His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 206

“So, I guess we’re back.” I smiled at Isobel. It was a nice break, but I was glad to be back.

Faith, Luna, and Olivia were on their way home, while Isobel and I were on our way to the mansion. I hadn’t spoken to Christian since last night, and I truly hoped he was doing okay. I knew my Christian, and I also knew that he had probably been overworking himself.

The situation with Berto seemed to have gotten way out of hand, and to be honest, I didn’t even know if Christian was healthy enough to deal with all of it. I knew he loved his uncle and understood things were not going as he had planned.

“Have you spoken to Beau this morning?” I asked Isobel. I had been so obsessed with helping Christian that I had forgotten all about my twin. Isobel scrunched up her nose and shot me a disgusted look. “I know he’s your brother, but please don’t mention his name.”

“Why?”

“Why?” Isobel asked, surprised. “Are you really asking me why?”

I closed my eyes as I tried to ignore her rant about what kind of terrible person my brother was, What was she even doing with him in the first place if she could only complain about him?

After a long drive of listening to Isobel’s nagging, we had finally arrived at the mansion. The car had barely stopped before I opened the door and ran over to Christian and Siena, who were waiting at the door.

“Siena, my baby!” I called out as I opened my arms. My heart melted at the sight of the bright smile on her face as she leaned forward so I could pick her up. “Did you see that?” I pouted at Christian.

Siena rested her head against my shoulder and started babbling. “Did you miss mommy?” I asked before my eyes moved to Christian. “She obviously has a lot to tell me.”

“I can tell.” Christian smiled. He looked at me as if he was waiting for me to jump into his arms, but I decided to tease him for a bit longer. “Not bad for a dead-beat, huh?” I smirked as I held Siena’s hand in

mine.

“Serena…” Christian spoke with a sad frown. I laughed at the dismayed look on his face and opened my free arm. “I’m kidding. Come here.”

Christian seemed like a happy kid as he pulled me into his embrace and attacked me with kisses. He moved his lips from my forehead to my nose, cheek and ended at my lips.

“Why do you always have to be that rough!” I laughed as I tried to push him off. The only one who could appreciate that gesture was Siena, who had burst into fits of laughter. “I’m sorry, it’s because I missed you.” Christian stroke my cheek with his finger.

He changed his approach and pulled me into a gentle embrace. “I missed you.” He whispered into my ear. I smiled at his words and felt at ease by his decision to take the first step.

“I missed you too.” I smiled. “Where is Enzo?”

“He made sure the house was clean, and then he left to visit my dad.”

“Where are my Carmen and Lukey?”

“Uh, they went home…I’ll explain everything later,” Christian spoke. “I just want to enjoy this moment.”

“Me too, and the next time I’m going on vacation, we’re going together-as a family.”
