★Stupid old man★

~CHAPTER 72~

ROMEO

After my Nonna's display of emotionless blackmail and fake acting skills, which totally didn't work on me.

Nah, I'm lying, my Nonna's acting skills were top-notch, and I fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

Not soon after I uttered the fateful words, "I'll get a bride," that freaking old hag exclaimed like a kid who had just been handed a giant lollipop.

Her eyes sparkled with unbridled joy, and she was over the moon and sun, her enthusiasm radiating.

Squealing like a high school girl as she dragged me into her arms for a bone-crushing hug.

I was shocked by her strength, considering her advanced age. Her bony fingers dug deep into my skin, making me wince, and I didn't know when a small laugh escaped my lips at her joy.

The hug was so tight I thought she might suffocate me.
