Chapter 263
Luca’s POV
“Bunny?” I called out and watched as she nced up at me instantly, blinking up at me.
“James is going to being over to the house tonight.” I informed her because I wanted her to know
beforehand, to avoid her being taken off guard when she’d set her eyes on him – and also because I
wanted her to befortable with it.
“Oh, he is?” She asked after a fleeting second and I nodded my head a little.
“Uh, that’s great. Is heing with someone else?” She asked after a fleeting moment and I started to
shake my head in response. “No, bunny. He’s going toe straight from the office.”
“Is it a meeting between the both of you?” She asked as she kept on peering up at me curiously and I
gave a slow nod of my head.
“Yes, bunny. It’s like a meeting, I have something important to discuss with him, and then he’d be
staying back for dinner once we’d be done with the whole work rted thing.
“Ohhh.” She murmured slowly and I nodded once before hastily pushing myself to my feet, just as Sofia
was already starting to sit up. I held my hand out to her and she ced her hand in it, allowing me to
tug her up. It was already starting to get reallyter than I had nned we’d spend outside here, which
is why we’d have to head back to the house right now – at least, even if we wanted to lie directly
beneath the stars, then we were going to have to do it from our balcony.
Another reason as to why we were heading back home was because of James who was going to be
here anytime soon. I didn’t want to keep him waiting one but because I was getting pretty restless each
thing anything rting to Armsbi makes it’s way into my head.
“You’d carry it back home for me, right?” Sofia started to say beside me and I started to nod my head
as soon as I realized what she meant and what she was referring to.
“Of course, bunny.” I said to her as I reached for her leg and picked the teddy which was positioned
beside her feet, holding it up with one hand as I took her hand in mine and started to make my way
back through the road we came from.
I couldn’t deny the fact that I was a little bit troubled, and the reason being my brother, Armani and my
wife, Sofia. I knew that I hadn''t told her a thing about him, which ispletely unfair to her because
she tells me a whole lot of things about herself, and her family, and I knew damn well that I do not do
the same, when I was actually supposed to. The only thing I was able to tell her about him was that he
was alive, and that was it.
But then, back then, I wasn’t really sure or a thing about him, which was why the words got stock in my
head and I decided to distract her from asking me one questions by touching her body in that particr
spot.
But now, I don’t really think I have that much of an escude because now I was a lot sure that he was
doing perfectly alright. I just know that I might not have been thus bothered and disturbed about the
whole thing if it wasn’t for the fact that he was going to being back home really soon. I couldn’t ask
him to stay back there because I still needed to tell my wife about him, before he’d show his face here
– because it doesn’t even sound right to me to begin with, coupled with the fact that I have genuinely
missed him so much.
I pulled out a deep breath and puffed it out slowly, strengthening my hold on her small fingers in the
next second. Sofia was everything I never envisioned when I was contemting taking a wife before
remembering that I already have a girl that was promised to me ever since she was little. Come to think
of it, I was just realizing that I haven’t told Sofia about my father yet, about our lives growing up and
those kinds of stuff, when she tells me a whole lot of them.
I wish I could tell her, or I wish it was going to be really easy to juste out and say it to her, but then
it wasn’t. If it was someone else, I was a lot sure that I wouldn’t even be bothered for a second about
how he’s feeling, but then this right here, walking along with me and holding my fingers tightly in her
small hand, wasn’t just anybody.
She was Sofia, the one I was married to, the one I cared for, the one who I was starting to… love?
I blinked once as soon as those thoughts started to sink into my head and in the next moment, I was
seriously wishing there wasn’t any kind of teddy bear in my other hand, just so I could use it to tug on
my hair– it was that one bad habits of mine, despite how much I’ve tried to fight against it a couple of

times.
A lot of thoughts were dancing around in my head at once and it was getting super hard for me to focus
on one thing in particr at that particr moment. The wind started to blow really strongly and I
quickly turned my head around to stare down at her as I started to speak. “Are you starting to feel
cold?” I asked her after a moment and watched as she shook around in response.
We continued to make our way towards the house and innno time, we were finally reaching our final
destination and I tugged her up on the stairs in the next moment.
We made our way into the house and I pulled the door closed behind her and locked it. I made my way
straight into my office because I remembered that it was where I had previously left my phone in, while
Sofia along with her teddy said she wanted to go read a book upstairs. Because she didn’t eat lunch
this afternoon and I was starting to worry a little after she had informed me about forming a habit of not
eating a lot of lunch, I made sure she got another drink for the day and took it along with her as she
made her way up the stairs.
As soon as I had gotten my phone, I sank into the seat in the office and phoned James almost
immediately. He picked up on the second ring and said he was going to be here in a few minutes'' time,
and once the call had ended, I nced at the top of the phone to check what the time says, it was
currently almost eight p.m in the night. I started to draft something out absentmindedly and reclined
against my seat, here in the office until my phone started to ring, signifying that James was already
here at the moment. I made my way out of the office in the next second and started to head outside,
and I watched as he dramatically drove through the opened gates. He even took his sweet time to turn
his car around in the middle of the spaciouspound.
When he started to pack the car and I started to make my way towards him, I noticed that the car was
one which I hadn''t seen before.
“New car?” I asked as soon as he stepped out of the car and pushed the door close. He grinned at me
cheekily and held up a bunch of keys at me which he dropped into my outstretched palm, looking smug
as hell, with the smile still stered wide on his face.
“Yes, it is. It’s a gift.” He responded to me after a few moments, and I blinked up at him with a small
chuckle.
“A gift to yourself, hm? You deserve all the gifts in the world, man.” I said to him in the next second and
watched as he let out a small snort at first before starting to roll his eyes.
“What? No. A gift from myself to myself? No.” It’s a freaking gift from one of my… acquaintances.” He
informed me and I barked out a smallugh the next moment.
“Of course it is, I should have thought of this at first, because if I’m being right then you have a lot of
cars which you bought randomly and not as a gift to yourself, which was why I was a little bit taken
aback at first.” I exined to him as I dropped the bunch of keys into his opened palm and I watched as
he tapped on a button that shut the car automatically in the next second, without taking his eyes off my
face.
“Exactly.” James paused at first before continuing, “and besides? I Think I have something like this, the
version before this one, this particr one is the losttestbel out there.
