It hasn't been a bed of roses but they seem to be in a better place now. They discovered that most of the problems they do have are always due to communication and they have decided to work on that aspect of their relationship.

The Adopted Heir Chapter 106
Alex can be seen in the sitting room of his house. He was patiently waiting for his girlfriend to come back home. It was already late in the night and she was nowhere to be seen which got him so worried. He fished his phone out again and dialed her number for the umpteenth time but just like the other times, she did not pick up.Alex couldn't wait around any longer doing nothing. So many series of questions were flowing through his mind. What if she was kidnapped? What if she was robbed and had no other means of getting back home? What if she broke down due to the stress of planning his birthday party? Well, his birthday is finally here, it's in a few hours but he wasn't looking forward to it if his girlfriend seems to be missing on his 30th birthday eve.With his mind running a mile per the seconds that ticked by, he swiftly stood up and went back to his room. He didn't even bother changing into a more presentable cloth before picking up his car key and storming out of the bedroom. H

Alex entered his office to meet another surprise. His office staff bought him gifts. They were neatly arranged on his working table. His heart couldn't help but melt once again in the space of a few hours. He thanked every one of them for honouring him in such a manner and pleaded with them to help him take all the gifts to his car so that he could have some space to work. He was happy, but his happiness isn't complete yet until one person does the needful.Alex spent most of the day at the office expecting Sophia's call or birthday text message or even showing up at the office, but none of that happened. This brought down his mood to a minimum. He kept trying in his head to decipher what he may have done wrong to deserve such nonchalant behaviour from his girlfriend. Every time he thought of what could make her behave in such a manner, he came up with nothing to buttress the reason for the change in her attitude.Alex was still buried inside his own head when a text notification from

Alex was startled at first because he wasn't expecting anyone to be around not to talk of it being in his room. Alex held his chest, “you didn't have to scare me like that.”Sophia saunters her way to where Alex is still standing at the doorway. When she got to where he had been standing for the past few minutes, she pulled him into a heartfelt hug. She inhaled his unique scent which always works like an aphrodisiac in her body.“I'm so sorry for behaving like a b*tch all this while. I just had to act that way for you to think that I didn't care. That was the only way I could have you on edge for what I've prepared for tonight. But before that, we have a reservation to meet up with in the next few minutes.” Sophia's face was full of smiles. Behind that radiant smile of hers, she couldn't help but wish that she hadn't pushed him to his limit. She was there with Cynthia when Alex called her and she knows that he is very mad at her for neglecting him on his birthday.Alex stood still for

None of them said something to the other. Alex looked down at his girlfriend to find her snarling.“What's going on with you babe?” He asked. They still casually strolled their way insid

Everyone now turned to look at Jayden expecting him to say something. Well, Alex spoke at length on his behalf so they hoped that he had something tangible to say and not something that would tip them over the edge.“Um… thanks to you Alex for making it possible for me to talk to you guys. The past week has been the most difficult week of my life. Sophia ignored me and Cynthia avoided me. Well, I deserved every bit of it. I should have just spelt everything out from the beginning. Cynthia, I'm so sorry for doing what I did. Please may you find a place in your heart to forgive me? I want things to go back to the way they used to be– minus the sneaking around part of course. And to you Sophia, I'm sorry for not being mindful of Cynthia's feelings and thereby losing your trust. I won't do anything of that sort again.” Jayden bent his head solemnly. He just wanted this beefing to end already cos it was draining him a lot. He could barely get any work done during the week.“I want to get s
