His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 126

Christian

“Mom, I need you and grandpa to cancel the lawyer.” Christian barged in. Francesca frowned at the unexpected sentence. “W-what?”

“I’m fine with seeing Siena once a week. Cancel the lawyer.” Christian repeated himself. He couldn’t even believe that he was willing to go that far. After the agreement which was made with Serena, his eyes were finally opened.

His family was just as toxic as the Alfonzo’s, and he didn’t need their opinion. He didn’t want any of them. to know about the deal between him and Serena because he did not want to ruin everything.

“Christian, you can’t do that-I don’t think that’s a good idea!” Cesca spoke, but Christian did not want to listen. “I’m not asking. I’m telling you!” Christian made clear.

He was so determined to tell Cesca the whole truth, but after seeing the embarrassed look on her face, he had a change of mind and could sense where Serena was coming from. It was easier said than done, but also Christian was afraid of his family’s judgment.

“It’s because dad is sick. I don’t want him to find out about any of this-you know that.” Christian lied. The relieved look on Cesca’s face made him feel guilty, but she left him no choice. Serena was right, the Lamberti’s had turned on her so quickly, and there was no excuse for that. If they had done it once, it meant they could do it again. “That’s good-I almost thought you made up with her.”

“You can’t do that, not after she lost control like a maniac and put us all to embarrassment with that video!” Cesca rolled her eyes while Christian pretended to listen.

Although he was afraid of his family’s judgment, he knew what he wanted-and planned on taking it the day Lucio would no longer be here, so he could rebel against his own family. He didn’t need anything out of the ordinary. All he wanted was Serena and Siena.

He knew the road to gaining Serena’s trust was a big one, but he was willing to walk that road which was why he had something planned.

“Anyway, I have to go-let’s cancel the lawyer, and let’s not stress out, think about dad, okay?” Christian requested. “Also, please work along with that photoshoot thing, anyone who ruins dad’s day is going to have to deal with me!” He yelled out as he left the kitchen.

Was he stupid for what he had planned? Yes, maybe-but if it could take away some of Serena’s worries, there was nothing to reconsider. He was going to do it.

Christian made his way to Marc, who was waiting outside. The first person Christian called to talk about his friendly night with Serena was Marc. The person who understood him more than his own family.

“So what’s the thing we’re doing again?” Marc asked as he followed Christian with a heavy briefcase in his hands. “We’re going to Juno Sala, so he can fix Isobel’s status so Serena and Beau can live happily ever – after and Serena will praise me for it,” Christian spoke.

Juno Sala was the former head of the Sala family and made the ultimate decision to disown Isobel and her

dad. Christian always went along with it because he believed the punishment was right, and he did not want to disrespect anyone’s decision of Serena’s feelings, but it had all backfired. That very same decision turned out to hurt Serena, and he could not live with that.

He didn’t like the sound of Serena being sad and was determined to take away some of that pain, even if
