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

Chapter 106

“Sissy!” Carmen yelled out and ran into my arms. “Wait, why did you bring a suitcase?” She pointed at Vernon, who shrugged his shoulders.

“Siena and I are staying here for a while. Please don’t ask.” I replied as I pushed the suitcase in her hand and made my way over to grab Siena’s car seat. “Is she sleeping?” Carmen pouted.

“Wake her up.” She smiled and clasped her hands together. It was amazing to me how people always volunteered to wake up a screaming baby. “Maybe later, she just fell asleep.”

“Okay.” Carmen pouted. “I’ll tell mom that you’re here-she’ll be so happy!” Carmen squealed before she pushed the suitcase into the mansion. “I don’t know what happened between the two of you, but are you really okay?” Vernon asked.

Lita ran outside waved at me from a distance. She had a big smile on her face. Of course, she did. She had been pushing me to stay over for the longest-the only bad thing were the circumstances. “Hi, mom!” 1 greeted her and pulled her into a hug with my free hand.

She loved it whenever I called her mom, and the look on her face was to die for. “This is so unexpected, but I’m so happy to have you here. You and Siena are always welcome!” She spoke and grabbed the car seat from my hands. “I’ll take her inside. Come on.”

I followed Lita to the living room and looked at my little brother, Luke-who stared at me with frowned eyebrows. “Did you dump Christian?” He boldly asked while my mom and Carmen gave him a look. “I’m sorry.” He apologized and held his hands in the air.
