Chapter 263
Valentino's perspective
After five years:
Many people believe that one can never fully understand something until they experience it themselves.
I never truly considered this saying until real-life events started to heavily impact me, revealing how everything I had learned about the enigma of life materialized and unfolded before my eyes.
Many times, my father would tell me stories about how becoming a father and getting married had improved his life, but at that very moment, when I was connecting with my child and showing her nothing but love, it all made perfect sense.
Seeing our little bundle of joy happy and smiling brightly had an unexplained, intoxicating effect. Surely that smile was the most exquisite sight I had ever beheld, as it evoked immense joy and resonated deeply within me. I couldn't help but give her a bigger smile in return, and I put the spoon I had been using to feed her yogurt back into the container.
