Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209
Alexander Sumrs is here to pick up Purple Sumrs.
He didn’t recognize Maeve at first, after all, it had been almost ten years since they last t, and for a woman, a decade can bring imnse changes.
Alexander’s impression of Maeve was still of heavy glasses, a bulky long sweater, and so cute little freckles.
Yet the woman in front of him now was mature, intellectual, elegant, and poised, wearing appropriate attire and without those little freckles.
Forgive Alexander for his face blindness, he really couldn’t connect the woman before him with the little Maeve in his mory.
Purple Sumrs introduced, “This is my husband, Alexander Sumrs.”
Then she introduced Maeve, “This is Ms. Maeve, the lawyer responsible for this case.”
The confusion in Alexander’s eyes subsided, as if he just realized who the woman in front of him was.
Purple Sumrs thought she would witness a dramatic recognition scene, but the adult world is restrained.
Maeve quickly adjusted her mood, shook hands with Alexander amicably, and smiled lightly, “It’s been a long ti. No wonder there hasn’t been any news these years, you changed your na.”
A few brief words revealed a lot of information.
First, when Maeve knew Alexander Sumrs, she didn’t know his second identity.
Second, the lack of news these years indicated that Maeve had tried to contact Alexander before.
Third, if the relationship between a man and a woman is ordinary, there’s no need to go to such lengths to stay in contact after going abroad.
The two had just shaken hands; Purple Sumrs already ntally played out a whole drama.
Alexander’s response was also very bland; he smiled and said, “You’ve changed a lot, sorry I didn’t recognize you just now.”
“Well, you must rember well now,” Maeve said half-jokingly, “please make sure to forget my original goofy image.”
…Goofy?
Was that her old nickna?
Purple Sumrs thought, given Alexander’s sharp tongue, it was not surprising for him to give a girl such a lousy nickna, especially since he was only about sixteen or seventeen when he went to France. With teenage hormones running rampant, who knows what might happen…
Will they reminisce about those youthful days next?
Alexander held Purple Sumrs by the shoulder and said, “Let’s talk another day, the kids at ho are making a fuss, crying for mom.”
Purple Sumrs felt a little more comfortable.
Maeve politely smiled and nodded.
After saying goodbye, Purple Sumrs and Alexander sat in the car.
She watched the gradually shrinking figure from the rearview mirror, thinking: poised yet independent and strong, with ideals and ambitions, truly a good woman.
“Why did you call her goofy before?” Purple Sumrs asked the man beside her.
Alexander leaned back lazily, closed his eyes, and answered, “It was ten years ago, how could I rember…”
“I think she rembers you quite well,” Purple Sumrs said, slightly sour.
Alexander laughed, opened his eyes, “Jealous?”
Purple Sumrs snorted, “Not really.”
It’s just she minded a bit, because in Alexander’s past there wasn’t her, but another woman’s shadow, even if Alexander never liked her, it didn’t stop her from being involved in his life, leaving a mark.
Purple Sumrs thought again, when Alexander ntioned the kids making a fuss, Maeve’s smile was actually a bit stiff.
Although very subtle, Purple Sumrs noticed it.
Normally she wouldn’t observe so keenly, but today eting a potential rival, naturally she paid more attention.
At this mont, the car slowed down, it was a bit crowded ahead, with so people holding signs and banners crowded around.
The sunlight was too glaring, Purple Sumrs felt it harsh on her eyes, didn’t look closely, just asked, “What’s going on?”
“Seems like conservatives are building montum, it should be more lively on the official court session day.” Alexander withdrew his gaze and looked at Purple Sumrs, “You are getting so close to Camilla Farrell, are you planning to join her won’s rights camp?”
Purple Sumrs frowned, feeling the term from Alexander’s mouth carried a sowhat frivolous tone.
“This case has nothing to do with won’s rights, what I’ve been striving for is human rights.”
