His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 347

Everything was peaceful, so peaceful I couldn’t even believe it was real. Life had gone back to the way it use to as this was how we used to spend our days in the past.

My bond with dad had improved so much, we hadn’t argued since I had gotten back.

Victoria’s voice cut through the peaceful silence. “Do you think I should reply to Victor’s text?” A blush reached her cheeks.

“I think you should!” Rona who had been informed about everything told her.

Still, I couldn’t help but feel happy for her. She deserved this happiness, this chance at love.
