Chapter 388

Vincenzo

A belated honeymoon?

What the hell was I even thinking?

The idea had popped out of my mouth before I could fully think about it, and it was all because of guilt.

Aria’s excitement had me regretting the words almost immediately as I did not want to give her the wrong impression. She said she loved me, and here I was-taking her on a honeymoon. It wasn’t helping my

case.

As much as I appreciated her love, my opinion of her hadn’t changed. She was not someone I could see myself with, and I would never love her. I didn’t even know if I could.

I pitied her because she was raised in a mess of a family she didn’t ask for. I pitied her because she didn’t know any better.

A deep sigh escaped my lips as I carefully thought about my next steps. I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, be alone with her, and I would pull every string to avoid that from happening.

Sprinting down the stairs, I headed to Luis, who was in the back, studying with Livia. His results had been good the past few days. A good reason to make him tag along.

Seeing the two working together made me feel at ease, and I hated to break it up-but it was necessary. “Luis!” I interrupted them as they both looked up from their books. “Pack your suitcase. We’re going on a

vacation.

Livia looked up, her eyes meeting mine with a soft smile on her lips. Luis gasped, then he jumped up from his seat. “Really?” he exclaimed. “Where are we going?”

“Miami!”

Luis frowned, clearly disappointed. “That’s hardly a vacation, Vince.” he shook his head. “It’s like visiting our next-door neighbors.”
