Chapter 54: Epilogue
Sophia''s POV
" But Mom-"
" No buts. You will handover your phone to me. " Nickzily walked out of his study when I was busy
ring 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 exnation.
" 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 smiled at Nick.
" Dad , you can''t say that. He always scares away all the boys who ever talk to me." Evie cried out.
" I don''t see a problem in that. " Nick nonchntly shrugged.
" Nick! You can''t be serious." I said annoyed at him for encouraging Ethan instead of scolding him.
" But I am." He said almost immediately.
" That means you and your son are going to beat up and chase away any guy who looks at Evie?" I put
my hands on my waist in a defensive manner.
" Well if necessary...." Nick and Ethan looked at each other and back at me before shrugging. I was so
so pissed at them and their stupid shrugs. I swear if they could, they would lock my girl up in a room
and never let here across any guy.
" Don''t shrug! Just don''t. You- You - I will go mad talking to you. Evie ,e let''s go up. " I stomped my
way up the stairs , Evie following suite.

Nick''s POV
We were having a barbeque night in our garden. Both our families and friends were going to be there.
Sophia was still a bit angry with me for supporting Ethan today in the morning . So I was helping
Sophia set everything up for the night , in an attempt to cool her down. We were at the end of the
arrangements when the doorbell rang.
" I will bring the sses outside. You go and get the door." I nodded at Sophia and went to open the
door.
" Uncle Nick !" Ava , Erica and Ryan''s six year old daughter hugged my legs as soon as I opened the
door. I picked her up and ced her on my hip.
" How''s my munchkin doing ?" I flicked her nose to which she giggled. Ryan and Erica got married
when Evelyn was about a year old. They have a nine year old son, Liam and Ava.
" Where is Evie? " Alex asked .
" Upstairs." He let me hardly finish before he rushed upstairs. A few months after we had adopted Evie,
Char was pregnant with Alex . They got married before they had Alex who is now ten years old.
" Come on in." I moved aside gesturing everyone to enter.
" I thought you would never ask." Caleb hugged me and I returned it.
" Hey man!" Ryan and I did a bro hug. Our rtionship had improved a lot and I realised that the
difference created between was mostly by me and my foreverpanion, jealousy.
Char and Erica after a quick greeting rushed to Sophia with Ava and his brother.
........................
We watched as Mom and Sophia''s Mom yed with Ava while Dad and her fatherughed their hearts
out at something. Although over these years Sophia''s father has be a bitfortable with Dad ,
still his words are a bit measured in front of him . However , anybody would confuse our moms to be
bestfriends considering their closeness.
We were sitting around joking while the kids yed around. Ethan although elder than all of the kids
was very patient and he kept Liampany. At one moment it waspletely silent and we were
enjoying the peaceful atmosphere when Evie''sughter had our attention. I saw herughing at
something Alex told her. Amongst all the children, these two were the closest, considering their nearly
same age.
" See I told you, they look good together. We should definitely have them married once they grow up. "
Caleb said in an excited voice.
" Absolutely not." I said without missing a beat. He keeps on shipping Alex and Evie but I don''t find it
funny at all .
" Why not ? I always dreamt of having my child married to Sophia''s and we would really be
family." Char seconded Caleb .
" I don''t find a problem either." Sophia shrugged smirking at me before grinning at Char.
" Then it''s fixed. " I rolled my eyes at Caleb before looking into distance.
........................
I crept behind Sophia into the kitchen when she came to take the icecreams out. I hugged her from
behind, startling her in the process.

" Oh God Nick! Stop sneaking like this. " She kept a hand on her chest calming herself down.
I hummed into her hair . So many years into our marriage and I still couldn''t get over the sweet smell of
her. She was like the drug that kept me sane. I was truely and utterly whipped.
" You know one of the first things that I loved about you was your amazing smell " She turned around in
my hold to face me.
" It was your first day here after marriage. When you walked in the dining room,the fragrance hit my
nostrils and it was so damn intoxicating."
" We really dide a long way isn''t it ? From being mere strangers to enemies , bing friends
and finally falling in love with each other." She sighed dreamily.
" Yeah it feels just yesterday that I got married to a jerk like you that I have grown to love so much."
She teased to which I chuckled.
" Who thought I would ever get married let alone have an arranged bride and fall so fucking deeply in
love with her?" We looked into each other''s eyes before we attached our lips in a kiss. A sweet , gentle
kiss.
