Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 219

Sofia’s POV

Kayla called out instantly as soon as our eyes locked and I beamed at her and felt Luca’s hand release mine, indicating that I could go over to her if I wanted to. Kayla was already on her feet when I made my way over to her side and we exchanged a deep hug instantly, and I held her against me tightly, loving how she didn’t find thst weird and instead tightened her hold around my body as well. We broke the embrace after a few minutes and stared into each other's faces. The lights from the walls around this particular side of the roof were so bright that it felt like we weren’t on the roof of a building at all.

I pulled her hands in mine and smiled at her and she returned the smile immediately, mirroring the excited expression on my face, I had a feeling she was trying really hard to keep her over enthusiasm on a lowkey tonight, which I find really cute and endearing because I know without even thinking, that she was going to crack before we’d be done with dinner tonight.

“I missed you, Sofia.” Kayla breathed out and I breathed out a small laugh.

“We literally texted today, Kay.” I pointed to her on a small huff and watched as she rolled her eyes almost immediately before tugging one of her hands from mine, and I watched as she used her finger to stroke them over one of her artificial eye lashes, which I had a feeling had been trying to get into her eyes.

“Aw c’mon, you know it’s never the same as the both of us speaking in person.” She replied and I most definitely couldn’t agree more with her on that. But knowing the kind of life I has lived, I was still super glad and grateful about the fact that I could be able to talk to her on the phone, through text or calls.

“You’re right, we most definitely can’t hug each other through our phone screens.” I said to her as I reached down and smoothened my hand over the side of my gown in the next second.

“Exactly! I also can’t be able to thoroughly admire your beautiful face like this in person. Have I ever told you about the fact that video calls don't do any single justice to your beauty? Because you look so much better in person.” She asked after a few seconds and I started to nod my head as I felt my cheeks heat up a little,

“Yes, you have a couple of times, along with him.” I said to her with a warm smile hovering over my lips and nodded my head at Luca at the end of my statement, and I watched as her face spread out in a grin just as she turned around to also stare at my husband.

She leaned into me with both of our eyes locked on the three men all up on their feet on the other side of this rooftop, probably speaking about something they wouldn’t want us to listen in on.

“Your husband really is hot, like damn.” Kayla mused beside me and I almost choked on my spit in that particular moment. I was lost on what to say for a few seconds but finally ended up agreeing with her, because he really was smoking hot, even though I didn't approve of her speaking about my husband that way directly in my face.

Yes, he was hot, but that was very obvious enough, she didn’t have to say it like she was checking him out more than she was supposed to.

“I just assumed. I understand the fact that you’ve always found my husband attractive, and the fact that you’ve also been following his Instagram for a long time now.,. But that felt really disrespectful to me and I honestly do not appreciate it.” I said to her, lifting my hand up to card through my strands as I puffed out a small breath. Kayla stared at me quietly after I was done speaking, and when the silence started to drag out between us, I started to wonder just if I had spoken too much back then.

Kayla started to move closer to me when I had been about to apologize and she took my two hands into hers, and I moved my lips a little as I felt the cold of her palm press into my warm and smaller palms.

“I’m so sorry, Sofia… I honestly never thought of it that way, and now I feel really awful.” Kayla started to say. I tried to convince her that she wasn’t bad and shouldn’t feel awful but she started to speak as well, making me swallow my words down as I gave her more room to talk.

“Honestly? If someone had said that same thing about my husband to me, right there in my face, I’d have also gotten angry and jealous. I just never saw it from your own point of view until this very moment, and also when you made that statement about Travis’s suit suiting his eyes…” She continued to speak but I cut into what she was saying along the way, as I tightened my hold on her.

“Relax, Kayla. I’m not even angry.” I said to her, trying to calm her down when she kept trying to speak.

“I’m glad you were able to see it and understand it from my own point of view. I mean, I was also complimenting your husband as well, but you could also see the way you felt attacked, that was exactly how I felt… or even more? Because you follow him on Instagram and every other social media and there’s nothing I can do about it, not that I want to do a thing about it, by the way. I’m just saying.”
