The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 187

Lillian’s pov

I wait for Christopher to drive off before stepping out of the house.

It was late.

And probably way passed that old man’s bedtime. But I had a mission to accomplish.

And the mission was to get Aiden to marry me.

I got into my car and drove off.

Christopher didn’t need to know what I had planned, neither did dad.

I’ll tell them if everything goes as planned.

When I got to Sergio’s place, I pulled up beside the house. The guards stationed at the entrance let me in after a lot of begging on my part.

Apparently Sergio told them to let me in.

I sighed, pushing my hair behind my ears. I opened the compartment and took the small silver object.

Pressing my lips together, I push the

knife in my bag and got out of the car.

I knocked on the door and this time Sergio was the one who opened up for me and not his maid.

“Mr. Harrington.”

“What are you doing here so late Lillian? Does your brother know you’re here?” Sergio’s brows pinched as he let me in.

I shook my head and gave him a polite smile. “No. I came to speak to you Mr. Harrington. My brother and I acted a bit out of order earlier. We were angry. I came here to apologize. I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight if I didn’t. ”

He nods stiffly. This was the first time I saw the old geezer without a suit and tie. He was dressed in his pajamas.

“Do you care for some coffee?” He asked as he gestured me to the kitchen.

I smiled and nod. “Yes please.”

We strut to the kitchen, me glaring at his back.

It was unlikely that he would change his mind. My dad once said this man was stubborn as a bull. But at least I had to try.

Dad and Christopher’s way might cause Aiden harm. I didn’t want one little hair touched on my future husband’s head.

“No maids around?” I asked as I looked around the empty place.

“I don’t let anyone stay the night here. I rather be alone.” He responded while making a beeline for the coffee machine.

“Lillian, I didn’t turn you away because I have known you since when you were little. If you were anyone else, I wouldn’t make you enter my premises at this time of the night.”

I sighed and placed my bag on the countertop. “I’m sorry Mr. Harrington. I really didn’t mean to come here to disturb your sleep-

He snorted. “Sleep? I haven’t been getting much of those. ”

He turned around, his eyes on me intently. “Why are you here Lillian? If this is about Aiden. It’s still a no. I won’t change my mind.”

My hands fists.

“Mr. Harrington-.

“Lillian,” He cuts me off and takes a step forward.

He’s face to face with me now, only the kitchen island separating us.
