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

Chapter 194

“I feel guilty.”

Staring at my phone while Christian called me and ignoring his calls on purpose made me feel like a horrible person. I needed him to learn his lesson, but I also wanted to hear Siena’s voice. It had already. been a few hours, but I couldn’t take it anymore.

It would only be for one night.

I would call him back in the morning.

“You look way too good in that dress to worry about him.” Isobel rolled her eyes. We made plans to go out, and I just went along with it.

“What are you so afraid of?” She asked. “Are you scared he’ll yell at you?”

YesP

That was one thing he was good at.

“Do you do this to Beau often?” I changed the subject. I had not realized how embarrassed I was until Isobel made that comment. It was actually strange how I had to adjust to Christian’s lifestyle and fit myself to his standards.

“Yes, it has to be done to teach him a lesson.” Isobel smiled while she applied her lipstick. It was so easy for her, but that was because Beau saw her as his equal.

“Really?”

“Yes.” Isobel nodded. “And he’ll forget his lesson for a while, but after a few weeks, you have to repeat the same thing.

“It’s different for me. I have a child.” I chuckled. I didn’t want to pick fights, but I felt like I had a good reason this time. I could only do so because Siena wasn’t around, but I had no to repeat this in the future.

“True.” Isobel sighed. “And that’s the very reason why you can’t let him boss you around like that.”

She made a valid point. Perhaps if I would’ve shown him who’s boss from the first time I met him, none of this would’ve happened. Maybe if we communicated like humans instead of robots from the first time we met, he would’ve understood my feelings.

“I know Dario wouldn’t do stuff like this,” Isobel teased me. I wanted to get angry, but she was right. If I would’ve told Dario I missed him, he would’ve said the same thing in a split second.

I knew he missed me. I just wanted him to be honest about his feelings. “Isobel, maybe we shouldn’t be
