Chapter 170

“It’s Dario….Dario Orlando.”

There was pin-drop silence in the room, and no one dared to open their mouths. All I could do was stare at Christian as he observed the stoned looks on Franco’s and Lucio’s faces, with the only one showing some reaction being Cesca.

“D-dario?” Franco stuttered. Christian pulled out a chair and grabbed Franco’s hand. “Maybe you should sit down, grandpa.”

Franco took the chair from Christian’s hands while Lucio was still unable to say a word “Dad” Christian sighed. “Please say something.”

“How?” Lucio whispered, surprised. “How is that possible?”

“So you mean to tell us that our enemy is m-my grandson?” Franco asked. “A-are you sure?”

“Positive.” Christian nodded. “There’s no reason to doubt him, and he’s not our enemy anymore.”

“Dario and his uncle, Mauro, hid behind the Orlando name because Dario actually came here to take what’s his.” Christian twisted the truth a little. “The family business.”

It was so fascinating to me how he just decided to leave out the part where his uncle was still alive, and all I could hope for was for it to work out the way he had planned. What would happen if Berto would suddenly show himself before Lucio’s death?

“We had a mutual agreement, and whatever grudge he’s been holding has completely disappeared,” Christian spoke. “All he wants is to be part of the family.”

“How do you know that? Wasn’t he trying to sabotage us?” Cesca snarled from the back while Christian rolled his eyes. “I told you we had an agreement. I wouldn’t put this family in danger if I didn’t think he was a good person.”

Lucio let out a surprised laugh and looked at Christian with hopeful eyes while Franco did the same. “I want to meet him!” Lucio spoke. “We should invite him to the photoshoot and- ̈

“I’ve already done that.” Christian smiled, relieved. It seemed like he did know Franco and Lucio as the best because he might’ve expected this reaction, but it was a complete surprise to me.

“I want to properly meet him.” Franco spoke. “I want to meet my grandson.”

“I know, grandpa,” Christian smiled. “That’s my next question. “Would the two of you be willing to meet him before the photoshoot?”
