Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 119

VICTORIA'S POV...

"He looks just like me..." Papa said in a dreamy tone looking down at his newly born grandson, who is just three years old.

"Looks like you? Heh!" Antonio commented with a smug face. "My nephew looks like me, the end of the discussion." He declared spreading his arms as if feeling a satisfied breeze, only to get smacked on his head by Papa.

"How could that be! Look at his face! He looks like me!" Papa argued, while...

"I guess, all of you lost your eye sights!" Grandma spoke all of a sudden. "My great-grandson has exact features like his great-grandfather." She smiled, clasping her hands together and smiling at my sleeping son.

"Yeah... He does look like all of you other than me." Alessandro's duh tone came from the corner of the room, as my eyes turned to him. He is focused on slicing apples for me.

All the members only looked at him once and ignore him in The next second before continuing their dreamy imaginations.

I heard Mama chuckle and frown a little. "Don't you think all of them are mad enough?" I whispered in her ear, not wanting them to listen and burst their bubbles.

Mama chuckled again, "This is the beauty, don't you think so?"

Beauty? I thought in mind. How come?

"Just look at them. They also know what is the truth but they all have their imaginations surrounding that little life. Just three days of him appearing into this world and he is already the apple of their eyes. Isn't it beautiful?"

I turned my gaze to the people, surrounding that little glass-covered bed with the little angel lying inside. It's true, he is the apple of all eyes. How could he not?

I smiled... And then I heard,

"What do you think, Victoria? Who does he look like?" Antonio asked and all the eyes turned to me. Even, Aless also looked at me, stopping his work.

I sat straight and then slowly and carefully, take my baby in my arms from his bed. He still has a pipe attached to his nose and the doctor said, he won't need I anymore after he is fully recovered from his premature weakness.

I looked at him. His black hair, straight nose and long dark eyelashes only point toward one person.

"Leonardo... Just looks like his father." I said, watching him.

And immediately heard a disappointed sigh, "Yeah, not so partial." Antonio narrowed his eyes.

Others only laughed, when the nurse came inside with a smile.

In just three days, the whole of the hospital became like a family. Nurses and doctors are friendly and they are so caring like a family.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for you to leave for now. The baby and his mother need some alone time." She said softly and everyone went out, excluding Alessandro.

It was always Mama or Alessandro who stays with me in feeding times or other times. Because I need help with lots of things still.

After everyone is gone, the nurse adjusted Leo on my arms. He needs to handle with much more sensitively because of his weak condition. He is a premature baby, after all.

She helped me remove my one breast and I started feeding her. The nurse left and this time it was only Aless.

He came beside me and helped me hold our son. Because, not only Leo, I am also much weak than other mothers. We did it quietly and after I was done feeding him, he once again placed Leo on his destined bed.

Aless helped me button my maternity gown from the hospital and I leaned my head on his arms as he wrapped me around securely. We both watched our child, sleeping.

He is sleeping most of the time and it's needed for his health.

"So, how did you come up with the name Leonardo?" Aless asked, caressing my hair softly. "Was it preplanned?"
