Thalia, Sophia said, “Excuse me, I have some matter to attend to. Do enjoy yourself out at the sea.”
The coldness and impatience in her eyes were very obvious when she spoke. As her words fell, she walked toward the man next to her. “Mr. Brown.”
The man, Xavier Brown, asked awkwardly, “Am I interrupting your conversation with your friends, Ms. Yarrow?”
“No. I don't know them.” Sophia tilted her head to look at Thalia and Bethany beside them.
Xavier heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that. “Come. Let me take you to Stella and show you around.”
Sophia nodded. “Sure.”
Thalia's face turned pale at Sophia's words. Gritting her teeth, she snorted, “I'd like to see who invited her to a sail!”
Coincidentally, Sophia's yacht docked right next to Thalia's.
Charlize Johnson was Charles' younger sister. She was not a close friend of Thalia, but they were in the same circle. When Thalia knew Charlize had borrowed Charles' yacht to go for a sail, she phoned Charlize to ask if Charlize could bring her along.
Since Thalia had asked her personally, Charlize thought she could not possibly reject the former.
There were quite a number of wealthy families in Jadeborough. Since the social circle was the same, everyone generally knew each other. As Thalia still could not find any familiar faces on the yacht beside them after staring at it for a long time, she asked, “Charlize, do you know who the owner of that yacht is?”
Charlize shook her head. “No, I don't.”
Then, she looked at the man sent by Charles behind her. “Hey, do you know who owns that yacht?”
“No. All I know is that it just arrived last night. I'm yet to find out who the owner is, though.”
Lifting her chin, Charlize looked at Thalia and queried, “Why? Did you see someone you know?”
“Of course not!” Thalia gritted her teeth and headed inside the yacht with Bethany.
Charlize pursed her lips upon seeing that. She had thought that Thalia would not need to tag along with her if Thalia met an acquaintance.
Inside the yacht, Bethany gazed at the yacht behind them through the window and went into deep thoughts.
Her eyes lit up when she heard Thalia complaining that Sophia could have hooked up with a tycoon. However, when she shifted her gaze to Thalia, she wore a suspicious expression. “I don't think Ms. Yarrow is such a person, Tally.”
Upon hearing that, Thalia, who had not gotten any response after talking for a long time, naturally spilled the beans and told Bethany everything. “Why not? Don't be deceived by her appearance, Bethany. In truth, she had never behaved herself over the three years she married into my family. I even took pictures of her secretly dating different men behind my brother's back.”
Bethany still pretended not to believe her words. “Maybe they're just friends?”
