Sophieâs pov Is he seriously trying to get down and dirty with an aching dick?
I looked at Aiden like he had completely lost his mind.
Honestly, I think he did. How can he think of sex in his situation?
Suddenly Aiden snorted and chuckled louder. âYour mind had wandered to that place where youâre moaning didnât it?â He asked in amusement.
Realizing that he was only joking, I smacked his thigh. âBe fucking serious for once Aiden!â I snapped and rolled my eyes yet bit the inside of my bottom lip to stop myself from smiling.
He shrugged. âI had to crack that tension somehow.â
I rolled my eyes and told him to hold the pack of peas when Ashton starts to stir.
Aiden turns around to watch me and his son on the bed with a small smile on his face.
I was trying to get Ashton to go back to sleep.
But when I noticed Aidenâs stare, I got nervous and asked. âWhat?â
I tucked my hair behind my ear and ripped my gaze from his.
âYouâre a good mom.â He said with honesty swimming in his voice.
His words had my heart fluttering lightly.
I blushed because of his words and the weight of his stare.
âThank you,â I whispered.
Suddenly he questioned. âWas it hard raising him alone?â
I had not expected his question and it rendered me a bit speechless. Iâm trying to regain my speech as his eyes had not once left my face.
I took in a calming breath and answered him honestly. âAt first. I was a new mom and I didnât know what to do. My foster mom who never had a baby of her own wasnât that much educated in the breastfeeding department. It took a lot of trial and errors to get it right. A few months after giving birth to him was the worst. My body changed, my hormones, and I found myself going through postpartum depression.â
I looked at him and continued. âIt didnât help that I couldnât work to help with the bills and food. Mila and Ria did it all on their own. It was kind of difficult to save for pampers and necessities at a point. Newborn stuff was really expensive. It was hard to get everything he needed. â
I tore my eyes away from his when his eyes began to storm. I knew I shouldnât have told him those parts. Now heâd be even angrier at me for keeping Ashtonâs existence from him.
âBut those few months were also the best. I got to learn many things about being a mom. What it takes to be one. It wasnât an easy job,â My eyes fall on my sleeping son, and I rake my fingers through his soft hair.
âBut it was rewarding. Especially having to see his happy face every day. Ashton was not a fussy baby and he made the journey easier.â I smiled at my son who was the exact replica of his father who sat watching us without a flicker of his eyes.
My heart panged and I let out a heavy breath while sweeping my gaze back to him. âIâm so sorry I made you miss all those times Aiden. If I could go back in time I would. I now know what a huge mistake I made in the past and promise to not do it again.â
Aiden looks at me intensely for a silent few and then murmured. âYouâre a strong woman Sophie. Especially having to take care of Ashton all on your own as a teen mother. There are things I regret in my past, but being with you and creating him was not one of them. Iâm happy itâs with you and not anyone else.â He admitted, his eyes falling on Ashton.
His words had my heart halting in its beats for a while and I nearly fainted there and then.
I had not expected them. A lot of his words this late afternoon I had not expected.
But these were by far the most shocking.
âAiden-
Ashton stirs and I stop. I try to put him back to sleep but this time he wasnât having it.
With his drowsy little self crawling onto my lap, I kissed his forehead and looked at his father who stared at us fondly.
His stare had my cheeks flushing.
âI think heâs hungry,â I said, getting off the bed with Ashton in my arms. Heâs still a little sleepy and rests his head on my chest.
âIâll be back-
âCan I hold him?â Aiden suddenly asked, his eyes not flitting away from Ashton who yawned cutely.
I looked down at his crotch and he pulled the frozen pack of peas away from his dick. It leaves a wet patch on his sweats.
âAre you sure youâre able to? Ashton likes to kick when heâs a bit exhausted and wants to fight his sleep. I donât want him injuring you again. â I voiced out my concern, wincing slightly.
Aiden nods, looking down at his son in amusement. âGuess he took that from me too. And Iâm fine enough to hold him, Sophie.â
When he sees that I donât look convinced he utters.
âMy dick feels better so I donât think Iâm in need of this anymore.â He holds out the packet of peas my way.
Gnawing on my lips, I nod and pass Ashton to him while I took the frozen pack of peas.
âBy the way, when did you change? In fact, where did you get the extra clothes?â I asked in curiosity as I watch him hold Ash close to him and made sure to not have him touch the wet patch on his sweats.
Aiden responded without lifting his head. âI had Mitch bring some extra clothes for me when you were asleep. Iâm spending the night as well.â
I shook my head, not even bothering to ask him why he just decided to stay over. I knew that heâd just end up getting his way anyway.

ï¤Chapter 103 The Billionaires Mistress ï¤Epilogue The Alpha and The Fool ï¤Chapter 30 Trailing his fingers down Ashtonâs cheeks, he looks up and grins happily. âI still canât believe we made a little human Soph,â He whispered in awe, looking back down at Ash who smiled up at Aiden sleepily as if knowing exactly what his father had just said.
I smiled fondly at the clear affection he had for Ashton. âA little human whoâs your exact replica.â
Aiden lifts his gaze, eyes connected with mine, and with a wink, he jokes. âI think I pumped you too much of me.â
I rolled my eyes. âOh my God, you canât be serious for once,â I said in exasperation, turning around to leave the room.
Aiden laughs and when I closed the door behind me, I couldnât stop the wide smile from spreading on my cheeks.
I love this side of Aiden much more than the devilish side.
