Chapter 129
Sophie’s pov
“So you’re saying that Aiden Xavier. Thee Aiden Xavier bought you a hundred red roses and wrote you
a love note?” M asked, looking baffled as she looked around the apart- ment that was still….littered
with red roses.
I had better clean them up but my heart didn’t want to get rid of them.
I was in a tug war, one side knew I had to get rid of a good amount because I can’t possibly have so
many in one room….yet the other part want to see them everyday even when they’ll be wilted.
That’s how much I want to cherish these roses Aiden had given to me. Such a sweet surprise…..one
that made him break down any remaining walls I had left around my heart.
I chewed on my nails and nod while trying to fight a smile.
M’s eyes widen. “You’re kidding. This cannot be the same Aiden in high school.” She gasped looking
around the entire room that still looked like the red sea even though I tried my best to push the roses to
one side.
“You’re so lucky Soph. Aiden’s a charmer and a romantic. Lucky bit-” Ria stopped when I sent her a
re that told her to shut it before she said the bad word.
She smiles shakily and looks down at Ash who was curled -in her arms.
He had woken up a few minutes after Aiden’s second call
We had resumed to watching some television and then yed a little with the orange small ball Aiden
had gifted to him. We had been at it for hours until the girls arrived.
But now in Ria’s hold, my baby looked exhausted.
Ria rocked him and pointed at the outside deck, telling me silently that she’d be over there with Ash.
I nod and she’s quick to rush away from my re.
“I still can’t believe it.” M said in awe as she crotched down and brushed her fingers over the red
petals.
“I’d never take Aiden for that kind of guy….but I’ll admit he is trying.” She tilted her head up and smiled
at me happily.
“As long as you are happy Soph, I’m happy.” The creases lined the corner of her eyes deepened as
she smiled widely.
I sighed and fell onto the sofa, breathing out lightly as I tilt my head up to the ceiling. “It feels like a
dream M.” I ad- mitted.
“A really good dream that I don’t want to ever wake up from. It’s crazy that we were arguing just a few
days ago and now we’re together. Trying out something we were once scared to admit we wanted to try
out.” I sighed and snapped my head down to hers.
She’s still crotched down and skimming her fingers over the petals in awe.
It takes a lot to impress M and this seemed to have -done the trick.
Aiden had definitely yed his cards right. Getting my best friend’s approval was something he seem
to be on his way aplishing.
“I always knew he loved you Soph. I saw it back then in his eyes and I’m seeing it now,” She stands up
and looks down at me. N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
“I think you made the right choice by trying this out,” Her grin then starts to curled into a teasing smirk
that had me groaning inwardly.
“Sophie Bell, hmmm the girl who’s aplishing what many others have failed to aplish before
her.” M teased and walked over to the sofa and plopped beside me.
I looked at her a but confused, until she beamed. “You’ve aplished making the blue eyed devil
cold heart beat. You’ve done the unthinkable.” She snorted and pulled me into a hug.
“Can we now call you the blue eyed devil’s wife?” M joked earning her a slight push from me.
She giggles and I join her.
When we’re both sobered up, she sighs and then mur- murs. “I’m really happy for you Sophie. You
deserve this. You deserve even more happiness.”
“But-
She stops and I freeze when I hear the word but. That word is never good when it is used.
And now she had used it….anxiety kicks in.
M draws in a breath and lets it out.
“I can’t help but be worried that you two are moving way too fast. First the engagement being real and
now you two wanting to try out for baby number two? Sophie…..are you even sure you want these
things now? I don’t want to see you get hurt if you regret doing those things down the line.” M
whispered looking down at me in worry.
Like any normal friend, she was worried about the fast pace Aiden and I were going at.
I tore my eyes away from hers and then swept them over to the little boy in Ria’s arms.
“I thought about it a lot today actually,st night too, a lit- tle. And then as I thought about the cons…I
realized that there were more pros. You see M,” I started softly, gulping the lump in my throat.
“There was absolutely nothing I’ve ever done with Aiden that I’ve regretted. The only thing I wasn’t
happy about was the fact that we could’ve been together sooner and avoided such a tragedy. But
everything else….I have never regretted and would do again in a heart beat. I love him M. I always
have….and it’s about time we both stop running away from each other.” I whispered with honesty.
M looks at me fixedly, searching my eyes and then nods. She smiles and pulls me in her arms to hug
me tightly. Then I’ll support you Soph.”
Sergio’s pov
I tapped the cigar bud and let the ashes fall on the tray.
I smirked, whirling in my chair and kicking up my legs on the desk. Crossing my ankles, I brought the
cigar to my mouth and took in a huge puff.
When I breathed it out, my door swings open.
“Is it published?” I asked, removing the cigar and tapping the bud again.
“Yes Mr. Harrington. I’ve also sent your request to Barwick and he has agreed to it. He has promised to
not, on any con- dition, remove the post on any tform until you give him the go.”
“Good.” I waved my hand to tell him to get out as I draw the cigar back to my lips and take another lung
full of smoke.
I smirked when I withdraw the cigar away from my mouth.
Ah Aiden and Sophie….
Let’s see how long you two wouldst.
It’s time for grandpa to y chess.
