Betrothed To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 264

Luca’s POV

“Then I guess your supposed acquaintance is fully loaded.” I murmured as I turned around to start to

move towards the house, and James fell into step beside me instantly.

“Of course she is, she’s fully loaded and loves to spend money on cute boys like me.” He responded

and I turned my head around to glance at him for a few seconds before letting out a snort.

“Are you a boy?” I asked and watched as he narrowed his eyes at me almost immediately.

“Of course I am.” He responded and I breathed out a scoff as I started to shake my head.

“Bro, you’re not a boy? You’re a freaking man.” I informed him and watched as he rolled his eyes.

“Yeah, well jokes on you because I’m a freaking boy at heart.” He pointed out to me and I breathed out

a small chuckle but decided to drop that subject because after all, it wasn’t like I was going to be able

to change his mind if I even wanted to, and also because we were supposed to be discussing someone

else tonight and not this particular thing.

I waited for him to walk past me into the house before selling into steps behind him and pushing the

doors close, then proceeding to lock it with the keys.

“So,” James started to speak as he was taking his shoes off, with me leaning against the wall and

waiting on him. I glanced down at him to see him staring up at me before he continued to speak.

“Where’s your wife?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I scowled at him almost immediately. “What’s it with her?” I demanded as I narrowed my gaze at him.

“Nothing man, geez. Would you chill? I just innocently asked about her.” He started to say as he rose to

his feet and I scoffed a little as I pushed off the wall and started to walk past him.

“I didn’t even say a damn thing and you’re asking me to chill.” I threw at him from over my shoulder

after a couple of seconds.

“Yes, you didn’t say a thing with your mouth, that’s probably what you meant – but then when it comes

to your eyes? And your whole face? It felt like you were ready to pull a trigger at me back there.” He

said back to me and I rolled my eyes a little before turning back to him.

“Stop overreacting, damn.”

“I wasn’t overreacting, that was exactly as it happened, I was only calling it as it is.” He responded and I

huffed out a slow sigh before placing a hand on his shoulder in the next second.

“Let’s go meet up with Sarah in the kitchen, I haven’t told her you were going to be coming because it’s

always cute watching the shock cross her face at first.” I said to James who perked up in the next

moment, all our previous talk completely forgotten.

“Alright, alright, that’s a good thing.” He said to me as he walked down the hallway together with my

hand still on his shoulder.

“We won’t be spending too much time there please, so you had better make the whole thing brisk,

because of the meeting we have to have.” I informed him and breathed out a scuff when he scowled at

me in the next second.

“How can you ask me to cut off my time with her, knowing that I haven’t seen her in what? Years?” He

started to say and I breathed out a slow sigh at first befute making to respond to him. “Because we

have a meeting to hold, and also it’s not even been up to three weeks since you last saw her so stop

freaking overreacting over every damn thing.”

“Alright, fine, it’s been almost three weeks, but I really love to fawn over her each time u get to see her.”

“You can do the whole fawning thing once we’re done with the meeting since you’re staying for dinner,

doesn’t that work for you?” I suggested it after a few seconds.

“Wait, that’s actually smart, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that.”

“Well, it’s because you’re not as smart as I am, also, I’d have suggested you come straight to my office

with me, without revealing yourself to her yet until after we’re done with the meeting — but then that

can’t really be able to work because of your own dinner and I don’t want to put Matilda through any kind

of unnecessary stress.”

“The previous idea works just fine, I’d try to make the whole thing as brisk as possible.” He said as we

started to draw closer to the kitchen, that made the both of us automatically lower our voices a little.

“As brisk as possible.” I informed him and watched as he started to roll his eyes at me.

“That means I wouldn’t be able to flirt with her one bit, all thanks to you,”

“You’re such a creep, also what part of you can do all that later are you finding hard to completely

process?” I whisper shouted at him almost immediately and watched as he scowled at me instantly,

and in the next seconds, he was flipping me up and making his way unfit he kitchen before me. I rolled

my eyes a little as I stepped into the kitchen after a few seconds, noticing that Sofia wasn’t here at the

moment, which meant she was probably still upstairs till reading a book, or she had perhaps chosen to

fall asleep at a point. I suddenly wished I could go check up on her at this very moment, to see how she

was doing, to check what she was doing, to perhaps steal a few kisses and to check if she had also

drank the juice I gave her some time ago, but I dismissed those thoughts out of my head as soon as

they were planted into my head, because I just know that there was no way I was going to be making

my way upstairs which won’t end up in me wasting time that I was asking James not to waste.

I breathed out a small sigh as I watched the interaction between Sarah and James being as endearing

and beautiful as it as always been since I could remember, and ever faster than I thought James was

capable of, he was turning around to motion to me that he was already done, and ready to go get the

meeting started with me.

We made our way out of the kitchen, after we'd both grabbed a cold drink each, and then we were both

making our way down the hallway into my office. I sank down into my seat and James took the one

opposite me at the same time and coincidentally, we both placed our drinks on the desk at the same

time, making our eyes lock and a grin to break out on our faces at the same time.

This particular type of coincidence happens with James and I that at this point it wasn’t even supposed

to be a shock to me, but it still made us laugh each time it happened, like we had always reacted to it

ever since we were kids.

But then James, bringing who he was, decided to ruin the whole mood with his next words.

“So how many rounds have you done with your little wife on this desk?” He asked as he picked up his

drink from the table and the mouthful of drink which I had been about to swallow down a fleeting

second ago, got spat out from my mouth instantly.

“What the hell, man?” I demanded as I turned my eyes on him with a scowl on my face, but he only

shook his head at me before starting to speak. “Telling by your reaction, it’s so obvious that I’m

completely right – I wonder if this desk is even clean, just how much of a slut you are?”

“Fuck you, man.” I said to him after staring at him for a few long seconds, and his heaving laughs filled

up the whole of the office in the next moment.

******

“Hello there, once again.” I watched as Sofia interacted with James. They were currently standing a

good amount of feet away from each other and I was super glad that she had decided to change into

something else before coming down the stairs. She was currently in a blue colored gown that I thought

complimented her eyes so much, and a her strands of her hair was framing her face a little with the rest

rolled into a bun on the top of her head, but unlike back in the room which she used in painting

whereby a pencil held it up, it looked like she used a fucktons of ribbons and hair clips to hold it up in

such a classy way, making the bun look loose and firm at the same time.
