Chapter 173
Dario
I enjoyed seeing you today!
Dario
I almost fell from my carseat and stared at the heart emoji with big eyes. He wasn’t flirting with me. No, he
wasn’t.
The heart was just meant to be something friendly and was nothing special. He said it himself. He didn’t want to create any issues with Christian.
But why was my heart beating fast? It was probably because I felt embarrassed. That had to be it.
Dario
See you tomorrow, beautiful
I gasped and threw my phone on my knees. Was I suppose to reply?
My thoughts got interrupted by Christian, who opened the car while he held Siena in his hands. “Siena!” I called out in a happy tone. She squealed after seeing my face and buried her head in Christian’s neck.
I had the sudden urge to unbuckle my seat belt to get to my daughter-but Christian, who was as quiet as a mouse, made his way to the back and seemed to be in a hurry to leave.
“Are you not going to argue with me and over who should drive?” I laughed at him, but he didn’t even crack a smile. “You drive.” He spoke while he buckled up Siena.
“Oh, okay,” I spoke, confused. “Are you staying in the back, or…”
Christian gave me an irritated look which already told me everything I needed to know. “Okay, so you’ll stay in the back.” I sighed. He was having one of his mood swings again, and it made me think about. Dario’s words. Did Christian really go through with his plan and faced his uncle?
“Christian, wait!” A voice suddenly yelled from afar. Franco ran over and stuck his head through the open car window. “Oh, wow,” I spoke, surprised, but Franco ignored me and stared at Christian.
“So you’re going to leave, just like that?” Franco frowned. “No explanation, nothing as to why my son, who is supposed to be dead, is still alive?” He yelled out, but this time Christian leaned towards the window and slammed his hand in front of Franco’s mouth.
