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.

“Sure, whatever you want.” Christian sighed as he gave Dario a side-eye. He dialed Serena’s number and waited for her to answer her phone.

excited!”

“Where’s Siena? Can I hear her voice?” Serena asked in a hurry. Christian widened his eyes and was lost for words. He didn’t want to tell her that her tears were for nothing and that also he could not take care of the baby at the moment.

“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?”
