“WHAT?” Sophia asked in shock and then apologized to the people around her.
“Don’t tell him that I already told you about it. To be honest, that guy is good. I tried to look for all the things to find at least one bad habit of that guy but guess what? I found NOTHING. He is kind of a perfect guy for you, and maybe he will be a great father for your kids.”
“But I don’t want any PERFECT guy. I’m happy with my IMPERFECT match.” Sophia tried to explain and shook her head in tension. Oliver had indeed done a lot for her, but she was not expecting him to use an emotional card for her second marriage.
‘No! No! No! No! This shouldn’t be happening.’ Sophia thought. She knew as an elder brother, he wanted the best for his sister, but she didn’t want BEST; she wanted Brandon even if Oliver would put him in the category of worst.
“I know that, but you haven’t told your brother yet.” Rebecca pointed out.
“Becca, I’m sorry.”
“Sorry? Sorry for what?”
“Because I will tell Oli that you knew about Brandon and me, but you didn’t tell him about it.”
“WHAT?” Rebecca growled.
“I’m sorry. I will tell him the same if you won’t kick that PERFECT guy out of Oli’s mind.”
“What?”
“I know deep down you also want me to end up with Brandon. So, you will have to help me. By the time I will be there with everyone, please… please… please do some werewolf magic and make Oliver realize that Brandon is the right one for me.”
“But…”
“You are doing this for yourself, not me, remember? Because I won’t attend the wedding if you don’t solve my problem.”
“Now you’re blackmailing me.”
“Please, for Calvin and Colton… please!! I don’t want my brother to lung on my soon-to-be husband like an angry Alpha Male. Remember the slap that he gave me in the hospital? Do you want history to repeat? I know mates can tame the anger of the partner, so, please, please!!”
“Fine! Anything for the family.” Rebecca muttered
“Thank you, Becca. You’re the best sister in the world. I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
“To whom you are saying ‘I love you, too'” Both heard the sound of Oliver from the back. Rebecca showed him the display of her phone so that her mate wouldn’t get jealous unnecessarily. “I love you, Sophia.”
“I love you, too, brother,” Sophia said, and by then, Rebecca had already kept the phone on speaker.
“Give a lot of love to my nephew from my side, and don’t forget to tell them that Uncle Oliver loves them a lot.”
“Sure!!” Sophia was tempted to tell him about Caro after all; she was the first baby that he had handled, and first is always precious, but she also knew that if she would say anything at this moment, then he would be here in the next moment.

When Sophia reached her flat, both Eden and Arya gave her a questioned look.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“I’m sorry. I forget that he rented the penthouse in the same building.” Sophia muttered, recalling how hard it had been to settle in the same flat with Logan, Jake, Eden, Arya, three kids, Sophia, and now even Brandon was discharged. Not to forget, even Bruce used to spend half of the day here. Though Brandon wanted to buy the penthouse, but Sophia suggested to option of taking it on a lease or on a rental basis because eventually, they had to move to Paris.
“It’s okay. I can understand; it happens.” Arya said with a smile.
“But what are you thinking so hard that you forgot this fact?” Eden questioned. Sophia walked into the flat and sat beside them; she told everything to them.
“Don’t worry so much. Your brother has just found a groom. He is not forcing you into marriage, and neither is he a person who could do so. He is just worried for you and the babies because, at some point in life, people need a partner.” Arya explained.
“Exactly. You don’t need to worry because I can see the end result, he might get mad or pissed at you for trusting Brandon and giving him a second chance, but he is not heartless to break relation with you or forcefully get you married to someone whom you don’t love.” Eden added.
“Now, go. I’m sure all your kids and your boyfriend are waiting for you.” Arya said with a smile.
“Yeah!! All my kids.” I smile at the thought of having Caroline back in my life. “I will see you guys later.”
“No thanks. We don’t want to see you for the next two days.” Eden joked. Sophia blushed and left from there.

Jake opened the door and greeted Sophia when she walked in and realized that penthouse was too silent when there were three kids in the house.
“Where are kids?” She asked.
“They went out with Boss.”
“Even Caroline?” Sophia asked in surprise because Caroline was still learning to adjust to the light.
“Yes, lady boss.” He confirmed.
‘Brandon didn’t tell me about it.’ She thought and then shook her head. ‘He got back on his feet today, and he is already started having fun without me.’
“Finally, you’re here.” Sophia heard Logan’s voice and looked at him. “I was waiting for you.”
“Waiting for me? Why, dad?”
“Because I have to help my daughter for a family date that your boyfriend has planned tonight,” Logan replied.
