Adriano seemed to have just finished contacting someone, when Coco arrived at Casa de Luca after delivering Francesca to the city of Rome. Soon the blue-eyed man who was still standing on the porch. "There's a new one?" ask Coco kindly. He seemed to have forgotten all about his attitude towards Adriano all along.

"I have to go to England this week. Prepare yourself, for you must come with me, too" Adriano said lightly.

"Hey, Dude! Since when did you become my boss? As it were," grumbled Coco softly. However, Adriano did not care about the man's protest. He kept stepping into his room. Adriano still has a job that is no less important, which is to persuade Mia who is still angry and jealous of him. However, after seeing it turns out Mia is not in the room. Adriano also took the initiative to go to Miabella's room. Justright. Mia was there. The woman was busy braiding the princess's hair.

"Hi, Daddy Zio," said Miabella with a cheerful face. She was so happy that Mia braided her hair pretty. "Do you like my hair?" tanyanya while showing the work of the mother.

"Oh, that's very pretty," Adriano said, lowering her body in front of Miabella, who was sitting at the end of the bed.

"Thank you to my mother" said the little girl.

"Thank you for what?" adriano asked as he scrunched his forehead.

"Because it has made me beautiful" Miabella replied innocently. "I will show my hair to my grandfather before he goes to the garden" he said again as he got out of bed and ran out of the room, leaving Mia and Adriano who were turning their attention to Mia. The man looked at the beautiful woman with her hair bunned using a small clip. A little disheveled, but looking sexy in Adriano's eyes.

Feeling uncomfortable, Mia immediately got up from her seat and intended to leave the room. Adriano immediately prevented it. "You still mad at me, Mia?" tanyakanya.

"Don't bother me, because I'm upset right now," Mia refused trying to avoid Adriano's sweet, seductive gaze. While the man just smiled in response to Mia's sulking attitude towards him. Adriano is getting closer. "What do I have to do to make you stop acting like this to me?" adriano asked half a whisper. However, Mia did not have time to answer, the sound of Adriano's phone ringing. The man immediately checked it. It was a message from someone. "We continue later" he whispered again as he passed out of the room.

Mia who at that time hoped that Adriano would continue to persuade herself, felt even more upset. Finally, Mia decided to tidy up Miabella's room.

In the living room of Casa de Luca, there stood a man who was none other than Emiliano Moriarty. Adriano deliberately asked the man to come there, for a reason. "Adrianos? Why did you tell me to come here? What are you doing in this place anyway?" Emiliano immediately greeted his son with a series of questions. The old man frowned because he did not understand.

"I did stay here, because ...."

"Daddy Zio!" miabella who ran over to my father. The little girl struggled spoiled while hugging Adriano's thigh. Behind Miabella, following Damiano who had been preparing to go to the plantation. As long as Miabella was there, Damiano went to the estate just to monitor for a while, then immediately returned home.

Seeing that, Emiliano felt increasingly clueless. "How long have you been married, son? So strong are you for not telling me at all, if I have had a beautiful grandson like this," Emiliano approached Miabella and half crouched down before her. As for the little girl, she immediately retreated and hid behind Adriano.

"Come, Son. I am your grandfather," persuaded Emiliano with a friendly and warm smile. However, Miabella refused.

Adriano just smiled lightly in response to that. Damiano doesn't dare to say much. He knew the man as the younger brother of Alessandro Moriarty. "Damiano, introduce this is my father," Adriano turned to the old man with the hat that had always been his trademark.

Damiano came forward and immediately greeted Emiliano. "How are you, Mr. Moriarty," said Damiano.

"You know me?" reply Emiliano with wonder.

"Instantly. The late Mr. Roberto was good friends with your brother, Mr. Alessandro," Damiano said.

"Oh, yeah. Sure do. They are struggling in the same world, whereas I prefer to withdraw and not interfere in the affairs of black organizations" Emiliano said.

"That's why I asked you to come here" interrupted Adriano. He invited his father to sit down. Miabella sat down and hugged her father. "Look, Damiano. Since my father now has no steady job, then I think it would be better if you could work together to take care of the plantation and also the wine production. In addition to helping ease the burden of your work, my father is also a reliable businessman even though the company is currently chaotic and impossible to save," explained Adriano who immediately made Emiliano surprised instead of playing.

"Aren't you going to review it first, son?" protest the old man.

"I did. It's not a hard thing for me to do. That's why I made this decision" said Adriano.

"Then, what about the injection of funds you're gonna give?" ask Emiliano again with great hope.

"It would be a pity for me to have to spend some money to save your already more than chaotic company, especially if you still entrust the company to the likes of Agustine and Ilario. The stupidest decision you made, Padre," Adriano explained, made the father sigh regretfully.

