His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 259

Marvin

I opened the door to the living room, but no one seemed to have noticed me. The room was heavily decorated with balloons, and I could not understand why my dad decided to go full out.

I had expected it to be much worse, but it was just my mom, Tiago, and Anya. The devil, my dad, was not even here, but I was not surprised. This was what he did.

He liked to pretend as if he cared, while we all knew he didn’t. If it didn’t revolve around the business, he did not care.

My eyes fell onto my mom, who was having a conversation with Tiago and Anya, before I stared at the ceiling, which was full of pink and blue balloons. “Is this your gender reveal or your baby shower?” Panther laughed at his own joke.

It had already been a minute, but they still hadn’t noticed me. “Seems like I’m not that important, Panther,”

I connected my fist with the door and knocked a few times to grab their attention.

“Guess who’s back?” I spoke as they had finally noticed my presence.

Tiago and Anya stared at me with big eyes while my mom held her hand against her heart and closed her eyes. “M-m…what?” Tiago stuttered.

He took baby steps forward. “I-It’s really you is it? Tiago spoke, confused. My mom released a loud squeal and pushed Tiago aside so she could pull me into a hug. She pulled me in closer and sobbed into my arms while I frowned at Tiago.

I felt guilty towards him. I wasn’t even here for a minute, and she had already replaced him. Clara Castillo was the complete opposite of my dad. My mom was soft, kind-hearted, and determined to take care of

It wasn’t as if she didn’t see me at all because she often came to visit, so perhaps it was because she could finally touch me.

“Please…don’t ever leave me again.” She smiled as she pulled away. I gave her a nod and wiped the tears from her eyes. If there was one thing I hated, it had to be tears. “I’m home, mom.”

“What are you doing here?” Tiago stepped forward. I shrugged my shoulders and opened my arms to pull him into a hug. “Marvin…” Tiago whispered.

“1-1-I thought you were supposed to get out in six weeks!”

I didn’t know whether my eyes were deceiving me, but he didn’t seem that happy to see me. Out of everyone, I was probably the most excited to see Tiago, only for him to react that way.

“So, you’re not happy to see me?”

“Don’t be crazy. Of course, I am!”

I side-eyed the maids who had all gathered around and were whispering amongst each other. “Yes!” I shouted. “The rumors are true, the decorations were for me, and the Lord has returned!”

They all stopped talking and lowered their heads in embarrassment. Despite being good at gossiping, they seemed like lost little chickens and could not take it whenever I addressed them. “So, are you guys going to keep staring at me, or are you going to offer me a drink?”
