A few moments before Olivia arrived, Ignazio stepped out of his room upon hearing the sound of his penthouse doorbell. Confident that the person arriving was Olivia, Ignazio opened the door without checking who the guest was. His forehead immediately furrowed when he saw the unfamiliar young woman standing there, smiling sweetly at him."Sorry, who are you?" Ignazio asked the girl who continued to smile at him.The girl's eyes widened, looking at Ignazio in disbelief before sighing in annoyance. "You don't recognize me?" She asked Ignazio, pouting as if frustrated.Ignazio was still trying to remember. In his mind, maybe the person in front of him was someone he had known in the past. He tried to delve into his memories but couldn't identify who this person was."It's me, Ayeleen!" The girl exclaimed with a slightly higher pitch and a frustrated look. "I'm Gretta's younger sister," she continued when Ignazio still seemed confused.Boom! Ignazio's heart suddenly throbbed painfully. Tha

The voice, gentle, soft, and tender, entered Ignazio's ears, sending strange vibrations throughout his body, causing Ignazio's heart to somehow race faster, and his eyes suddenly welled up.Ignazio averted his gaze, trying to hide the sudden feelings of emotion and guilt that he felt out of nowhere. Back then, when he left her, the girl's figure was still a small, red baby. Her head was no bigger than Ignazio's palm, and all the baby could do was cry loudly.The memory of the faint cries of that baby when he left without any feelings five years ago was vivid in Ignazio's mind."Sorry, Sir. I have to take Gianna to the bathroom," Olivia said, asking for permission as she quickly took Gianna into the penthouse, passing by Ignazio, who was still standing in his place.Ignazio paused for a moment, smelling the distinct fragrance of children mixed with Olivia's faint perfume as they passed. At the same time, Olivia also paused when she saw the familiar figure standing in the middle of the

Olivia instantly withdrew her hand, canceling her intention to help. She resumed patting Gianna's back, not just to alleviate the little girl's nervousness but also to calm her own anxiety."Ye-yes! Please, move the food," Ignazio said a few seconds later, changing his mind. "I need to use the bathroom for a moment." He continued, and with quick steps, Ignazio entered his room, closing the door with a forceful slam that startled both Olivia and Gianna."Olivia..." Gianna pulled the hem of Olivia's shirt in panic and distress. The child looked pale and frightened. Olivia smiled and crouched in front of her."Remember what I said earlier?" Olivia asked Gianna. "Daddy is still sick, that's why he can't get too close to you yet." Olivia whispered soothingly. "Gianna, sit down for a moment, I'm going to move Daddy's food so he can eat and get well soon. So he can hug Gianna and go back to Granny and Grandpa's house as soon as possible." She said, met with a smile from Gianna.Unbeknownst t

FOR SOME TIME, they stood there still embracing. Ignazio's hands were still on Olivia's waist, while Olivia's hands were leaning against the chest of the man.Ignazio could feel the warmth of Olivia's body in the palms of his hands, and Olivia could feel the firmness of Ignazio's chest in her hands.They locked eyes for several seconds. At this close range, Olivia could see Ignazio's deep brown, almost black, eyes. His nose was small and pointed. His lips, hidden by a mustache and beard, were pink, indicating that he wasn't a smoker. The upper part was thin, while the lower part was thicker.The man's eyelashes were long, thick, and curly. His eyes were almond-shaped, neither round nor slanted, adorned with thick, naturally curved eyebrows, like a sculpture.Olivia struggled to swallow hard, gazing at the handsome figure in front of her.At the same time, Ignazio silently observed Olivia. The girl's skin was rosy white, clean without blemishes. Her nose looked perfect on her face. Her

Olivia tried to restrain herself from looking at him with a smile on her face. Somehow, Olivia couldn't stop smiling. She knew the situation was awkward, but for some reason, she couldn't stop feeling happy."Where... where are you from?" the man asked softly. His awkwardness didn't quite match his large stature. Still, Olivia tried not to mock him.Intentionally, Olivia didn't answer his question. She chose to pretend not to hear and let Gianna respond."From the mall," Gianna replied casually. The girl refocused on her food, and her father fell silent again.Realizing that there would be no progress if she let the two interact on their own, Olivia responded, "We were buying crayons when you called me." Olivia said with a longer sentence. "Gianna loves drawing and coloring; she can go through a lot of crayons in a month." Olivia informed.Ignazio lifted his head and looked at Olivia, but she pretended not to notice and focused on her food. She wanted Ignazio to try again, so he could

"GIANNAA... DARLING." Ignazio softly called his daughter's name again. His lips, which had been sealed for so long, dared not utter that name. But now, he repeated it as if it were a mantra he had to memorize. "Forgive me, sweetheart. Forgive me, my dear." Ignazio spoke with quivering shoulders and tears that continued to fall. Gianna looked at Olivia with the typical puzzled gaze of a child, and Olivia responded to the unspoken question in those eyes with a smile. Olivia's hand lifted in a motion as if reciprocating a hug and stroking something. Gianna nodded and returned Ignazio's embrace, placing her little chin on his broad shoulder while gently patting Ignazio's back as if to comfort him. "I have forgiven you, Papa," Gianna said in her flat tone. "That's why, Papa, don't get sick again, so you won't leave me again." The child's complaint made Olivia, who was initially moved, burst into laughter. Ignazio seemed to be the same. His shoulders trembled, and Olivia heard a faint chu

The room, once used by Ignazio until he moved to a larger room that Meizar now occupied, still retained the decor that Ignazio and Meizar had chosen. It was truly masculine, with typical male furnishings, characterized by shades of gray, blue, black, and white. And now, the room had transformed into something very childish, even more so than the room Francisca had occupied before. Ignazio entered and walked towards the queen-size bed wrapped in a light pink bed cover. Olivia uncovered the bed, and Ignazio gently laid Gianna on it. Olivia sat at the edge of the bed and took off Gianna's shoes and socks before covering the girl with a blanket and adjusting the room's AC temperature so it wasn't too hot or too cold. Afterward, she stood, leaving Ignazio to gaze at his sleeping daughter. Olivia went into her room and left Ignazio alone. If Ignazio wanted to leave, she felt no need to accompany him; after all, this was Ignazio's home, and he knew the way out. But, in truth, Olivia hoped

IGNAZIO WOKE UP disoriented with the sense of time. For a moment, he suspected that he might be in a dream. How could he be in the room he had left years ago? But then he remembered that last night, without coercion and with a clear mind, he volunteered to escort Olivia and Gianna back to their parents' residence.Ignazio groaned. Why did he take such an impulsive action? Why didn't he think about the consequences of what he was doing? What should he do now? For the past five years, he had been running away. Instead of returning to apologize to his parents, he chose to hide. And now, for some unclear impulse, whether it was because of Gianna or Olivia, he found himself back at his parents' home. What should he do if he met his parents later? What explanation could he give them? What should he say to them? Could he face his parents without feeling ashamed or guilty after all the pain and disappointment he had caused?Gianna might be able to accept him and forgive him easily, but what a
