Chapter 56

Cara

“How is my princess doing?”

“I know what you’re trying to imply, zio. Hopefully, I’m wrong.”

I know why he asked me to walk with him outside their garden. It wasn’t because the night was beautiful and the moon was wonderfully at its peak.

“Oh, Cara mia. I just worry for the only princess in the family. You are like a daughter to me. And I’m sure you leading the family isn’t really Domenico’s wish- despite you being the real heiress. However… we’re not out here to reprimand you and perhaps Angelo’s decision. Know that no matter what, whether you’re the best of the best, I still worry for you.”

I chuckle as I playfully roll my eyes. “Of course, uncle. How can I not know that? How can I forget that? So…” He raises his brow inquisitively. “About that rule, am I exempted because of course you favor me?” I inquire with a tease.
