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.
