Mia felt a pang of disappointment in her heart. He had forgotten their appointment for her prenatal check-up. His question and disheveled appearance told her that she was no longer a priority; he had buried himself in work again.
Why do people do this? They chase after something or someone until they finally have it, only to take it for granted and forget the struggles they faced to possess that precious person.
Mia swallowed her hurt and lifted her chin defiantly. Although part of her wanted to ignore him, to walk past him without a word, her heart wouldn't allow it. She couldn't bring herself to hurt him, whether intentionally or not.
"I have my routine check-up, and the kids are accompanying me," she replied indifferently, meeting his gaze with an intense stare. She tightened her grip on the children's hands and began to walk away.
"Wait" Alessandro called out, gently holding Mia's elbow to stop her. "How can you leave me alone?" To Mia's surprise, she saw her usually ruthless husband pouting. "Weren't we supposed to go to the doctor together?" he whined in a soft tone.
Mia narrowed her beautiful, almond-shaped eyes. This man was impossible to understand. He could change his mind with the snap of his fingers.
"Really?" Mia challenged. "Did you even remember it, hubby?" she taunted, raising an eyebrow.
"How could I dare forget something so important, mia moglie?" Alessandro replied, a chuckle escaping his lips. He feigned victimhood as if Mia were the one bullying him.
Mia rolled her eyes at her mafia husband's antics, exasperated yet slightly amused by his playful demeanor.
"Daddy, that was very bad," Gia scoffed, giggling and covering her mouth with her tiny hands.
"Really?" Alessandro winced, bowing to his daughter's level.
"Yeah," Gia whispered, nodding with empathy. "You should improve your acting."
"Alright!" Mia snapped, observing the exchange between father and daughter. "What's going on here?"
It seemed they had teamed up, and she was the only one unaware of their plans.
"Mom, actually Daddy called and asked for help," Maximo spilled the beans, always eager to be a momma's boy.
"Help?!" Mia raised an eyebrow, intrigued and suspicious.
Alessandro stood tall before Mia, taking her soft hand in his large one.
"I was running late, and I didn't want to upset you, amore mio. So I asked for our kids help, and we all planned to surprise you," he explained softly, stepping closer and finding comfort in his wife's proximity. "And don't worry about the appointment; I spoke to the doctor and rescheduled it, so we're not late," he added, smiling brightly at her.
Mia couldn't help but smile back, even as she pretended to be upset.

"But you're still not forgiven," she scolded playfully.

"Of course, your slave is here for your punishment," Alessandro husked flirtatiously, causing Mia to part her lips in embarrassment.
"What are you saying, Alessandro?" she whispered, a hint of a whine in her voice. "The kids are watching." She reminded him through gritted teeth, but Alessandro couldn't help but smirk at her flustered expression.
"Our kids are incredibly smart," he said proudly. "Just see for yourself."
When Mia looked down, she found their children staring off in different directions, covering their ears.
"Gosh!" Mia groaned. "Like father, like children!" she mutteredfin irritation. "So dramatic!"
It seemed the twins had inherited every trait from their mafia father, and Mia couldn't help but wonder. what she had done wrong that the twins hadn't picked up any of her behavior.
Alessandro laughed wholeheartedly, hearing his wife's joyous feelings, before gently kissing her pouting lips. "Now, can we leave, la mia regina?" he asked softly.
Mia nodded, and the kids turned toward them as well. Alessandro took the medical file and Mia's purse. while holding Gia and Maximo's hands. He walked out of the mansion, servants watching him as if he were the eighth wonder of the world, but he didn't care about anyone but his family. Mia smiled at her husband's sweet attempt to surprise her. He was a real man who didn't care about his strong appearance; instead, he showed his emotional side and genuine care for his family, He was her man.
However, she still couldn't shake the feeling that something was troubling Alessandro. Something was once again coming between him and her. A wife's instincts couldn't be wrong. Though he didn't want to talk about it, she could sense that her husband was in deep trouble, and she needed to find out what it was.
