Chapter 370: He Makes Her Heart Skip A Beat

Boyfriend...

Viviana’s lips curved into a smile. She probably is the only woman in this world to call her husband a boyfriend. But she was grateful he is with her. She wanted him with her for the premiere and here he is! Other things didn’t matter.

Leander walked to the mirror and did a final touch-up on his beard. He’s growing out his beard because he thinks that people won’t identify him if he had a beard. He looked the same for her through. But maybe she was partial because she always focused on his eyes. She was a little sad he was hiding his strong jawline with a beard though.

Although he had been growing out his beard for a month now, he had a very thick beard. Maybe it’s his genetics or it could be his testosterone. She leaned toward the latter. His voice was deeper as the Mariana Trench and although he’s lost some weight, he is muscles have gotten harder. She’s not a scientist, but she knew. He’s been very "active" these days. She was not complaining. Why would she when she has her husband to warm her bed?

Her life is wonderful! She has everything she ever asked for and some more. She has a family!

"Your beard is not going to fool anyone," she said for the umptieth time in the past week. Although she didn’t see any difference in his face, she preferred him without a beard. "You look generic now."

He had a distinctive jawline and now it’s gone. She mourned his strong jawline. Only men with double chins need a beard. Not her husband!

"I’m never generic. I’m standing next to you!" Leander winked at her. Seeing her frown turn upside down, his heart filled with glee.

At times Leander pretended he didn’t hear her. He had found the skill of "selective hearing" to be pretty useful especially when his wife has turned to be of the nagging sort. He didn’t find her nagging off-putting though. He admired her when she nagged. She’d look cute. From looking at him with fire in her eyes to getting so comfortable with him enough for her to nag—she’s grown a lot. He loved her the way she was.

At times, he would retort her like this and when he sees her eyes gleaming with mirth, he would feel like he had achieved his life’s purpose. It is true. A happy wife is indeed a happy life.

Viviana went to check on Ziya. She patted her cheeks which were blushing.

That mouth that drips honey... Ahhh! He’s amazing! He still makes my heart skip a beat!

"Where are you going? I haven’t even started on how beautiful you look. Wait for me..." Leander ran behind her. He loved to see her face blush.

After settling Ziya and after making sure Viviana’s face was red out of laughing, Leander prepared to leave.

"Signora..." Steve bowed his head.

Viviana pretended she didn’t hear him. She hadn’t talked to Steve ever since Leander returned. Steve took a step back with his head bowed.

Leander patted Steve in a comforting way. He said nothing and opened the door for Viviana. After getting in the car, Leander stared at her.

"What?" Viviana asked. "He could have told me you made a plan. I saw him! In the fire and he...He then went and became an informant for the cops! " she looked at him. He had a small smile crawling at the corners of his lips. Viviana felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Steve didn’t do anything on his own. He was following this guy’s orders. She knew Steve was a big part of Leander’s plans and he must be the reason Leander could get over the struggles he faced till now.

"Fine! I will talk to him...soon," she said with a curl on her lips.

Leander kissed her cheek. He knew she was not angry at Steve. She was angry at him. Too bad she loves him too much and displaces her anger at poor Steve. Steve understands. It’s fine.

*Screech*

Their car came to a sudden halt just as they got to the gates. "What is it?" Leander asked.

Viviana looked to the side and noticed the blockage in the road. "It’s Helena," she said rolling down the window.

With her arms spread, she was standing blocking the road. They could make the turn on the other side and take a scenic route. Viviana looked at the other side. Blocking the road were two girls. The oldest didn’t look older than ten.

Are those Helena’s daughters?

They are Ziya’s sisters.

What is Helena thinking? Why did she bring them here?

The smile on Leander’s face vanished. Pressing his lips, he leaned on the seat. Vivana took a glance at him and decided to finish this soon. Helena must be planning something if she brought her daughters here.

What is she doing with those kids here? What a vile woman!

"Move," she shouted peeking her head out. She had a good look at her. She had lost a lot of weight and the usual glow on her face was missing probably because she was not wearing any makeup. Viviana’s heart melted a little. No matter what, that woman is her sister.

Helena smirked seeing Viviana. The malice in her face reminded Viviana why she would never have a sister. She took in a deep breath and hardened her heart remembering the words Helena told her as Orchid Gardens was burning.

I cannot forgive her! She is someone who can’t even show mercy for her baby. I cannot expect love from her.

"I knew you would go out! You cannot hide from me forever! Did you get the invite to the premiere? Why didn’t he invite me? Does he think he’s that~"

"What do you want, Helena?" Viviana interjected her. "I have to leave now."

She was told by the security that Helena approached their house a couple of times in the past week but Leander didn’t see her in his walks out so she figured Helena might have left. What does she want now?
