"I know a lot has happened between us," he said, his gaze intense.
“And with the revelation that was unearthed yesterday, there are still a lot of things to work through. But even so, I have feelings for you, and I know you have the same feelings for me, and with the knowledge that I have a son, I want to give our relationship a try.”
I froze, not knowing how to respond.
My heart was pounding in anticipation.
The idea of being with Dante again made my heart threaten to leap out of my chest.
But what if he only said this because of his son?
My anxiety must have shown on my face because he reached over and held my hand.
“And no, it’s not because of our son that I want to be with you. Surely, you must have noticed my affection for you even before the revelation. I developed feelings for you three years ago, and I still have those feelings towards you but stronger.”
My heart was racing with excitement, and I could barely contain the joy that was bubbling up inside me.
"Yes," I replied without hesitation, my voice filled with happiness.
Dante's smile widened, and he reached over to take my hand.
"I'm so happy to hear that, Angela. Would you officially be my lover?" he asked, his gaze fixed on mine.
I felt a surge of warmth flood through me at his words.
"Yes!" I exclaimed, my cheeks aching from how widely I was smiling.
Dante's hand tightened around mine, and I could feel the love and affection he had for me radiating from him.
For the first time in a long time, I felt truly happy and content.
Maybe things were finally starting to look up for us.
“There’s something else I wanted to ask you.” He said with a smirk.
I was looking forward to the next question he wanted to ask me since the first one had been pleasant.
“Since we’re now together and we have a son, why don’t you and our son move in with me into the Cortini house?”
As soon as Dante finished his sentence, I felt a knot form in my stomach.
Moving in with Dante was not what I had anticipated him to ask.
Yes, I had strong feelings for him, but I was not ready to uproot my life and move in with him just yet.
I needed time to think, to process everything that had happened between us, and I also had to think about Dominic.
I couldn’t just bring Dominic to a new place where he knew no one.
As bad as I felt about Dominic not knowing about his father, I had to put him first.
It couldn’t be so abrupt, and there was no way Dominic would be able to adapt to a new environment.
"I don't know, Dante," I said hesitantly.
"I don’t think it would be appropriate for Dominic to have to suddenly have to adjust to a new environment.”
Dante's face fell, and I could sense his disappointment.
