~CHAPTER 69~
"Romeo, vieni qui e mangia! Romeo, come here and eat!" nonna exclaimed as soon as she saw me walking back into the dinner hall, freshly bathed and changed.
I flashed her a wryly smile and made my way over to her, bending down to kiss her cheek.
"Sono qui, Nonna. Dai, devi calmarti. I'm here, Grandma. Come on, you need tochill." I said, trying to calm her.
My grandmother was a force to be reckoned with, and when she got worked up, it was best to just ride out the storm.
I walked over to the head seat, the one reserved for the family head, and took a seat.
The chair was ornate and heavy, carved from solid wood and adorned with intricate patterns. I settled into it, feeling the weight of my family's legacy settling onto my shoulders.
Just like always.
We began eating in silence but my nonna watched me with disapproval all over her face and eyes and I ignored her, focusing instead on the food in front of me.
