Anupama's POV:-
"Yes, I am perfectly alright Alessandro. Also, our babies are fine too you don't need to ask me the same question from time to time." I reply over the phone with a smile.
"I know that I am asking the same question but what am I supposed to do if I can't stop thinking about you all?" Alessandro asks and I can clearly hear the frustration in his tone.
"You are coming back tomorrow so you can see from your own eyes that whatever I have said is true. By the way, how is your work going on there?" I ask and throw a squeaky toy towards Fonsie who leaps in the air to catch it with his mouth.
"It seems that we will be able to finalize the deal today after the final meeting with the CEO of the company. I just need to show them that we are capable of building a fine restaurant chain in Bristol too like we have done in other places." He replies.
"That's great and I have faith in your capabilities that you will be able to get the deal. By the way, I am going out with Olivia and Jasmine di to have a girls day out. Both of them are free today so Jasmine di has suggested that I should go out of the mansion to have some fresh air." I inform him casually.
"But you need rest Tesoro-" He starts complaining but I stop him in the mid-sentence.
"Jasmine di is the one who has told me to go out and if she thinks that it won't be causing any problem to our little bean then I don't think you need to worry about my going out, Alessandro." I tell him sternly.
"Okay, fine but you need to take at least ten guards with you for safety measures." He orders making me roll my eyes.
"I am only taking five guards with me and that's final or I will not go." I reply.
"You are so stubborn, Cara." He complains making me giggle.
"By the way, what time is it in there?" I ask upon realizing that there has a eight hours time gap between LA and Bristol. So if it's day time in here then it's must be evening in there.
"It's 6 PM in here and I have my meeting at 7 PM. So, I am going to cut the call because I need to survey the presentation one last time." He replies.
"Okay, then you do your work and I will enjoy with my girl gang. I love you, bye." I tell him.
"I love you too, Cara." He replies and cuts the call making me pout. I wanted to talk more but he needs to do his work so that he can come soon. I hear a bark in front of me making my head snap towards Fonsie who is sitting with head tilted to the side. I open my arms and he climbs on the bench where I am sitting before plopping his head on my lap. I run my hand through his fur and feel like he needs a shower because of the dust coming out of his fur.
"You and your brothers need a nice bath Fonsie. But I know that you guys only like it when your Papa gives you baths so we will wait for him to come back." I tell the giant dog who barks in response.
"Anu, you are not ready yet?" Jasmine di asks coming into the garden with Advira in her arms. Both of them are ready for the outing.
"I was talking to Alessandro so I got late. Don't worry I will be ready in 15 minutes." I reply to her with a smile and stand up from my place before going inside the house to get ready for the day out. I wear a long flowery sundress with a minimum makeup on my face.
I pack a bag of some necessary items for Advira and me before getting out of my bedroom. I knock on Mama Melody's room and hear a come in so I open the door to see that she is also getting ready. She will be going out with Uncle Gabriel to his friend's place and that's why she is not accompanying us for the day out.
"Are you guys ready to leave, dolcezza?" Mama asks coming towards me.
"Yes, we are ready and I can see that you are also ready for your date with Uncle Gabriel." She hits my arm playfully but a light blush coats her cheeks at the mention of her husband's name.
"We are not going on a date silly. Stop making fun of me." She scolds me with a smile making me laugh.
"Okay, I get it but still you are going to spend some alone time with him so it's a bonus for both of you." I reply.
"You will be late so go away from here." She says and starts to shoo me while pointing at the door. I burst into a fit of laughter but get out of her room leaving a tomato-faced Mama Melody behind. I get out of the mansion to see that the dogs are sitting on the porch. I wanted to take them with us but we will be going to a lot of places and it will be a problem to take them everywhere with us. Because not every place will allow dogs so I mentally remind myself to take my furry babies in the amusement park after their Papa will come back. I pet them and kiss them on the heads before getting into the SUV along with Jasmine di and Advira.
We pick up Olivia on the way from her home. First, the car stops in front of the shopping mall and all of us get out of the car before getting inside the mall. First, Olivia takes us to a shop name Dolce & Gabbana which I find ridiculous because I don't think anyone of us need anything from there. Also, I have heard that the clothes in here are very expensive.
"You still don't get it Anu. We girls love to shop and when you have your husband or fiance's credit card with you, you have the right to spend as much as you want." Olivia comments while looking at some tops for her. I look at her with confusion but then she shows me a credit card and then Jasmine di does the same.
"Anu, Olivia has Samuel's credit card and I have Subho's as they have told us to buy whatever you want. So, we are going to buy whatever catches our eyes and you are going to do the same with this." By saying this Jasmine di shows me the black card Alessandro has given me to use.
"But how did you find this card? I remember correctly that I have refused to use his money without any reason and has given the card back to him." I let out in frustration but the two only laugh at me.
"I know that Anu and that's why your husband has asked me to take this card from Mama Melody because you won't be using this card by yourself." Jasmine di replies with a smirk.
"I will not talk to him for going behind my back. I have my own earnings and I want to spend that money. But no, he has to do whatever he wants." I mumble to myself but I think others hear me because Olivia puts her hand on my shoulder with a gentle smile.
"Alessandro knows well that you have your own job and he doesn't need to give you money. But you need to understand his point of view too, Anu. He earns money for his family so if you don't spend this money then what is the meaning of him working? He just wants you to use his money to do shopping. It's not like you always come to shopping so I think it's alright to spend his money from time to time. You can save your earnings for the future or you can use them in buying something for Alessandro." Olivia lets out and I realize that she is correct. So, I give her a small smile with a head nod before turning to Jasmine di who is still holding the black card. I take the card from her with a sigh and tells them that today's lunch will be my treat.
I pick out some cute dresses and skirts for Advira while Olivia and Jasmine di pick out clothes for us. We also buy something for Mama Melody and Bianca who doesn't get to come with us. I don't forget about Delilah and Mia so while choosing clothes for Avira, I pick out some pretty dresses for them too. We pay for the clothes and then Olivia drags us to Victoria's Secret much to my horror. I block Advira's eyes with my hands not wanting her to see the skimpy lingerie around the shop.
"You still behaves like a newly married bride who blushes whenever someone talks about intimacy between you and your husband." Jasmine di comments while Olivia giggles at the background.
"You are so gross di. Come on let's get out of here. I don't want Advira to be here." I tell her and go out of the shop without waiting for them to follow me.
"Mum-mum can me get toy?" Avira asks cutely.
"Of course baby. But you can only pick two toys for you." I reply and she nods her head with excitement. I smile at her and we walk to a toy shop where she selects a dollhouse along with a kid puzzle set. I have to say that I am impressed with the things she has chosen for her. I pay for the things before we go into a pet store before I pick out each boy a toy because I don't want them to fight over one another's toy. My phone starts ringing so I look at the caller ID to see that Olivia is calling me.
