Husband Novel 341

Chapter 341 Meeting His Family

As the car came to a halt at the grand entrance gate of the Morelli mansion, Sofia could feel her heart pounding relentlessly against her chest as if desperately trying to escape. Its rapid beats echoed in her ears, matching the speed of a launching rocket. The anticipation of meeting her in-laws for the first time since their wedding made her incredibly nervous. During the ceremony, there had been little opportunity for meaningful interaction, leaving her feeling somewhat unprepared for this momentous occasion.

As she stepped out of the car, Sofia's legs trembled with an intensity that threatened to destabilize her balance. She took a deep breath, summoning every ounce of courage within her, and silently reassured herself that she could handle this encounter. She could survive it. With newfound determination, she exhaled slowly, willing her nerves to settle.

The massive gate began to swing open, revealing a breathtaking sight before her eyes. Beyond the entrance, a picturesque garden unfolded, captivating her senses. A meticulously crafted marble stone path meandered through the lush expanse, leading the way to the imposing mansion. On either side of the lane, an array of vibrant, exotic flowers bloomed, their colorful petals dancing in harmonious symphony. Sofia found herself utterly enchanted by the sheer beauty and impeccable upkeep of the garden.

If she were not consumed by her nerves at that moment, Sofia would have savored the captivating scenery that surrounded the Morelli mansion. However, her anxiety had momentarily overtaken her, making it difficult for her to appreciate the breathtaking landscape fully. The sleek black car came to a halt in front of the grand porch of the mansion. Mark was the first to step out of the vehicle. As the car doors swung open, she caught the sound of the doors of the other cars in the convoy opening simultaneously. The heavy thud of footsteps echoed in the air as half a dozen imposing bodyguards surrounded her car, their vigilant presence palpable.

Mark, with his sharp gaze and unwavering demeanor, approached Sofia's side and opened the car door for her. She took a deep breath, her hand clutching the fabric of her dress tightly, gathering her resolve. Slowly, she emerged from the car, the weight of the moment weighing upon her.

"Mark, why do I still need these bodyguards trailing me inside the Morelli mansion? I don't require their constant presence," Sofia voiced her growing frustration, her irritation at always being encircled by an entourage of uniformed men seeping into her words. "I apologize, ma'am, but it's the boss's directive that we accompany you wherever you go outside the house," Mark replied, his expression devoid of emotion, as if merely a vessel for the orders he was obliged to follow.

Sofia rolled her eyes, a gesture of annoyance directed at Leonardo's excessive protectiveness. She was accustomed to his overbearing nature, but it occasionally tested her patience.

"Sofia, my dear, I am overjoyed to see you," a warm voice interjected. It was Anna, Leonardo's mother, who had approached and enveloped Sofia in a tender, motherly embrace

Sofia stood there, stunned by the unexpected gesture. She couldn't bring herself to react immediately, her arms frozen by her sides as Leonardo's mother's warm embrace enveloped her. It had been years since someone had shown her such genuine affection, and the flood of emotions caught her off guard. Her eyes welled up with tears, and a lump formed in her throat as memories of her deceased mother flooded her mind.

After what felt like an eternity, Leonardo's mother, Anna, gently pulled away, her eyes filled with concern as she surveyed Sofia's face. "What happened, my dear? Are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with genuine worry. "Oh, you must be tired from traveling. You just landed in Genoa today, and I invited you for dinner, but everyone was very curious to meet you. Come inside."
