Chapter 113- self contradictory

When Sophia woke up, Capone was already there. They had breakfast together, followed by a lunch of Italian pasta. Then he immersed himself in work, appearing busier than ever compared to previous days.

In the evenings, he was rarely able to make it back in time for dinner. Instead, Lucy kept her company and took care of the household chores.

Sophia always went to bed early, though she hardly ever fell asleep right away. She could sense when Capone returned. He would quietly open the door, stand by her bed for a while, and sometimes lean down to embrace her, leaving a kiss on her forehead before leaving. He never took things further.

The villa remained devoid of communication devices, except for a television and a computer without internet access. Her room now had a small bookshelf, which had previously been almost empty. It was now filled with popular novels, manga, and beautifully bound books on Western desserts, which she could use to pass the time.
