The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

I’m whisking the eggs in the bowl when I heard Sergio converse with Aiden.

“Your fiance seems a bit tensed in my presence. If we are to be family, she needs to warm up a bit.”

Well of course I was tense! You were burying me with your glare.

I bit my tongue and tried to focus on the task at hand which was a bit difficult.

I could be wrong but I think I added way too much salt.

“She’s tense because you’re an old miserable man whose life mission is to destroy any form of happiness in your family. Why would she be warm and welcoming in the presence of the devil?” Aiden bit out and I can just hear that he was holding back because of Ashton.

I bit the inside of my lower lip, inwardly slapping my forehead. Aiden had really done it this time. Now the man would be furious.

But instead of being furious, Sergio chuckled and for the first time, it rang with emotion, amusement.

“Now grandson, that name is only for you, or so I’ve heard. Is it the blue-eyed devil our employees call you?” Sergio retorted

with amusement.

Aiden who I could see was seething all the way here, answered in a clipped tone. “What can I say, I learned from the best.”

Sergio nods. “Yes, your father.”

My heart pounds. Sergio had reached an all-time low and I feared there was nothing I can do to stop them from arguing
