The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154

Sophie’s pov

“Guests?” Aiden asked tightly, his jaw popping.

Sergio suddenly rises to his feet, looking over at where Margo disappeared off to.

“Yes guests. Did I not mention it yesterday?” Sergio chuckled while fixing his tie and tilted his head. “Forgive me grandson, must have slipped my mind.” He apologized.

It was very evident that Sergio was not sorry at all and that he had planned to surprise Aiden and me.

I can feel the knots in my belly worsen.

“What guests Sergio? Who have you invited?” Aiden asked, his face mirroring the vexation he currently felt.

Sergio face showcased a smirk that didn’t sit well with me. But instead of answering Aiden’s question, he only pushed out his hand and pointed at Margo who was coming back over here.

But behind her is a familiar man, tall and brooding. When he nears and shifts slightly is when I realize Lillian Muralo is a couple feet away from the tall brooding man.

“Aiden?” I voiced out in confusion, my hand gripping his.

“We can leave-

“Now now Aiden, that would be rude to our guests. Christopher hasn’t seen you in a while. And Lillian just got

here, stay a few and let’s catch up. Besides, don’t forget what we discussed yesterday.” Sergio snorted, walking over to Lil- lian and Christopher Muralo.

Í looked over at Aiden, confused more than ever. “What you two discussed?”

Aiden shakes his head, squeezing my hand reassuringly. “It’s nothing, don’t worry.”

I was not reassured.

It was making more and more sense why Aiden had agreed to have lunch with Sergio.

Sergio had definitely baited him with something and I am

curious with what.

“Christopher and Lillian dear! You two made it.” Sergio chirped with a tone I did not think he had in him. It was far from the hostility he normally portrays.

Christopher grinned brightly as he shook hands with Ser- gio and patted his back. He then turned to face Aiden and I and I noted how Aiden stiffened.

“Xavier,” Christopher nod, losing the grin he once sported for Sergio.

“Muralo,” Aiden answered tightly and threw his arms over the back of my chair.

Christopher Muralo’s grey eyes swept to me and his brows knot as if trying to figure out who I am.

“I made chicken casserole and some stewed pork. I know you love chicken casserole Mr. Harrington,” Lillian said, push-

ing her hand forward to give Sergio the two trays she held in her hands.

Her chirpy sweet voice made me grit my teeth.

“Oh Lillian. You’re such a sweet girl. And please call me Sergio, you’re not a stranger.” Sergio answered, the crow lines by his eyes deepening and now more visible as he smiles at Lillian brightly.

Sergio motions for Margo to take the two trays from Lil- lian as he chuckled. “A girl who cooks. You’d make a perfect housewife. Who wouldn’t want to come home to a girl like you?”

Irritation and anger boiled in my veins as Sergio’s words slapped me across my face.
