Chapter 19 Marry Me!

Mia immersed herself in her work. She hadn't seen Alessandro since that day, which gradually convinced her that he believed she wasn't his wife. She felt a huge sense of relief and happiness, knowing she and her children were safe from the monster. However, she had agreed to take the job of designing Alessandro's new home. So, she started working on it diligently. In addition, she had Duke Alexander's apartment to decorate as well. The week flew by, and soon it was the day Adam had to leave for the shooting of his new movie.

Adam insisted that Mia drop him off at the airport. Despite her desire to avoid the limelight and being seen with a movie star, she agreed to accompany him. He had always been there for her and her kids, even though she never asked for his help, and she felt grateful to him.

"Do you know why I wanted you to drop me off?" Adam asked as they headed to the airport, sitting in his Porsche.

"Because you like to bother me," Mia rolled her eyes dramatically, making Adam chuckle.

"No! I never like to bother you, baby," he whispered, leaning closer. "But I wanted to spend some time alone with you before I leave."

"Stop calling me that. I am not your baby," Mia scolded softly, leaning away from him and pushing him back into his seat.

"Then be my baby," Adam said suddenly, his eyes reflecting the sincerity of his words.

Mia felt a wave of nervousness wash over her as he began to speak with genuine seriousness.

"Marry me, Mia Peterson," he demanded authoritatively.
