His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 128

I took a deep breath and gave myself a tiny pep talk before I even had the thought of stepping out of the car. There was no turning back, and to be honest, I did not even know where I got myself into.

What if I would end up falling for him while I shouldn’t? For some reason, that appeared to be a stupid habit of mine.

My eyes moved to Christian, who was patiently waiting in his car and finally noticed me. He smiled at me while I gave him an awkward nod. He already saw me, so I had to get out. I couldn’t drive away anymore. There was no escaping this.

“Siena, should we just leave?” I asked as I turned around, but as usual, there was no reply. I didn’t even know why I even asked a baby for advice.

Christian stepped out and made his way over while I did the same. I felt weird and shy, as if we were having our first date, which definitely wasn’t the case. I quickly moved to the back to get Siena’s stroller which gave me a few more seconds to prepare myself. At least, that’s what I thought.

“Let me help you.” Christian smiled and grabbed the stroller from my hands. “Thanks, but I can unfold a stroller,” I spoke without meeting his eyes, but the laugh which had escaped from Christian’s mouth made it even more difficult. “Of course, you can.”

“Aren’t you going to let me look at you?” Christian asked. His words were bold as expected, and I felt as if I had to obey his request. I raised my head to look him in the eye while he reached out to grab my hand. “What?” I scoffed with a slight smile on my face. Why was I so happy?

“Are you going to grab our baby, or do you want me to do it?” He smirked as he walked past me to get to the car door. Christian called out for her while her loud giggles filled the parking lot.

“She looks like a princess, my princess.” Christian smiled at her tiny dress. He raised Siena in the air and. spun around in circles while Siena giggled. “I missed you so much.” He smiled as he attacked her with kisses.

There was no fear of him taking her away from me, and I didn’t even know why I had the fear in the first place. It was Christian. I trusted him-I took a risk in living with him because I trusted him. “She’s getting too big.” He spoke as he put her in the stroller.

“She is,” I replied. “Don’t be so awkward. Come here.” Christian chuckled and pulled me into a hug. I was supposed to push him away, at least those were my plans, but I couldn’t help it and leaned my head. against his shoulder. “Aren’t you going to say anything? Are you just going to keep your mouth shut?” Christian asked.

If he was trying to make me even more nervous, he was definitely doing a good job. “I don’t really have anything to say to you.” I smiled as I pulled away from the hug. Christian shrugged his shoulders. “Fair enough.”

“So what do you want to do?” I asked as I tried my hardest not to look into his eyes. That seemed -impossible to do at times, especially when Siena had the same eyes. “I just want to take a walk. That would

be nice.” Christian smiled. Both of our hands moved to the stroller before we both let out a laugh.

I missed the sound of his voice.

“You take one side, and I take the other side. How about that?” He suggested. I was stupid enough to nod my head before he made his way beside me and slammed his arm around my shoulder. “I can do this, right?” He asked in a mocking tone..

“Yes, friends can do this.” I almost gulped. No, exes couldn’t do this. What was he up to?
