His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 111

“Siena, your daddy, is blowing up my phone again-he just can’t take a hint.” I hissed and turned off my phone, so I wouldn’t have to look at the missed phone calls.

“It took you long enough!” Dario smiled from a distance and held a bouquet of roses in his hands.

“I’m sorry.” I apologized as I pushed the stroller and made my way toward him. “I’m not used to people showing up on time.”

“That must mean Christian keeps you waiting, but fortunately for you, I’m not Christian,” Dario spoke as he handed me the roses. “You bought me roses? No one ever bought me roses.” I awkwardly laughed.

Even though I promised myself not to think about him, my mind went back to Christian. He never bought me roses, and I never asked for them. He would waste his money instead to buy me the most expensive gifts.

“I even brought one for your daughter.” He smiled and pulled out a toy rose. “I thought she might eat it, so.” He shrugged and handed her the rose. “She will still eat it, but the effort is nice.”

“Is she laughing?” I asked after hearing her giggles. Dario smirked and raised his head to look at me. “Of course, she’s laughing. She’s in my presence.”

“You’re unbelievable.” I laughed at his serious reaction. It was weird to explain, but it didn’t feel like I was talking to a stranger. I hated meeting new people, and I was an awkward person-but Dario and I clicked from the moment we met.

“So what do you have planned for us today.” Dario wondered. “Well.” I started. The funny thing was that I hadn’t even planned a thing and just went along with everything because he asked me to. “I thought we could take a walk so I can show you around, eat something-and then I can introduce you to my best. friend.”

“Really? I’m excited to meet your best friend. Dario smiled. “Well.” I sighed. “He used to talk just as much as you, but considering the circumstances…”

“Vincenzo Garcia?” Dario asked with a guilty look on his face. “This is not a sad conversation.” I laughed. and pushed his shoulder. “I’m glad it isn’t. I can’t stay serious for too long.” Dario laughed and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. “Is this okay with you?”

I flinched for a second and needed some time to get used to his touch. The only man other than my family who was allowed to do that was Christian. At least, that’s what I made myself believe-because, unlike him, I was loyal.

“This is fine,” I spoke as I turned my face towards him and returned the smile. “I have to say. You look even more beautiful from up close.” Dario flirted. I hadn’t realized how close our faces were until he made that comment, and I didn’t know how fast to turn my head. “We should go.”

Dario and I took a nice walk around the city, and I had no bad word to say about him. Perhaps if Christian took the chance to get to know him, he wouldn’t hate him that much, and the two might even get along. “You know, you remind me of Christian’s cousins.” I told him.

Dario was a gentleman like Johnny and had a playful personality like Luca.

I remind you of a Lamberti?” Dario scrunched up his nose while I laughed at his reaction. “Don’t be like that. My daughter is a Lamberti.”

He gasped and leaned over the stroller to tickle Siena, “I wasn’t talking about you. You’re just as sweet as your mommy.”
