Starting Over

Bruno headed to Gío's house, longing to be reunited with his wife and son. They received him with such coldness that he felt like he was facing blocks of ice. Rina and Gío watched him, clearly annoyed.

"If you're going to mistreat our daughter, why did you come looking for her?" Rina said.

"I love her," Bruno replied, bowing his head, feeling ashamed of his behavior.

"Are you sure? Because if you're not, it's better for you to leave. Your insecurities are causing our daughter pain."

"I need to talk to her, to ask for her forgiveness."

"This will be the last time you do something foolish and we allow you to get close to her. Let it be clear that we're doing it for our grandchild. If it wasn't for that, we would have taken her out of the country in the early hours of the morning."

Bruno paled upon hearing those words. He didn't want to lose her again; he couldn't bear it.

Rina and Gío went upstairs, and a few minutes later, Nicole came down with a serious expression on her face.
