Isabella raised her head and glanced at him in shock. “What?” She asked again just to confirm what he had just said.
Matteo’s gaze was transfixed to his wrist as he unbuttoned the hand of his suit. “Mm”, He murmured and nodded his head slightly, not noticing Isabella's eyes were blurring due to tears welling up in her eyes. After releasing the button on his wrist, he glanced at her with serious concern in his green eyes and briefly examined her face before realizing she was crying. He yearned to kiss her chubby cheek and wiped the tears from her face then comfort her by telling her that everything would be alright as long as he is here. He felt his heart ached because of her and he turned his head away, unable to look at her in the face with that expression in her eyes; why are women so weak, Matteo wondered as he hated the fact that she is weak and it’s killing him inside.
