Chapter 142

Sophie’s pov
They always say there is a kind soul in.a once cold heart. But maybe that was my own saying, but I
sure as hell believed it
now.
As Aiden’s words brush against my eardrums, my body sang with warmth. His once cold heart would
never be able to do this, nor will he ever say such words so warmly.
I closed my eyes for a few, savoring the feel of his warm fingers on my waist and then leaned down,
Ashton’s head going forward as well.
I puckered up my lip and then said a wish inwardly before blowing out the candle. Today wasn’t my
birthday but this was one of the sweetest surprises I had ever gotten.
Aiden keeps surprising me with these gestures.
Peeling my eyes open, I straightened and turned around in his arms. He hugs me and Ash, kissing my
head and leaving his nose buried in my hair. I can hear him sniff and he murmured above my head.
“You smell like home,” He kissed my head again, lingering his lips there.
His words had my heart racing and had tingles running down my spine. I rest my head on his chest,
holding Ash on my hip. We stayed like this for a few until Aiden hears the rude rumbling of my stomach.
He pulls away. “Forgive me for forgetting about your stomach. baby. Let me te some of those waffles
and strawberries for you quickly.”
I nod and he leaves to do just that.
“Have a taste of the cupcake baby and tell me what you think.”
I turn back to the cupcake and pulled the candle out of it. Setting the candle down, I picked up the
cupcake and bit into
it.
The sweet taste of the chocte icing was the first thing my taste buds picked up on, and then the
vor of the cake burst on my tomgue….
I forced myself to swallow it and looked at Aiden whose back is mirroring me. His toned back muscles
flexed and I had to force my eyes away from his back to focus.
I cleared my throat, licking up the chocte icing on my lips to save me from the bitter t*ng of too much
baking soda.
“Aiden,” I called out, biting into the inside of my bottom lip.
He turns around with the te in his hand, a concern frown between his brows.
“Yes baby?”
I almost didn’t want to tell him that his cake skills were not
top-notch, but I knew that he would ask questions if I didn’t finish the cupcake.
So I told him.
“I love your surprise baby but I can’t finish eating the cupcake.” I admitted feeling awful that I had to tell
him this.
His brow c*cked up. “Baby huh?”
His bottom lip snuck between his teeth and he bites down on the plumpness.
“I don’t know, I prefer the word daddy. But I guess that will only be used for the bedroom. So I guess
baby works fine.” He
winks.
I nearly want to groan. How can he only hear the word baby and not have registered the others?
But even though I was slightly annoyed, a st*pid blush smeared on my cheeks. “Shut up.”
He chuckles and approaches me and Ashton with the te in his hand. My belly growls seeing the
strawberries and waffles, smeared with honey.
He may not be a cake maker but he was definitely good at making breakfast.
When he’s before me, he ces the te on the countertop and stared down at me with a look of
interest.
“Why aren’t you able to finish eating the cupcake?” He looked down at the cupcake as he questioned
me.
At least he heard that part too.
I looked at him for a bit and contemted if I actually wanted to be the one to pull the rug under his feet
and confess to him that the little surprise he just gave me taste like sh*t.
I wince.
I should just rip the bandage off.
“I can’t eat it because it doesn’t taste that great,” I stared at his surprise face and rushed out. “But it’s
the thought that counts Aiden. I don’t care if it taste bad or good.”
Aiden’s brows knot as he stared down at the cupcake. “You’re kidding?” He pries the cupcake from my
hands, surprising me when he takes a bite.
It only takes a few seconds and he rushes to the bin and spits it out. “F*ck.”
“Aiden!” I scowled, quickly blocking Ashton’s ears even though the word was said and done.
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
He winces, either from my scolding or the taste of the cupcake.
He throws the rest of the cupcake in the bin and looks over at me sheepishly. “At least you got your
wish.”
I giggled.
He approaches me.”Baking cakes are not my strong point but your man can sure whip up something
when ites to breakfast, lunch and dinner.”
He jokes and pulls me in his arms. He kisses my forehead as I giggled and bend down to kiss Ashton’s
head. “I’d gobble down that breakfast if I were you. To get rid of that cupcake aftertaste.”
I can hear the cringe in his voice and giggled even more.
“I know what I want to suck and eat out to get rid of mine.” He murmurs, his lips nearing my ear.
His words sent shivers raking through my body and when he spoke again, huskily as ever, my knees
weakened and I nearly melt.
“But those words aren’t meant for our son to hear,” His hot breath feathered on my ear, sparking a fire
that courses through my veins quickly.
Suddenly his phone buzzes on the countertop and he pulls away from me.
I turn around to re at the phone for disturbing us, but the surprise I received had my heart dropping.
Caller I.D. was Lillian. The doctor they spotted him with yesterday.
My lips press into a t line and I wait for what Aiden would do.
I looked up at him and noticed his tight face. I also noted the storm of irritation in his gaze. His lips were
lined with a nasty scowl and the re that pointed directly at the phone worried me that it would set it
on fire.
“Why is this d*mn woman calling me?” He gritted while still ring at the phone.
“Aren’t you going to answer it to find out?” I said and hadn’t meant for my words to give away my bitter
jealousy.
Aiden took note of it and sweep his gaze back to mine. The storm that brewed in his eyespletely
let up. “Why would I
waste my time to answer a woman that’s not important when I have my life in front of me?”
He lifts his finger and brushed it along my cheek. “Your jealousy is cute mama bear but there is no
reason to be jealous when ites to her.” His hand wraps around the back of my head and he pulls
my head forward.
He kissed my head and murmured. “I thought I showed you thatst night but I suppose I have more
cut out for me.”
When the phone stops, after a few seconds it res again. I pull away from him and swallowed my
pride. “Maybe it’s important Aiden.”
Aiden groaned and looked down at his phone. His expression lightened up.
“Oh, I need to take that one.” He said and I turned around to see someone else’s name shing on his
phone.
He picks up his phone and brought it to his ear while staring down at me. “Did you manage to do it?”
His face painted with fury secondster when I suppose he got a response he didn’t like.
“What the hell do you mean they are not agreeing to take the d*mn post down?!” Aiden barked into the
phone, fury burning through his gaze.
