Chapter 169

“What are all these cars doing here?” I asked Christian while we erred the Lamberti estate: “Is there some party we don’t know about?”

I turned my head to look at Siena and held her hand “Siena, your grandpa didn’t invite us to the party” 1 pouted while all she could do was giggle.

“Stop being so overdramatic” Christian chuckled. “My dad has a lot of visitors these days”

I thought about poor Lucio, who was probably extremely weak, but somehow still pushed through with not only all these visits but also the upcoming photoshoot, and I didn’t know whether telling him about Dario today would’ve been the best thing.

“Don’t worry about it.” Christian read my mind. “My dad will love to hear about Dario.” He convinced himself as he parked the car. “I hope you’re right.”

“I’m always right.” Christian nodded. “He’ll accept Dario, and he’ll want to meet him right away. I want him to meet him before he doesn’t have the opportunity.”

“Right.” I agreed. I think we were all prepared for what kind of hell would break loose after Lucio died, even though Berto’s plans were on hold at the moment. He didn’t have Dario to rely on, and he did not know where Luca was, but we were all on the same boat, assuming we didn’t even know the correct location of the money he was after.

“Is there a reason why we came so early?” I asked Christian. He always avoided going in the morning, but for some reason, he had changed his mind today. “No particular reason,” Christian spoke. “I just thought we could hang out here for the day if that’s alright with you?”

“I’m fine with it.” I rolled my eyes. “I only don’t know if your mom will be.”

“Don’t act crazy.” Christian chuckled. “My mom still likes you. Trust me. If she didn’t, you would’ve noticed it by now.”

He had a point. Cesca was a devil, and if she really wanted me gone, she would’ve made sure of it. “You’re not going anywhere, Serena, and neither is Siena.” Christian smiled. “I’ll never let go of you again.”

I looked down, embarrassed, and tried to avoid his eyes. “Stop being so corny.”

“Stop pushing me to be so corny,” Christian complained while he stepped out of the car and went to the back to grab Siena. “I can’t wait until I can ask her what’s so funny.” Christian laughed while he took a look. at her happy face.

“Neither can I.”

I locked my arm with Christian’s and walked towards the front door. “You two also here?” One of the guards spoke. “It’s really crowded today. Your dad has a lot of visitors.”

“I can see,” Christian commented before we walked in. The house filled with many voices as we slowly we made our way to the living room. “Hey?” I spoke, surprised. “What are you guys doing here?”

I looked at my mom, my dad, and my brothers, who all sat around Lucio. My dad immediately got up made his way over to hug me. “Visiting, of course!” He spoke while my mom looked right past me as if she was looking for something.
