Capítulo 173: A Marriage with Secrets

The ride back home was silent. Amelia's mind was whirling with thoughts, and Matteo…

Matteo seemed to be struck dumb, his mind a million miles away. 

Amelia's eyes darted over to her future husband. Initially, she wanted to question Matteo about the orphanage on her way home, but then she held her tongue. 

If Matteo had kept it a secret from her, clearly it wasn't something he was comfortable with sharing. They have shared the most intimate parts of themselves with each other, and their relationship has never been better. 

Wouldn't it be selfish for Amelia to stick her nose to where it didn't belong? The old adage of letting sleeping dogs lie rang in her head.

But then again, Matteo was going to be her husband. After the clusterfuck that was her relationship with Caleb, she did not find herself enthusiastic about a second husband that was planning to keep secrets from her.
