Sophie’s pov

“What?” I breathed out stunned.

Just a few moments ago I could hear the pure rage in his voice when he had spoken to Sergio over the phone.

And now he agreed to have lunch with the man?

I can’t help but feel a little annoyed that he agreed without my consent. Then again perhaps it would be best to act neutral, especially if I were to keep my tongue tied about Sergio’s visit and his ugly words.

Aiden still refuses to look at my face and moves away from me while scratching his chin.

“He invited us to lunch tomorrow Sophie. If you’re still feeling unwell then we can cancel.” He looks at me then, eyes bared of emotion.

I had options, good. I can say I was still feeling like c*ap tomorrow and Aiden would cancel.

But what if that’s what that old vile man was hoping for?

He wanted to test out if I was weak and afraid of him.

What better way to shock that old man than to accept his invitation and walk into his home with a straight back and a confidently pointed chin?

I can suffer a couple of minutes even an hour in Sergio’s

presence if it were to cause the man to be displeased.

“Okay. I see nothing wrong with going to lunch at Sergio’s.” I said, a shoulder lifted into a slight shrug.

I looked down at Ash. “But…”

I drawled.

I can take all that old man’s nasty words but I refuse to have him set his eyes on Ashton again, especially up close.
