Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 365 Where Is My Wife

"Why is he coming? I mean... I mean... he must be incredibly busy, and I never expected him to make it for lunch. That's why I invited you here alone," Emma hesitated, her expression suddenly shifting. However, a smile quickly appeared on her face as she continued, "So that we could spend some quality time with you, dear." Sofia, considering how pleasantly surprised they would be by her husband's gentle demeanor, responded, "But, ma'am, Leonardo is my husband, and it's customary for a married woman to visit her parents' home with her husband. He will be delighted to meet you all."

The mention of the name 'Leonardo Morelli,' the notorious Mafia King, usually conjured images of ruthlessness and heartlessness in the public eye. Yet, Sofia knew a different side of him a gentle and polite man when it came to his family. She was confident that he would not display any rudeness towards her own kin.

"Mum, what is she doing here?" Sofia's ears were pierced by Kat's harsh voice.

"Kat, mind your manners. She is your sister, and I invited her for lunch. So, behave appropriately," Emma admonished her daughter, a rare display of authority.

Kat cast a disdainful gaze upon Sofia, her eyes filled with disgust. "How could you do this, Mum? You know how much I despise her, and now that Leonardo has shown his affection for her, she's everywhere in the media. I hate her even more now," Kat spat out, grinding her teeth, her eyes shooting daggers at Sofía.

Sofia was taken aback. She had no idea what Kat was referring to. She hadn't been following the news lately, as she had been completely out of touch with the world during her time sailing on the yacht with Leonardo.

"Kat, stop talking nonsense and go to your room this instant!" Emma scolded her daughter, surprising Sofia once again. Emma had never stood up for Sofia in such a manner before. Sofia couldn't help but wonder what had caused this sudden change of heart in her stepmother.

"Have some juice, Sofia," Uncle Mak suggested kindly, recognizing her fatigue and hunger. He arrived with a butler, who carried a tray filled with refreshing juice and delectable sandwiches.

Sofia was initially inclined to wait for Leonardo, but this was the first instance where Uncle Mak displayed such thoughtfulness towards her. Declining his offer might appear impolite, she thought. Thus, she decided to accept his gesture, appreciating the rare courtesy. Carefully, Sofia selected a glass of juice from the tray and took a small sip to quench her thirst. Emma, noticing her hesitation, encouraged her further. "Have a sandwich, Sofia," she urged, extending the plate towards her.

Sofia gently declined, responding, "No, I want to wait for Leonardo. I'll eat with him." In that instant, she caught a fleeting glimpse of anger in Emma's eyes, but it soon vanished, replaced by a warm and understanding expression. Emma smiled reassuringly, assuaging any tension that may have arisen. "Okay, dear, we'll all wait for Leonardo. But do finish your juice, alright?" she suggested kindly.

Sofia nodded, acknowledging Emma's request, and took another sip from her glass. However, as the liquid touched her lips, an unexpected sensation washed over her. Her head began to spin, and a sudden throbbing pain pulsed through her forehead. Sofia, overcome by dizziness, instinctively closed her eyes. Her grip on the glass weakened, causing it to slip precariously from her hand. Just in time, Emma reached out and caught the glass, preventing it from shattering on the floor. Emma held onto Sofia for support.
