Chapter 187

Christian

“You go ahead. I have to make a quick call” Christian told Dario as the two had finally reached the warehouse.

Christian gave Beau the task to help Carmen prepare for the party because he didn’t want to abandon her. A happy Carmen meant a happy Serena, and he did not want to risk anything

He smiled at Serena’s text message before his eyes moved to Dario. “I think I’ll pass. I still feel a bit uncomfortable.” Dario told him.

Christian wanted to call Serena before her departure and had hoped for it to be a private conversation, but he knew that if he was willing to share the business, it also meant he had to trust his cousin.

“Siena?” Christian mumbled while he tried to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why she couldn’t speak to the baby. “She’s asleep.”

Dario stared at Christian with raised eyebrows and wondered why he would even lie about something like that. “Asleep?” Serena huffed. “Why do we have a boring baby?”

Christian heard a deep sigh from her mouth before she turned back into her cheerful self.
