Fall For My Ex's Mafia Dad novel Chapter 335

Everything changes the moment we get the test results. Alessi calls Daniel and we all hear his loud, enthusiastic approval coming through the phone that Daniel, wincing, has to hold away from his ear. I smirk, digging into my pancakes and watching Daniel’s face as he speaks in Italian to his uncle, accepting his congratulations and saying a bunch of stuff I don’t understand.

“Sexy,” Janeen says, sitting down next to me and with a yawn, her eyes on Daniel. “Does your other one do that? With the speaking Italian?”

“He sure does,” I reply, smirking, stabbing at my pancakes.

“Please refrain from drooling over my boyfriend,” Jerome says next to me, pointing his fork at Janeen. “I’m not sure he’s gay enough to resist your wiles.”

I laugh and point my own fork at Jerome. “He’s my husband, interloper,” I point out, grinning. “If any of us are encroaching on someone’s territory, it’s you.”

Jerome laughs, shaking his head at me and accepting his own plate of pancakes from Papa Thompson, who smiles but pretends he’s not listening. I grin and take a sip from my coffee as Daniel hangs up his phone.

“Well,” he says, looking around at all of us with a tight grin. “Looks like they’re coming for a visit.”

“What!?” I gasp, dropping my fork. “Here!?”

He gives a shrug, grimacing at me. “I can’t stop them. They know where we’re living.”

I groan, tilting my head back and staring up at the ceiling. Above all, this little beach house has been a haven away from the world where we can all be ourselves and don’t have to pretend.

So Alessi and Natalia? Here? It’s the absolute last thing I want.

“Um, I did not invite them to my beach house,” Janeen snaps, stabbing at her breakfast. “They are not welcome here.”

“Still Fay’s house,” Daniel says, giving her a cheeky wink and turning to me. “Unless…” he says, hesitating. “This goes against your plans?”

“I am so happy for you both,” Natalia says, looking between us. “A blessing – a little baby – we will hope for a boy, yes?” With that, she grabs the bags of gifts she brought with her and happily starts up the steps into the beach house. “Daniel! There are more in the car, go and get them!”

When we both start out the door, she calls after us in a chiding voice. “Do not lift a finger, Fay! You are a sacred vessel – let the men do it!”

I laugh a little, looking up at Daniel in shock. “I guess she likes me more than you now,” I say, grinning.

“I know,” he murmurs, his hands on his hips as he stares after the woman who has done nothing but worship him his whole life. Then he looks back at me. “I kind of hate it.”

“Don’t be jealous,” I say, reaching up to pinch his cheek. “I’m a sacred vessel, after all,” I sigh, walking towards the stairs and starting up them with not a single thing in my hands. Daniel grumbles as he follows after, carrying several more bags filled with presents.

In the house, Natalia and Alessi are greeting my family more cheerfully than they ever have before, which I can tell unsettles my dad and Janeen. Jerome made himself scarce about half an hour ago. After all, while it makes sense that we hired him to be our body guard while he’s out on bail, it doesn’t really make sense that he’d be lounging around my house in his pajamas, does it?
