Betrothed To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 237

Luca’s POV

I started to absorb what he had just said, knowing that he was very right to worry but those same

thoughts had crossed my mind almost as soon as he had told me he’d be coming back here.

“Well, I’ll start to search around to make sure everywhere is safe before he’d be able to come back

here, starting from tonight, because I honestly don’t think it’s completely safe for him to just come in like

this.” I said to him after a few moments and watched as he started to nod his head at me slowly in the

next second.

“That’s the best thing that we’re supposed to do, I’ll start to check around as well.” James said in the

next second and paused then seemed to be like he was deep in thoughts, but then after a few

moments, he started to speak once again. “You know, I think a lot of people think he’s already dead,

don’t you think so?” James started to say and I huffed out a small laugh at his words in the next

second.

“Of course they had, that was the kind of thing I was going for when I sent him away to begin with, I

thought I told you about it.” I informed him and at this point, he had finally let go of my elbow and was

instead running his fingers through his hair in the next second before starting to speak. “I might have

forgotten about that, you know it’s been so long since we both really talked about it.”

“Yeah, yeah. Let’s get going then, we’re already running late as it is.” I said to him as I walked past him

and started to make my way towards the door, knowing that he was going to be falling into steps

behind me.

“You know, I think you’re trying to be done with everything today here at the office really fast just so you

can go back home to your wife.” James called out behind me and I paused in my steps and lifted my

have off the handle of the door which I had been about to pull open a fleeting moment ago, and I turned

around slowly until I was staring at him.

“You think so?” I asked him once I was sterimg at him with my eyebrows raised at him and my lips

pulled in a lopsided grin as well. James rolled his eyes at me as he rolled his eyes and folded his hands

on his chest before starting to speak. “Yes, I know so.”

He paused and shook his head as a small laugh poured out of his mouth, right before he decided to

continue. “I mean. It’s so freaking obvious that you’re so into her, you smitten whore.” He huffed out at

me and I couldn’t help but laugh at that before puffing out my shoulders and starting to speak.

“Oh yeah? Maybe I am smitten, what’s up with it?” I demanded with an eye roll and a small huff, I

mean, it was pretty obvious that I was so into her, there was no use for me trying to deny it at this point,

because what’s the point.

“You’re not even trying to deny it, wow.” James echoed out and I rolled my eyes at him in the next

second as I moved as little in my spot on the ground until I was leaning my back against the flat and

neat surface of the door in the next second.

“Why should I try to deny it?” I demanded almost instantly with one of my brows raised high up at him.

“Because that’s completely unlike you, you’d have denied it instantly when you were not married yet,

you know?” He pointed out and I shook my head a little before pushing myself off the door and starting

to make my way over to him in the next second. I paused before him and placed my hand on his

shoulder as I started to start to speak almost instantly.

“Well, don’t you think that’s because those other girls back then in the picture were not Sofia?” I asked

him in a low voice, staring into his eyes and tapping a little on his shoulder. He snorted a little in the

next second.

“I mean, that detail did cross my mind, but I didn’t think you’d ever in your life be smitten with a lady, Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

and also be able to admit it when I was expecting you to deny it really profusely.” He started to explain

to me really slowly with his hands still folded on his chest that I felt his shoulder shrug beneath my

touch a couple of times.

“I guess people do change, I guess?” I said to him after a few moments as I huffed out a small breath,

just as my mind started to print out images of Sofia and only Sofia on my head and mind in the next

second, making me feel my chest start to squeeze and tighten against my heart almost instantly.

“Nah, that’s a really crazy type of change.” He breathed out with a small laugh and I gave a couple

nods of my head, because I was totally agreeing with him, that was a really crazy kind of change if I

was going to be honest with myself.

Which was going to bring me back to the point that I honestly had no idea when I apparently started to

get really smitten with her – because I could remember barely exchanging more than twenty words with

her in our first two weeks of being married, and living together as well as also sleeping in the same bed

to begin with.

“Are you falling in love, man?” James' words echoed around in my head almost as soon as he had

asked that question, dragging me out of my thoughts straight into reality.

I blinked at him at first before moving my hand off his shoulder and taking a couple of steps away from

him, not knowing how best it was for me to answer that question.

How was I supposed to answer that question to begin with? First of all, I had no idea if I was falling in

love with her or not.

Ok, well, if I was going to be honest with her, then I was going to say that perhaps I was almost

completely in love with her, or even in love with her, but I most definitely wouldn’t be telling that to

James. Because for one, James was a crazy dude and I was sure he wasn’t going to let me live it down

to begin with.

“Let’s get going already.” I decided to say to him instead of answering his question which he had asked

me and I watched as he rolled his eyes at me instantly, catching on to what I was trying to do in the

next second.

“Are you seriously going to try to not answer that question right now?” He demanded with a small laugh

and a shake of his head as he started to slowly make his way towards where I was standing.

“I’m not trying to do a thing, we should just get going to the meeting already.” I said to him in response

and watched as he snorted in the next second.

He reached forward and shoved me a little in the middle of my chest before starting to speak. “You

motherfucker, you’re just trying to not answer the question, because since when did you start to

freaking care about being on time to meetings this way?” He demanded in the next second as he

pinned me with a pointed look which I’d most definitely classify as a knowing look as he said those

words to me.

I rolled my eyes at that in the next second as I shiver his hand from my chest as I made to speak.

“Since right this moment, obviously,” I said to him in the next second and watched as he didn’t even

bother to hide his snort and the fact that he didn’t buy what I had just said one bit.

“You’re hopelessly in love, my dude.” He said to me in the next second and I pursed my lips instantly,

not bothering to say a thing to that because I felt like it would be completely pointless at the moment.

James, who had instantly taken my silence and lack of argument as the right answer, started to speak

in the next moment. “Look at you being shamelessly in love and you’re not even trying to hide it.” He

continued to speak and I rolled my eyes at him in the next second and lifted my hand up to flip him off

almost immediately.
