His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies by C. Tamika

Chapter 103

“So, Serena-what did you study?” Dario started his interrogation after eying me for minutes straight There it was again that question. That same question I could not answer.

“I’m a college dropout; the only diploma I have is a high school diploma.” 1 chuckled and waited for Dario’s reaction.

“Do you hear that, dad?” Dario laughed as Mauro joined him. “I’m sorry, is there a problem?” Christian

asked.

“No, no-no problem!” Dario shook his hands. “It’s just that I was one too-but look at where I am right. now.” He proudly spoke.

“Wait, really?” I asked with my mouth wide opened. Maybe it wasn’t the end of me; perhaps I could really do it. “Did you go back to school?” I wondered. “I don’t really have a good experience with school, but f was thinking of going back,” I told him.

“School?” He burst out laughing as Mauro joined him. Christian had an overly bothered look on his face, and I didn’t know whether it was out of jealousy or hatred. “If school isn’t for you-then it isn’t for you,” Dario explained.

“I never liked learning or working-so I never stuck my time and energy in it. My dad and I came from nothing and built our way up.” He spoke. “So you don’t think I should do it? Go back to school?”

“I think you’re wise enough to make your own decision.” Dario smiled. “How about you Christian, how were your grades in school?” Dario asked him. “Good,” Christian growled.

“Good? They were the best-always top of his class.” Lucio bragged about him. “I can see.” Dario chuckled. “You know, you have some good ideas-maybe we can work together in the future.”

“Work together? That’s funny.” Christian sighed. “Didn’t you guys came here to drive us away?”

I almost choked in my food and gave Christian a look, telling him to shut up. “I’m just kidding; what’s with the stiff faces?” He chuckled. Lucio let out a small laugh before everyone joined.

“You almost got me there!” Dario laughed out loud. “Look, even the baby is laughing!” He pointed to Siena.

“We came here to fill in the Garcia’s spot; we didn’t come here to put an end to you. We wouldn’t dare!” Dario smiled while Mauro nodded his head. I could feel Christian’s dark aura from next to me and could. feel that he had enough, but in fact, he was the one making the diner awkward.

“So Serena, how about that poopy diaper your you promised me?” Dario winked. “Poopy what?” Christian turned his head to face me.

“Inside joke, don’t worry about it.” Dario shrugged him off. “So when?”

I immediately spoke. “And after that, I can take you and Siena on a date,
