Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 330

Chapter 330 Between Husband And Wife
Evelyn's eyes remained fixed on Leonardo, her gaze smoldering with an intense desire that threatened to consume him whole. Her seductive stare held a promise of passion as if she would pounce on him the moment the opportunity presented itself. Her hunger for him was palpable, so palpable that it seemed she could practically taste him in the air. A slight sheen of perspiration glistened on her forehead, a testament to the heat that burned within her.

As Leonardo introduced Sofia as his wife, a flicker of something dangerous passed through Evelyn's eyes. It was a burning gaze that bore into Sofia, filled with a lethal intent that could have incinerated her with its intensity. But just as quickly as it appeared, Evelyn concealed it behind a carefully crafted smile, masking her true feelings. Sofia, innocent and unsuspecting, felt a sudden wave of nervousness wash over her, unsure of the storm brewing beneath Evelyn's facade.

"Nice to meet you, Sofia," Evelyn said, her voice laced with a hint of sultriness, as she extended her hand towards Sofia in a seemingly friendly gesture. Sofia, eager to maintain a polite demeanor, reciprocated and began to extend her hand. However, before their hands could meet, Leonardo swiftly intercepted Sofia's hand, capturing it possessively in his own. His grip was firm, almost possessive as if he were staking a claim over Sofia in front of Evelyn.

"Excuse us, Evelyn," Leonardo declared in a cold, commanding tone. His words carried an undercurrent of dismissal as if he deemed Evelyn unimportant in that moment. "I have some more important people to meet. I will catch you later." With that, he turned away from Evelyn, leading Sofia to the other side of the bustling hall. Sofia glanced back at Evelyn, her eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.

As they walked together, Leonardo introduced Sofia to various members of his esteemed society. All eyes turned towards her, casting glances that held a mixture of curiosity, intrigue, and even judgment. Sofia felt like an outsider, but then their gazes met Leonardo's steely glare. The onlookers swiftly averted their eyes, their expressions transforming from curiosity to caution, for they knew better than to challenge Leonardo's authority and protection.

After a whirlwind of meeting and greeting countless people, Sofia's parched mouth pleaded for a drink, while her stomach growled in hunger. A subtle tension lingered in the air as they approached the Anderson couple, Evelyn's parents, an uneasiness that did not escape Sofia's notice.

Finally, the flurry of social interactions came to an end, and Leonardo guided her to a seat. With a gentle gesture, he pulled out a chair, a silent invitation for her to sit. Sofia gratefully complied, feeling relief wash over her. The dryness of her lips compelled her to moisten them with a swift lick, a reflexive reaction to her thirst.

Leonardo's eyes momentarily flickered upon her lips, capturing the subtle gesture before he beckoned a waiter to bring refreshments to their table. His voice, laced with warmth and concern, reached Sofia's ears, "What would you like to drink, baby girl?" His gaze penetrated deep into her being, his eyes holding a mesmerizing power. A wave of conflicting emotions washed over her as she couldn't help but be drawn to the sweet yet captivating aura he emanated.

Sofia, caught off guard by his intensity, replied with a touch of playfulness, "Anything will do. I'm quite adaptable when it comes to food and drink." She saw him shake his head in amusement, a chuckle escaping his lips. His mere presence sent shivers down her spine, an intoxicating blend of sweetness and magnetism that left her breathless.

As he prepared to fetch their drinks, Leonardo issued a gentle warning, his tone tinged with possessiveness. "You wait here, seated. I'll bring something for you. And don't wander off without me." His words held a protective edge, a clear indication that he cared deeply for her safety and well-being.

Left alone at the table, Sofia waited patiently, her eyes scanning the room. It was then that she noticed Evelyn, a smirk playing on her lips as she approached. Sofia couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment towards the audacious intruder. Evelyn's words dripped with mockery, aimed at undermining the connection between Sofia and Leonardo.

"So, finally, he left you alone. How long is he going to drag you around? You're so dull and far from being his equal. He must be embarrassed," Evelyn taunted in a condescending tone, relishing in her attempt to belittle Sofia.

Refusing to be drawn into her game, Sofia responded in a composed voice, "The dynamics between Leonardo and me are ours alone, and you needn't interfere in matters between couples. I suggest you mind your own business." Her words, though neutral in tone, carried an undertone of determination, a warning to Evelyn not to overstep her boundaries.
