Grazia then took Nichs in her arms. It had been some time, and Isabe noticed how much Nichs had grown.


    Children are like that, growing up so quickly in their early years.


    Isabe immediately took Nichs from Grazia’s arms. Nichs, seeing Isabe, broke into an adorable smile.


    “God, Nichs is so adorable,” Isabe eximed, reaching out to pinch Nichs’s chubby cheeks.


    The child’s cheeks were tender and smooth, just like pudding, making Isabe feel as though her heart had instantly softened.


    “Goodness, why does the world have such adorable creatures as babies? Look at his twinkling blue eyes, those long eyshes, and his mouth moving as if he wants milk.”N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    He was so pure, so lovely.


    “Let me have a look,” Emanuele walked over to Isabe’s side, catching sight of his nephew.


    At that moment, this usually cold man’s heart seemed to soften.


    Indeed, a very, very cute baby. Emanuele reached out and touched the baby’s cheek.


    Nichs looked at Emanuele and suddenly burst into tears.


    Isabe immediately panicked andforted Nichs, telling Emanuele, “You’re too harsh; you’ve frightened him.”


    “Am I really that harsh?”


    Emanuele couldn’t help but touch his own cheek. Indeed, when he had no expression, he did appear quite stern.


    However, he felt he had been as gentle as possible in front of Nichs. He hadn’t expected the little baby to be so afraid of him.


    Emanuele felt aggrieved: “Isabe, I don’t think I’m that harsh.”


    “Perhaps it’s your demeanor, Emanuele. You look even more stern than Ro at first; when Ro first interacted with Nichs, he would cry too, but now he’s used to it.”


    Babies are sensitive to the aura of people; some babies are shy, and it’s rare for a baby like Nichs to be so unsuspicious. However, he also gets scared of adults who appear fierce.


    Isabe cradled Nichs, singing nursery rhymes to him. Her voice was gentle, her eyes shining as she watched Nichs smile, making everyone present feel as though Isabe were an angel.


    “Isabe, you really look like a mother,” Grazia couldn’t help but marvel.


    She was Nichs’s mother, but seeing Isabe cradle and soothe Nichs, she felt Isabe seemed like a mother too.


    This youngdy’s aura had changed. At first, she seemed so youthful and vibrant, but now Isabe’s demeanor had be gentle and somewhat mature.


    Thinking back to when Isabe had a miscarriage, Grazia couldn’t help but think that Isabe must really want a child.


    Emanuele’s thoughts echoed Grazia’s.


    Watching Isabe tenderly soothe the child, singing gentle lubies, Nichs gradually calmed down, even bing drowsy.


    For some reason, Emanuele’s heart ached terribly, as if it were being cut open with a knife, a continuous pain that made him feel very ufortable.


    It constantly reminded him that once, Isabe also had a child. At this moment, Isabe’s child had been born, and could have been a sibling to Grazia’s child. Unfortunately, it was his failure to protect Isabe, to provide her with enough protection, that led to the loss of their child.


    Now Isabe had psychological scars. Whenever he mentioned wanting a child with Isabe, she refused. This matter had be a knot in Isabe’s heart.


    Emanuele didn’t know what he could do to help Isabe move on.


    Isabe handed Nichs back to Grazia, who carried him back to the nursery to sleep peacefully. Then, she came out to chat with Isabe and Emanuele.


    Grazia shared with Emanuele the experiences with Nichs when he was born, moments Emanuele had missed while dealing with the affairs in Chicago. Now, Grazia could only recount those moments herself.


    Emanuele listened attentively. In the past, he had little interest in children. Even when others brought their children to him to y, he remained disinterested. But now, perhaps because this child belonged to Grazia, his own sister, Emanuele inexplicably found himself very fond of the child. He also wanted to have a child of his own.


    Unfortunately, he had lost a child before. Now, he and Isabe avoided discussing the matter.


    They chatted for a while, and then Isabe excused herself to the bathroom.


    Grazia immediately said to Emanuele, “Emanuele, you see, Nichs is so cute and well-behaved. Ro and I both love him, and we will protect him with our lives. You and Isabe should have a child as soon as possible.”


    “Isabe has not yet moved on from her past trauma”Slowly does it, but, Emanuele, you’re a man, you need to take the initiative. Isabe likes you a lot, and you like her. Now that things in Chicago have stabilized, I think you two can get along well and have a child. She has inner wounds now, and the arrival of a child might make her happier.”


    Emanuele nodded, his well-defined fingers intertwined tightly, showing how hard he was trying to control his emotions.


    Will it really be like this? But he knew Isabe very well. If she were to get pregnant before her internal wounds had healed, it would be a terrible thing.


    After Isabe returned from the bathroom, Grazia stopped discussing the matter with Emanuele.


    In the evening, Grazia had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.


    Seeing Isabe and Emanuele finally, Grazia was very happy.


    “How many days are you nning to stay in Italy? It’s not often youe, so why not stay for a month?”


    “We can only stay for a week; there’s a lot of work to handle, and Isabe has just started working again.”


    “Really? Isabe, where are you working now?”


    “I’m helping members of the Mafia with their injuries. It’s really tough,” Isabe said.


    “God, Isabe, you’re amazing,” Grazia felt that people like Isabe were the true Mafia queen. She could help Emanuele, unlike herself, who seemed unable to do anything except for pleasure.


    “I wish I had your abilities.”


    Isabe shook her head, “Grazia, I too envy you for having such a lovely baby, for bing a mother.”


    As Isabeughed, she felt a slight bitterness in her eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became tinged with sadness.
