Chapter 345


    Luca’s POV


    It was finally a Monday morning, and as usual, it was hard to get out of the bed because of Sofia who


    was in it, but I ended up leaving it after kissing her head and tucking the bedsheets around her. I


    worked out a little that morning and was ready to leave the house in no time.


    Sofia hade awake at a certain point when I had been dressing up, and that was when I


    remembered what I had been about to tell her.


    When I lifted her in my arms because she always felt like it was where she belonged, with her hands


    around my shoulders and her legs around my waist. I was nuzzling into her throat and breathing in her


    sweet scent before starting to speak.


    “Bunny?” I mused and she let out a small sound to indicate that she was listening.


    “Remember when we talked about your brother?” I asked and she was pulling back to stare into my


    face almost immediately as she nodded her head.


    “Yeah, I do.” Her eyes were widened a little and it was obvious that she hadn’t expected the


    conversation to be about her brother right now.


    I leaned forward and pressed a kiss against the underside of her jaw at first, and then I breathed out. “I


    felt how much you loved him, and how tight your bond was with him– which is why I have arranged for


    him toe see you… today.”


    Her eyes widened some more and her hands were sping her mouth tight in the next moment, she


    was trembling against me a little which was very obvious that she was really shocked right now, as well


    as excited.


    “Really?” She finally wispered, obviously still dinging it really hard to believe and I let out a low hum as I


    nodded my head at her.


    “Can you do that?” She whispered next and I snorted.


    “I can do anything, bunny. All you have to do is to ask.” I informed her, and a fleeting momentter, a


    muffled sound was slipping past her lips right as she wrapped my arms around my shoulders in a really


    tight hug. Her shoulders were shaking a little just as muffled sobs kept slipping out her throat.


    “Shh… bunny, don’t cry.” I paused with a small grimace. “I don’t like it when you cry.” I wrapped my


    hand around her head to pull her head out of my shoulder.


    She blinked wetshes as she stared down at me, and sniffed a little, there was also a small smile on


    her face. “They’re happy tears.” She argued as she sniffed once again.


    “Regardless, I don’t like it when you cry.” I murmured as I kissed a trail of tears on her cheeks, which


    made her smile brighten.


    “Thank you so much, Luca.” She paused. “When you said you were going to make him see me, I didn’t


    ever thing it could be this fast, thank you so, so much.” The sincerity was stark obvious in her voice as


    she spoke.


    “Of course, bunny.” I murmured as I brushed a kiss over her soft cheek.


    ———


    Right before Luca left for work and I had given him ast hug, I had informed him that there was


    something I wanted to discuss with himter that night. He had wanted to know what it was about but I


    had refused to spill, because it wasn’t a topic that was discussed about briskly.


    After he had left, I hastily took my bath and spent most of my morning arranging my studio. The fact


    that I was going to be seeing Angelo today still felt so unreal, but I knew it was indeed happening


    because Luca had sent Ethan to go bring him.


    My excitement was really excited right now and I really couldn’t wait to see him. Angelo was so strong,


    and like me, had had to grow up really faster than his age. I knew he was going to be worried me when


    I had left with Luca on my wedding day and is most likely still worried for me till date, which is why I


    really wanted to see him so I’d reassure him that I wasn’t suffering here with Luca and was instead


    living like a princess.


    When Ryan came around after some time, it wasn’t long before we were casually engaged in a


    conversation while I worked. I liked how obvious it was between us that our rtionship had be


    more tonicpared to how it was before, and I wished it wasn’t so forbidden for him to form an


    informal friendship with me.


    When he offered to help me out, I had agreed instantly because in as much as he doesn’t talk much,


    he was still a really greatpany, at least,pared to nothing.

    When I caught him staring at me at a point, I had shook my head andughed a little before engaging


    into another long train of conversation with him. He hadplimented how nice I looked and I had


    thanked him instantly, returning thepliment right back without hesitation.


    “What do you think about this?” I asked as I held one painting up for him to see.


    “It’s really beautiful, it’s really unbelievable to see how fast you’ve gotten so good at this.” He


    responded in a low voice and I felt a small color stain my cheeks at hispliment, it doesn’t matter


    how much time I’ve beenplimented about this, it was always going to make me shy, no matter


    what.


    “Thank you,” I mumbled as I turned around to hang it up. Ryan was beside me after a moment.


    “Allow me…”


    And he was taking the painting out of my hold and hanging it on a higher and better spot on the wall.


    “Thank you,” I breathed out as I nced up at him and he only nodded in response as he shoved his


    hands into his pockets.


    A few minutester and Ryan’s phone was vibrating, and after checking, he informed me that Ethan


    was already here with Angelo.
