"But you said he would come if we had dinner on time. Now dinner is over, and he still hasn't come," Gia complained, her little face forming a pout of disappointment.

Mia sighed, her brow furrowing as she gazed at her daughter. She couldn't understand why Alessandro hadn't shown up. He never broke his promises, especially not te Gia and Maximo. What could have kept him so occupied? She debated calling him, wanting to know, yet hesitant to pry into his business.

After yesterday's harrowing incident, Mia grappled with conflicting thoughts about Alessandro's in her children's lives. While they craved a father figure, having someone like him around also meant living under a constant shadow of danger and threats to their safety. "I'm going to call him," Gia declared stubbornly.

"Sweetie, no..." Mia tried to stop her, but Gia didn't wait and snatched the phone from the bedside table, dialing Alessandro's number. The phone continued to ring, and Gia waited with hope in her heart. After several rings, Alessandro finally answered the phone, "Hello?!"
