Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 422 Five Years Later *Five years later.*

The Morelli mansion was adorned with elegance and splendor, as today was a day of double celebration. Sofia and Leonardo's son, Vincenzo Morelli aka Vin, turned five years old, while it also marked the first anniversary of Sofia's successful food chain business. The air buzzed with excitement and joy, filling every corner of the mansion.

Sofia and Leonardo were blessed with another bundle of joy, a daughter they named Lucia Morelli, in loving memory of Sofia's late mother. As they looked at their beautiful children, Sofia's heart swelled with love and gratitude, amazed at how her life had unfolded into a perfect family with a loving and caring husband and two adorable kids.

Leonardo couldn't hide his pride and joy as he gushed over Sofia's accomplishments in the culinary world. She had earned her culinary arts degree from the finest school in Italy and had been passionately pursuing her dream of establishing her name in the restaurant chain business. The party was not only a celebration of their son's birthday but also a recognition of Sofia's first milestone in her professional journey.

Sofia's heart swelled with gratitude as she looked around the room at her family and friends, knowing that she had more than she had ever wished for. She was so thankful to almighty God for making her the substitute bride of the right man.

She couldn't help but feel that her prayers had been answered, and she was truly fortunate to have found Leonardo, the man who completed her life like the missing piece of a puzzle. The circumstances that had initially brought them together seemed like fate, and she couldn't be more grateful.

Leonardo's parents, too, played a significant role in the joyous occasion. Over time, his relationship with his father had improved, especially after the birth of their children. Becoming a grandfather had softened Leonardo's father, revealing a tender side that brought them closer together. Their kids adored their grandparents and relished spending time with them, creating a beautiful bond that spanned generations.

Carlo had slowly recovered from the trauma and pain that had gripped him, thanks to Sofia's loving care and support. However, Kat remained unchanged in her feelings towards Sofia. The animosity in her heart persisted, and Sofia knew not to expect any sisterly connection. Nonetheless, she focused on taking care of Carlo and ensuring his well-being as Kat had shifted to Rome.

The celebration was in full swing as everyone gathered to rejoice in Sofia and Leonardo's happiness. Amidst the festive atmosphere, Leonardo's eyes rested on Sofia, filled with love and pride, as he expressed his affection without hesitation.

"I love you, baby girl," he declared, leaning in to kiss her lips, oblivious to the watching eyes, including their parents. Sofia, too, was accustomed to his public displays of affection, and she smiled warmly at him, returning the sentiment.

"I love you more, hubby," she replied playfully, their love for each other evident in their gestures and expressions.

Overwhelmed with happiness, Leonardo couldn't help but express his pride in Sofia. "I'm so proud of you, my angel. You are the best thing that ever happened to me," he said, his eyes gleaming with joy. Bending his head, he placed a loving kiss on her cheeks, and her giggle filled the air.

Excitement filled the venue as kids rushed towards the couple, wrapping their little hands around their legs, jumping with joy. The eager children reminded them of the cake-cutting ceremony they were eagerly waiting for.

"Mom and Dad, when will we cut the cake? Our friends are waiting," the children chimed in unison.

Now you go and enjoy the games and magic show with your friends," Leonardo replied,
