Chapter 296
Luca’s POV
“That was all a misunderstanding.” Armani groaned out while shooting me a narrowed gaze at me,
feeling a little bit attacked, because that was obvious what all what I had previously said I had meant –
but then, I was referring to myself as well and not just to him.
I rolled my eyes a little in the next moment and puffed out a deep breath, and then I started to speak as
soon as my eye was back to focusing on him.
“Damn, you grew up to be one hot motherfucker.” I stated as I nced at him intently, noting how his

bulging bicep looked right here with no piece of material covering it from an open view. He had
obviously been spending a whole lot of time at the gym, almost like the way I do, which was definitely
why he was able to achieve this kind of body for himself.
“Aish, stop saying that, it isn’t true.” Armani started to say in the next moment as he grinned a little and
turned away from me after a few moments. His back was also ripped as fuck. It wasn’t as ripped as
mine, but it was still a lot ripped like this, and it honestly looks so good on him.
I don’t know why but it has actually never ever crossed my mind that he could be ripped. I mean, that
might probably be because of the fact that my brain had still been imagining him as someone still really
young and not this matured and grown up.
“Okay, I’m guessing this is the part where I’m supposed to go fetch you some clothes of mine, hm?” I
started to speak after a couple of minutes as I dragged my fingers through my hair really slowly.
“Yeah, exactly. I was already starting to wonder if you had already forgotten about that.” Armani started
to speak as he instantly turned back around until he was staring at me once again. His brown curls
were hanging around his forehead and eyes, and the sides of his head and he looked really soft in that
particr moment. His eyes weren''t as red rimmed as it was before, immediately after he had stopped
crying, but his eyelids were still a little bit puffy at the moment and that was all.
“I didn’t, I didn’t. It just kind of almostpletely skipped my mind.” I said to him with a small eye roll
and a small smile starting to tug at the side of my lips.
After a few seconds had passed with him scoffing a little, I decided to continue. “I’ll head out right now,
and I’ll go get some stuff for you. I’ll be right back.”
“Alright, and please don’t stay too long.” He called out as I made to push the door open and I paused
for a moment, slowly turned back around until I was staring at him, and then I started to speak. “Is
anything the matter, Armani?”
“Oh, no. There’s no problem, it’s just me who wants you to be back really fast so that you can give me
the stuff and go back downstairs to your wife… you know you kind of jest her there all by herself for a
while now, which is kind of bad, you know?” He continued to speak with little shrugs of his shoulders
every here and there. As soon as his words were sinking into my head, I realized that all what he had
said was indeed what was supposed to be said, and that I had honestlypletely forgotten about her
all these while.
“Shit.” I cursed in a low voice as I instantly stepped out of the bedroom and pulled the door close after
me. I made my way straight for my bedroom and made my way into it as soon as I had tugged the door
open. I headed into the walk-in closet and shuffled through my casual wears until I had ended up with a
handful of stuff, and then I turned back around and headed back out of the bedroom, straight towards
his bedroom. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time with him this time. As soon as I was sure that he was ok
and that he was going to be alright, I bid him a good night''s rest and headed straight for the dining
room almost immediately. I was feeling somehow guilty that I had managed to spend that much time
with my brother, whilepletely forgetting that I had a wife waiting for me downstairs, in the dining
room.
Thinking about it alone is making me feel really bad and the fact that I knew without even checking the
time, that I had undoubtedly spent over thirty minutes up there with my brother. Granted, it was all
important things that we had been settling and talking about together, but it didn’t excuse the fact that I
was in the wrong for keeping her waiting for this long tne wxy I had obviously done.
I pushed the doors of the dining room open and stepped into it, and the fact that she was still sitting in
her seat, in the one she had always used, made me feel even more bad as I stared straight at her at
that moment. She also nced up at me in that particr moment – she had previously been doing
something on her phone, thank heavens for that, and as soon as our eyes locked, I watched as her
face brightened up in the next moment. There was no trace of anger, or frustration on her face at being
left to sit here all by herself for a while now, nor was she sulky at the moment like I had somehow
thought she was going to be. She had a bright facial expression on and the most perfect looking smile
I’ve ever seen which was directed towards me, as I made my way towards her, pulling the door of the
dining room shut.
“Bunny…” I started to murmur, feeling my heart clench against my rib cages when her smile got even
wider in the next moment, right before my eyes.
“I’m so sorry I left you here all by yourself, bunny.” I started to speak as I moved closer to her and
finally got to the side of her seat. I pulled her out of her seat and she stood up eagerly, staring up at me
with the most mesmerizing eyes I’ve ever seen. I scooped her up into my arms, listening to her startled
squeal as soon as she registered what I had done. I wrapped my arms firmly around her and sank into
my seat, the one I had vacated since God knows when, and then I ced her astride my thighs, with
both her legsing to dangle at both sides of my waist, with her front facing me directly.
I spanned her whole back and waist with my fingers in the next moment, tugging her closer against me
and then I started to speak once again.
“I’m so sorry I kept you waiting, bunny. I didn’t know I was going to end up spending that long…”
I ended up trailing off when she leaned heavily against me, pressing her soft, curved body against mine
hare one and sliding her arm around my shoulders as she obviously tried to get even closer to me. She
felt so perfect against me in that particr moment, with her smaller body on mine, fitting oh so
perfectly against me in a way that was making it a little bit hard for me to remember what it was that I
had previously been saying, before I had ended up trailing off.
“It’s okay, I know you were doing something important with him upstairs.” Her sweetened and sugary
voice started to hum around me as she spoke directly against a spot on my shoulders, and my arms
manages to unconsciously tighten around her as her words sank into my head. I felt her move around a
little on my thigh, probably to get morefortable, and after a few moments, she was done squirming
around and was finally starting to speak.
“And besides, he’s still new to all these, I think he deserves to steal you from me for all the time he
wants, I’llpletely understand.” She lifted her head off my shoulder and stared into my face the next
moment.
“And honestly? I don’t even have to understand, even though I’ll still understand. But, I meant that, it
doesn’t have to first of all be fine by me before you’d agree to spend some time with your brother.” She
paused and puffed out a deep breath thatsted for a long couple of seconds.
“You both have a whole lot of catching up to do and a lot of talking to do, and I’m guessing there’s also
a lot of needed closure to seek as well, you’re both going to be needing all the time in the world, so
that’s perfectly fine.” She trailed off and moved her fingers through a little curl hanging at the side of her
ear.
“Anyways, at least you’re here now.” She finally continued and I felt myself grinning a little at that
statement.
“So, did you miss me?” I asked in a low voice as I leaned my face a little bit forward and nuzzled at her
exposed throat.
