Chapter 144

Matteo’s POV I was worried because it was Sunday and they’re not home, so I waited. I stood for almost two hours in front of Isabella’s condo unit. I wouldn’t have stayed if James didn’t call me saying he saw Isabella talking to Noah at the mall. That assured me that they’re fine. I looked up at the tall building as soon as I got in my car parked in the outdoor parking area. I wanted to tell her that I missed her, but I stopped myself. Months ago, I told myself I’d confront her the moment she showed up to me again, or maybe demand a confession, or an apology. But after seeing her again, I just wanted to hug her, kiss her. And I was the one who wanted to apologize instead of demanding for her apology. Goddamn it! That woman got me wrapped around her fingers, now there’s another her that made the ice in my heart melt. Hope Clarkson. That should be Moretti. Five years ago, her last name was supposed to change into mine. But the darn accident happened. Why did I even forget her for so long
