Tyler’s POVMy heart skips a beat as Sophia's voice echoes through the phone, exclaiming Alexander's name. Shock floods over me, momentarily rendering me speechless. In this very moment, Jake swings open the door, sensing the tension in the air and joining me in the room."What happened?" Jake's voice is laced with urgency, mirroring the intensity of my own thoughts. I take a deep breath, desperately trying to steady my racing mind, and finally manage to respond, "That guy, Alexander, is at Sophia's place."Jake's eyes widen, and his entire demeanor shifts to a state of high alertness. He turns to face me, his expression serious. "Should we go there?" he asks without hesitation, ready to jump into action."Hold on," I reply, my voice tinged with impatience. I strain my ears, hoping to catch even a fraction of the conversation between Sophia and Alexander. However, my attempts to eavesdrop are abruptly interrupted when Sophia bids her farewell and abruptly ends the call.A sigh escape
The Alpha's Human Surrogate 45
Sophia’s POVAs I open the door, I am surprised to see Alexander standing at the doorway, the two kids in his arms. Daisy is completely asleep, and her head is on his shoulders, the ponytail of her hair drooping on his chest, and her brother stirs up when he hears the door open. He rouses and looks up from his father’s embrace, reaching out to rub his eyes dizzily. I also notice the puppy he is carrying in his arms; it is the puppy from that day at the supermarket.I am stunned by their sudden appearance, but I can’t help but think inwardly about how they are so cute. Not to mention how they all really seem like a family, and Alexander really looks like a father; I just never thought that he would really look like a father figure.Which brings me back to reality – why is the whole bunch at my doorstep? I am about to ask when I hear Jake’s voice in the background, reminding me that I am still on a call. I quickly say to the receiver, “I’ll call you back later, Tyler,” I say before han

Sophia’s POVHe helps him pull his outer coat off and tucks him in bed at the other side, leaving me space to sleep in the middle before turning to leave for the living room. But just as he is about to leave, Daisy stirs on the bed and wakes up.She looks dazed at first as she looks around her, wondering where she is. But after a moment when her gaze lands on me, her mind seems to clear up, and she rubs her eyes.“Auntie Sophia, you’re here. Where is my daddy?” She asks, preparing to step out of the bed, but I quickly step forward to stop her from getting down.“Alexander,” I call out. “Daisy is up.”He soon returns into the bedroom and approaches us, squatting at the side of The bed as he touches her face. “Baby, you’re awake?”“Yes.” She quickly bobs her head adorably, and my heart melts at the sight of it. She holds her father’s face and looks at it carefully. I am shocked by her next question as I can’t fathom how she figures that out just by looking at his face.She asks, “Daddy

Sophia’s POVAlexander looks at me with brows raised in surprise while the two kids pause before Daisy jumps in delight. “Thank you, Auntie.”I smile, wondering why she is so happy. It is just for a night, and he won’t even sleep together with them.I ask, looking at Alexander, who has now stood up from his earlier position. “Should we move them to the guest room then?”He shakes his head, however. “Can’t they just stay with you?” He turns to them and asks, “Don’t you want to stay with Auntie?”I think they would not want to, considering how they were so persuasive for their father to stay around. But they bob their heads negatively as they respond, “We’ll stay with Auntie Sophia.”Alexander nods, clearly pleased, and I can’t help feeling that he has deliberately tossed them to me to get a break. But I am not even offended in any way. In fact, I am pleased. It is a chance for me to get to know the kids better.I smile as the clock chimes nine. “It’s late already. You should get to bed

Alexander’s POVI’m sitting on the bed, looking around the room. It’s built just like the setting of the guest room in my apartment. It feels strangely homely, as though it’s my own room. But there’s this vague anxiety at the thought that Sophia is so near.I can’t help but remember the moment I shared with her earlier. I could tell she was affected by my presence, and I was tempted to kiss her right then. But who knew she would run off so suddenly?I reach out to touch my lips, imagining how her lips would feel on mine. I remember them to be soft and supple when I kissed her the other night. I loved it, and I really want to kiss her again. Maybe some day when the kids are not near and she isn’t so cold to me anymore.Speaking of cold, I can’t help but rub my arms. The ventilator is on, and the night breeze keeps blowing in, making it cold. She was so startled earlier that she ran out, forgetting to hand me a blanket.I grab the remote from the side table and switch off the ventilator

Sophia’s POVI stay with him, sitting across from him on the sofa, watching him closely as he continues to sip on the water. The pain seems to be subsiding slightly, but I can still see the discomfort in his eyes.“I’m sorry for making you go Through all this trouble,” he says, breaking the silence, his voice still weak.I shake my head gently. “Don’t apologize. I’m just glad I’m here to help. You should have called me earlier if you weren’t feeling well.”He gives me a small smile. “My phone is dead, so I couldn’t call.”“Thankfully, I woke up.” I sigh, breathing out in relief. I feel oddly relieved. As he finishes the water, I set the glass aside and can’t help but ask, “What did you eat before going to bed?”He pauses for a moment, as if considering whether to tell me or not, then sighs. “Just some leftovers from dinner. There was nothing wrong with the food; I just had a bad stomach sometimes.”“Nonsense! You need to take better care of yourself,” I scold gently, my concern for

Sophia’s POV“Good morning,” he replies with a warm smile that sends my heart aflutter.I try my best to focus on the conversation at hand, but it’s hard not to get lost in the delicious distraction of his shirtless allure. I mean, how on earth am I supposed to maintain my composure with a Greek god standing right in front of me?He chuckles softly, seemingly aware of the effect he has on me. “Enjoying the view?” he teases, raising an eyebrow playfully.My cheeks turn even redder, and I quickly try to deny it, “Oh, um, it’s not that big of a deal. I just... happened to notice.” I mentally cringe at how unconvincing I sound, feeling like a character straight out of a cliché romance story.He flashes a mischievous grin, clearly enjoying my embarrassment. “Come on, don’t be shy,” he says, stepping a bit closer. “I know I’m not bad to look at.”My heart races as his proximity intensifies the butterflies in my stomach. Trying to keep my composure, I retort, “Oh, please. You’re not that gre
The Alpha's Human Surrogate 51
Alexander’s POV As I step inside the apartment with the kids, I look around, noting the considerable changes that have been made in it. It was soaked to the brim last night, but it’s now back to normal, and only the repairman is left in the kitchen, fixing the tap.Earlier, I had called for some of the servants from the main mansion to clean up the mess from last night. My goodness, the state they found everything in was alarming! But thanks to their hard work, the apartment now looks fresh and inviting. I’m grateful I didn’t keep any important documents here; that would have been a disaster!With most of the furniture replaced with new ones, it almost feels like I am in someone else’s place.
