His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 168

We arrived back home without zero information or knowledge abht how to get to the money, and even though Christian appeared to be in a good mood, he also seemed stressed out about it.

“If your grandpa gave someone the order, we can just find out and ask the person if they know anything

“He’s dead, Serena.” Christian dropped the news. “My grandpa’s right hand is dead, and he’s been dead for over ten years now.”

“Oh.” I spoke, flustered at the unexpected question. “How about we buy an ouija board and talk to him?” I suggested and attempted to cheer him up. It seemed to have worked because Christian was able to laugh. at my joke. “You’re so stupid sometimes.” He mocked me. “It’s never too late to go back to school.”

“Hey!” I yelled at him. “Don’t you think calling me stupid is a bit too much?”

“Yes, I’m sorry about that.” Christian apologized. “But what else do you expect me to say when you’re telling me to use an ouija board?”

“You’re really no fun,” I huffed as I thought of more ways to get to the money. “How about we tell your grandpa about it?”

“No!” Christian opposed without giving it a second thought. “Listen, if I’ll tell him my uncle is still alive. the entire family will fall apart, and I want to prevent that for now-so unless my uncle somehow decides. to reveal himself. I’m not going to do that.” He explained. “Besides that, I think my uncle and I both agree to let my dad rest in peace.

“Right.” I agreed. “Please help me because I’m not following you anymore. Do you want him to reveal himself or not?”

“I do.” Christian sighed. “But not to everyone, just to me.”

“I see. We’ll find a way. We always do.” I reassured Christian while I stared into his eyes. I couldn’t stop thinking about how he introduced me to everyone. He called me his wife, and he didn’t even let out a single stutter.

“Why did you introduce me to everyone as your wife?” I finally addressed the situation. “Because you don’t look like my fiancée, you look my wife.” Christian chuckled. “We’re going to get married anyway, so what’s the big deal?”

I couldn’t help but smile at his confidence and noticed that something was different about him. He wasn’t hiding me anymore, but he bragged about me and even went as far as calling me his wife. “I appreciate it, but don’t you want to get married?” I asked. “Like, officially married.”

“Officially married?” Christian forced a smile. “If you want to do that, then we’ll do that.”

I observed the fake smile on his lips and wondered what the issue was. “Is it because your dad won’t be there?” I asked. Christian sighed and shrugged his shoulders. “I wanted to get married while he was still here, but I screwed things up.”

“Oh.” I awkwardly spoke. Maybe I should’ve just let it rest instead of creating this awkward situation. Yes, he screwed things up-but he didn’t need a reminder of that every single second.

“And what’s

up with Dario?” I changed the subject. “His dad must’ve already called him by now. You should check up on him because we don’t want him to change his mind.” I advised Christian. “And did he

“I don’t know, isn’t he your friend?” Christian frowned. He didn’t seg jealous or irritated but somewhat afraid. “He’s your cousin, so…” I mumbled. I thought about giving Dario a call, but I figured it would’ve been for the best to give it a rest as also he had gone through a lot. “How about you give him a call?”
