After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife - Chapter 188
#188 “You’re Joking, Right?”
The next morning, Sophia found herself torn between her desire to support Benjamin and her longing to spend time with
Alexander. As they gathered around the breakfast table, Sophia couldn’t help but notice the subtle tension between Alexander
and Benjamin, a tension that threatened to overshadow the morning’s meal.
Determined to diffuse the palpable atmosphere, Sophia made a conscious effort to divide her attention between the two men.
She found herself lingering near Benjamin, offering him a helping hand and ensuring that he had everything he needed for
breakfast. At the same time, she exchanged playful banter with Alexander, teasing him with a wink or a playful nudge whenever
the opportunity arose.
Despite his cheeky demeanor, Alexander couldn’t shake the sour mood that had settled over him like a dark cloud. He knew that
it was important for Sophia to be there for Benjamin, but he couldn’t help feeling a twinge of jealousy at the way she doted on
him.
Sophia, sensing Alexander’s discomfort, resolved to ease his worries by taking matters into her own hands. As the breakfast
dishes were cleared away, she busied herself around the house, rearranging furniture and organizing the space so that
everything was within arm’s reach of Benjamin.
Once she was satisfied with her efforts, Sophia gathered everyone’s attention, her eyes sparkling with excitement. ” Hey, guys,”
she announced, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I’ve got an announcement for you.”
Alexander raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Sophia’s sudden burst of energy. ” What’s the announcement?” he asked, his curiosity
piqued.
Sophia grinned, her excitement palpable. “I want to take you to my grandfather’s ranch,” she revealed, her voice tinged with
excitement. “It’s a beautiful place, and | thought it would be the perfect getaway for us.”
Alexander’s eyes widened in surprise, his mood instantly lifted by Sophia’s unexpected invitation. He had no idea that Sophia
had a ranch, but the thought of spending time with her in such a picturesque setting filled him with joy.
“Ah, what am | going to do?” Benjamin asked, attempting to stall Sophia’s departure.
“I’ve arranged the whole house to make you comfortable. If you need anything, just call me,” said Sophia, already grabbing her
jacket to leave.
Alexander was content with her response and planted a kiss on her cheek at the door. He grabbed his jacket but could hardly
contain his excitement to leave.
“Okay,” Benjamin reluctantly responded.
He knew he couldn’t prevent Sophia from leaving, so as he watched her walk away, he began to devise a plan in his mind to
bring her back as soon as possible.
Already in the car, Alexander grinned like a kid, and Sophia laughed at his expression.
“| didn’t know you had a ranch,” Alexander remarked as they drove off.
“It was my grandfather’s. After he passed away, | hired workers to maintain it. | know you don’t fancy such places…”
“Sophia, wherever you are, that’s where | want to be. And don’t forget, | haven’t had a silver spoon all my life-l can surprise you.”
The sun beat down on the sprawling ranch as Sophia and Alexander arrived, the air alive with the sounds of nature and the scent
of fresh hay. Eager to explore, they wasted no time in diving into the activities the farm had to offer.
Sophia’s eyes widened with excitement as she took in the vast expanse of the ranch, the golden fields stretching out before her
like a patchwork quilt of green and gold. “I love this place so much!” she exclaimed, turning to Alexander with a grin.
Alexander’s face lit up with a smile as he looked around, his eyes alight with the same sense of wonder. “I know, right? It’s like
something out of a movie,” he replied.
With eager hearts and a sense of adventure, they set off to explore the ranch, their laughter echoing through the fields as they
ran through the tall grass, their hands intertwined as they skipped and danced their way through the meadows.
As they wandered through the ranch, they stumbled upon a paddock filled with horses, their sleek coats gleaming in the sunlight.
Sophia’s eyes sparkled with delight as she gazed at the majestic creatures.
As Sophia and Alexander stood amidst the horses, Sophia’s eyes lit up as she gently began stroking the sleek coat of a majestic
black stallion. “I used to love riding when | was a kid,” she began, her voice filled with nostalgia. “I had a horse just like this one,
pure black as the night.”

Alexander was captivated by Sophia’s vivid imagination, his own eyes wide with wonder as he listened to her tales. “That sounds
incredible,” he remarked, his voice filled with admiration. “I never knew you had such a wild imagination.”
Sophia laughed, the sound light and melodic. “You have no idea,” she replied, her eyes sparkling with amusement,
“Let’s go for a ride,” Alexander suggested with a mischievous grin, his eyes glinting with excitement. “We might even find one of
the mythical creatures.”
Sophia couldn’t help but laugh at the suggestion, her expression incredulous. “You’re joking, right?” she replied, her tone teasing.
