Chapter 359: Confusion And Familiarity

Leonardo couldn’t fall asleep no matter how drunk he got. Whenever he closed his eyes, all he could think of was the past that he tried hard to ignore.

Has she returned yet?

He went to her room; she was not there. He searched the house for Angelina. He couldn’t rest. He almost called Angelina but he remembered what Minerva said.

Angelina cannot misunderstand that he was jealous.

He decided to go back to bed but on the way to his room, he saw Minerva’s room. He knocked on the door.

"Minerva?"

He asked gently as he didn’t want to wake her up if she was asleep. Even if he was mad at her for ruining his peace, he subconsciously didn’t want to ruin her peace.

There was no answer from inside. He tried to open the door and the door was unlocked. He swayed the door open after knocking it once more to have a peek inside. The bed was empty and the room was dark.

Leonardo figured out that she must be sleeping in Ziya’s room. He didn’t want to talk to her anymore and wandered off to the kitchen. The house was empty. There was no noise inside the house and it made him feel empty.

In that loud silence of the night, his mind thought of various things.

He never thought about how big their house was. In the mornings the halls and hallways were always filled with laughter and the lively voice of people. These past few months, he got used to the unfiltered laugh of his niece. The silence was scary. He was in one of the dining rooms that the family uses and even if he screamed from here, his father wouldn’t hear him.

Was this place always this scary at night?

He shook off that thought. There must be some staff around somewhere. They wouldn’t come into his sight not to disturb him. Ignazio definitely would be lurking in one of those long shadows. He will not leave his dad alone.

Thinking about his dad filled his heart with more sorrow. His father often tells him these days that he won’t live long. He brushed it off but it hit him suddenly.

Minerva plans on living in Abenney. Once his father is gone, this big house would be his and he would be here alone. There would be no one to share this house with him, and he would be alone on his bed. Scarily alone.

Heh! Why would I be alone? What’s with the mid-life crisis type of thoughts I have? I am just thirty-two!

He searched his phone in the group of contacts where he stored the names of the women—Booty Call was the name of the group. He didn’t have to be alone. He can get anyone he wants to stay with him! He doesn’t bring those women out of consideration for his father, but when his father is gone, he can do whatever he wants to.

Maybe he will bring a woman inside the house tonight! Who is going to stop him? He’s Leonardo Vitale! Who would dare to stop him? He’s thinking stupid thoughts because he is sexually frustrated. That’s it!

He scrolled through the names one by one. These are the women he thought that he would do twice. Something about them attracted him and that was why he saved their number.

Ah... this one gave an awesome head... This one had beautiful tits... This one said "Yee-haw" quite cutely when she rode me... This one had a nice ass and let me slap ’em hard...

One by one he scrolled down without taking the next step of calling their number. He couldn’t. None of them were appealing to him anymore.

He threw his phone on the table out of frustration.

It sucks! What’s wrong with me?

Sitting in the dark with his cheek pressed to the table he sighed. He must be going crazy and it’s all that fool’s fault. She really confused him by talking about love and whatnot.

Well, she didn’t make him crazy. It’s that other one.

Where is she? Is she back yet? It’s very late, isn’t it? She was not used to nightlife in the past. Has she changed that much?

He grunted and turned his face. He should not be worrying about her. In the past, he thought that she ruined their pure relationship by confessing to him. But now, why is he mad that she got over him and is ready to start a family with another man?

He definitely has turned crazy.

He could only sigh, again.

*Flash*

Just as he sighed he was blinded by the reflection of a bright light on the table. He sat up straight and his eyes ended upstairs.

That’s her room!

He sneaked upstairs. He didn’t know why he was sneaking around in his own house, but he did so without thinking. Her door was open. He hid in the dark shadow and peeked in.

She was wearing her usual boring PJs but she was sitting on the bed and was rubbing hand cream on her hands as she got ready for bed.

When did she start to become so...

Leonardo paused his thoughts as his eyes ended up behind her hands and on her chest.

Wait... 34DD... She didn’t lie... Was it always there? How did I not see it before?

"Leo?" Angelina called and Leonardo held his breath.

As always... she’s like a hound to sniff him out. She hasn’t changed.

"I know you’re there, Leo," she said looking right at him.

Leonardo sighed and stepped into the light. "Are you a hound?" he asked.

"I’m a cat," Angelina chuckled. "I can see clearly in the night as in the day..."

Leonardo scoffed and walked in. "When did you come back? How was your date?" He cleared his throat as a bitterness rose in his throat when he said "date".

Angelina shrugged. "What are you doing up? Are you bored? Should we play a board game or something?" she asked.

"But you’re about to sleep. You must be tired," Leonardo said.

"It’s fine," Angelina got down from the bed and walked to the drawer. "There must be something here... What about... Monopoly?" she asked looking at him with a smile.

Leonardo smiled back at her. This is what he loved about her. No matter what, she always prioritized him and she was always there for him. It was why he felt her loss when she was not near him anymore. Even now, he was bored and she knew it without him saying anything to her.

"Okay," he shrugged.

Yeah, just like old days...
