The Arranged Bride

Sophia's POV

" But Mom-"

" No buts. You will handover your phone to me. " Nick lazily walked out of his study when I was busy glaring at Ethan. Evelyn stood by my side angry at her brother.

" What happened? Why made both of my girls so upset?" Nick came up and kissed my forehead .

" Your son happened. Evie called me saying how he fought with a guy. " I was really exasperated at this. He was seventeen for God's sake and still gets into fights

" And what's the reason for the fight?" Nick looked at Ethan for explanation.

" I didn't fight , Dad. I just scared him away." He said in an offended voice. I saw Nick checking the smile that was threatening to fall on his face while I wanted nothing more than to beat his ass up. Suddenly Evie decided to speak up.

" Dad, do you know what Ethan did? He scared Peter away . He threatened him to stay away from me and now he would never talk to me. " She ended with a sad voice. I really felt sorry for my little girl. Whenever she would talk to any guy, Ethan would go into his big brother mode and scare the poor guy away.

" Who is Peter?" Nick raised a brow at Ethan.

" A stupid horny boy ,Dad. Two days back, I saw him all over Evie. They met at the park or whatever. I had warned him to stay away from her yet today I saw him kiss her. So I just made sure he remembers well not to repeat it ever." He casually shrugged like he wasn't talking about breaking someone's nose.

" Oh God Ethan! Don't exaggerate. It was a peck on the cheek." Evelyn defended.

" Nick , say something." Nick looked up at me and then back at Ethan before a smirk made its way onto his face. Ethan at once understood that his work was appreciated by his Dad because he too smirked in return. Nick walked towards him and patted his back. I looked at him like he had grown two heads.

" Just don't do any damage." As soon as the words left his mouth , Evie's head snapped towards her Dad.

Sure Dad." Ethan
