His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 221

Chapter 221

“It’s almost ridiculous how you manage to take good pictures of yourself but bad pictures of your daughter,” Isobel commented. “It’s a bit selfish, don’t you think?”

We were in my room. During the past two days at my parents’ house, she was nice enough to keep me company. Just like Christian, Beau was too busy, and Luis was at his older brother’s place. I, of course, preferred Christian’s company a bit more, but Isobel would do for now.

“I guess I’m sorry.” I shrugged. “We’ll get back to this subject in a few months.”

Isobel shook her head. “No, we won’t,” She smiled. “Because I’ll take better pictures of my babies.”

“Speaking of babies, you should lower your voice for once,” I complained. “Siena is sleeping, and trust me —we do not want to wake her up.”

“Anyway, you should send him this picture.” Isobel pointed out. “It’s the only decent one.”

If there was something that scared me, it was her straightforward personality. It was hard to imagine what kind of demons she would bring onto this planet, considering my brother also had a questionable personality. “Thank you.” I sighed. “I don’t care if he forgets about me, but he can’t forget about Siena.”

“He won’t. You know that.”

Did I? Being apart from him made me nervous. The only thing which would make me comfortable was a tracker in his phone. At least that way, I could find out whatever he was up to.

“So, how are things between the two of you?” Isobel asked.

“Good, perfect actually-and it scares me, I spoke. “The last time things were this good, he cheated on

me.”

“Yeah.” Isobel chuckled. “He won’t do it again.”

I shot her a sarcastic look. “I mean it. He won’t!” She defended him. Of course, I trusted Christian, but I wasn’t about to let him make a fool out of me for the second time.

“Things are different this time,” Isobel stated.

“How?”

“He knows that you’ll not let him walk over you, and he knows that you’ll do what’s best for Siena.

I smiled at her answer. I didn’t want to be too controlling, but perhaps that was the best thing. One thing was sure. I was going to do what was best for Siena and was done giving second chances.

“How are things with Dario?

“Still awkward, but I don’t even care anymore.” I shrugged, trying to hide my sadness. “It doesn’t matter.”

Of course, it did. He was more than someone I used to work with. He was a good friend who used to have my back-and now I couldn’t have his. The sweet Dario, who I became friends with, had changed into a cold stone, and there was nothing I could do about it.

As crazy as it sounded, Christian’s confession about forcing him to take his distance from me made me feel a bit better. At least I knew I wasn’t the problem.

“Enough about me. How is my brother treating you?“

“Good.” Isobel nodded.
