Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 388 He Doesn't Love Me

Sofia was filled with immense joy. She couldn't contain her excitement any longer and wanted to share the news of her pregnancy with Leonardo. It was a moment she had been eagerly waiting for. Without wasting a second, she headed straight to his office, determined to surprise him. However, Leonardo's secretary attempted to intervene.

"Ma'am, Mr. Morelli is currently busy. Please wait for some time. Let me inform him about your presence," Leonardo's secretary said, trying to delay Sofia.

"No, no. Please don't inform him. I want to surprise him. I have news that simply can't wait any longer," Sofia replied, her grin revealing her anticipation. She darted past the secretary and made her way directly to Leonardo's office. Sofia was Leonardo's wife, and she knew that this news couldn't be kept a secret any longer. She was confident that he would be just as overjoyed as she was. Gripping the doorknob, she was about to twist it open when she unexpectedly overheard a conversation from inside the office.

"I'm sure you're aware of Sofia's mother and her reputation. You already know why Carlo detested his wife," Sofia heard Leonardo's father say. Her heart sank as she listened to their discussion, standing there frozen with confusion.

"Dad, there's no need to remind me of that," Leonardo responded with frustration evident in his voice, which seeped through the slightly open door.

After a long silence, Sofia strained to hear Leonardo's father speak again. "Leonardo, remember that this marriage was contracted for only three years," he said, reminding Leonardo of their agreement. Sofia was left dumbfounded, trying to make sense of their conversation.

"I'm well aware of that, Dad," Leonardo replied in a bored tone, his voice reaching Sofia's ears. She couldn't comprehend why she was listening to this unsettling exchange.

"You don't have to pretend to be in love with Sofia," Leonardo's father stated matter-of-factly, causing Sofia's heart to plummet to the pit of her stomach. He had been pretending, putting on an act of care and possessiveness, but love was absent. Sofia's hand instinctively moved to touch her stomach, feeling a mixture of emotions.

"I'm not pretending anything, Dad," Leonardo's cold and stern voice resonated, further piercing Sofia's thoughts. It forced her to question the true intentions behind his sweet gestures. He wasn't pretending, and he didn't love her. The realization left Sofia bewildered, prompting her to continue listening attentively to their conversation.
