"Mom!" Leora shouted when she saw her family in the dining room.
Her mom is standing and looking at her in disbelief. Leora runs towards her mom, leaving Matteo in the doorway, looking at them with a deep gaze.
She hugs her mom tightly. Her father approaches them and hugs them with a tear falling from his eyes.
"We are proud of you, Leora." Her father says kissing her head.
"You are okay right, sweety?" Her mom asks while looking at her body thoroughly.
"I'm ok, mom. , Matteo takes care of me very well." Leora says trying to include Matteo into the conversation.
She worries that he only standing at her interaction with the family. After all, she knows that he doesn't have a good family like her. He must want to have a warm and wonderful family, and she can share her family with him.
"Thank you for keeping your word." Her father says to Matteo and shakes his hand.
"Let's eat first. We can talk while we're eating." Matteo says while smiling at her father and walking towards Leora.
Leora smiled at Matteo and reached out her hand toward him. Matteo takes her hand and sits in the dining room where so much food is already served.
Nobody is seated at the head, Matteo knows that he needs to respect her parents, while her parents know that Matteo is the Don and needs to be respected. So Leora, Matteo, and Leo are seated on the right side, and her parents and Leona sit on the right side.
After praying, they dug in while the conversation started to flow.
"So how is everybody right now?" Leora asks, trying to warm the atmosphere.
"We are good, your mom started a bakery one year ago." Her dad says.
"Yeah, and your brother doesn't listen to me about college, he doesn't want to do anything. " Her mom grumbling makes Leo roll his eyes.
"I told you, I'm a pro player. You just don't understand. " Leo says.
"What game do you play?" Matteo asks, making Leo's eyes sparkle with passion.
"Valoran. I'm already signing a contract with an international group." Leo puffed his chest in pride.
"That's great," Leora says in excitement even when she doesn't understand anything that he says.
"Don't encourage him to do what he wants." Her mother grumbles at her.
"Mom let him do what he wants, after all, it's good that he knows what he wants to do," Leona says while smiling at her brother.
"How about you sis? Did Ryan treat you right?" Leora asks.
"Yeah, he is. We are expecting our first child." Leona's smile is mesmerizing when she hears about her husband and stroking her belly in gentleness.
"Congratulations," Matteo says and smiles at her, while Leora is frozen in place when she remembers she needs to tell her family about her pregnancy too.
She is just afraid of what her mother thinks about this child. Knowing that her parents won't accept Matteo's background she hated that her parents would not accept her little family.
Matteo holds her hand and squeezes it tight when he sees that this topic makes her uneasy. He dragged her chair to him and moved his head towards her ears to whisper 'Do you want me to bring up this topic?' To her ears.
Leora looked at him and nodded her head while dragging his hand more closely to her body.
"We want to share something too," Matteo says in authority taking all attention towards his voice.
"We want to tell you that we are expecting our first child too," Matteo says with a big warm smile that makes her parents see that he cares about his family.
"Really congratulations," Leona says in excitement and stands up to go closer to Leora.
While her mother is in tears and takes her hand to squeeze it in her warm hands.
"Are you and the baby healthy all this time?" Her mother asks in worry.
"We're very healthy Mom," Leora says with glossy eyes.
"My baby is already big." Her father comments in emotional tones.
"Congratulations Matteo. Take care of your little family." Her father says in seriousness.
"I'll, you have my words," Matteo says in a determined tone.
Leora and Leona now laughing at each other while stroking each other bellies. They laugh when Leora can feel that her sister's baby kicks her hands.
"They'll get along once they arrive," Leona says caressing Leora's belly.
"I hope so." Leora smiles at her sisters, she feels so emotional right now. Knowing that she will have a baby with her sister together.
"Where is Ryan, why he didn't come here?" Leora asks when her sister seat at Leo's place.
"He is busy with his work. He can't leave because one of his clients had a hearing this week. He needs to prepare it since it's a big case." Leona sighs with a longing in her face.
"I know he will make it up to you," Leora says to try to cheer her sister up.
"We can go outside to shop after lunch." Her sisters suggest.
Her sister's request makes Leora automatically look at Matteo with so much hope. Realizing her hopeful gaze at him, he sighs and nods his head at her.
"Alright!" Leora shouts in excitement.
"I don't want to go shopping. " Leo grumbles.
"How about all the boys can do something different? You need to bond also." Leora's mom suggested.
"We don't need to. After all, Matteo seems to be busy." Leora's father tries to dismiss it, knowing that it will be awkward.
"I don't mind," Matteo says making all the girls beaming with happiness while the boys are speechless with him.
"Then it is a deal." Her mom clapped her hands.
They continue with their lunch, while her family is busy with some small arguments, Leora walks towards where Matteo sits and hugs him from behind.
"Thank you." She whispers in his ear and kisses it. Matteo drags her to his lap and kisses her lips gently.
"You still need a bodyguard okay." He says and spoons a rice to her mouth. Leora takes her bites from him and nods her head.
"After all I already get used to being followed by your men." She says.
"While you are with your mom and sisters, don't forget to buy your phone" Matteo whispers at her.
"I forgot about it. Why did you lose my phone?" She glares at him while holding his arms tightly.
"You can't blame me, after all, you are the one who throws it away." Matteo put her hair behind her ears and bited her ears gently.
"Fine. " Leora says and stands up from his lap.
"So where are you boys will going?" Leora asks.
"I choose to stay at home and play games," Leo comments.
"Yeah, I think it'll be better to stay at home." Her father says.
"And what will you guys do?" Leona asks.
"We can play billiard, or do you want to do some shooting practice," Leora suggested. Leo stands from his seat.
"Hell yeah, I'm in," Leo shouts.
"I want to try to." Her father says.
"I'll prepare it," Matteo says typing to his men to prepare it.
