His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 226

“Can I hold her!” Vince used all of his strength to sit up straight. A few days had passed, and surprisingly enough, he was making quick progress.

That was the reason why I had decided to let him meet Siena officially. I placed Siena in his arms and watched as Siena snuggled against him. “I think she likes me!” Vince laughed proudly.

“I think she does.” I smiled b

ack. She was familiar with Vince, which I wanted from the start. In a way, it was as if he had never left.

Although he was present as well, Christian returned to his duties, and all I wondered was whether he could keep his promise. Would this Berto situation really be over in a few days? Because it sure didn’t look like it.

Vince had a lot of catching up, but it was a relief that we didn’t have to tell him much about Berto or Lucio. According to him, he had heard everything.

“How is the other baby doing?” Vince questioned. For a second, my eyes turned big before the realization finally hit me. That’s true. He heard everything-including the news about my new pregnancy.

“I don’t know,” I spoke, flustered. “I don’t want to bother Christian, and I haven’t really found the perfect opportunity to make an appointment.”

Vince nodded and looked down at Siena, who rested her hand on his chin. “This little satan hit me…” He spoke. “I remember all of it.”

“You do?” I asked, surprised, completely ignoring his nickname for Siena. Of course, he did. Vince threw back his head in laughter. “Yes, and she punches like Christian!” He said. “She got a lot of anger for a baby”

Hearing that comparison was supposed to make me happy, but the truth was that I didn’t want her to be like Christian. No, I wanted her to be Siena. I wanted her to have a normal childhood. Was I crazy for wanting that?

“I know I’ve said it countless of times already, but I really want to thank you and your family for everything you’ve done for Luis.” Vince began. “He looks so much more alive, healthy, happy..it’s amazing.”

“It is.” I agreed. “But we couldn’t have done it without your brother, Beau, and Isobel.” I acknowledged. “Your brother, Nic, took care of you-and Beau and Isobel did everything they could to make Luis happy.”
