Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 331

James’ pov

“Finally…” I muttered as I dragged in a deep breath. I was currently outside the venue where the meeting had finally been held at.

After some coffee had gotten spilled on me yesterday morning by a stranger who had probably scraped her hands when she had fallen, and had then proceeded to make matters worse by rubbing her bleeding hands over my shirt. It had all ended up in her fainting and I had had no other choice than to take her over to the hospital that morning, therefore automatically canceling the meeting which I had spent months trying to put together.

I had been really pissed yesterday, and thankfully, the people had agreed to reschedule the meeting to the very next day after I had thankfully managed to convince them to do that.

And now, it is finally over. And of course, the deal had been signed. I was going to put a call through to Luca tonight to tell him the good news, but right now? My empty stomach was reminding me that I needed to put something inside.

I was driving towards any nearby restaurant when I got a call, which I didn’t bother checking before accepting.

It was the doctor whom I had handed the stranger to yesterday’s morning.

“Can I help you?” I asked almost immediately.

“The patient you brought in yesterday is still yet to wake up sir, that’s why I called.“

“What?”

“But it’s nothing too serious, she should be awake before tomorrow, I was just calling to keep you updated.” The doctor responded almost immediately.

To think I had first thought the stranger had been pretending to had fainted, not knowing that it was even more serious than I had thought.

“Let me know if there’s any changes.” Was the last thing I said before the call ended, and I forgot all about the unknown girl when I parked before a restaurant, some moments later.

————

I had got a call the next morning from the doctor, informing me that the girl has finally woken up. I told him I was going to come by later today, and then the call ended.

I didn’t stay at work a lot today, because I had some other important things that I needed to do.

I have a good relationship with my siblings, and my immediate younger sister who had gotten married four years ago, was expecting a baby really soon, and I offered to come by today, to see her and her first child who was a cute three year old girl named Mara, who was in love with me.

I loved children.

Because, what’s not to love about them? They’re so cute and adorable and the innocent and oh so lovable, and the amount of times I’ve gifted Mara gifts after gifts, my immediate younger sister named Zara, had threatened to send me home with any other gift I dare purchase for her child because in her opinion, I’ve gifted Mara way too much gifts at this point. But I was going to ignore her threat and get Mara a couple of cute teddy bears today because I knew Mara loved them, and I also knew Zara’s threats were completely empty.

“Jaymezz!” Mara sequeled as soon as she saw me and wiggled out of her very pregnant mother’s arms to fly into my arms and I lifted her up and cooed at her as she showered my face with very wet baby kisses that only made me laugh.

Zara was scowling at me, as soon as she noticed the package in my other hand, which I dumped beside her when she made no move to accept it.
