His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 181

Unlike Christian’s expectations, the drive to the hospital was as quiet as it could be, with the only sound being Siena’s babbling.

“So, how did you like the family?” Christian asked but felt stupid right after. It almost sounded as the weather is nice today, but he couldn’t take the silence anymore.

“Good…good.” Dario nodded. “Everyone was nice. Grandpa is so much different from what I expected. Grandma is also nice-and your mom? The best-

“My mom?” Christian laughed. Not many people liked Cesca, and he was aware of it. Sometimes he didn’t even know how he felt about her. “That’s a first. The majority dislikes her.”

Dario had a surprised look on his face. “Why?

“I don’t know where I should start, Christian replied. Knowing his mom, there was probably an entire list of reasons why people were not that fond of Cesca.

“She seems to love your dad a lot.” Dario noticed.

Yes, they are each other’s everything.” Christian chuckled. “There was a time I used to think that she didn’t love him, but she loves him beyond words. She isn’t that affectionate, but she shows it with her

action-

“And her eyes,” Dario commented as he looked over at Christian. “The way your parents look at each other…it’s the same way you and Serena look at each other.”

Christian tightened his grip around the steering wheel and tried to remain calm. He felt insecure by just hearing him speak about her, and it bothered him, but there was not a lot he could do. Dario was his cousin and making him feel like part of the family was his priority.

“Is that so?” Christian spoke, sarcastic. He felt relieved to see they had already arrived at the hospital and was eager to get out of the car. It was hard to interact with his cousin when all he mentioned was Serena. “We’re here.”

“We are,” Dario sighed. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been at a hospital-the elevators scare me.”

Christian had an amused look on his face and turned his head to look at Dario. “You too?” He asked in disbelief. “My dad and I don’t like them either!”

“Must be some family thing” Dario grinned. Not long after, the two made their way into the hospital and were headed towards Dana’s room. “Guess what? You get to push the stroller again!” Christian teased him as he pushed the stroller into Dario’s hands.

“Why are you always letting someone else push it?” Dario nervously asked. “Are you allergic to the material?”

“No.” Christian chuckled. He ordered Beau to push it because he felt as if it was his job to prepare him for fatherhood, but with Dario it was different. “I’m just asking you, because Siena is also your cousin.”

Dario looked down at Siena with a smile on his face as he took in Christian’s words and realized he was allowing him to be part of the family, Christian trusted him with Siena, and that was a lot. “I get it.”

“But shouldn’t we at least bring a present?” Dario wondered.

“No.” Christian shook his head. “Dana emptied all the stores already. My brother said no more presents.”

“I heard Gio is the coldest out of the three,” Dario spoke. It was well known that Gio was rude, grumpy. and angry all the time-but it wasn’t like that anymore. “He has changed…it’s because of Serena, Christian informed him.

The same brother he used to avoid had changed into a kind and reliable person, and everyone could thank Serena for that.
