His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 179

Chapter 179

I let out a yawn and rubbed my eyes before I sat up straight to see whatever Christian was doing. It was early in the morning, and as always, he was pulling weird stuff again.

“Hey, pervert!” I yelled at him and threw a pillow to his back. Christian froze up and looked at me with guilty eyes.

“Give me a good reason why you’re holding my bikini top and my bra.”

“That’s because.” Christian stuttered. “W-well, you see-”

“Well?” I frowned. “Okay, you’ve got me.” Christian sighed. “I was looking for your size because I think your boobs shrunk.”

I burst out laughing and decided to ignore whatever he was doing. It was obvious it was because he planned on buying me some presents, so I decided to let it drop.

“What’s with the footsteps?” I asked Christian as I focused on the sound behind the closed door. “The nurses are leaving,” Christian explained. “We have no need for them anymore and they are moving away their equipment, so…”

The wrong question at the wrong time.

“I can’t stop thinking about Gina,” Christian confessed. I tried playing it cool and did not remove the smile from my face.

Relax, Serena, she’s already gone.

“How come?” I played along. Christian sighed and sat down on the bed. “She didn’t show me any signs of wanting to leave yesterday, and now she’s just…gone,” Christian spoke.

“Isn’t that a good thing?” I asked. “Maybe she’s ready to move on with her life an-

“Impossible.” Christian stopped me. “She went through something traumatic which you can’t move on from that quickly. That’s impossible.”

“I moved on,” I shrugged. If I could move on with my life, so could she. Her wounds turned into scars, and she could walk just perfectly fine. Christian smiled and caressed his hand through my hair. “Not everyone is as strong as you, Serena.”

I blushed and looked down as I took in Christian’s words. I wouldn’t say I liked bragging about myself, but Christian was absolutely right. I was a strong person.

“Well, Enzo said that she’s fine, and you should trust your brother,” I told Christian. I honestly couldn’t care less whether he would figure it out or not, but I had yet to thank Enzo. Knowing him, he probably bribed the nurses to keep their mouths shut.

“So, what are our plans for today?” I asked Christian. “Are we going to take care of that list? Look for the key? Sell some of that special flour-

“No, not today.” Christian stopped my imagination. “I want to spend some alone time with my cousins if that’s alright with you.” Christian smiled. “I want to visit Dana, and I want to introduce Dario to Gio.”

He seemed so suspicious, and my insecurities were getting the best of me. Why did he not want me around? What if he looked at my bra because he planned on buying some other girl stuff instead?
