His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 139

Chapter 139

“Testing him?” Isobel frowned. “Why would be testing him?”

That was the same thing I wanted to know. “Who knows.” I sighed. “Beau always does everything with a reason, so we’ll see.”

“Enough about me. How is the baby?”

“Annoying.” Isobel chuckled. “It’s annoying me, physically and mentally. I’m scared.”

Those were the exact words I once used to describe myself with. I reached out my hand so I could comfort her. “So you don’t want to be a mom?”

“That’s not it.” Isobel shook her head. “It’s just that my mom never took care of me, so I have no idea how to take care of babies.”

“Trust me. I get you.” I sighed. Isobel opening up so quickly made me think about Dario and how mysterious he was. He was so outspoken, and I didn’t know anything about him. No one did.

“So you and Christian seem to be getting along?” Isobel commented with a smug smile on her face. Apparently she could see which I couldn’t, because if anything this situation was extremely awkward. “Well, we’re not arguing, so there’s that.”

“Look, there they are,” Isobel whispered as she pointed at Christian and Beau, who came walking down the stairs. “Is she clean again?” I asked and looked at Siena, who was in a cheerful mood.

Siena was the happiest around Christian.

Isobel’s thoughts couldn’t be any worse than mine. I knew stuff like that was to be expected, but Siena being so attached to Christian while I was the one who carried her worried me and made me scared of what was about to come. Would she even like me in the future?

“Yes, she is-but I don’t think Beau is ready to become a dad.” Christian chuckled. “Isobel, it seems like you’re on your own.”

“What do you mean not ready? She pooped on my hand!” Beau complained as Christian let out a laugh. It was clear the two of them bonded over diapers.

“Look at you. You seem to be getting along.” Isobel smiled, excited. It made me wonder about what kind of conversation they had. Just a few minutes ago, it seemed like the two were going to kill each other.

“What did you guys talk about?” I wondered as Christian sat down next to me. “You don’t have to know everything. You’re allowed to give your brains some rest sometimes. Christian spoke while I looked down. embarrassed. “But if you really want to know, we spoke about you.”

“About me? What about me?”

“Nothing, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Beau spoke. “Christian, you must be busy now that you don’t have a personal assistant anymore.”

Isobel covered her mouth with her hands and laughed while Christian rolled his eyes. “I thought we’d just discussed not to do this anymore.”

“Oh no, I have good intentions this time!” Beau reassured him. “I heard you don’t have a personal assistant anymore, so how about you let me work for you?”

“What?” I spoke, confused. “You just wanted to kill him a second ago, and now you want to work for him? Do you even know what you want?”

“Why would you want to work for me?” Christian asked. “You’re an Alfonzo. Letting you work as my personal assistant would be so downgrading. You’re supposed to carry on the Alfonzo name with you. brothers-”

“What brothers?” Beau asked as everyone around the table went quiet. Marcello, Emilio, and Luke were the sweetest souls in the world, but for some reason, they just didn’t have a bond with Beau. It wasn’t that difficult for me to get along with them, but Beau was clearly struggling. “I don’t care about my brothers, I care about Serena, and I don’t feel like following around Emilio-so I want to support you.”

“Random, but I think the job suits him.” Isobel shrugged. “It’s a good way to keep an eye on him, so he doesn’t do anything stupid, right Beau?” Isobel chuckled.

So that’s why Beau tested him. He was planning to distance himself from the family business and would probably encourage me to do the same. He would encourage me to stand behind Christian. “I appreciate your offer, but won’t this damage your family?”
