Chapter 495 Long Time No See
After many days, seeing him again, although this face was very familiar, his eyes were so strange.
So strange that Sophia had the illusion that they had never met before.
Elodie ran to Sophia's side and hugged her neck.
She said excitedly, "Sophia, I haven't seen you for so many days, I missed you so much."
Sophia smiled and rubbed her head a few times, "It looks like you've been doing well, you seem to have gained a little weight, your cheeks are much rounder."
"Yes, ever since I went back, my two moms have been making different dishes for me every day, I've gained a lot of weight."
"You look better with a bit of weight, how's school?"
"Alexander took me to enroll yesterday, I can start classes next week, I'm so looking forward to it, Sophia, Alexander is over there, do you want to go say hi to him?"
Sophia smiled faintly, "No need, he doesn't remember me anyway."
"Sophia, I feel like Alexander has changed completely, he used to love playing and joking around, but now he's so silent, he hardly talks when he gets home, just goes to his study to work after dinner.
Although Alexander is no longer a doctor, he's busier now than when he was one, I'm really worried about him."
Hearing this, Sophia glanced in Alexander's direction.
Alexander was leaning against the car, smoking, looking lazy and desolate. He didn't look like the Alexander from before at all.
Feeling Sophia's gaze, Alexander's beautiful eyes looked over, but there was no emotion in his deep eyes.
Alexander just stared in this direction.
Sophia couldn't tell if he was looking at her or at Elodie.
Sophia faintly pulled her lips and looked at Elodie, "Elodie, Alexander is waiting for you, you should go, I have something to do later, I'll leave first."
Elodie hugged her tightly, "Sophia, I want you to make up with Alexander, I want you to be my sister-in-law, can you help him remember you, remember his friends.
He's too lonely, too desolate like this."
Seeing Elodie cry, Sophia rubbed her head, "Don't cry, you just had surgery, you can't be too sad, as for me and Alexander, don't worry about it, let's see what fate has in store."
"Sophia, I..."
Elodie wanted to say something, but suddenly Alexander's cold voice came from behind.
"Elodie, let's go."
Hearing Alexander call her, Elodie bit her lip and looked at Sophia with grievance.
"Sophia, I'll go first, I'll talk to you at the banquet later."
She immediately ran to Alexander's side.
Seeing the tear stains on Elodie's face, Alexander frowned, "Why are you crying again, didn't I tell you not to cry?"
Elodie pouted and looked at him, "Alex, do you really not remember Sophia? You used to like her a lot, before you lost your memory, you said you wouldn't be separated from her in this life or the next."
Hearing her words, Alexander's eyes darkened, "Did I really say such childish things?"
"Alex, it's not childish, it's true love, you liked Sophia so much back then, how could you forget her, you should get her back, I want her to be my sister-in-law."
Seeing her tears about to fall again, Alexander pinched her cheek, "No more crying, if you cry again, I won't take you out next time."
One sentence made Elodie not dare to speak again.
She knew that Alexander was different from before, his temper didn't seem as good as it used to be.
In front of him, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Elodie collected her emotions and walked into the banquet hall holding Alexander's arm.
As soon as they entered, they saw Sophia talking with Manuel.
The two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.
Sophia had a smile on her face.
Seeing this scene, Elodie glanced at Alexander.
"Alex, that person is called Manuel, he likes Sophia, if you don't act soon, Sophia will really be taken by someone else."
Alexander didn't say anything, just looked at Sophia, his arm around Elodie tightening significantly.
Until Elodie's voice came to his ear, "Alex, you're hurting me."
Only then did Alexander withdraw his gaze, looking down at Elodie, "Find a seat and stay there, don't run around."
Elodie nodded obediently, "Okay, Alex, you go do your thing."
After speaking, Elodie walked towards the dessert area.
This banquet was hosted by Sophia, and the attendees were either investors of this film or the main creators of this film.
Sophia greeted everyone with her team.
And Alexander was the biggest investor in this film.
To avoid awkwardness, Sophia had her agent Ava toast Alexander on her behalf.
Ava smiled and walked up to Alexander, respectfully offering him a glass of wine.
And said with a smile, "Mr. Cross, thank you for investing in our film, we will work hard to earn more money for you."
Alexander didn't take the wine from Ava's hand.
Alexander looked at her coldly, "Is it that I invested too little, or am I not worthy, that your boss can't come to speak to me herself?"
One sentence left Ava speechless.
Ava immediately smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cross, there are too many guests today, Ms. Sinclair is too busy."
Alexander didn't speak, his sharp eyes fixed on Sophia's direction.
Seeing things were not going well, Ava immediately said, "Mr. Cross, please wait a moment, I'll call Sophia over."
After speaking, Ava immediately walked to Sophia's side, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sophia, Mr. Cross wants to see you."
Sophia frowned, "What did he say?"
"He asked if he invested too little, or if he wasn't worthy, why you didn't toast him, you should go over, his eyes don't look right."
"I understand."
Sophia greeted a few more people in the circle, then walked over to Alexander with a glass of wine.
At this time, Alexander was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding an empty wine glass in a daze.
Sophia walked over and handed him a cocktail.
She said in a light voice, "Mr. Cross, try this, I invited a bartender from abroad, it tastes pretty good."
Alexander raised his eyes, looking coldly at Sophia.
His voice had no warmth, "Ms. Sinclair finally has time to entertain me?"
"Sorry, there were too many people just now, I forgot about you for a moment, I'll drink a glass as a penalty."
After speaking, Sophia raised her head and drank all the wine in the glass.
Alexander stared at Sophia without blinking, his deep eyes filled with unknown emotions.
A low, hoarse sound came from his throat, "I heard from Elodie that we used to be very close, Ms. Sinclair, can you tell me, how close were we?"
