Chapter 336
Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father
Especially with the way that he and Daniel look at each other these days. I donât even think they realize it.
âFay, come and see,â Natalia says, patting the sofa next to her and beginning to open the packages, which all contain baby clothes and baby supplies. âI know that you donât know what youâre doing with this â so I got you everything you need, and all the best.â
I do my very best to not roll my eyes at Natalia, who â I refrain from pointing out â never did this herself. But luckily, Janeen rolls her eyes for both of us as she passes me onto the way into the kitchen, her expression a mix of confusion and disgust.
The next two hours pass cheerfully, with Natalia and Alessi being genuinely nice to everyone for the first time. And, despite my criticism of her, Nataliaâs gifts are all really beautiful and will probably be helpful once the baby comes. I bite my lip a little, considering that...well, that I should probably pay more attention to preparing for this child, to ensuring that I know what the hell to do once I have an infant to care for.
But with everything on my plate?
Well, frankly, Iâve got seven months to prep for my baby, and quite a bit to do before that.
Itâs nearly nighttime when weâre all gathered out on the back deck, lounging around the table with a set of cocktails that Alessi mixed up for us.
Natalia sits next to me in the same way that she has stuck by my side all day, which has been annoying and baffling. But I shrug it off, considering that she really just wants the babyâs company, not mine.
I smile as I watch Daniel chatting with Alessi, the two of them clearly happy and united in their excitement about the baby. Iâm pleased by this, knowing that peace-loving Daniel was unhappy about the rift between himself and his uncle. As much as he knows that we lied to the Bianci family to make this happy reunion possible, I can see that heâs still pleased with the result.
My happiness, of course, is tempered a little by my jealousy as I look around the table at everyoneâs drinks. I sigh, pouting at my own glass of soda and then glaring around at everyone elseâs espresso martiniâs. They just look so frosty and delicious â
Honestly, Iâm not even that big of a drinker, but nothing makes me want to steal Danielâs cocktail away from him like being told that I canât -
But before I can get too jealous, Natalia distracts me by giving me the shock of my life.
âDo you know, Fay, I owe you an apology,â she says, leaning closer to me so that her words are for us alone.
I turn to her in surprise, completely without words. What on earth is this?
âI admit,â she says, giving me a little smile as she rests her chin on her fist and looks me over, âI thought that you and Daniel did not have a real relationship.â
Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father ï¤Chapter 0335 âOh,â I reply, my eyebrows going up. And then I laugh a little, shaking my head. âWell, yes,â I say, sighing, âyou made that pretty clear when you tried to set him up with about a hundred other girls.â
She shrugs along with me. âHonestly, I didnât think that would work either, but I had to try.â
Curious, I tilt my head at her words.
She leans in towards me, giving a wink. âDo you know, I always thought Daniel was a little...well, that he liked men,â she says, laughing.
My blood runs cold to hear her say it, and it takes every bit of me to ensure that my fear doesnât show on my face.
