His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 161

Chapter 161

“Siena, it’s time to see that grumpy, old, annoying, rude-hating grandfather of yours!” I complained as I walked through the Lamberti estate. “And when did you get so heavy?”

“Let me help you!” A voice behind me called out. I turned around in surprise and looked at Gio, who grabbed the seat from my hands. “She’s looks so much like you.” He smiled and looked down at Siena.

“How are you holding up?”

“Me?” I asked, surprised. It was still a bit hard to get used to the fact that the brother who used to hate me the most turned out to be a really warm and kind person. “Yes, you.” Gio laughed. “A lot has happened, but you’re back just as expected.”

“Just as expected?” I frowned while Gio shrugged his shoulders. “Yes, you and Christian belong together- and I, unfortunately, found out the harsh way.” He explained. “Dana and I knew the two of you would work things out.”

“Dana? How is she doing-is the baby still not here yet?” I asked. I was so selfish that I hadn’t even thought about Dana or the baby, and I never asked Christian about it either.

“No, it’s been a week, but he still has no plans to show himself.” Gio sighed. “I understand, because this family is a bit crazy.”

“How about the family shoot? Will she make it?” I wondered. It would be nice to hang out with someone sane afterward. “Yes, don’t worry-she’ll make it.” Gio reassured me.

“What are you and Siena doing here without Christian?” Gio wondered. The poor guy didn’t even know that his uncle was still alive or that we saved his brother from death, but Christian did it for a reason. Gio had more than enough to worry about.

“Christian went out to…work?” I made up on the spot. “And I’m here to visit your grandpa.”

“Grandpa?” Gio asked, confused. “Not my dad, but my grandpa?”

“Yes.” I smiled. “I’m here for your grandpa. I know it’s weird, but I made this stupid bet with Christian, so here 1 am-”

“Bet? What kind of bet?” Gio chuckled as we walked through the door. “What’s in for you if you win?”

Shit. How would I get myself out of this one?

“A tour through the Lamberti warehouse.” I shrugged him off. It was better to tell him the truth. “And it’s just a bet about how long I’ll be able to survive with your grandpa.”

“Christian promised to take you to the Lamberti warehouse?” Gio frowned. “Not even Dana has been there and we’ve been together for years.”

Gio gave me a suspicious look, but he didn’t mention it again and pushed the seat into my hands instead. “Well, good luck.” He smiled and took one last look at Siena.

“How is Beau doing?”

“Good, he’s doing good, and Christian has also been really good to him,” I told Gio, who seemed to be pleased with that information. “I heard he knocked up Isobel. That’s cute. I hope it works out for them.”

“Excuse me?” I spoke, flustered by his sudden statement. “Wow, I’m sorry-I didn’t mean it like that.” Gio gasped and smacked his hand in front of his mouth. “I forgot about you and Christian-

“It’s okay.” I reassured him. “It was a bit different with them, though, because they were actually together

“I’m sorry.” Gio apologized. “I wasn’t thinking, and I didn’t mean it like that-please don’t tell Christian” He whispered the last sentence. “The last thing I need is for him to threaten me again.” Gio joked.
