Chapter 291
Luca’s POV
“Thank you, Sarah.” Armani said to Sarah with a warm smile ying across his lips as soon as Sarah
set his te before him, a few moments ago. Sarah smoke back at him instantly and whispered
something to him and after caffe more seconds, she was heading out of the dining room and closing
the door behind her. Sofia was sitting at my right hand side and Armani was sitting directly before her,
at the other side of the table, the exact spot where James had sat in, some days ago when he had
We all started to eat after a few moments and my eyes kept straying back to Sofia every few minutes,
but nothing seemed to be off around her, she seemed to be doing just fine and she was also eating her
food just fine. There wasn’t a lot of conversation going around the three of us who were currently sitting
around the table, which was pretty fine by me.
The quiet was also very good, it made more room in my head for me to be able to cradle my thoughts
against my insides without it being disrupted by something someone might be saying to me or around
me assuming a conversation was currently flying around.
“Have you registered your new number yet?” I asked Armani after a few seconds and I watched as he
shrugged his shoulders and started to shake his head at me almost immediately, right before he started
to speak.
“No, not yet. I think I’ll stay up a little to be able to do that tonight.”
“Hm.” I hummed a little as I nodded my head once, and I nced back at Sofia after a few seconds. It
didn’t matter that all she was doing was atering pointedly at her food and slowly inserting each spoon of
food into her mouth. I still found what she was currently doing so damn mesmerizing that I just couldn’t
help but keep looking at her every few minutes.
“Do you have any friends that know you’reing over to Italy today?” I asked as soon as I had
averted my face from Sofia’s face to settle it on Armani’s.
I watched as Armani shrugged his shoulders a little, right before he started to speak.
“Well, not really.” He finally responded.
“No one?” I asked after a couple of moments, narrowing my eyes at him a little. He nodded his head
after a few moments, still staring pointedly at his food.
“Yeah, no one.” He finally echoed out.
“Ok, that’s good then.” I breathed out after a couple of moments.
“We’ll talk a lot more about more of this tomorrow. Alright?” I said to him after a couple of moments had
passed and I watched as Armani started to nod his head in the next moment, as he moved a little in his
seat.
“Yeah, alright.”
“Did youe with anything?” I asked him after some time as I inserted a forkful of food into my mouth
and chewed on the softness of the food really slowly, trying to savor the food really well.
“No, I didn’t. You asked me not to, remember?” Armani started to speak after some time and I breathed
out a deep breath and returned my fork back to my te.
“Oh yeah, I really did.” I finally started to speak, nodding my head a little right before I continued.
“I’ll have to find you stuff in which you can sleep in, and what you can dress in tomorrow. You’d have to
go shopping for some things tomorrow or the day after.” I paused and dragged a deep breath into my
lungs.
“Would I go outside? Like to the mall? I thought you said I was going to staypletely indoors for my

own safety…?” Armani asked after a few moments, blinking at me confusingly.
“You might not, it could be easily sent to one of the guards and that’s that, I don’t think you’d have to go
outside one bit.” I finally responded to him.
“That’s all good then.” Armani finally spoke after a few minutes and I hummed a little without saying a
thing. I nced at Sofia to find her still engrossed with staring down at her food. At this point, she
wasn’t even eating anymore, she was just staring nkly at it without doing a thing.
I puffed out a deep breath and nced up at Armani who was busy staring at something on his phone,
and as soon as I was sure that he wasn’t staring at me in that moment, I sat up and puffed out a low
deep breath, and then I stretched my hand out and ced it on top Sofia‘s thighs after a few moments.
I felt her jolt instantly, as soon as I ced my hand on her bare thigh firmly. I puffed out a low hum and
stared at her pointedly when she turned her head around to stare at me instantly.
I tightened my hold on her bare thigh really slowly, with our eyes locked together and I watched as she
puffed out a slow breath and sat up almost immediately. Her eyes dropped to stare at my hand gripping
her bare thigh for a moment right before she averted her gaze and puffed out a slow breath. After a
fleeting moment, her eyes were lifting off the table to flicker towards Armani who was still checking out
something on his phone.
I gave her another knowing, pointed look as I tightened my hold on her thigh and started to knead on
the silk ness of her bare thigh. She breathed out a slow breath and fluttered her eyes a little, and her
hand was reaching down to grab at my wrist in the next moment.
I stared at her for a while longer, wondering if she wanted me to stop or not. I couldn’t ask her that at
this very moment because of the extra person who’s sitting right here, but then I couldn’t bring myself
to continue to do something to her that she might not like. And so, I decided to retrieve my hand back
to myself. The only thing was that, as soon as I had started to tug my hand off her tight, her grip around
my wrist tightened in the next moment, preventing me from going any further in that moment.
I stared at her pointedly at that, chewing on my lower lips a little as I stared at her pointedly for a while
longer. She squirmed a little, and ducked her head in the next second.
“Sofia… are you alright?” I asked her audibly after some moments and I watched as she instantly lifted
her head up and started to nod her head at me, her hand back to gripping her spoon really firmly once
again.
“Uh, yeah. I am.” She reasoned, swallowing down emptily as she started to nod her head. She reached
for her ss of drink and lifted it to her lips, taking a few sips of it– and I decided to start to move the
tips of my fingers a little against the inside of her thighs. She choked a little in the next moment and
was returning the ss of drink back to the table, refusing to nce at me as she tried to get her little
coughing fits under control.
“Are you alright?” Armani was the one to speak to this time, and I noticed that there was a little bit of
worry painted out on his face.
Sofia started to nod her head in response in the next moment as she moved around in her seat a little,
right before she started to speak. “Yeah, I am.”
And after a few moments had passed, Sofia decided to add a quiet ‘thank you’ to him, and he
reassured her about it being nothing.
We were all finally done eating after a while, and I noticed that we had all been unable to eat all the
content on our tes, well, except Armani. He cleared off his tepletely and was currently
leaning back against the backrest of his seat, as he dragged a deep breath into his longs every few
seconds.
“Oh my, I’ve missed this so much.” Armani was the one go break the silence with those few words or
his and I felt myself twisting my lips around the corners of my mouth a little, as I flickered my gaze
sideways until I was staring at him.
“Miss what? The food?” I asked him after a couple of moments.
“Damn right, yeah. I’ve missed it so much. I had no idea I had missed it this much until tonight.” Armani
started to speak almost immediately, and he paused for a bit before continuing.
“You know, because it’s been really long since I had this, it kind ofpletely skipped my brain. But it’s
sooooo good,” He trailed off and stared down at his empty te for a moment before flicking his gaze
back to my face, and then he continued. “Sarah is such a good cook.” He finally concluded.
“Sarah didn’t make that though, it’s all Matilda.” Sofia supplied a fleeting momentter and my head
and Armani’s all turned around to stare at her at the same time.
