After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife - Chapter 175
#174 “Surprised to See Me, Son?”
Evelyn looked at Alexander in confusion. She had just arrived at Sophia’s apartment to check the watch box, as she had been
asked, and encountering Alexander there was unexpected.
“Sophia is in her grandfather’s old house,” Evelyn informed him. “Didn’t you know?”
“Of course | know,” Alexander replied cheekily. “What are you doing here?”novelbin
“Sophia contacted me to check on something in her apartment,” Evelyn explained.
“So she’s answering your calls,” Alexander retorted sharply.
“| don’t understand what’s going on,” Evelyn admitted, her brow furrowing with concern.
“Since she left, Sophia hasn’t called me once,” Alexander remarked, frustration evident in his voice.
“She must be busy, Alexander,” Evelyn countered gently. “Trust her a little.”
“| trust her, but | don’t trust Benjamin.
As their conversation lingered in the air, Alexander’s agitation seemed to grow, fueled by his lingering suspicions and the
frustration of not being able to reach Sophia.
“| just have a bad feeling about this whole situation,” Alexander muttered, his tone tinged with concern.
Evelyn regarded him with a sympathetic expression, understanding the turmoil he must be experiencing. “I know you care about
Sophia deeply, Alexander. But sometimes, we have to trust that the people we love know what’s best for them.”
“| know, but…” Alexander trailed off, unable to articulate the swirl of emotions churning within him.
Evelyn placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. “Sophia will come around, Alexander. Give her time.”
Despite her reassurances, Alexander couldn’t shake the sense of unease that gnawed at him. He felt powerless, trapped in a
web of uncertainty and doubt.
“Thank you, Evelyn,” Alexander said quietly. “I appreciate your support.”
Evelyn offered him a reassuring smile. As Alexander turned to leave, Evelyn continued her search for the watch box, determined
to fulfill Sophia’s request. After a thorough examination of the apartment, she finally spotted the box tucked away in a corner.
With a sense of accomplishment, Evelyn carefully retrieved the box and began to examine its contents. As she sifted through the
items inside, her eyes widened in surprise when she discovered a small key nestled among the trinkets.
Excited by her discovery, Evelyn reached for her phone to call Sophia and share the news. However, to her dismay, Sophia didn’t
pick up despite several attempts.
Perplexed by Sophia’s lack of response, Evelyn decided to contact Benjamin, hoping he might have better luck reaching her. As
Evelyn’s call connected, Benjamin’s voice greeted her almost instantly, his eagerness evident in his tone.
“| found a key in the watch case,” Evelyn exclaimed, her excitement palpable through the phone.
“That’s fantastic news!” Benjamin exclaimed, a smile evident in his voice. “I’m putting you on speaker so Sophia can hear you.”
Sophia’s voice chimed in, her tone warm and relieved. “Hello, Evelyn,” she greeted her friend.
Evelyn wasted no time in relaying her discovery. “I found the key. Now what do | do?” she asked, her voice filled with anticipation.
“Please send it to me by express mail,” Sophia instructed, her tone decisive.
“Of course,” Evelyn agreed readily. Sophia, why don’t you answer your phone, | called you several times,” she added, curiosity
laced in her voice.
Sophia hesitated for a moment before admitting, “I lost my phone.”
Evelyn couldn’t help but laugh at Sophia’s admission, a hint of amusement coloring her voice. “You never lose a case, but when
it comes to the phone,” she teased gently.
The playful banter elicited laughter from everyone on the call, a moment of levity amidst the excitement of their discovery.
“Okay, Sophia, I’m sending you the key right now,” Evelyn promised.
With a sense of relief and anticipation, Sophia and Benjamin awaited the arrival of the key, hopeful that it would unlock the
secrets hidden within the safe.
