Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 513

Given how Perrin and Kylie couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful the sunset at Quantus Mountain was, it wouldn't be an overstatement to say that it lived up to its reputation. Perrin even had Sophia record a video of him so he could send it to the chat group with his old comrades.

Kylie said she would come here with Kasper after his retirement to watch the sunset again.

The group then headed back down the mountain after enjoying a beautiful sunset. The sky was already dark by the time they got to the bottom.

It was half past seven when they returned to the city. Sophia brought them to a restaurant that she had contacted on the way down the mountain to make a reservation.

The food was served shortly after the three of them took their seats.

It was pretty late at night when they finished their meal. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Since both Perrin and Kylie were fairly advanced in age, and Sophia did not have any other plans for the evening, they decided to head home and get some rest.

Heath, who happened to be dining at the same restaurant, did not expect to run into Sophia here as well. He had been with many women in the past, but none of them could be compared to Sophia in terms of appearance.

Being thirty years old, Heath could no longer afford to just hit on every woman he took a liking to.

The Barker family would not allow him to continue fooling around any longer.

Although Yulisa wasn't exactly his type, she would make a decent wife due to her family background and upbringing.

However, Heath didn't expect to meet the woman he just saw an hour ago at the mountain again. That led him to believe it was fate. Snuffing out his cigarette, he decided to go after Sophia.

Yulisa had just returned from taking a phone call when she saw that Heath was no longer at the table.

After glancing about, she saw that Heath had already stepped out of the restaurant.

“Wait for me, Heath!” Yulisa shouted while running after him.

Heath had already gotten into his car when he heard her voice. He simply turned around and glanced at her before closing the car door and speeding off without any hesitation whatsoever.

Yulisa had liked him for over ten years and clung to him since high school. She refused to move on even though Heath had dated tons of girls throughout those years.

Sometimes, Heath even questioned if he was really all that great. He couldn't understand why Yulisa would continue to crush on him for so long.

Relationships were strange and inexplicable. He used to treat Yulisa like a younger sister when they were younger. After she confessed her feelings for him, however, Heath stopped liking her even as a sister.

While he didn't exactly hate her, he did find her behavior somewhat annoying.

Heath didn't even want to go out with Yulisa that day, but the latter called up her brother, Emilio Saddler, for help. Emilio then forced Heath to go watch the sunset with Yulisa.

Unexpectedly, Heath found another woman to his liking during his outing with Yulisa, and he felt glad that he had gone to watch the sunset with her. She can only blame herself for forcing me to go to Quantus Mountain with her.

Little did Yulisa know, Heath was considering giving up on finding someone else and just settle for her. All she had to do to become his wife was behave herself and stop annoying him so much.

After running into Sophia a second time, however, Heath figured he was still young and decided to give it a shot.

Sophia instinctively tried to protect Perrin when their car got hit from behind, but Perrin was quicker and had already reached his arm out to shield her from the impact.

Sophia felt a warm sensation spread through her heart when she saw that.

Fortunately, the car behind them did not bump into them too hard. Sophia assumed the driver simply didn't hit the brakes in time.

A glance in the rearview mirror revealed that it was a Bentley that hit them. As the owner of the Bentley stepped out of the car, Sophia recognized him to be none other than the man she met atop the mountain.

Sophia arched her eyebrow in response and began to question if he had deliberately hit their car.

The driver, who got out of the car to speak to the man, returned shortly after and said, “Ms. Yarrow, the man says he would like to deal with you in person.”

“He's the one who bumped into us, so why should she have to go deal with him?” Perrin exclaimed in displeasure.

Kylie's car was right in front of theirs at the time, so she knew something was up when she saw them stop in the middle of the road. She quickly pulled over to the side and came running over.

“What happened, Sophia? Did that car hit yours? Are you two all right?”

Sophia helped Perrin steady himself before nodding in response. “We're fine, Aunt Kylie. Don't worry about us.”

She then glanced at the man, who was waiting by the roadside, as she continued, “Granddad, why don't you and Aunt Kylie head on home? I'll stay here and wait for the traffic police to come and resolve this.”

“John can stay here instead!” Perrin protested, reluctant to let Sophia stay.

“I'll be fine, Granddad. I'm just going to deal with him really quickly, so you two can head on back now,” Sophia replied.

Seeing as Sophia was adamant about handling this herself, Perrin had no choice but to give in. “Be careful, then. Let the traffic police take over if that guy tries anything funny.”

Perrin then turned toward John and continued, “John, you stay here with her.”

Sophia did not object to that arrangement. “Aunt Kylie, you and Granddad should get going now.”

Kylie figured something was probably up, so she simply nodded and said, “All right; try not to stay out too late.”

“Got it.”

Sophia waited for Kylie and Perrin to be out of sight before walking up to the Bentley.

“If I recall correctly, you rear-ended our car while we were driving safely in our lane. The car in front of us stopped because of the red light, so we stopped as well.”

Heath stared at her for a few seconds before letting out a nonchalant chuckle. “Hi, my name is Heath Barker. What's your name?”

He paused briefly and gave it some thought before continuing, “I heard your elders calling you 'Sophia' earlier. Is that your name?”

Having dealt with tons of men who tried to flirt with her, Sophia flashed him a faint smile as she replied, “Let us settle this privately, Mr. Barker. We will not take legal action against you this time, but please be more careful on the road. After all, not everyone out there is as forgiving as I am.”

Sophia had on very light makeup that day, so Heath could clearly see her facial features under the dim lighting of the street lamps.

She has got pretty eyes, but they look a little cold. Tsk... She's a thorny rose, huh?

“I always listen to my girlfriend, so I will do as you say, Ms. Yarrow,” Heath said.

Sophia had seen shameless men, but none of them were as shameless as Heath.

Playboys like these will only get even more smug if you keep talking back to them.

With that in mind, Sophia stopped smiling and flashed him an icy-cold glare before walking off.

John quickly followed behind her and returned to the car with her.

There was a look of excitement in Heath's eyes as he watched them leave.

“Mr. Zinn, I would prefer if the conversation earlier does not reach Granddad's ears,” Sophia said.

John let out an awkward chuckle when Sophia saw through his intentions. “Understood, Ms. Yarrow.”

Wearing a half-smile, Sophia glanced at John's eyes in the rearview mirror. “I'm sure you wouldn't want to upset Granddad either, right, Mr. Zinn? We all want the best for him, so it is sometimes necessary to tell a lie out of kindness.”

John was surprised that Sophia could tell his response was half-hearted. After hearing what she said, John decided to keep his mouth shut about Sophia's encounter. “You're absolutely right, Ms. Yarrow.” Sophia nodded in satisfaction. “Please continue driving, then.”
