“Those two kids…” Lorenza looked heartbroken. “They’re so rude. I scolded them a little, and they got all upset. And now I’ve realized they even lie sometimes. What should I do?”

Leonardo frowned. “They lied?”

“I scolded them a little, and they went running to Ana, saying I hit them. I adore them so much. If I could, I’d make up for every single year we’ve lost. Why would I ever lay a hand on them?”

She looked drained as she continued, “They’ve already been taught all the wrong things.”

“They really said that?” Leonardo went straight upstairs.

Lorenza hurried after him. “Please, don’t be harsh with them.”

Leonardo entered the kids’ room.

Nina ran straight into his arms. “Dad, I want a hug!”

Seeing her like that made Leonardo’s chest ache. He scooped her up with one arm and took Nico’s hand with the other, sitting them both down.

“Did you have a fight with your mom?” he asked.

Nina replied, “Dad, she hit Nico.”

Nico nodded. “Yeah, she did.”

Leonardo took a deep breath. “Ni

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 56

    Leonardo’s questioning voice was neither too loud nor too soft, yet it carried clearly through the spacious hotel lobby. All those present were business partners invited by the Donovan family. Upon arriving, they had begun mingling and networking, exchanging pleasantries and business cards. So naturally, the commotion at the front desk caught their attention. Lucia looked at Leonardo calmly. Her gaze was distant and detached, like someone observing a complete stranger. “Why can’t I be here?” she asked coolly. Seeing him standing beside Lorenza as a couple didn’t stir even the slightest emotion in her heart. “Did Gusto Castro bring you?” Leonardo probed. Lucia didn’t bother responding to someone who had long lost all sense of decency. Instead, she took her invitation from her bag and handed it to the hotel staff at the registration desk. During this three-day private booking, invited guests only needed an official invitation from the Donovan family to check in for free. The r

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 55

    At 10:30 a.m. the next day, Lucia received a call from Davide. His voice was tense, clearly irritated. “Mrs. Marchesi, Mr. Marchesi didn’t come home all night. He only returned early this morning… with Lorenza.” Lucia remained silent. “I—I saw something,” Davide continued hesitantly. “Saw what?” Lucia asked calmly. Davide swallowed. “A kiss mark… on his neck.” The line fell into complete silence. Inside the villa, Lucia finally felt something snap shut inside her chest. Not pain—closure. Her heart went cold, numb, drained of every last trace of warmth. Whatever still lingered between her and Leonardo Marchesi was finally over. Yet her eyes still stung. She lifted her chin, forcing the tears back, and asked in a flat voice, “Did you take a photo?” “Yes,” Davide whispered. “It’s very clear.” “Good.” Lucia had never wanted Leonardo’s wealth for herself. She wanted proof—proof enough to destroy the Marchesi Group completely and strip him of the spotless reputation he cheri

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 54

    Lorenza spoke first. “Lucia, you’re finally here. You were really too impulsive. Women shouldn’t cling to grudges so deeply. Fortunately, Pietro isn’t seriously injured. He’s just angry and needs a simple apology. After this, you can still remain friends.” Zoe—Lorenza’s close friend—quickly echoed her words. “Exactly. Pietro only said one unpleasant thing about you, and you caused him so much trouble? What kind of friend does that make you?” Leonardo Marchesi stood silently nearby, his gaze steady as it rested on Lucia. He seemed to be waiting—expecting her to apologize. Three minutes passed. Lucia said nothing. Just then, her phone rang. It was Gabriele. She answered calmly. “Hello?” “Ms. Bianchi, we’re waiting for you at the hospital entrance,” Gabriele said politely. Lucia’s lips curved slightly. “I’m already in the ward.” “Ah—understood! We’ll come up immediately.” After ending the call, Lucia surprised everyone by walking over and sitting down on the sofa—still silent

    Pietro made a call while driving through the streets of Milano. “Leonardo, who exactly is Lucia?” Leonardo had just arrived home. “Who? What?” “I just…” Pietro hesitated, not knowing how to explain himself. “Never mind. Forget it.” After hanging up, he called Lorenza. “Lorenza.” “Pietro, what’s wrong?” “Do you know anything about Lucia’s background?” Lorenza was puzzled by Pietro’s sudden concern. After thinking for a moment, she replied, “Her background isn’t anything special. But… she was recently involved with Mr. Ruggeri, the chairman of San Celestino Group, and someone named Alessandro Bianchi. From what Leonardo said, Lucia might have a complicated relationship with Damiano.” Pietro slammed the steering wheel furiously. He couldn’t believe that Lucia—that shameless woman—would use her connection with Damiano to mess with his family. He had thought she was some powerful figure, but in reality, she was just a bully who relied on others’ influence—a cheap woman who use

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 52

    Arturo Bianchi withdrew his gaze. His stern, authoritative features radiated dominance. However, when he heard the name Lucia, he paused slightly—it was the same name as his precious niece. As a seasoned commander, Arturo’s instincts were razor-sharp. He issued an order calmly, “Run a background check on those two.” The man in the tailored suit glanced toward Lorenza and Pietro. “Yes, sir.” Anyone who caught Arturo’s attention rarely brought anything good. Arturo then headed into a high-end private ward in the inpatient department. “Mr. Ruggeri, what brings you to a hospital in Milano?” he asked with a faint smile. Bruno Ruggeri, Damiano's grandfather, looked energetic and spirited, with no sign of illness at all. “I just needed some peace,” Bruno snorted. “My daughter-in-law keeps pestering me to set Damiano up on blind dates. She’s far too noisy.” In truth, Bruno wasn’t sick. He had simply escaped to the hospital to avoid the chaos at home. Arturo chuckled and sa

  • Too Late, Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 51

    Lorenza sat in a chair, lost in thought. Soon, Leonardo Marchesi came downstairs. Lorenza got up and said, “Leonardo, I made breakfast. Have some.” “Didn’t I tell you to rest more?” “It’s fine. I’m not tired.” At the dining table, Lorenza hesitated. “Leonardo, my stomach has been feeling off. I want to go to the hospital for a checkup.” Leonardo frowned. “Does it still hurt?” “Yes.” Lorenza lowered her head. “I’m a little worried. I finally got better, and I want to spend more time with you and the kids.” “Then get it checked.” “I made an appointment with a specialist this Sunday.” Lorenza smiled softly. “Are you free? I’m too scared to go alone. Cancer is really terrifying.” Leonardo fell silent when he heard her mention the appointment for Sunday. Lorenza’s tone was sad yet restrained. “It’s okay if you’re busy. I’ll just go by myself. I don’t want to tell Grandma. She’s old, and I don’t want her to worry.” Leonardo asked, “What about Saturday?” “The executiv
