Chapter Seventy Six
Third Person POV.
Amber stared at the old but beautiful house in front of her with a nervous gaze. She was finally going to
be meeting Richard’s grandmother for the first time, and she couldn’t help but be nervous.
All she could think about was whether or not his grandmother would like her, and no matter how man
times Richard tried to tell her not to worry about anything, she couldn’t help but worry, especially since
Bianca didn’t stop talking about how picky and overprotective their grandmother was.
“You know, you don’t have to make it so obvious that you’re stressing out, cognata,” Bianca pointed
out with a chuckle.
Richard would turn to look at Amber, noticing that she looked nervous–almost shaky, in fact. “I already
said you have nothing to worry about, Amber. All that talk in the car was typical Bianca trying to scare
you. I can assure you. Nonna isn’t going to have any problems with you,” he assured
her again.
“I should have studied a little more Italian beforeing here,” she muttered to herself, and both
Richard and Bianca stared at her in confusion.
“Hold on a second, sweetheart. Did you by chance try learning thenguage?” Bianca asked.
“I wouldn’t say I learned anything since it was a failed attempt. I did try, though. I spent two hours trying
to learn basic greetings so I won’t make a fool of myself, but I can’t remember most of it Amber
admitted, and Bianca burst into augh while Richard looked away to avoidughing out
loud.
“Here’s some advice. Make sure you mention that to Nonna when you’re speaking to her, and I swear,
she’s going to fall in love with you,” Bianca said.
“Don’t listen to her, babe. Nonna is going to love you regardless,” Richard retorted quickly, and
Bianca rolled her eyes at him. “Now, can we go inside? My legs are killing me already, and we still
have to get back to our apartment.”
“You know how she is, Richard. She doesn’t like technology or is very old with her thoughts. And as
you can see, she doesn’t have a doorbell, which means we have to wait for as long as necessary until

she hears us andes to get the door,” Bianca exined.

Richard scoffed. “For someone who judges me for not caring about my family, you sure don’t seem an
different to me, Bianca. How can you leave an elderly woman in her 80s alone in this house?”
Bianca turned to look at him, ready to go off at her twin, until the door flew open, revealing the face of
Sofia Vitale, Richard’s maternal grandmother.
“If you two are going to keep bickering like children, please go back home,” Sofia hissed, staring
back and forth at both Bianca and Richard.
“Ci scusiamo, Nonna [We apologize, grandma].” Bianca said quickly, knowing very well how feisty her
nonna could get.
Sofia would simply ignore her apology, her eyes meeting the youngdy who stood timidly behind
Richard. She would stare at Amber for a while before turning to look at Richard, with what seemed like
an unimpressed look on her face.
“Is she the one, Pietro?”
“Yes, nonna. She’s the one,” Richard responded, cringing slightly at the use of his middle name.
Amber would immediately realize that Sofia was talking about her, and she nervously met the older
woman’s eye before bowing her head to greet her. “Good afternoon, ma’am. I’m Amber, and it’s nice to
finally meet you,” she said.
Sona simply sighed and, without saying a word, she walked back into the house.
“That’s our cue toe in,” Bianca whispered to Amber before walking in.
Richard took Amber’s hand in his before walking into the house with her. As soon as they walked in,
Amber gasped slightly, holding her hand over her mouth to avoid being too loud.
The interior of the ce was nothing like the exterior because she had expected to see a
normal–looking old house, with old wood and the like, but instead, the house looked pretty modern. I
made her wonder if Bianca knew what she was talking about when she mentioned earlier that the wo
didn’t like technology and had an old mindset.
“What would you like to eat, Amber?” Sofia asked.

Richard, who was feeling frustrated with the tension his grandmother was creating on purpose, decided
he had enough of it. “Nonna, I know what you’re trying to do,” he said.
Sofia turned to look at him with a confused look on her face before asking. “And what is it I’m trying to
do?”
Richard sighed. “I know you have something to say, Nonna. So why don’t you just go ahead and say it?
Amber became confused by the sudden tension in the room, and she tumed to Bianca for help, trying
to understand what was going on. Bianca, who had an amused look on her face, simply signaled
Amber r to say anything and just keep watching them.
“Oh, really, Pietro? Do you want me to speak? About what exactly, my dear? How are you so sure I
have something to say?” Sofia asked, her frown deepening.
“You’re frowning. Nonna, and I know you well enough to know what that look on your face means,”
Richard retorted.
He knew his grandmother would react in some way when she saw him again, and even though thest
thing he wanted was to deal with her drama, he already knew he had no other choice. After all, he had
dealt with her nagging over the phone all these years, so it wouldn’t be a big deal to finally deal
with it in person.
“Tu stupido ragazzo. Did you think I would wee you with open arms just because I haven’t seen
you in years, Pietro? Why would you think I’d be happy to see you? And did you think bringing a
woman would make me a lot more lenient with you?” Sofia snapped, much to Amber’s surprise.
She couldn’t understand what was going on, and she immediately started to feel ufortable.
thinking that she could be the reason why Richard’s grandmother was upset with him.
Did Sofia not like her? Was she that unimpressed? Amber wondered, hoping that wasn’t the case.
“I get why you’re upset, Nonna. I’really do, but for Amber’s sake, please put aside your anger. You’re
making her even more nervous right now,” Richard said, trying to calm her down so that Amber
doesn’t end up freaking out.
“If that’s the case, you get out of my house, and the girl stays. How about that?” Sofia yelled

angrily.
“You can’t be serious, Nonna,” Richard said with a scoff, but before he knew it, Sofia grabbed his wrist
and started to pull him toward the door.
“I’m dead serious, you stupid boy! Get out, and stay out of my house, Pietro. As for you, Bianca, follow
behind him. Only the wife stays!” Sofiamanded, and Amber immediately felt her nerves.
