In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: When Are You Having Kids?

Just then, Phillip walked over.

"Boss, your wife is here to see you," Phillip said to Emanuele.

Emanuele frowned. "What's she doing here?"

"She said she wanted to bring you some afternoon tea."

Emanuele walked from the warehouse to his office and saw Isabella waiting for him there.

She looked so youthful today, with her auburn hair cascading down her shoulders in soft waves like silk. On the desk was a box of food and Isabella said to him, "I just came from my mother's place and stopped by a coffee shop on the way. I brought you some coffee and sandwiches."

Emanuele smiled as he approached Isabella and grabbed her butt, pulling her closer.

He planted a kiss on her lips. "Baby, why are you being so sweet today? Bringing me food like this?"

She had never come to his office before without being asked; this was the first time.

"I missed you," Isabella replied.

"You're becoming more and more like the perfect wife every day. It makes me want to devour you even more." Emanuele stroked Isabella's back gently.

Isabella moved away from him. "Stop fooling around! I'm going shopping with Evelyn later."

Since Chloe died, Emanuele noticed that Isabella seemed much more relaxed than before. He had worried that killing Chloe might have traumatized her, but it seemed not at all now that he saw how calm she was about everything - as if being married into the Mafia world had made it easier for her somehow.

He let go of Isabella then picked up one of the sandwiches she brought him – fresh out of an oven with perfect blend of meat, egg and cheese filling – taking a bite while closing his eyes in enjoyment.

Isabelle watched as he savored every bite before asking playfully: "Is it good?"

Emanuel nodded approvingly.

"You enjoy your meal as you want; I won't be home for dinner tonight because I'm having dinner with Evelyn and Pippo."

Pippo returned today so they decided on having dinner together - just three old friends catching up after years apart.

"Did you bring me afternoon tea because you didn't want to eat dinner with me?" Emanuele hugged Isabella, as if he didn't want her to leave. This girl was playing mind games with him now.

"Yes," Isabella laughed and planted a kiss on Emanuele's cheek. "Don't worry, I'll be home early."

"I hope you keep your word," Emanuele let go of Isabella.

Although he wanted Isabella to stay at home, he couldn't deprive her of the right to see her friends. He could feel that she was getting depressed from being cooped up in the apartment all the time.

Now that he knew she was taking medication for emotional issues, he couldn't do anything that would upset her further. It would be good for her to go out and meet friends and relax.

After Isabella left, Phillip walked into the office and said to Emanuele: "Boss, we just found out where Frederick's granddaughter is located. We should be able to find her soon enough. But she probably changed her name so it might take some time."

"What about his son or nephew?"

"They've been following him, but can't find Frederick's whereabouts or theirs either."

Emanuele nodded in understanding. But since they had already narrowed down his granddaughter's location, it was a good start.

Phillip noticed the lunch box from earlier on Emanuele's desk and asked: "Boss, when did you start using such cute lunch boxes? Look at all these cartoon patterns on them."

Emanuele's face darkened instantly at Phillip's teasing remark.
