After saying that, Lorenza watched the children closely.

Normally, when she spoke like this, they would respond with cold stares or simply walk away from her. But today, with so many guests present, if they behaved that way, people would surely say the children hadn’t been properly taught. And since Lucia was the one who raised them, the blame would inevitably fall on her.

A few seconds passed.

To Lorenza’s surprise, Nina smiled sweetly and said,

“Okay. Dad and Mom worked very hard to raise us. We’ll definitely study hard.”

Nico nodded solemnly. “Yeah.”

Lorenza’s smile twitched slightly.

Those words were difficult for her to hear. But to the onlookers, the twins sounded sensible, polite, and absolutely adorable.

A woman who had known Lucia before spoke up warmly.

“As parents, all we ever hope for is the day our children grow up to be understanding. It looks like Mrs. Marchesi’s years of care have truly paid off.”

“Exactly,” another person chimed in. “Compared to my own kids, these two

    Nina shook her head and said,“I’ll take the shots at home, Dad. I don’t want to stay here. It smells awful.”Leonardo Marchesi’s heart ached at the sight of her like this. After hesitating for a long moment, he finally gave in and agreed to take her home.This time, her injury had truly shaken him, so he took it seriously. He had already handed all his work over to his secretary and subordinates.Still, there was an upcoming meeting at San Celestino that he couldn’t avoid.Before that, he wanted to spend proper time with the children.Back home, Nina was resting in her room while Nico quietly sat by her side.Tina entered carrying a bowl of soup, but Nina immediately turned her face away.Tina set the bowl down and left with a polite smile.As soon as she was gone, Nina said,“Dad, I don’t like this nanny. She’s mean. I want Ms. Ana.”When Tina was mentioned, Leonardo replied,“She used to be your mom’s nanny. She’s very reliable. You’ll get used to her in time.”Nico frowned.“But

    Lorenza froze for a second, then picked up the book cover. She stuttered, “B-But look how clean and neat these are.” Ana gently said, “Ms. Nina and Mr. Nico prefer covers with patterns.” Lorenza shot her a subtle glance, thinking that Ana and Davide really had no sense of their place. Smiling, Lorenza said, “I know you’ve worked hard taking care of the children, and I appreciate it. But as a nanny, it’s best to stay quiet when your boss is speaking. Otherwise, the children might pick up bad habits like interrupting adults.” Nina immediately jumped to defend Ana. “Ms. Ana is very kind to us.” “Mom said that all the household staff are part of the family and should be respected,” Nico repeated what Lucia had told them. Although the kids no longer resisted Lorenza as openly as before, there was a growing distance in their eyes. To them, Lorenza was an outsider. She had driven Lucia away along with Leonardo Marchesi, and now she was even scolding Ana. Their dislike f

    Lorenza seemed uneasy about leaving Leonardo with Lucia. She slowly made her way down the stairs on her crutch. “Leonardo, don’t be mad anymore. This whole mess ruined Lucia’s birthday. It’s all my fault for being so careless,” she said. Lucia cast her a glance, then turned to Leonardo with a smile. “What do you think my relationship with them is?” “That’s something you should explain to me,” Leonardo replied, ignoring Lorenza. Lucia met his suspicious gaze. “If I told you I’ve known them since we were kids, would you believe me?” Leonardo’s eyes widened. Childhood friends? Lorenza immediately asked, “You’ve known who since you were kids?” Neither Leonardo nor Lucia responded. Lorenza leaned toward Leonardo. “Leonardo? What are you two talking about?” She couldn’t stand not knowing and was determined to get to the bottom of it. She worried that Antonio’s earlier words might have made Leonardo suspicious, which explained her intense curiosity. For the first time, D

    The living room fell deathly silent. Lucia’s eyes were filled with pain. She choked out, “Leonardo, just let me go.” He held on to her tightly, unwilling to let her leave, while still tangled up with Lorenza. What was the point? “Do I really look that easy to push around?” Nina and Nico rushed to Lucia’s side, each hugging her from one side. “Mom, please don’t fight with Dad.” Nina was clearly shaken. She and Nico had never seen Lucia like this. Leonardo’s head snapped to the side from the blow. Rage rose in his chest like a storm. It wasn’t just because she had slapped him in front of everyone, humiliating him. It was also because he felt like nothing he did was ever enough. He thought that she was impossible to please. The moment everyone came to their senses, the room erupted in a flurry of voices. “Lucia! How could you slap Leonardo?” Lorenza limped over with her crutch, planting herself in front of him. Tears rolled down her face as she cried out, “If you don’t love hi

    “Why wouldn’t a birthday be a big deal?” Nina wrapped her arms around Lucia and said sweetly, “I want to thank Grandpa and Grandma for giving birth to Mom. That’s how Nico and I got the best mom in the world!” She could tell that Leonardo had let Lucia down again. Alexa said, “Nina, your birth mother is hurt. You and Nico should go visit her at the hospital.” Visit that lady? Neither Nina nor Nico looked thrilled about the idea. But Leonardo was there. A sudden idea lit up in Nina’s mind. She could go to the hospital with Nico and bring Leonardo back home. So, she nodded. “Okay!” Nico didn’t seem to get it, but Nina had already grabbed his hand and charged toward the foyer. She exclaimed, “Let’s go to the hospital!” It was the first time the kids had shown such enthusiasm, and Alexa was overjoyed. “Quick, get the car ready! Take my precious grandkids to visit their mother!” Davide glanced at Lucia, then reluctantly went to make the arrangements. Lucia didn’t know what the k

    “Mom, are you going to give Nico and i a baby sister or baby brother?” Nina asked, her eyes wide with excitement.Leonardo set down the pancakes. “Do you want to go get it checked out later?”Lucia’s heart skipped a beat. Her period was indeed a few days late.In their six years of marriage, she had never thought about having a baby of her own. After all, the two kids had only just grown independent. She was finally getting a little breathing room.She gently placed a hand on her lower belly and wondered if she could genuinely be pregnant.Lorenza, snapping back to the moment, looked over with concern. “Lucia, are you really pregnant?”Lucia could guess what Lorenza was thinking. After a pause, she vaguely answered, “I’m not sure.”“Well, if you are, you’ll have to be careful. Pregnancy’s no joke,” Lorenza said deliberately.Alexa chimed in, “Yeah. When Lorenza was carrying those two, she was constantly sick. She came out of labor looking even skinnier than she was before she got preg
