chapter 26 : You're my everything

The sunlight filtering through the curtains bathed the room in a soft, golden glow. The ambient calm felt almost unreal after the chaos we had endured in recent days. Alessandro was still sound asleep beside me, his slow and steady breathing reassuring me. I slipped out of bed carefully, not wanting to wake him, and made my way to the living room to savor a moment of tranquility.

Before heading downstairs, I stopped by Leo's room to check on him. I found Mila leaning over his crib, a tender smile on her face as she adjusted the blanket around my son with meticulous care. The day before, she had offered to officially become his nanny, an idea I had immediately shared with Alessandro. After a brief discussion, we had decided together that she would be perfect for the role. Watching her care for our son with such devotion and attention reassured me that we had made the right decision.
