After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#124 “How about Extending Your Stay A Bit?”
Once the helicopter touched down on a secluded spot near the edge of the Grand Canyon, Sandro revealed a surprise that left
Sophia and Evelyn utterly captivated. Before them lay a table adorned with an array of delectable dishes, surrounded by the
breathtaking panorama of the majestic Canyon. It was an unexpected feast for the senses, and the girls couldn’t help but marvel
at the sheer extravagance of the setting.
Sandro, with a playful glint in his eyes, gestured toward the table. “Ladies, welcome to our exclusive Grand Canyon dining
experience! Quite the view, isn’t it?”
Sophia and Evelyn were still in awe of the natural wonder that stretched out before them. The table was set with elegant
simplicity, a stark contrast to the rugged beauty of the Canyon. A light breeze carried the scent of the surrounding desert, adding
a touch of wildness to the refined setup.
As they took their seats, Sandro, with a casual charm, began to regale them with tales of his and Kyle’s beginnings. “You see,
even though this might look a tad extravagant, Kyle and I didn’t exactly grow up with silver spoons. But hey, why not enjoy a little
luxury now and then, right?”
The trio laughed, their voices blending with the gentle rustle of the wind. Sandro poured glasses of chilled champagne, and the
effervescent bubbles mirrored the excitement that filled the air. The Canyon, with its towering cliffs and ever-changing hues,
provided a mesmerizing backdrop to their impromptu feast.
Sandro, now in the role of storyteller, leaned back, a twinkle in his eve. “So, let me take you back to the days when Kyle and I
were just troublemaking kids with big dreams and even bigger imaginations.”
Evelyn leaned in, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. “Oh, I can’t wait to hear this. What kind of trouble did you two get into?”
Sandro chuckled, a flood of memories washing over him. “Well, there was this one time we decided to be ‘ explorers’ and
ventured into the woods behind our neighborhood. We were convinced we’d discover hidden treasures or maybe even a secret
passage to another world.”
Sophia and Evelyn burst into laughter, envisioning the young Sandro and Kyle embarking on their grand expedition. The laughter
echoed against the canyon walls, creating a joyous symphony that blended with the natural melody of the wilderness.
“And what did you find?” Evelyn asked, eager for more.

Sandro smiled, savoring the nostalgia. ” As fate would have it, we stumbled upon an old beehive. Chaos ensued, of course. We
were running around, swatting at imaginary bees, and ended up falling into a mud puddle.”
The girls erupted into laughter again, picturing the chaotic scene of two young adventurers facing an unexpected swarm of bees.
Sandro’s animated storytelling brought the memories to life, making the distant past feel remarkably present.
As they savored the delicious meal against the backdrop of the Grand Canyon, Sandro continued weaving tales of their
childhood escapades. Each story carried a sense of innocence, a reminder of a time when life was simpler, and the world was a
vast playground filled with endless possibilities.
Evelyn, thoroughly entertained, couldn’t help but comment, “Sandro, you’ve got to write a book about these adventures. I’d read
it in a heartbeat.”
Sandro chuckled, toasting to the idea. ” Maybe one day, Evelyn. But for now, let’s enjoy this moment and the beauty that
surrounds us.”
“By the way, I have to take pictures for mom. She’s going to freak out at this sight,” Evelyn declared, jumping up from the table.
With her phone in hand, Evelyn wandered off to capture the breathtaking landscape, leaving Sandro and Sophia alone. The
warm sunlight cast a golden hue over the canyon, creating a serene atmosphere that seemed to envelop the small dining area.
Sandro leaned back. enioving the peaceful moment. “You know, I’ve always believed that pictures capture more than just an
image; they freeze a moment in time,” he remarked, his gaze following Evelyn’s silhouette against the majestic backdrop.
Sophia, lost in her thoughts, absentmindedly traced the rim of her champagne glass with her fingertips. Her phone buzzed again,
a persistent reminder of the outside world. Annoyed, she picked it up, only to find another notification about Alexander’s
impending wedding.
A surge of frustration washed over Sophia. “Can’t catch a break from this, “she muttered, turning off her phone and placing it on
the table.
Sandro, perceptive to the change in her mood, leaned forward. “Everything okay, Sophia?”
She sighed, irritation in her eyes. “Just some persistent notifications. Let’s focus on enjoying this incredible place, shall we?”
Sandro, attuned to the nuances of the moment, sensed there was more beneath the surface. He decided to address it directly,
his voice carrying a warm reassurance. “If there’s anything on your mind, Sophia, I’m here. We’re here to enjoy, but also to.

support each other.”
Sophia appreciated his sincerity, offering a small smile. “Thanks, Sandro. It’s just some personal stuff. I’ll deal with it later.”

Sandro decides not to press her any further and changes the subject.
“So, Sophia, how long do you plan to grace Vegas with your presence?”
Sandro inquired, the question laced with a playful undertone. Sophia responded with a shrug and a grin. “Well, that depends on
the whims of Evelyn and the wonders Vegas has to offer.”
Sandro, sensing an opportunity, threw a mischievous grin her way. “What if I sweeten the deal? How about extending your stay a
bit? You know, so we can explore more of the city and, of course, get to know each other better.”
“And where does this generous offer come from?” Sophia asks with a raised eyebrow.
“To be honest, I find you very attractive, Sophia, and I want to know more about you. And that’s why I hope you’ll stay here
longer so I can take you out to dinner.”
Sophia chuckles, appreciating his honesty. “Well, I’m flattered, Sandro. I appreciate everything you do for us, but to be
completely honest, I’m not looking for a relationship right now. I’m here for Evelyn and to take a break from work.”
“I understand, but if you think about it, my offer remains,” he says with a warm smile, leaving the door open for future
possibilities.
“Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.”
At this moment, Evelyn, ever the cheerful one, chimes in by showing her phone.
“These pictures are great, look,” she says, her eyes lit up with excitement as she scrolls through the photos she captured.
Sophia and Sandro join in her enthusiasm, sharing laughter over the candid moments and stunning views captured in the
pictures.
“Girls, I suggest we go; I have many more surprises,” Sandro offers, Sophia and Evelyn exchange eager glances, ready to
embrace the next set of surprises Sandro has in store for them.

Sandro, being the charismatic guide that he is, took Sophia and Evelyn on a whirlwind adventure through the dazzling streets of
Las Vegas. The trio ventured into unique and luxurious places, exploring hidden gems that most tourists might overlook.
Sandro’s stories about Kyle flowed throughout the day, weaving a narrative that painted a vivid picture of their shared past.
Whether it was the escapades of their youth or the humorous incidents in adulthood, each tale made Sophia and Evelyn laugh
from the heart.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow on the city, Sandro led them to a rooftop lounge with live music. The
captivating tunes and the glittering skyline created a perfect backdrop for reflections and gratitude.
Sophia and Evelyn, overwhelmed by the day’s experiences, found a moment to express their gratitude to Sandro. They thanked
him for not only showcasing the glamorous side of Vegas but also for revealing its hidden charm and personal stories. The day,
filled with laughter, surprises, and the warmth of newfound friendship, became a cherished memory for the trio.
Sandro, with a genuine smile, responded, “It was my pleasure, ladies. Vegas has a lot more to offer than meets the eye, and I’m
glad I could share a bit of its magic with you.”
