“Grazia, don’t be nervous. Perhaps things aren’t as bad as you imagine,” Isabe firmly believed that as long as they persisted and didn’t give up, they could find a way out.


    Grazia nodded, looking much better under Isabe’sfort.


    They arrived at the restaurant, and after a while, Ro appeared.


    “Hello.” Ro greeted Grazia with a smile and shook hands with her.


    He then turned to Isabe and shook hands with her, saying, “You must be Mrs. Lombardi.”


    “Hello.”


    Although Isabe had seen Ro before, her attention had never been focused on him. Today, she took a careful look at Ro.


    He didn’t differ much from her memory. He looked cold, suspicious, and though handsome, a scar on his face made him somewhat intimidating.


    At this moment, he wore a smile, but it couldn’t entirely mask his seemingly cruel demeanor.


    If Emanuele looked ferocious, like a tiger watching its prey, Ro was more like a venomous snake, inducing fear in those who saw him.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    This kind of man, even someone like her who often stayed by Emanuele’s side and had seen all sorts of people, would find him intimidating.


    How could he make women fall for him? Especially whenpared to Andrew, who was entirely different. Grazia would find it hard to like a man like Ro, wouldn’t she?


    Isabe couldn’t help but feel a twinge of worry for Grazia.


    She cautiously looked at Grazia, who was clearly nervous.


    “Grazia, this isn’t our first meeting. We’ve met a few times before. However, this is our first meeting as an engaged couple. How do you feel?” Ro asked Grazia directly, despite her nervousness.


    “I… I feel a bit uneasy. I didn’t expect us to get married…” Grazia felt a bit overwhelmed, especially under Ro’s scrutinizing gaze.


    It was as if she were a criminal.


    “It’s okay. I believe you’ll get used to it soon.” Ro reassured, holding Grazia’s hand on the table.


    Isabe sat beside Grazia and felt Grazia’s body tremble slightly when Ro held her hand.


    She was clearly frightened.


    Isabe frowned and looked at the man in front of her. Unable to hold back, she said, “Um, Mr. Gallo…”


    “Just call me Ro.” Ro interrupted Isabe. His blue eyes stared at her.


    However, despite having the same blue eyes, Ro’s and rk’s were entirely different. rk’s eyes were sunny and warm, while Ro’s were gloomy.


    “Ro,” Isabe forced a smile, “I heard about you and Grazia. It seems sudden. Grazia’s husband just passed away, and we are still immersed in grief. At this moment, if you want to be with Grazia, you should learn how to pursue a girl properly.”


    She wanted to remind Ro not to be too sudden with Grazia. Grazia’s husband had passed away not long ago, and she hadn’t recovered from her grief.


    Ro seemed to understand Isabe’s words; he nodded, “Isabe, don’t worry. I’ll give Grazia some time to adapt. We can get married in a month or two, no problem.”


    Too fast! Isabe marveled. Two strangers getting married in just two months? She wondered if Grazia would go crazy! How could she forget Andrew and develop feelings for Ro in two months?


    “Ro, why do you have time toe over today?” Grazia changed the subject, asking.


    He usually stayed in Italy. Did hee over just because he wanted to see her and build a connection?


    “Emanuele needs a shipment of weapons, and I helped him transport them. I happened toe and see you, Grazia. Chicago is indeed a nice ce, but of course, Italy has its own beauty. I hope you’ll like it when you go there,” Ro exined.


    Grazia wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. Eventually, she managed a smile that looked worse than crying. “Uh, I’ve always lived in Chicago. I’ve traveled to Europe a few times over the years, but I’ve never been to Italy.”


    Isabe, watching Grazia in this state, felt a bit anxious. It was the first time she had seen Grazia speak so little. She remembered their first meeting, where Grazia held her hand and talked a lot.


    Grazia was feeling awkward, and Isabe felt the need to help her. She wanted to sabotage this marriage; she felt it was necessary. Regardless of why Emanuele wanted Grazia to marry Ro, she couldn’t bear to see Grazia so upset.


    “Ro, I heard you were married to your previous wife for many years, and your rtionship was good. She unexpectedly passed away. Do you still miss her?” Isabe asked.


    Hearing Isabe’s question, Ro, who had a smile on his face a moment ago, now had it vanish.


    On the other side, Emanuele was busy dealing with matters when Phillip walked in and said, “Boss, it’s not good. Your wife is with your sister and Mr. Gallo.”


    Emanuele’s heart skipped a beat.


    When he handed over the weapons to Ro today, he mentioned that he arranged for Grazia to meet them. At that time, Emanuele didn’t think much of it, assuming they would just meet.


    But now, Phillip said that Isabe also went to meet them. Grazia was getting to know Ro and talking about their rtionship. What was Isabe doing there?


    Thinking about Isabe’s concern for Grazia and her reluctance for Grazia to marry Ro, Emanuele had a bad feeling.


    He immediately told Phillip to drive him to the coffee shop.


    Soon, the car arrived at the coffee shop. Emanuele got out of the car, and he heard Isabe questioning Ro about his previous marriage.


    Emanuele suddenly felt tense. Grazia and Ro were in the process of connecting, talking about their rtionship. What was Isabe doing there?


    He quickly had Phillip drive him to the coffee shop.


    When they arrived, Emanuele got out of the car and immediately heard Isabe asking Ro about his previous marriage.


    Emanuele felt his body tense up. Looking at Ro’s lost smile and Isabe’s bold questions, he couldn’t help but think, how did Isabe manage to ask anything that just came to her mind?


    Of course, he med himself for not exining Ro’s situation more clearly to Isabe, leading to her making such a mess.


    “Isabe,” Emanuele called out, breaking the oppressive atmosphere between them.


    Isabe just realized she said something wrong. Ro looked so murderous that if she were an ordinary person, she might have gone to hell by now.


    This person seemed more terrifying than Emanuele.


    Fortunately, at this moment, Emanuele arrived, interrupting the tense atmosphere between them.


    Emanuele walked briskly over and sat next to Ro. “How’s the conversation going?”


    “Very well,” Ro replied with a slight smile. “I just discovered that your wife has quite a curious mind.”


    “Sorry, you know, she used to be an ordinary college student. She doesn’t know the rules of this circle.”


    “No problem. I think it’s good this way-innocent, kind, warm-hearted. Aren’t these thingscking in our world?” Ro took a sip of coffee and then stood up. “Grazia, how about we go for a walk outside?”


    He directly addressed Grazia, making it clear that he didn’t want Isabe and Emanuele to tag along. He needed some one-on-one time.
