Chapter 167 He Cares

Stefano came home that evening and, to Leah’s quiet delight, joined her for dinner. He didn’t retreat to a separate room or come up with excuses. Instead, he slept beside her—in the same room, on the same bed. When Leah shyly asked him to spoon her through the night, he didn’t protest. He simply pulled her into his arms, his warmth lulling her into the most peaceful sleep she had had in weeks. What surprised her even more was the next morning. Stefano didn’t rush off to work before she woke up. He stayed—until her eyes fluttered open, and he joined her for breakfast as if it were a normal routine.
