My Blind Fiancée

Ava tensed up immediately. She hadn’t thought that she would have to see the man responsible for her suffering again. Mateo quickly noticed her reaction.

“Ava, I know my grandfather caused you pain with what he said. He acted wrongly, but he’s an old man now. I apologize on his behalf. Please don’t deny him the right to meet his grandson.”

Ava turned to look at Lola. Although she didn’t like Guido, Mateo was right. Matt was his grandson, and she couldn’t deny him the right to know him.

Mateo convinced Ava to take the little one to the mansion on the same day. He wanted his mother and grandfather not to miss another day of their grandson’s life.

“Ava, I know you don’t feel safe, and they will want explanations, but don’t be afraid. I’ll be there to support you. I just want my mother and grandfather to find out that Matt is their grandson. I assure you they will love him immediately.”

“I agree to go because I owe it to you. I can’t keep hiding their grandson. But I won’t let Guido offend me or try to take my son away. I warn you about that.”

Far from being bothered by Ava’s reaction, Mateo smiled. He liked her response and knew she would never keep their son away from him. He approached her to give her a tender kiss, and Lola came closer to take Matt with her to change him.

“I’ll take him to change, and I think your arms must be tired from holding him.”

“I’ll never tire of carrying my son. I have to make up for the time he hasn’t been with me.”

When Lola left with the child, Ava noticed that Mateo’s expression had turned serious. She knew what it was about.

“I truly am sorry, Mateo. I know you may never forgive me for this.”

“Ava, I don’t want to talk about it. It’s not the time. I want to enjoy the excitement of knowing I’m the father of a beautiful little boy,” Mateo repeated what he had already said. It was what he felt at that moment.

Ava sat beside him, silent, nervously tapping her foot. She felt anxious. Later, Lola returned with the child, having also freshened up. She stood in front of them.

“We’re ready. I know you didn’t invite me, but I’ll never leave my girl alone in a moment like this, especially when she’ll be with Mr. Guido. I apologize, Mr. Mateo, but your grandfather has already humiliated her enough for me to allow him to continue, and, sir, I need to talk to you later, when you have the time.”

Mateo cleared his throat uncomfortably. He imagined what Lola wanted to discuss with him. She had placed her trust in them, and they hadn’t respected it. He was sure it was about that.

“I can’t go dressed like this; I had forgotten.” Ava was dressed just as she had woken up. She hurriedly went to her room to change, while Mateo waited, playing with the little one.

Minutes later, Ava returned, and Mateo observed her. She looked very lovely, wearing a red dress in a princess cut above the knee, with her hair tied up in a high ponytail. Her appearance was fresh and youthful, making him feel old next to her once again.

The four of them left for the Licciardi mansion. Upon arrival, Mateo asked them to wait for a moment in the living room.

“Please wait here; I need to prepare them for the surprise. My grandfather is getting older, and this could have consequences.” Mateo truly feared that his grandfather might get upset due to the surprise.

Ava nodded, being inside that house again brought back many memories. Now she could see it, the place where Mateo’s engagement to Karla had taken place, not inside the house but in the garden near the pool area.

Ava closed her eyes for a moment and sighed softly. Lola imagined that the place held many memories for her. A short while later, Mateo returned. Guido and his mother were waiting in the living room. When they arrived, Ava could see that Guido seemed upset; he had his arms crossed over his chest and was pacing back and forth without staying still.

His stern face changed when he turned and saw his grandson. His eyes filled with tears instantly.

“It can’t be; he’s identical to you when you were little,” Mateo’s mother exclaimed. She immediately approached Ava to request to hold the child.

She hugged him tightly and then realized that she hadn’t greeted the girl and her nanny.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Ava, I’m sorry. Welcome to the Licciardi mansion.” She approached them again to greet them with a kiss on the cheek.

Guido approached his grandson, and the little one began to cry; he was scared.

“This grumpy old man is your grandfather, little one,” Ava said. At that time, Guido had let his white beard grow a bit. Matt stared at him for a moment, and then with his little hands, he pulled on Guido’s beard.

“Haha, it seems he’s breaking the ice,” Guido smiled at the child’s action.

