My Runaway Groom Came Back I Became His Aunt! novel Chapter 21

Chapter 5

Old Mr. Mancuso’s emotions, suppressed for far too long, finally erupted. He pointed at Leonardo, voice

trembling with rage.

“Your mistress ran over Sofia and forced her into premature labor. The baby suffocated inside her before it

even had a chance to be saved. Her grandmother died from the shock.”

“Leonardo, every bit of this is your doing!”

Leonardo stood frozen, disbelief written all over his face. He looked around, then let out a derisive laugh. He

tore the divorce papers into shreds.

“Grandfather, you’re too old to be playing along with Sofia’s little theatrics.”

“I don’t believe for a second she’d dare divorce me. She’d never walk away from the power and wealth of the

Mancuso family.”

He kicked the funeral arrangement aside.

“Putting these gloomy things in the house… really? Just because you’re mad I didn’t come home to see the

kid?”

“Well, I’m here now. Where’s my child? Bring him to me. Did you name him yet? Does he look like me or like

Sofia?”

Leonardo whistled a low, dissonant tune as he glanced around. But every servant kept their head lowered,

faces weighted with sorrow.

No one answered him. A prickle of unease slid through Leonardo’s chest. He started searching the estate

room after room. But nothing was found.

And his voice, once arrogant, began to falter.

“Where are you hiding my child? Grandfather, I know I went too far last time. I shouldn’t have laid hands on

Sofia,”

“But she gave birth. Do you really think she’d still divorce me? Just tell me where she is. I’ll go apologize and

coax her back.”

He didn’t spare a thought for Sofia’s pain. He never had.

Leonardo believed Sofia couldn’t leave him. No matter how cruel he was, she always swallowed her dignity for her grandmother’s sake.

And now they had a child. Another anchor to drag her back to the depths. He was certain she wouldn’t divorce him. Even more certain she wouldn’t leave.

Old Mr. Mancuso raised his cane and struck Leonardo across the back with all his strength.

“You vile creature. How did the Mancuso family raise a monster like you? A woman as good as Sofia and you cast her aside for a cheap internet celebrity.”

Leonardo simply shrugged, settling comfortably onto the sofa and crossing his legs.

“You’re saying all this because of that trending topic, right? So you all teamed up to scare me.”
