The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 121

Sophie pov

“What?” I asked shyly, as I looked at him beneath my lashes while forking through some scrambled

eggs.

Aiden’s staring at me with an awe look for five minutes straight already. Even Ash has been trying to

get his attention but to no avail.

Aiden’s eyes were practically glued on me.

“You’re so damn beautiful Sophie. How did I get this lucky?” He asked in a bit of a whisper, his head

tilting.

“Why did I wait this long?” He murmured shaking his head as if a bit flabbergasted that he waited this

long to tell me how he felt.

I tucked some hair behind my ears and looked at him a bit flustered. Okay a lot flustered. My cheeks

were so hot I could fry an egg on them.

I was exaggerating but don’t we all once in a while?

I’m about to answer him, probably make a fool out of myself when his phone rang.

I rose to my feet and walked over to him and Ash and pried Ash from his hands so Aiden would be able

to take the phone with no problem.

I kiss Ashton’s head and returned to my seat. Aiden answers the phone and talks roughly to whomever

was on the

receiving end.

I wince inwardly.

With how he treated me and Ash, especially me yesterday ar last night all to now, made me forget that

he was supposedly the blue eyed devil everyone feared.

I stared at him and tilted my head slightly as I pondered on my thoughts.

I wonder what made him turn out to be this way?

Yes he was always ruled by his emotions and was always one to get frustrated quickly but he was

never this bad before.

He almost seemed frustrated to be the Ceo.

I could not help but notice this the few days I got to work wit him.

Speaking about work…

Aiden ends the call and let out a frustrated breath, seeming t be peeved about something.

“About work?” I asked softly, wishing I could relieve some of that tension I could somehow sense

weighing down on his shoulders.

Aiden’s blue eyes lift to mine, I’m surprised they’re still warm yet, there’s a hint of irritation. But I know

that emotion was not for me, so I didn’t feel upset about it.

“Yes. I can’t catch a break.” He grumbles, pushing the phone back in his pocket and outstretched his

hands, silently telling

me to give Ashton back to him.

I have noticed something about Aiden recently, especially when it concerns Ashton, he never seems to

want to part ways. He always wants Ash close to him.

That was something I can’t help but fond over. It was adorable and such a trait anyone would want a

dad to have.

“What time do you leave for work? I’ll try to pack up Ash and I’s clothes quickly and you can drop us off

at the apartment on your way.” I said as I got up and gave Ash to him.

Ashton hugs his dad as if finally happy to be back in his arms. My eyes narrowed.

What a little traitor. I’m already replaced.

“No. I’m not going to the office today and you’re not either. We will spend the day together again.”

Aiden said and had my ears perking up and my mouth gaping.

“But don’t you need to be at Harrington.co today for that important meeting with the Xio’s?” I asked in

worry.

Missing such a meeting didn’t sound like a good idea.

Aiden’s brow lifted and his eyes twinkled with amusement. “Look who’s been doing her homework. I’m

impressed mama bear.” He joked, winking at the end of his teasing words.

I rolled my eyes, huffed and walked back to my seat. “Well my arrogant annoying boss made sure to

tell me to study every single thing on that paper and memorize it.”

Aiden laughs and winked. “Well then you didn’t disappoint.”

I rolled my eyes and then sighed. “I don’t think it would be a good idea to miss this meeting Aiden. We

can spend another day some other time.”

“I’m spending the day with my little family Sophie. You two come first. Always. I won’t change my mind

so drop it.” Aiden replied.

I let out a breath, knowing fully well that he meant every word and there was no possible way for me to

persuade him otherwise.

*Sergio’s pov*

“Come in,” I said as I drawled out a puff of smoke from the cigar and took a step back from the glass

wall and turned around when the door thrust open.

I stared at my professional personal private investigator.

It’s early in the morning, not even six thirty yet. He better have something good for me for coming at my

house so early.

My eyes fall to the file in his hand and approach him.

“Did you get what I asked for?” I asked and lift the cigar to my lips to draw another puff of smoke.

He nod, and outstretched his hand with the file. “There is everything you need to know about Sophie

Bell in this file.”

He said and gave me the said file.

I opened it while locking the the cigar between my teeth and

pried one of the papers. It was a birth certificate. Sophie Bell’s birth certificate.

I walked to the desk in my study and place the paper on the surface and shift through the others.

When I grasp the fourth paper, it wasn’t a paper. It was a photo.

A photo taken a few years ago.

I remember that day like it was yesterday. Such an embarrassment for the family. Aiden was lucky I

had saved him from such a fate.

I stared closely at the girl on the stand and I froze.

Now I know why she seemed so familiar…

Of course, why am I not surprised? Now a lot made sense, especially how old the child looked to be.

Sophie Bell was the one who caused Aiden to be sentence in jail at such a young age. She was the

one who caused everything.

And now she’s back in his life…

I clench the photo in my hand tightly until the blood drained from my fingers.

Why was she back?

Why was she here?

Did she come to ruin him more?

Did she come to destroy him and the company? NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

That girl was a walking karmic being who destroyed two teenage boys life.

Now she’s back in one of their lives, and nothing good will obviously come out of it.

That whore must’ve seen those tabloids about Aiden online, recognized him and came to New York to

get a piece of Harrington.co and tie Aiden down.

Or….

She came to finish the job and destroy his life for good.

“That’s the only photo we could get from that day or the accident in general. Your grandson was smart

enough to clear out the clutter quickly. But I was quicker.” Ned said.

I grit my teeth and barked. “Get me Rodrigo, I need him to call Aiden and get him to his office now!”
