Chapter 39

Sophie’s pov

Who’s standing before me didn’t make sense.

Was I even making sense?

My throat feels tight, emotions go haywire in my body. My heart is thumping loudly. I can’t think properly.

But what I was surprised about was Aiden ripping his eyes away from mine and continuing to speak on the phone while ignoring me completely.

Why was his eyes so cold when they stared into mine? Why did he stare at me blankly? Did he not remember me?
