Chapter 51

Alessandro signaled for the waiters and Lisa to leave them alone, wanting to speak with Gia and Maximo privately. As the room emptied, Maximo and Gia’s hearts raced, and they regretted coming here alone. “Why… why did you send them out?” Gia stammered, her voice trembling with fear.

Alessandro frowned, realizing he had unintentionally frightened her. He swiftly walked toward her, but she recoiled in fear.

“Don’t be scared, princess. I will never harm you,” he assured her gently. “I sent them out so we could talk privately.”

His soft tone eased Gia and Maximo’s fear, and they relaxed their postures.

“So, are the people who are following us sent by you, Mr. Valentino?” Gia asked, her innocent voice tinged with curiosity as she blinked her bright eyes.

Alessandro sighed deeply, knowing he couldn’t lie to this adorable angel. He had to give her a reply.
