Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival

Chapter Seventy Six

Third Person POV.

Amber stared at the old but beautiful house in front of her with a nervous gaze. She was finally going to be meeting Richard’s grandmother for the first time, and she couldn’t help but be nervous.

All she could think about was whether or not his grandmother would like her, and no matter how man times Richard tried to tell her not to worry about anything, she couldn’t help but worry, especially since Bianca didn’t stop talking about how picky and overprotective their grandmother was.

“You know, you don’t have to make it so obvious that you’re stressing out, cognata,” Bianca pointed

out with a chuckle.

Richard would turn to look at Amber, noticing that she looked nervous–almost shaky, in fact. “I already said you have nothing to worry about, Amber. All that talk in the car was typical Bianca trying to scare you. I can assure you. Nonna isn’t going to have any problems with you,” he assured

her again.

“I should have studied a little more Italian before coming here,” she muttered to herself, and both

Richard and Bianca stared at her in confusion.

“Hold on a second, sweetheart. Did you by chance try learning the language?” Bianca asked.

“I wouldn’t say I learned anything since it was a failed attempt. I did try, though. I spent two hours trying to learn basic greetings so I won’t make a fool of myself, but I can’t remember most of it Amber admitted, and Bianca burst into a laugh while Richard looked away to avoid laughing out

loud.

“Here’s some advice. Make sure you mention that to Nonna when you’re speaking to her, and I swear,

she’s going to fall in love with you,” Bianca said.

“Don’t listen to her, babe. Nonna is going to love you regardless,” Richard retorted quickly, and

Bianca rolled her eyes at him. “Now, can we go inside? My legs are killing me already, and we still

have to get back to our apartment.”

“You know how she is, Richard. She doesn’t like technology or is very old with her thoughts. And as you can see, she doesn’t have a doorbell, which means we have to wait for as long as necessary until

she hears us and comes to get the door,” Bianca explained.

Richard scoffed. “For someone who judges me for not caring about my family, you sure don’t seem an different to me, Bianca. How can you leave an elderly woman in her 80s alone in this house?”

Bianca turned to look at him, ready to go off at her twin, until the door flew open, revealing the face of Sofia Vitale, Richard’s maternal grandmother.

“If you two are going to keep bickering like children, please go back home,” Sofia hissed, staring

back and forth at both Bianca and Richard.

“Ci scusiamo, Nonna [We apologize, grandma].” Bianca said quickly, knowing very well how feisty her

nonna could get.

Sofia would simply ignore her apology, her eyes meeting the young lady who stood timidly behind Richard. She would stare at Amber for a while before turning to look at Richard, with what seemed like an unimpressed look on her face.

“Is she the one, Pietro?”

“Yes, nonna. She’s the one,” Richard responded, cringing slightly at the use of his middle name.

Amber would immediately realize that Sofia was talking about her, and she nervously met the older woman’s eye before bowing her head to greet her. “Good afternoon, ma’am. I’m Amber, and it’s nice to finally meet you,” she said.

Sona simply sighed and, without saying a word, she walked back into the house.

“That’s our cue to come in,” Bianca whispered to Amber before walking in.

Richard took Amber’s hand in his before walking into the house with her. As soon as they walked in,

Amber gasped slightly, holding her hand over her mouth to avoid being too loud.

The interior of the place was nothing like the exterior because she had expected to see a

normal–looking old house, with old wood and the like, but instead, the house looked pretty modern. I

made her wonder if Bianca knew what she was talking about when she mentioned earlier that the wo didn’t like technology and had an old mindset.

“What would you like to eat, Amber?” Sofia asked.

“Anything is fine with me, ma’am,” Amber replied, completely caught off guard.

Richard, who was feeling frustrated with the tension his grandmother was creating on purpose, decided

he had enough of it. “Nonna, I know what you’re trying to do,” he said.

Sofia turned to look at him with a confused look on her face before asking. “And what is it I’m trying to do?”

Richard sighed. “I know you have something to say, Nonna. So why don’t you just go ahead and say it?

Amber became confused by the sudden tension in the room, and she tumed to Bianca for help, trying to understand what was going on. Bianca, who had an amused look on her face, simply signaled Amber r to say anything and just keep watching them.

“Oh, really, Pietro? Do you want me to speak? About what exactly, my dear? How are you so sure I have something to say?” Sofia asked, her frown deepening.

“You’re frowning. Nonna, and I know you well enough to know what that look on your face means,”

Richard retorted.

He knew his grandmother would react in some way when she saw him again, and even though the last thing he wanted was to deal with her drama, he already knew he had no other choice. After all, he had dealt with her nagging over the phone all these years, so it wouldn’t be a big deal to finally deal

with it in person.

“Tu stupido ragazzo. Did you think I would welcome you with open arms just because I haven’t seen you in years, Pietro? Why would you think I’d be happy to see you? And did you think bringing a woman would make me a lot more lenient with you?” Sofia snapped, much to Amber’s surprise.

She couldn’t understand what was going on, and she immediately started to feel uncomfortable. thinking that she could be the reason why Richard’s grandmother was upset with him.

Did Sofia not like her? Was she that unimpressed? Amber wondered, hoping that wasn’t the case.

“I get why you’re upset, Nonna. I’really do, but for Amber’s sake, please put aside your anger. You’re making her even more nervous right now,” Richard said, trying to calm her down so that Amber

doesn’t end up freaking out.

“If that’s the case, you get out of my house, and the girl stays. How about that?” Sofia yelled

angrily.

“You can’t be serious, Nonna,” Richard said with a scoff, but before he knew it, Sofia grabbed his wrist and started to pull him toward the door.

“I’m dead serious, you stupid boy! Get out, and stay out of my house, Pietro. As for you, Bianca, follow behind him. Only the wife stays!” Sofia commanded, and Amber immediately felt her nerves.
