His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 304

Marvin

“She can absolutely not stay here. I don’t know what the hell Panter is thinking-

I entered the library, searching for my mom. Elena, who was exhausted, had decided to take a nap, which gave me enough time to think about my decision.

“Yes, I know Marvin.” My mom yawned, getting up from her chair. She threw her book onto the side table and walked closer. “So, what are you going to do now?”

It wasn’t my intention to let her stay here, but kicking her out was also not an option. I didn’t want her near the Castillo’s, and especially not in the lion’s den-as if one dinner wasn’t bad enough.

We were not an ordinary family, and anyone directly involved with us had to be prepared to their lives at stake. I took my distance to protect her, and this was not what I wanted.

I had to get her out of here, and I had to do it quickly.

“Are you done with the preparations for the house?” I asked. “Yes, you can move in next week.” My mom confirmed.

That was good news. That meant Elena could move in with me until we could come up with a perfect solution. “Good, Elena’s moving in with me.”

“Oh wow.” My mom frowned.

“Oh wow, what?”

“Nothing.” She smirked. “I’m sorry, but what is she exactly to you?”

“What?”

She let out a frustrated sigh. “Why do you want to take care of her?”

Why did I want to take care of her? She was the only regular person I could talk to. She needed my help, and she was my friend-so it was only normal for me to take care of her. “Just because.”

“I think you feel guilty because you couldn’t take care of Tiago-so you moved on to Elena instead.” My mom concluded. “Because you feel obligated to protect someone to make yourself believe that you’re a good person….that’s in your nature, and that’s who you are.

I didn’t utter a word. My mom had a point, and I hated it whenever she was right. I couldn’t
