Chapter 349 Waiting For Him

Domenico nodded sympathetically, his expression conveying understanding. "I can understand, ma'am," he responded gently.

"Call me Sofia," she corrected him abruptly, wanting to assert some familiarity amidst her distress.

Domenico's face showed a hint of concern, and he responded, "Oh no, ma'am! I am not permitted to address you by your name. I value my life too much," he said with a chuckle, leaving Sofia perplexed. What did he mean by such a cryptic statement? Sensing her confusion, he continued, tapping his chin as if deep in thought. "So, the issue lies in your desire to spend quality time with your husband while he fails to provide you with the attention you seek. Hmmm..." Domenico's words trailed off, indicating his contemplation of the matter.

Then, he turned his gaze towards Sofia, mustering a gentle smile, and spoke with the utmost politeness, "Given that you are married to the most successful and affluent man in the country, you must understand the immense responsibilities and workload that rest upon his shoulders."

Pausing for a moment, Domenico gauged her reaction, finding her silent and contemplative. He continued, hoping to offer solace and advice, "Grant him some time. I am certain that he, too, yearns for moments spent with you. Should you ever need to vent or voice your concerns, feel free to confide in me like a brother. I am always available to lend an ear."

Sofia's gloomy mood began to brighten at Leonardo's brotherly gesture. Grateful, she responded, "Thank you so much, Mr. Russo, for lending me your ear." Finally, a genuine smile graced her lips.

"Anytime. And call me Dom," he suggested, returning her smile warmly.

Sofia pondered his proposal for a moment before suggesting, "How about I call you brother?"

A genuine look of happiness illuminated Dom's face as he enthusiastically replied, "That would be wonderful! I've gained a sister. How marvelous!"

As their camaraderie grew, Dom shifted the topic, acknowledging Sofia's boredom at home and missing her husband. "Why don't you consider joining some clubs, like the ones society ladies often do?" he advised, hoping to offer her an outlet for her restlessness. "Oh no, I'm too young to join those clubs," Sofia pouted, her youthful spirit refusing to conform to the restrictions imposed by such establishments.

Dom nodded in understanding. "You're right. Then how about your studies? Have you managed to complete your course?"
