Chapter 186

Christian

“It looks like it’s just you and me, Siena.” Christian smiled while he carried Siena out of the car. “And us,” Dario spoke.

Christian forced a smile onto his face and gave Dario a nod. “And…you two.”

He knew his 60 hours to complete everything started the Serena left, so they didn’t waste any time and rushed towards their first destination-Franco’s house,

There was a lot to take care of. There was Carmen and Luke’s birthday party, which would be tomorrow evening, finding the key and transferring the money. Not knowing anything about Berto’s whereabouts only made him more nervous because he knew he was probably up to something. He knew that he would eventually come back for not only the money but also Luca.

“Maybe if you gave Siena to her mom.” Beau began. “What’s the point of keeping her here if you’re going to make your grandparents watch her.”

“No.” Christian shook his head. “What if something happens to the baby like an allergy or something, and I’m not there to help?”

“I need her by my side, and I don’t want Serena to be stuck with a baby.”

“Yes, just imagine.” Beau spoke sarcastically. “Which mom would want to be stuck with their baby?” He muttered as he walked past Christian and made his way inside. Christian stopped in his steps and looked at Siena, who unfortunately did not have any say in this.

Seeing the tears in Serena’s eyes as she said her goodbyes to Siena was painful to look at, but he only did it to help her. He did it so she could enjoy her time.

“Are you okay?” Dario chuckled while he patted his shoulder. Christian looked at his cousin and thought. about Serena’s suggestion to share the family business.

He still hadn’t quite figured him out yet. He could see how much he cared for Serena and that he was clearly holding himself back for the sake of his trust, but he could still not understand his intentions.

“Do you think Beau’s right?” Christian asked him. Dario gave Siena a pinch in her cheeks and shrugged his shoulders. “It’s just for two days, not two weeks, and I’m sure Serena will survive.” Dario encouraged him.

“Just imagine what it would be like if she brought the baby along.” Dario began as the two made their way inside. “Knowing Serena, I don’t think she’ll want to be stuck in a room while the others go out and party

“Party?” Christian spoke, surprised. It was one thing that hadn’t crossed his mind. “Of course she’s going to party. I mean, come on!”

Christian felt flustered as he followed Dario to the living room and thought about the consequences until he realized he was in no position to say anything.

He knew he lost that right a long time ago.

“Is that Siena?” Christian’s grandma, Maria, gasped as she made her way over to the baby. She focused her attention on the baby before she smiled at Dario and pulled him into a tight hug. “And my grandson,” She spoke proudly.

“How is your uncle doing?”

“Uncle Mauro is fine,” Dario told her. “He told me to thank you for the cake recipe. He’s really into baking. these days, so-”

“What about me, grandma?” Christian interrupted the two while he rolled his eyes. He wasn’t jealous. because he knew Dario deserved all the love and attention he could get-but he didn’t want to get ignored either. If anything, he admired Dario for how they treated him.

“I’ve seen your face for decades. Stop.overreacting.” She laughed while she grabbed Siena from his arms. “Are you going to be okay?” Christian questioned, while Maria gave him an offended look.
