Chapter 239

• Sofia’s POV
• Today has been a long day and I had been really bored at a certain point around noon. It got to a point whereby I didn’t feel like painting anymore and just resulted in reading one of my new books right there in the middle of our bedroom upstairs. I managed to convinced Ryan into taking me to the garden at the back of the house and this time, he had tried to refuse adamantly but I didn’t back down one bit because I knew there was no way he was going to be able to call Luca and inform him about the new development, seeing as there was some things which I sometimes kept from Luca for him, and vise versa. I also knew there wasn’t any way that he’d be able to force me into following his order or trying to physically restrain me, which was why I was able to ignore him and kept on walking to the corner that led around the house until as expected, he had come forward to fall into step beside me after a couple of seconds.
• We managed to talk together this time at the garden unlike the last time I was there, where we hadn’t been able to talk there at all. Talking to Ryan was sometimes among the things I look forward to at the start of a day, because it was one of the things that kept me sane. He was one of the people I had spoken to a lot here in this house apart from Luca, that is. It didn’t matter that he was the bodyguard and that we weren’t even supposed to be getting closer to each other to begin with, but then I just couldn’t bring myself to not talk to him.
