Chapter - 53
Nick''s POV
" Only a little left and I will be done." I said the same line for the third time.
" Nick , you have said the same thing three times in the past few hours." Just what I was waiting for!
Sophia crossed her arms against her chest and stood in front of me. I massaged my temple with my
hands.
" I know baby, I know. But the pressure is a lot these days. Just another hour baby." I kept looking at
theptop screen. She was silent for a few seconds.
" I do not interest you any more , isn''t it ?" I nodded absent-mindedly before her words registered in my
mind . Furrowing my eyebrows at her absurd question, I looked up at her. She was actually standing
there with a hurt expression.
" Why this sudden irrelevant question Sophia? " I was wondering if she was on her period. She
normally doesn''t get emotional so easily.
" Irrelevant!" She muttered under her breath and shook her head.
As she turned to leave the room, I quickly held her wrist and pulled her back on myp.
She looked away refusing to meet my eyes.
" Baby , what is it with you?" She slowly looked turned towards me before her face broke into arge
grin. I looked at her dumbfounded before realisation dawned upon me.
" Sophia, really?" I looked at her with an unbelievable expression. She shrugged her shoulder, her grin
intact.
" You should have considered acting as your profession. I am sure you would have aced any role." I
shook my head.
" You were not sparing me a nce and I had to take your attention. " She brought her hands up to my
hair and spoke nonchntly, as if she just didn''t give an award-winning performance.
" And this is what youe up with? I thought you are on your period." I kept looking at her face.
" Well someone had to remind you that your wife needs more of your attention than your work does."
She kept ying with my hair. I chuckled and kissed her cheek.
" How about I make dinner for my lovely wife andpensate for all the attention she was deprived
of?" I asked tucking a loose stand of hair behind her ear.
" Umm , yeah that can do." She nodded putting her face in the crook of my neck.
I chuckled once more before hugging her tighter.
...................
" Nick,e here." I heard Sophia''s voice. She was in the living room, with Ethan and Evelyn while I
was in the kitchen preparing dinner for all of us.
" Coming." I responded, covering the vegetables.
" Nick! Come fast!" Her voice came out loud and impatient. I rushed towards the living room. Sophia
and Ethan were kneeling on the floor with their back towards me.
" What happen-" My words were stuck in my mouth as soon as I saw it. My little princess was standing
on her feet. Sophia was holding her hand while she tried bncing herself.
After a lot of practice, Sophia left her hand and ran towards us.
" Come here sweetheart. Come to Mommy." She cooed at Evie . Evie stood still for a few moments
staring at our faces before taking a wobbly step.
" Yes princess, like that. Come here." I cheered for her to which she grinned. We have noticed it a lot
number of times that she likes it when I call her princess.
She tried bncing her hand in air while she took small steps.
" Come Evie. You can do it." Ethan pped for his little sister. She tried taking another step but her legs
wobbled and she sat down on her butt.
We were all quiet before she gave out arge giggle and started crawling towards Ethan. Once she
reached him, Ethan scooped her up and embraced her tightly. Evelyn''s bond with her brother was
stronger than that was with us and I had absolutely no regrets. They are always joined at the hips. She
even used to throw tantrums when Ethan uses to leave for school but now she is somewhat used to it.
" You did well Evie!" Ethan praised and kissed her cheek, causing her to giggle. She couldn''t speak yet
but understood most of the words spoken to her.
I had thisrge smile etched on my face as I saw my kids hugging each other. Sophia looked at me
with glossy eyes and a wide smile.
" She took her first step!" She whispered as if she still didn''t believe it. I brought my hands around her
shoulder and pulled her closer to me.
" She did." I kissed her hair.
" I still can''t believe it. I never thought that I would experience this but I did. I just saw my baby take her
first step. Our little Evie." She said it like she was assuring herself. We looked at Ethan and Evelyn
yfully pushing each other.
" And I still can''t believe that I have such a beautiful family. A beautiful wife and two lovely kids.I never
thought that I would ever have aplete family. " I let out a deep satisfied breath. She nodded before
looking at me strangely.
" You smell of garlic. " She scrunched up her nose a bit which was honestly cute.
" Yeah, because I was preparing dinner to make up to my wife for ignoring her because of work. " She
chuckled at my words before turning fully towards me . She brought her hands up to circle them around
my neck.
" Nick , you''re the most amazing man I could have ever asked for in my life. You''re the most loving
husband and caring father. You , my dear husband do deserve a happyplete family and all the love
in the world." She got up on her tippy toes and kissed my nose and that''s when we heard Evie whine.
We pulled away to look at her staring at us with sad eyes and her arms strectched out to be picked up.
She was one attention seeking devil.
" Yes Princess, what is it?" I picked her up . Before I could properly settle her, she held my face with
both her hands and took my nose in her mouth. Of course she had to do it especially after Sophia
kissed my nose.
I lightly pressed her cheeks with my hand causing her to release my nose.
" No baby. Don''t do it. Germs will get into your stomach and you will get sick." I softly exined and
she looked at me with utmost attention before again putting her mouth around my nose.
