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

Chapter 190

“Siena, do you see all of this?” Christian asked as he walked through the driveway. He did just as promised. and picked up Siena, so he could at least spend some time with her, but the last thing he expected was the thousands of trucks and people on his property.

He barely felt comfortable around people he didn’t know, and he was starting to second-guess his decision. Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea after all.

“Your aunt and your uncle are starting to feel a little bit too comfortable, don’t you think?” He asked Siena. He could hear her familiar squeal near his ear and laughed at her reaction.

“Of course you don’t mind. You’re just like the Alfonzo’s.”

He entered the house with the mission to find Carmen, but the last thing he had expected when he walked towards the living room was to find Matteo, who stared right back at him.

Christian’s eyes moved to Carmen and Luke, who were having some kind of discussion with Enzo and

Beau.

Did he found out? Christian thought. He still felt anxious about Berto and suspected Matteo might’ve visited for the wrong reasons.

“You!” Matteo called out. Christian blinked his eyes in confusion and decided to wait for Matteo’s reaction, but all Matteo did was pull Christian into an unexpected hug. “I heard you send my daughter on vacation, and I heard all about what you’ve been doing for Carmen and Luke!”

Siena leaned forward to go to Matteo while Christian handed her over. “She hasn’t forgotten what her grandpa looks like!”

Christian smiled at Siena and caressed his fingers through her hair. It was still beyond him how his uncle. would ever want to break the bond between the Lamberti’s and the Alfonzo’s.

“So, what have you been up to?” Matteo asked. “Nothing.” Christian spoke to get him off his back, but it wasn’t exactly that easy. “Nothing?” Matteo chuckled. “How are you going to keep a business running by doing nothing.”

“Right?” Christian played along. Matteo’s presence still made him anxious, and it was mainly because he knew how fast that man had turned against him.

“Where are you leaving Siena tomorrow?” Matteo asked. Christian cracked his brains and thought about tomorrow, but he couldn’t understand what Matteo meant by that. “What?”

“You weren’t planning on letting her stay here, right?” Matteo questioned. “The party?”
