The Arranged Bride

Chapter - 48

Sophia's POV

" Five more minutes." I replied while putting on the earrings. I and Nick were going to attend a gala and Ethan would be staying with Amy. It had been three weeks to our honeymoon but regardless of the number of times we have had sex , I haven't recovered from my shyness. On the other hand Nick was becoming more and more blunt with each passing day. No matter what, I could never cope up with his uncensored vocabulary.

But honestly, we have become transparent to each other over the past few weeks. It's as if communication is even easier between us now .

" Mom , you look so beautiful !" Ethan gushed . Nick had chosen the dress for me to wear to the gala tonight and I must admit that the dress is swoon worthy. It was a champagne gold one shoulder dress with a thigh slit. I paired it up with nude heels and a pair of hoop earrings. Putting my hair up in a messy updo , I completed it with a nude makeup.

" Thank you baby." Ethan immediately scrunched his nose up in annoyance causing me to chuckle.

" Done yet or I should..." Nick trailed off once his eyes fell on me. He was shamelessly checking me out but I wasn't anything better. He looked tempting as his perfect muscles bulged through his black Armani suit , hair neatly gelled and beard perfectly trimmed. I could bet that I was looking at him like a hawk.

" Why are you staring at each other like there is double cheeseburger in front of you? " Ethan's voice broke our trance. I blinked multiple times, not knowing what to do . This li'l guy can really embarrass you if he wants to.

While my face flushed with embarrassment, Nick just chuckled.

" You look stunning." He complimented looking into my eyes.

" And you look handsome." He was . In fact he looked much more than just handsome.

" Shall we?" He offered his hand to me. I put my hand in his and gave a nod.

Nick's POV

We came out of the car and made our way to the venue. Paparazzis were covering the front of the entrance . Just on seeing us , they started throwing questions at us about our honeymoon . Sophia answered some of them until one.

" So should we expect a tiny Carter within some months ?" Sophia didn't blush at that. Instead I felt her stiffen beside me.

Giving a vague reply, I made a move to enter. Leo and Chris
