Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband
Chapter 377 Yearning For Him
It would be much better if he accompanied her on the shopping trip. She wanted him to come.

"Ah... I want to come. I will try, but I cannot commit as I have some important meetings and lots of contracts and deals to read and sign," Leonardo said, cupping Sofia's face between his hands and caressing her jaw with the pad of his thumb.

"It's okay, I understand," she replied half-heartedly in a dull voice.

"Look at me, baby girl. Take your friends with you and buy them some stuff from our side. Have fun and shop with them. That way, you won't miss me," he said, and she knew he wanted her to cheer up.

"No need, Mr. Morelli. I will be fine on my own, and I don't want to spend your hard-earned money on my luxury," she pressed her hand on his chest.

"It's also your money, Mrs. Morelli. You can spend as much as you want," he said, smiling at her, making her roll her eyes. When would he stop spoiling her like this?

"Okay. Go and get ready. Otherwise, you will be late for your office. I am leaving early. Have your breakfast before leaving," she said and pecked his cheek. But he turned his face, and her lips landed on his sinfully sexy lips as he deepened the kiss.

"See you in the evening, honey," she pulled back and, picking up her bag, left for school.

Sofia and her friends were sitting in the library again during a break between classes.

"Leonardo is throwing a party for me in two days, on Sunday," Sofia whispered carefully so as not to be heard by the librarian.

"Wow, that's great!" Rena chimed, and they had to gesture for her to keep her voice low.

"Oops, sorry! I got excited," Rena apologized, wrinkling her nose.

"What's the occasion, by the way?" Enzo asked this time.

"Umm... he wanted to announce my legacy of the Ricci Empire," Sofia said. She still couldn't believe that she had an empire to manage.

"Oh my my! Her Highness!" Rena exclaimed, her voice dripping with exaggerated awe. She playfully bowed before Sofia, her movements theatrical and grandiose. Sofia blushed, feeling a mix of embarrassment and amusement at Rena's antics.

"Shut up. It's not like that," Sofia replied, trying to downplay her privileged status. She didn't want her friends to treat her differently because of her family's wealth.

Enzo chimed in, teasingly addressing Sofia, "Yeah! So what will it be like having an entire Empire to own, your highness?" He grinned mischievously, enjoying his own jest.

Sofia's face turned even redder as she felt her friends poking fun at her. "If you both don't stop making fun of me, I won't talk to any of you ever," she threatened half-seriously, her expression sullen.

Enzo quickly amended his words, realizing he had pushed too far. "Okay... okay... Sorry, your highness," he apologized, trying to suppress a smirk.

Sofia shot a glare at Enzo, her eyes filled with mock anger. She then sighed and shook her head in mild exasperation.

"Oops, sorry, Sofia," Enzo whispered, barely suppressing his laughter. He found amusement in his friend's reactions, even though he knew he was testing her patience.

Sofia ignored Enzo's silent laughter, not willing to give him the satisfaction of seeing her crack a smile. Instead, she redirected their conversation to more important matters.
