Only the three of them were dining, yet it was a lively affair.


    “Grazia, many people have sent gifts for you and the child. After dinner, you should take a look,” he said.


    His friends knew Grazia had given birth. Some were too far to visit, while others wanted toe but were refused by him. He felt that at this stage, Grazia and the baby were most vulnerable. He worried they might be in danger, so he firmly declined others’ visitation requests.


    Those people couldn’te, but they still wanted to express their feelings, so they sent many gifts.


    “Goodness, then I absolutely must take a look!” Grazia was eager. She looked at Isabe. “I love the surprise of unwrapping gifts the most.”


    Because the gifts were all wrapped, you never knew what kind of gift you would unwrap. Moreover, thinking that these gifts were all carefully selected by others, carrying their thoughts, Grazia became a bit impatient.


    After dinner, Grazia went to see the gifts, and to her surprise, they filled an entire room.


    “Oh my, this is too much,” she eximed.


    “If I didn’t know how much you enjoy unwrapping gifts yourself, I’d want to help you unwrap them directly,” Ro chuckled.


    “Thank you, Ro. It’s thanks to you that I have so many gifts,” Grazia said, and then began to unwrap the presents.


    It was clear that the gift-givers had put a lot of thought into the presents. Most of the gifts were neatly packaged in boxes, very exquisite. Some were not wrapped, and Ro had the servants sort them out, cing them to the side, so Grazia could see them at a nce.


    “Wow, this is a monitor, you can see what’s inside the children’s room. I never thought about installing a monitor? That’s really good.”


    “And this is a box of diamond ne? Goodness, it’s so beautiful, so delicate, I love it.”


    “And there’s this, outfits for our family of three! Matching outfits, cute dinosaurs. Ro, will you wear it with me?”


    As Grazia unwrapped the gifts, she interacted excitedly with Ro. Ro held the child in his hands, standing by the door, with a gentle expression. Isabe stood beside him.


    She watched Grazia and Ro’s interaction, listened to Grazia’s chatter, and felt a real warmth. Although Grazia would surely think of Andrew, her current life was also very good. She had a husband with whom she got along harmoniously, a lovely child, and Ro had already gainedplete control of Italy. He was very powerful, very formidable, and Grazia didn’t need to worry about any life-threatening danger.


    Isabe was now only worried about Emanuele. Emanuele had sent her to Italy, where she was quite safe, but Emanuele was not safe in Chicago.


    Ah, hopefully Emanuele can resolve things as soon as possible, thene to Italy to take her home.


    Over an hour had passed since Grazia finished unwrapping the gifts, and she was still quite excited. She looked at Isabe. “Isabe, why don’t you pick some to use? There are too many, I can’t possibly use them all.”


    She handed the diamond ne she had just unwrapped to Isabe. “This is for you.”


    Inside the box, the diamond ney quietly, sparkling under the light. Isabe quickly said, “No, I don’t really like wearing jewelry.”


    She couldn’t possibly ept something so precious.


    “No, Isabe, this is my thought for you. You’ve been with me all this time, taking care of me. This is my thought for you, please ept it.”


    “It’s also because Chicago is unsafe that I came to shelter with you. Grazia, I’ve always regarded you as my sister, my friend. When I’m with you, it’s also you apanying me. If I have to ept your gift, what kind of person would I be?”


    Seeing that Isabe wouldn’t ept it, Grazia knew the diamond ne was indeed very precious, but she wished she could give Isabe the best. Perhaps Isabe didn’t know that her arrival had been the happiest time for Graziately. Because she didn’t have many friends in Italy. Although she could receive meticulous care, emotional interaction was still necessary.


    After thinking for a moment, Grazia finally said, “Then you don’t have to take this. You can pick two items from the gifts in this room, just to make me happy, can you?”


    Grazia had already given in, and Isabe wouldn’t be polite anymore.


    “Okay, I’ll pick a few.”


    In the end, Grazia chose a set of cups and a perfume gift box, things she didn’t really need.


    After selecting the gifts, Grazia asked Isabe to apany her for a shopping spree. Today she wanted to be a little extravagant, to indulge in some crazy shopping. After spending so long in the hospital, she felt like she was going crazy. She wanted to go out, to walk around everywhere. Now, she was finally free, so of course, she wanted to indulge a little.


    “Can I go?” Ro asked, holding the child.


    “No, this is a girls’ outing with Isabe and me. Ro, just stay at home and take care of the child,” Grazia said, then pulled Isabe into the car.


    As Ro watched their departing figures, he sighed helplessly. Well, Grazia taking Isabe out for a stroll was also good. He knew Isabe was very worried about Emanuele. Emanuele had just called him, saying he was fine but had been injured and couldn’te to pick up Isabe for a while. He asked Ro to keep Isabe for a while and not to tell her about his injury.


    He agreed.


    He could tell that Emanuele was genuinely in love with Isabe. He had known Emanuele for many years, but it was the first time he had seen him so devoted to a woman. He didn’t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.


    …


    Chicago.


    The night was as dark as a curtain, shrouding the entire world. But the lights inside the VIP ward were still bright.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Outside the VIP ward, the bodyguards were stationed inyers. At this time, a few people walked over, and after a conversation, they let someone in.


    Emanuele was lying on the hospital bed reading a book. He was in slightly better condition now than before, able to move a little more, but still unable to get out of bed casually.


    It was troublesome; the injury to his knee was too serious, and he didn’t know when it would heal.


    Emanuele saw two figures as the hospital room door was pushed open.


    It was Michael and Karen.


    Seeing Emanuele’s condition, tears fell from Karen’s eyes. “Emanuele, are you okay? You look so serious.”


    “I won’t die,” Emanuele said mockingly. “Why are you here?”


    He didn’t want to see Karen.


    “Karen is worried about you, Emanuele. It’s my fault for not keeping an eye on Mathias, letting him cause trouble in your territory,” Michael said.
