The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63

Sophie’s pov

“He does,” I whispered in agreement and cut the distance between Mila and me. Ash leaps into my arms quickly and I giggle.

“How’s my baby boy this morning? Sorry, I woke you up so early bug.” I whispered, hugging him to me and planted a kiss on his head. He giggles, curling his little arms around my neck to hug me.

Mila leans forward to whisper lowly while looking at Aiden behind me. “Are you okay Soph?” She asked in concern

I nod, reassuring her softly. “Yes. Just a bit

“Can I hold him?” His voice fluttered behind me so softly that you’d never know he was angry just moments ago.

I whirl around with Ash in my hold and the little bugger giggled. I looked at Aiden but his eyes aren’t on me. They’re on his son.

“Yes,” I whispered and handed over Ash gently in his arms.

Aiden’s so gentle while taking Ash from my hold that it looks rather strange to see this soft side of him.

It’s odd to see him like this.

I want to smile at the goofy little smile he sent to Ash to cause him to

giggle. But I bit my bottom lip and focus on my son.

“Hi there Ashton. I’m your dad.” He whispered causing me to snap my gaze to him in shock.

Sure we hadn’t talked about how we’d break this down to Ash yet but I would’ve thought he’d at least consult me before telling Ash his role in his life.

Aiden ignores my stare and focuses on his son who looked at him confused before giving him an adorable toothy grin that had me jealous.

“Dada?” Ashton said and I fawned inwardly. Even at his age, Ashton was smart enough to understand many things.

I watch in incredible surprise when Aiden’s face flushed. I wasn’t sure if the cause was perhaps the suit he wore or Ashton’s words.

Either way, if I wasn’t so angry and frustrated with him I’d swoon. Inwardly of course.

He lifted his fingers in Ashton’s hair and brushed through them. “Yes Ash, I’m your dada.” He said fondly, his eyes glowing.

Even though the way he stared at Ash melted my heart, I had to remind myself that this was Aiden and at any time he can just change his mind and hurt Ashton. And me.

“I’ll go start on breakfast,” Mila whispered, seeming to want to give us

some space.

I looked at her with wide eyes. Begging her to not leave me alone with Aiden and Ashton but she only smiles at me reassuringly before running up those stairs I knew for certain would have her out of breath in seconds.

I glared at where she left off and froze when Aiden sent a question to me. “What time does he usually go to daycare?”

I whip around to face him, my brows furrowing in confusion. “How do you know he’s in daycare?”

Aiden playfully bites Ashton’s little fingers as they try to touch his lips. Ashton giggles loudly with a small squeal.

Looking over at me passively, Aiden responds cooly. “Does it matter?”

I shake my head and let out an annoyed breath. He was so damn frustrating

“Yes it does matter Aiden.” I gritted out lowly, crossing my arms under my breasts.

Aiden pushes out an irritated sigh and answers. “It was just a guess, Sophie. Kids his age are in daycare. I just assumed.” He answers curtly and playfully nips his son’s playful little fingers.

I narrowed my eyes on his face, not believing him one bit. I was also a bit confused about how he knew where I lived in the first place.

Yesterday I didn’t quite think about it then because I was a bit more occupied with the thoughts filling my head. But now it was a bit suspicious that he knew where I live when not even Bemard knew where I stay

“Aiden,” I called out to him, hoping I can take a few seconds of his attention away from his son.

“Hmmm?” He hums, making silly faces at Ashton who giggles.

Stop squeezing so much stupid heart.

“How did you know where I
