All Chapters of Mending Her Heart : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"Baby, come on, blow the candles off," Alison urged, the guests watched eagerly waiting for Sam to blow the five candles standing in the soft foundation of the cake."I am trying mommy." She sounded frustrated.She smoothed her hair backwards to her back and sucked in enough air to fill her lungs, she was getting red every second, she managed to blow off three candles but they all got lit by the other two since they were so close to one another.Maybe this time she would get it right, with one quick blow, if she doesn't Alison would have to step in and help if she gets out of breath it might trigger her asthma.This time around she blew them off, earning a loud cheer from the guests.Alison rushed forward, giving her a brief hug before pecking her face, she held her hand against the mini knife and they cut the cake, she gently cut a partition and fed some of it to Sam, who giggled when her mouth was filled.She was so happy with the outcome of this birthday party overall it has been a

Italy?Alison thought inwardly, going to Italy with Leonardo sounds fun but her worry remained with Samantha. What ifs? Clouding her thoughts with worries, the last time she felt like she abandoned her daughter and chooses work instead now she is just conflicted about her love life and her child.Is she making the right decision? Should she agree to go with Leonardo?She listened to the echoes from afar carrying the shrill noise of crickets and owls, the gentle breeze whipping her hair as she held the balcony rails for support.Gran promised to take care of Samantha, like the same but see what happened later on.A voice within told, she tried not to pay heed to it, Samantha didn't have an asthma attack because Gran cared less about Sam or Lily didn't do her work properly by giving Sam her medications, she was meant to have an asthma attack and there was nothing they could do but to sort professional medical care.Suddenly she felt a strong arm wrap around her waist from behind, the f

Alison leaned downwards pecking Sam for the fifth time to the extent she gave a little grimace moving her face away from further kisses, she smiled at Lily and waved bye as they walked into her car, slowly driving out of the driveway.Lily was to drive Sam back to Gran Karen's home since she was going to the airport in another one hour to meet Leonardo. She called earlier and informed Gran about the schedule of her journey. She felt unease at the fact that she doesn't know how they are going to get there, she was refrained from buying airplane tickets, as usual, Leonardo named it a surprise, so she has to wait for him and see what he have in store for her. She called him and he told her to get ready to meet him in two hours, an hour was gone and the remainder of the time was used in trying to manage her excited nerves, and jumbled emotions sizzling in her. She felt anxious but excited at the same time.What made this journey special was Leonardo's presence, even if she spend those fiv

Alison could not keep the thoughts out of her head, or the fact Leonardo keeps more than he lets out, she stood close to the car, parked on the airport grounds, for the first time noticing the men in dark suits that followed Leonardo around, they were so discreet, she hardly knew they walked around with him.She sighted Leonardo walking towards her, the official that took his time, leaving. A lanky man stood beside him pointing towards the file resting on his arm. After a ten-hour journey, they landed in some airport, the announcement when landing called the airport, Florence airport. It was already night, the first thing Alison did was to call back home to check on Gran and Samantha, they were excited to hear her voice, Samantha shrieking. Gran kept on asking her about their living conditions, weather and all but she was quick to remind Gran Karen she only just arrived. Luckily Lily took proper care of the duo, she won't deny the fact her Gran was ageing even though during the pas

He was surprised by her scream and was taken aback when she jumped on him, hugging him like he was a lost toy or something like that. Alison could not help the frown forming at her face, or the jealousy burning deep within her bones.She is his cousin, a part of her justified, even so, cousins shouldn't be that close to her Leonardo.Possessive.She twitched her mouth to the side, disliking Isabella, with her hug being unnecessarily long.She finally drew away from him, "I missed you," she muttered, leading him to the dining area, totally ignoring she was present."You saw me in Spain, I spent time with you and went shopping at your request.""That was two months ago," she exclaimed, still maintaining her stance."I wish you would come back to Italy, you are the better brother. You know how Edward is like." she protested, a fake pout etching on her lips, but Alison can't deny her puppy eyes was good, almost as good as Sam's. She noticed the disinterested look on Leonardo's face at the
