Let Me Go My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349 Waiting For Him
Domenico nodded sympathetically, his expression conveying understanding. "I can understand, ma'am," he responded gently.

"Call me Sofia," she corrected him abruptly, wanting to assert some familiarity amidst her distress.

Domenico's face showed a hint of concern, and he responded, "Oh no, ma'am! I am not permitted to address you by your name. I value my life too much," he said with a chuckle, leaving Sofia perplexed. What did he mean by such a cryptic statement?

Sensing her confusion, he continued, tapping his chin as if deep in thought. "So, the issue lies in your desire to spend quality time with your husband while he fails to provide you with the attention you seek. Hmmm..." Domenico's words trailed off, indicating his contemplation of the matter.

Then, he turned his gaze towards Sofia, mustering a gentle smile, and spoke with the utmost politeness, "Given that you are married to the most successful and affluent man in the country, you must understand the immense responsibilities and workload that rest upon his shoulders."

Pausing for a moment, Domenico gauged her reaction, finding her silent and contemplative. He continued, hoping to offer solace and advice, "Grant him some time. I am certain that he, too, yearns for moments spent with you. Should you ever need to vent or voice your concerns, feel free to confide in me like a brother. I am always available to lend an ear."

Sofia's gloomy mood began to brighten at Leonardo's brotherly gesture. Grateful, she responded, "Thank you so much, Mr. Russo, for lending me your ear." Finally, a genuine smile graced her lips.

"Anytime. And call me Dom," he suggested, returning her smile warmly.

Sofia pondered his proposal for a moment before suggesting, "How about I call you brother?"

A genuine look of happiness illuminated Dom's face as he enthusiastically replied, "That would be wonderful! I've gained a sister. How marvelous!"

As their camaraderie grew, Dom shifted the topic, acknowledging Sofia's boredom at home and missing her husband. "Why don't you consider joining some clubs, like the ones society ladies often do?" he advised, hoping to offer her an outlet for her restlessness.

"Oh no, I'm too young to join those clubs," Sofia pouted, her youthful spirit refusing to conform to the restrictions imposed by such establishments.

Dom nodded in understanding. "You're right. Then how about your studies? Have you managed to complete your course?"

Sofia hesitated, her thoughts turning to her unfulfilled desire to finish her education, secure a decent job, and become independent. "No, I had to abandon it halfway when my father arranged my marriage with Leonardo," she confessed, her voice carrying a hint of regret.

"Oh... I have a brilliant idea!" Domenico exclaimed, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. "Why don't you continue your studies and rejoin your school? Have a conversation with Leonardo about it and seek admission again. It would be beneficial for both you and Leonardo. You won't have to stay at home all the time, and you'll have something productive to keep you engaged," he suggested, his words filled with genuine concern.

Sofia's face lit up with joy. "Wow, brother! You're absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for suggesting that," she expressed her gratitude sincerely, feeling a surge of happiness within her.

"The pleasure is mine," Domenico replied with a warm smile. "So, if the matter is resolved, may I take your leave? Your husband will also require my presence at the office," he informed her, his smile still intact.

Sofia giggled in response, nodding her head. "Of course, and thank you for coming. It was a pleasure to meet you," she expressed her appreciation.

This realization struck Leonardo with a sense of foreboding. It meant Sofia's anger still smoldered, and he knew he was in for a trying ordeal. Carefully, he bent down, his muscles straining as he gathered her delicate frame into his arms, intending to carry her to their room and settle her upon their shared bed.

However, the moment he lifted Sofia's weight, her eyes fluttered open, and she instinctively wound her slender arms around his neck. "Leonardo! You're back," she whispered in a drowsy voice, her words dripping with affection. In that moment, with her tousled hair and partially hooded eyes, she appeared irresistibly tempting to him.

"Yes, my baby girl," Leonardo responded affectionately, a warm smile adorning his face as he scooped Sofia up into his strong arms. With tender steps, he carried her towards their bedroom, his gaze filled with adoration for his beloved wife. "Why are you sleeping here? You should be resting in our bed," he gently chided, his voice laced with concern.

Sofia looked up at Leonardo with innocent eyes, her face nestled in the crook of his neck. Her proximity sent an electric current surging through his body, causing his cock twitch in his pants. He fought back a groan, trying to maintain composure in the face of such tempting sensations.

"I was waiting for you," Sofia replied, her voice filled with sincerity and longing. The words tugged at Leonardo's heartstrings, reminding him of the time they had spent apart. He carried her up the stairs, each step a deliberate movement filled with a mix of desire and regret.

"I'm sorry, baby girl," Leonardo apologized, his voice laced with regret. "These past few days have been incredibly demanding. There are countless matters that require my attention at work," he explained, his tone tinged with frustration at the obligations that kept him away from his wife.

"Yes, it seems like everything requires your undivided attention except for me. Don't you think I..." Sofia's sentence abruptly halted, her delicate lips biting down on them shyly, revealing her inner turmoil.

At that moment, the radiance of her beautiful face faded, replaced by a tinge of sadness that dimmed her once-bright eyes.