"I only made one offer. Please consider carefully," Adriano said calmly. "Again, you must have known Du Fontaine. Aren't you interested in becoming one of those famous brands? Soon, I will bring the brand to Greece and England. You still want to think a lot, Padre?" Adriano began to persuade his father.

"Then, Mr. Roberto and Mr. Alessandro did work together. They are able to dominate the Italian market, even to some neighboring countries. I think we can restore cooperation based on family that had been cut off. Especially with Adriano's wedding and ...."

"Bella, do you want to eat fruit?" Mia appears between them, accidentally cutting Damiano's sentence off. For a moment, he turned to Emiliano then nodded politely. Mia intends to grab Miabella from Adriano's lap. However, the little girl refused. He still wanted to be in the lap of his father.

"It's okay, Mia. He doesn't bother me" Adriano said, turning to Mia. The man looked at him for a moment, then turned his gaze to Emiliano. "Since you're here, I'll introduce you. This is my wife, Florecita Mia D'Angelo," Adriano stood near Mia who looked a little confused.

Emiliano stood up. He looked at Mia quite fixedly. His pair of old eyes seemed to sparkle full of novelty. Something that looks so obvious in Adriano's eyes. "Mia, that's Emiliano Moriarty. My father ..." Adriano's words sounded so heavy when he said that. However, she still had to introduce Mia to her father.

"Son," Emiliano has no power to hold haru. Long time no see Adriano, the son is now back with a beautiful wife and daughter. A very amazing surprise for him.

"How are you, Mr. Moriarty," Mia was perplexed as she greeted her father-in-law.

"Call me father" asked Emiliano. "You and your daughter are both beautiful. Adriano was indeed down on my talent in choosing women," the man joked that he made Mia smile widely. "Say, how long have you been married?" Emiliano again asked a question that Adriano had not answered.

"Two months" Adriano replied with a casual look, but managed to make Emiliano look unusual. The man scrunched his forehead while staring at Adriano and Mia alternately. "We are a newlywed couple" Adriano continued, glancing at Mia who looked uncomfortable.

"So you had children before you got married?" ask Emiliano again.

"She's my daughter with the late Matteo de Luca" Mia replied trying to look confident again.

There was the sound of a long breath coming from Emiliano's lips. The man was then bearded. "All right, I get it. Love is blind" he said later.

"Yes, you're absolutely right. Love sometimes comes to someone who is considered inappropriate. Falling in love doesn't know who and in what situations. Just like you who are married but still playing with fire with other women. It's all out of our control" Adriano said again, patting Miabella's back, who had suddenly fallen asleep in her arms.

That sentence left Emiliano speechless for a while. The strange and awkward atmosphere began to feel.

“What if you come with me, Mr Moriarty? You can see the condition of the plantation as well as learn the process when we harvest wine,” invite Damiano to melt the atmosphere.

“I think that's a good idea,” Adriano said expressionlessly.

Emiliano briefly looked at his son before turning to Mia and Damiano. “Alright, if you think it's good. I'll obey you, Adriano. Seeing your lunge in the business world, it feels like I will follow your advice,” the old man with gray hair smiled.

Just a few steps after Damiano, Emiliano then stopped and turned to Adriano. “From all my children, you are the most reliable. Thank you, Adriano. I am happy to be close and familiar with you again,” he said sincerely while glancing at Mia, then nodded.

“I believe Adriano never miscast,” he added before stepping back following Damiano.

Mia's cheeks flushed when she heard the praise from her father-in-law. Secretly, he glanced at Adriano who was looking at him while smiling.

“Let me put Miabella to bed,” Mia turned her attention to her little daughter. Without waiting for Adriano's approval, he grabbed his daughter's body and carried the little girl to the room.

Adriano smiled again at that. It seemed like he was not going to chase after Mia, because he preferred to get out and head for the courtyard, then start the car. The man drove his vehicle away from Casa de Luca.

Inside Miabella's room, Mia starts to feel restless. The husband's count that never followed. When she sees Miabella falling asleep, Mia decides to go back to her room and find her husband there. Darling, Adriano's nowhere to be seen. Mia searched every corner of the room. However, the room was empty. There was only a black square box, lying on the bed.

Intrigued, Mia opened the box and looked up at the contents. Hesitating, he touched and rubbed the folded cloth neatly, so soft and looking extremely luxurious. He ventured to pick up and put it on his body. It is an elegant black evening dress. It felt comfortable when the dress touched her skin. Instantly the look of the beautiful face sparkled brightly, especially when he read the greeting card embedded in the box.

“I'm sorry if it made you angry, Mia. I'll make up your smile tonight. Come to my apartment in the dress I gave you. Eight o'clock exactly. I don't accept rejection.”
