Bride Of Hades Chapter 132
Advertisement
Gavin and Harper could not believe that the Aristocratic heir, Aiden Cooper, was having dinner with Sophia, who was once a country bumpkin.
They both were jealous of Sophia, but for different reasons. Gavin was jealous that Sophia was with another man, and he lost her to Aiden Cooper. Aiden, who was being praised and worshipped by the whole country. Whose wealth and business acumen was no match for him, and had no shortage of beautiful, talented, intelligent women throwing themselves at his feet.
Sure, Sophia was pretty and very smart, she was able to start her own company after all, but he did not think she was outstanding enough to catch an Aristocratic heir. This is the reason why he dumped her, he thought he could do better than her.
Harper, on the other hand, could not digest seeing Sophia in the arms of a man better than Gavin. She remembered when her family adopted Sophia after her parents passed away, she dressed like an old-fashioned old maid. But Sophia managed to snag Gavin, and Harper was miffed. She did everything to break them apart and have him choose her. Harper finally thought she won when she got Gavin, but now it seems she lost to Sophia once again. How is it possible that an orphan had outshined her?
"Sister, let's have a meal together," Harper said with an evil glint in her eye. She wanted to test how Sophia's relationship was like with one of the most powerful men in the country. 'He's probably just using my cousin,' she thought.
"Yes, let's sit together, catch up. We haven't seen each other in a long time," Gavin joined with the invitation.
"Sure, no problem," Aiden agreed and asked the waiter to change their table. Sophia looked at him with annoyance, but he squeezed her hands, assuring her that he was in charge. 'I'll handle this, don't worry," he whispered in her ear, but that's all she did, worry about dinner.

As they got seated, the manager came over and introduced himself, offering Aiden their best wine and telling him their specials. They needed to cater to him because one bad review could send their establishment to the ground.
"What do you want to eat?" Aiden asked Sophia. She gave him her order, and he called the waiter over, ordering for both of them.
When the waiter turned to Harper, Aiden said they were having the same dishes and dismissed him before she or Gavin could utter another word.
"Uhhh..," Harper tried to mumble, but when she saw Aiden glaring at her, she decided to keep quiet.
Gavin and Harper were not used to having spicy food, so when their meal was served, they had a problem enjoying it.
"Keep on eating," Aiden pushed when he saw Sophia ate the vegetables but not the main course.
"No, I'm good," Sophia replied.
"You didn't even touch your food. How are you full? Have a taste, it's very delicious, it's their specialty," he insisted.
"I don't like shelling the crabs," she complained, "I thought they were going to be served without it.'
Aiden chuckled, "You should have told me, give me your plate. I'll do it for you."
Harper was jealous, and she was not going to be beaten, "Gavin, I want crabs too," she pleaded.
"Then eat the ones on your plate," Gavin said as he looked over at Sophia.
Harper cursed him in her head when he did not get the hint, "Peel it for me, please," she said, pushing her plate in front of him.
"You know I hate peeling shellfish. Don't give that to me. I can't even eat my food," he grumbled.
"Please, just this once?" she pouted, trying to act cute. And just like that, Gavin peeled her crabs for her.

On the other side of the table, "Here, give me back my plate. I've taken all the meat out so you can eat," Aiden said in his soft, sweet voice.
"Oh my gosh, this is so good. I would have missed out on this delicious crab if you didn't do this for me," Sophia said as she started eating.
"Here's your food," Gavin pushed the plate towards Harper with a frown on his face. Harper had been gritting her teeth for a while. 'What is happening today? Why does Aiden care for Sophia so much? Why does my fiance keep looking at her? Why is no one paying attention to me? Am I not prettier than her?' she thought to herself.
She was mad that compared to Aiden, Gavin now looked very average, the novelty of having him as a fiance was wearing off fast because of her jealousy. It kept on increasing the more she analyzed her situation. Sophia seemed to look better these days, especially since she could now afford all the high-end clothing and accessories that she never had access to before.
The manager had invited a quartet and a pianist to grace their celebration. So he figured another way to suck up to Aiden was to ask if he had any recommendations for the music.
But when he came over to their table, Gavin volunteered Sophia's favorite song even before Aiden or Sophia could answer. This irked Aiden, but he decided not to say anything.
Harper broke the awkward silence at their table, "Gavin, why don't you request the song they played when you proposed to me. I think that would be better." Gavin's face turned red, he was embarrassed that he totally forgot about Harper, his supposed to be fiance just because he kept looking at Sophia.
"I'm sorry sir, but Mr. Cooper holds a membership to this establishment, and we wanted to give him the first choice," the manager corrected Gavin. It made him doubly jealous that the manager had pointed out the difference between his and Aiden's status, it was like he got slapped and lost face all in that one sentence.
They played the song that Aiden requested, Sun is shining by Axwell and Ingrosso, he made sure that they would be able to play it by requesting it in advance.
"Oh, I know that song. You played that same song at home," Sophia said excitedly, "I like that song."
"Of course, that song reminds me of you, my sunshine," Aiden smiled at her sweetly, running his knuckle down her cheek.
Harper and Gavin had scowls on their face as they witnessed the couple being sweet with each other. Harper wanted them to dine together to show Sophia how well her relationship with Gavin was, but everything backfired on her. It was like they were invited to witness the Aiden and Sophia lovefest.