Ava talked to them, choosing to be honest as she explained the reasons for her departure and why she had decided to hide her child. Guido felt terribly ashamed.

“I recognize that there is no forgiveness for what I have done. I have been responsible for my grandson not being with his son. I am deeply ashamed of my behavior.”

“Let’s leave the past behind, Grandfather. What’s important is that we are together again. You have no idea how I felt when I found out that Matt is my son. I felt overwhelming joy that filled my chest.”

They spent a pleasant afternoon together. Ava was offered to stay in the mansion to be closer to her son, although she didn’t want to feel obliged. She preferred to return to her apartment, and Mateo and his family understood that she would need time to readjust to the mansion.

Mateo drove them to the apartment, and little Matt had fallen asleep, so he carefully carried him from the car to where Ava had said he slept. He said goodbye to him, giving him a kiss on the forehead.

“Would it be okay if I come by later to take you out for dinner?” he asked, hoping she would accept.

“That sounds perfect, Mr. Licciardi. I’ll find a dress for the occasion,” she replied with excitement.

Shortly after, he said goodbye to Lola, and Ava accompanied him to the door.

“I’ll see you in a bit, príncipessa. Remember, we left something unfinished,” he said with a smile, winking at her, referring to what they were doing before Lola arrived in the morning.

He gave her a warm kiss before leaving, and Ava closed the door, leaning against it with a sigh.

“My girl, I’m so glad you’ve sorted things out with Mr. Mateo,” Lola said. She felt relieved that Ava no longer had to hide her son.

“Yes, Nana, for a moment, I thought that what we had was over forever, especially after realizing I had hidden the fact that we have a child from him. Now, I’ll start with my plan to bring Teodoro Miller down.”

Later, Teodoro was in a bad mood at his house. Lately, he had been in a bad mood all the time. He had secured good contracts and new partners, but he couldn’t get Grecia, the beautiful girl from his thoughts, out of his head. She had promised to call him weeks ago, and she still hadn’t.

His phone rang at that moment, almost as if she had called with her thoughts.

“Soon.”

“Mr. Miller?” The delicate voice of the girl sounded on the other end.

“Speak.”

“This is Grecia De Luca. Do you remember me?”

“Of course, I remember you, beautiful,” Teodoro smiled as he heard her voice, closing his eyes, imagining she was right in front of him.

“I’ve been busy planning a tour, which is why I hadn’t been able to call you.”

“I understand perfectly. Work comes first.”

“Would you like to have dinner tomorrow? Could you?”

“Of course, where shall I pick you up, and at what time?”

“How about we meet at 7 at Dolce Passione?”

“That sounds great. So, I’ll see you tomorrow, my dear.”

“Until tomorrow.”

Ava felt a knot in her stomach. She was determined to do whatever it took to bring down her uncle.

Miller, unaware of what was going on, had improved his mood. The woman he was with noticed his change and found it strange to see him whistling.

“Well, what’s the reason for this good mood?” The woman sensed that his change was related to the phone call, even though she hadn’t heard the conversation, she had arrived when he was ending the call.

“Should it be for any reason?” He replied, looking at her with a hint of irritation.

“I’m just saying because you’ve been in a bad mood lately.”

“I resolved some issues I had. Things are going according to plan, so tonight we’ll go out to celebrate. How does that sound?”

“Of course, it’s been a while since we’ve done that. I’ll see you tonight, dear.”

She left quite content. It had been a while since Teodoro had invited her to dinner, so she would buy a dress for the occasion. She wanted to look beautiful and capture the attention of the man she hoped would become her husband.

Ava had decided to buy a dress. She entered the mall and saw a beautiful dress in a shop window. It was elegant and sexy at the same time. She entered that store and asked for that dress to try on. As the shop assistant was removing it from the mannequin, the woman who had been with Teodoro entered. She had also seen that dress and wanted it for herself.

“Excuse me, I’d like to try on the dress you just removed from the display.”

“I’m sorry, miss, but another young lady had requested that dress well before you arrived.”

“I’ve been a customer at this boutique for many years. I think I should be given priority.”

“I’m sorry, but we have other dresses from our new collection. Perhaps you might find one you like.”

“No way. I want to try on the dress I requested.”
