Matteo stepped closer, his dark gaze peering deep into Emily's eager eyes as he rasped in his deep voice. "Do you want me to come home with you, douce?"
The question was simple, yet so intimate that Emily fell herself lost in the moment.
"I... L.." she began, her voice faltering, caught between her thoughts and the spellbinding presence of the charming attorney.
"You what, bébe?" Matteo whispered, gently tucking a stray strand of her silky caramel hair behind her car. his gaze never leaving her.
Her pulse quickened, and she bit her lower lip shyly, dropping her gaze to avoid the intensity of his stare. "I thought... I thought it was late, and maybe you'd prefer to go home too," she murmured softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "No, douce, I have some urgent work I need to finish tonight," Matteo said briefly, but his focused gaze softened slightly when he saw Emily's face fall. He quickly added, "But if you want, I can drop you off at my place first and then head to the office." Emily shook her head. "No, it's fine."
"Don't worry, chérie," he husked with a teasing smirk. "If you miss me too much, just call, and I'll come right back."
Emily's eyes widened, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
"In your dreams, Mr. Vinci," she snapped, rolling her eyes dramatically, which made Matteo chuckle softly. He marveled at how easily she could lift his mood, even in stressful moments, with just a few words or beautiful expressions. "All right, enough joking." His tone shifted, becoming more serious. "Go home and stay safe. Don't hesitate to call me if anything feels off. The bodyguards will be there for your safety."
Emily nodded as his demeanor turned protective. Matteo gently took her hand, guiding her to the car waiting to escort her to his apartment. He opened the back door for her, waiting until she was seated comfortably before closing it with care. He then stepped aside, giving his bodyguard a quick rundown of the security protocols. Only after ensuring everything was in order, Matteo stepped back watching as the driver and guards took their positions in the front.

Alessandro had been acting distant for the past few days, his usual warmth replaced by something troubled. He hadn't shared wltat was bothering him, and that only deepened her worry. After struggling for so long, they had finally found love and trust in their marriage, and now, just a month later, he seemed. to be pulling away again.
She couldn't share those moments with Alessandro when she was pregnant with Gia and Maximo, but this time she wanted to experience all the couple things they could do during pregnancy. When she went to her check-ups alone the first time, she often felt sad and envious, seeing other pregnant women with their husbands or boyfriends, and how their partners took care of them.
Because of all the misunderstandings in the past, she couldn't experience those special moments with Alessandro during her first pregnancy. But this time, now that she was pregnant again, she longed for him to be with her at every check-up, every appointment with the gynecologist. She wanted them to go shopping together for their baby, and she hoped he'd be there for her, helping with her mood swings and satisfying her midnight cravings.
But instead, it seemed she was the one dealing with his mood swings-far more than any pregnant woman ever had. She sighed heavily
"Mom, you're going to be late for your check-up." Maximo reminded her, pulling her out of her thoughts.
She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. Her mood was low, and the last thing she wanted was to go to the doctor alone, facing those pitiful glances.
Just as if Maximo could read her mind, he said, "Mom, I know Daddy's been busy with work lately, but I can take you to the doctor. After all, I'm a big boy now, and I'll be six next month!"
Mia smiled at her little boy. "Aww, thank you, honey. Mom knows she has nothing to worry her strong boy is with her," she praised, making Maximo grin widely.
about when
"Alright, Mom, I've packed all the reports and taken your purse. You just need to get ready," Maximo suggested proudly.
Mia wanted to refuse to go to the doctor, but seeing his happy smile, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Where's Gia?" she asked tenderly.
"Oh, yeah! She's getting ready," Maximo replied, nodding toward the kids' room. "She's coming with us too," he added confidently.
Mia smiled, overwhelmed with love and pride at how responsible her children were, far beyond their years. Just then, Gia appeared, twirling in a bright red frock, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Mom, you didn't get ready? We will be late!" Gia whined cutely, her hands on her hips.
"I'm already ready, sweetie. Mia replied, a hint of weariness in her voice.
She didn't feel like changing her dress, especially for a doctor's appointment where there was no need to retouch her makeup. She was simply too tired to care about her appearance.
"Let's go then!" Maximo chimed in, picking up all their things and taking Mia's hand as if supporting her to get up. Mia's heart warmed at the sight of her little boy, a miniature version of her husband.
As they stood and turned toward the door, they saw Alessandro walking in. His expression furrowed, and his eyes questioned them.
