His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

Chapter 365

Vincenzo

“I don’t know if anyone has ever told you this before-but you look ridiculous.” I shook my head disapprovingly, looking at Beau, who had his two toddlers seated on his lap.

I guess it was selfish of me to say, but I missed the good old times when my friends didn’t have any dad duties. Most of them had children, while it felt like I was stuck on the same level with my life not going anywhere.

“Not half as ridiculous as you driving to that thing’s house last night to make amends.”

“Really funny.” I rolled my eyes. “Her name is Aria, and she is the one that apologized to me.”

“I don’t understand why you’d want to listen to a single word she had to say,” Beau said. “Especially after the way she talked about Serena.”

“I know she’s said many questionable things, but she’s not that bad.”

Aria was crazy. I had concluded that a long time ago, but yesterday after seeing the tears streaming down her face, I felt terrible for her and could tell she honestly had no idea her actions had been disrespectful.

I wanted a peaceful marriage, and I wanted to be on the same page. Aria showing me she was willing to listen and communicate had changed my opinion about her. She would only be my wife in name, not in heart-but that did not mean I didn’t wish for us to get along.

“And what’s up with all these moving trucks.” Beau sighed. “Are you sure it’s just her and not her entire family?”

“No, not her family.” I scratched my head. “Just her maids, bodyguards, chef, driver, gardener-

“Yeah, yeah-I get it.”

“Emma, Ethan?” I leaned forward, smiling at the two toddlers who stared at me with wide eyes. “Do you think uncle Vince should get married?”

“Yes!” The two spoke, earning a scoff from their dad. “They don’t know what you’re talking about, and these two say yes to anything.

He had always been an honest person and had no problem telling me I was wrong. Also, this time he believed I made a big mistake in trusting Aria and trying to make this marriage work.

Unfortunately for him, I needed Aria to bring my family back on top. No matter how much I wanted to deny it, she was of value to me.

“Are you taking them back home later?” I smiled at Emma and Ethan, who rested their heads against their dad, yawning simultaneously.

“I’m dropping them off at my parents, so ‘’you know who can pick them up from there,”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to see her.” Beau pulled a disgusted face, refusing to call Isobel by her name. “And I’m pretty sure she’s been stalking me.”
