Let Me Go My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413 Midnight Surprise
Sofia gently shook Leonardo, and he slowly stirred awake, his eyes blinking open. "I can't seem to get any sleep. I want to go for a walk. Will you accompany me?" she asked softly.

He peered at her with one eye, looking down at her face. "Are you serious, angel? At this hour?" he inquired, his voice still heavy with drowsiness.

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" she retorted, narrowing her eyes playfully.

"No! You're serious," he whispered, removing his arms from around her and sitting up on the bed. He rubbed his eyes and stretched his arms upward, letting out a big yawn. Throwing his legs over the side of the bed, he stood up on his feet and ran his hands through his dark hair to tame it.

"Okay, babe, let's go for a walk," he finally said in his still-sleepy voice, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty for waking him up in the middle of the night. But it was all for the sake of his birthday surprise. She got up instantly and walked over to him, holding his hand.

"I'm ready," she announced, and he responded with another yawn.

She wanted to chuckle at his expression; he looked adorably sleepy, yet he willingly obeyed her every demand and order at any hour of the day. Who would have thought that Leonardo Morelli, an alpha male and dominating man, would be so accommodating to a girl's wishes? She couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, knowing she had such control over him, making him do anything she asked.

Reflecting on their journey, she felt overwhelming gratitude toward God for bringing him into her life. She believed that God had a plan for everyone, and sometimes He allowed pain and challenges to test their patience and tolerance, only to reward them with boundless happiness in return. Looking at Leonardo, she felt that all her prayers had been answered and returned with immeasurable happiness. Now, with their little bundle of joy on the way, she could hardly believe that after years of pain and rejection from her own family, she had finally found someone who could give her what she had craved her whole life—a loving family and her own world.

As they strolled through the garden, Sofia led Leonardo to the decorated area. As they approached, the lights suddenly turned on, and soft, melodious music began to play. It was exactly as Sofia had planned it. The breathtaking view of the garden adorned with heart-shaped balloons and twinkling, colorful fairy lights brought a smile to their faces. Rows of rose and lavender plants lined the path, while hibiscus and bougainvillea shrubs surrounded the garden, showcasing various rare species of plants.

In the center of it all, a table stood, covered with an exquisite cloth, a bottle of wine, and two perfectly placed glasses. The only thing missing was the cake, which was set to arrive anytime after Sofia and Leonardo's arrival, per Sofia's instructions to the staff.

Leonardo's half-closed eyes widened in awe as he blinked a few times to take in the magical surroundings. Then his gaze fell upon Sofia.

"You planned all of this?" he asked, disbelief evident in his voice.

"Of course, who else could?" she shrugged playfully. Did he doubt her ability to plan a surprise? Admittedly, she hadn't planned any surprises in her entire life, but this was the first time she felt compelled to make someone's day truly special and memorable, especially someone as significant to her as Leonardo.

A house helper appeared with the cake that Sofia had lovingly baked for Leonardo.

"The surprise isn't over yet. I made this cake for you," she said, grinning with excitement.

His eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"Really?" he replied, clearly touched by her thoughtful gesture.

Taking her hands in his, he brought them to his lips and kissed the back of her palms, gazing deeply into her eyes.
