In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Want to Strangle Isabella

Although Clark is a playboy, for women he hasn't conquered yet, he can't help but think about them from time to time. During this period, he occasionally found himself thinking about Isabella.

This feeling of not having succeeded yet scratches at Clark's heart and lungs.

Upon hearing Clark's question, Isabella glanced at the two people on the stage.

"Do you know Rocco too?"

"Of course, we're friends."

"Do you think he will treat Grazia well?"

"Don't worry about that. Rocco, even if ruthless in dealing with arms trafficking, notorious for his methods, is, in general, a good friend and even better to his woman. Besides, Grazia is Emanuele's only sister. Even for Emanuele's sake, Rocco would never harm Grazia."

Clark finally understood. So, the reason Isabella had a fight with Emanuele was about this.

"Will he love her?" Isabella suddenly threw out this question.

Hearing Isabella's words, Clark paused.

He didn't expect Isabella to ask such a question. Yet, her gaze was so sincere, with a sparkle of truth. It seemed she was genuinely asking.

While marveling at the girl's innocence, Clark also felt a hint of admiration. He didn't expect Isabella, who had been married to Emanuele for so long, to retain such innocence.

Such innocence is rare in the world of the mafia, making one unable to resist the urge to protect her.

"Isabella, I think love is a luxury, not something everyone can have. Grazia had it before, and she should be satisfied with that."

Isabella sighed and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Emanuele returned and, seeing Isabella talking to Clark, his face instantly turned cold.

He thought about the time when he played matchmaker between Clark and Isabella.

Although he ultimately prevented them, it was apparent that Clark liked Isabella. Even if it was more due to his playboy nature, it still made Emanuele a bit nervous facing Clark.

Of course, regret filled Emanuele's heart. If it weren't for him treating Isabella as a gift, introducing her to the cleric, letting them all know Isabella... Isabella wouldn't have been chosen by Clark.

He had been trying to set them up, although he had sensed the conflict within himself back then...

Now, recalling these past events, regret pounded on Emanuele's heart like waves.

Fortunately, he made the right decision at the wedding, snatching Isabella back. Otherwise, as Phillip said, he might have regretted it for a lifetime.

Emanuele walked to Isabella's side, his hand around her waist, pulling her into his arms as if declaring his sovereignty.

"What are you talking about?" He looked at Isabella, then glanced at Clark.

That look! Clark saw Emanuele's wariness and couldn't help but think, did Emanuele believe his appearance was a threat to claim Isabella?

Although he regretted not getting Isabella, he chose friendship over a woman. He never lacked women, in the past, and still not now.

"Just catching up with Isabella. It's been a while since the wedding," Clark chuckled.

"Catching up?" Emanuele looked down at Isabella, seeming to ask her.

Isabella nodded.

"The banquet is almost over, Isabella, you don't look too well. Let's leave early," Emanuele said, looking at Clark, "I'll find some time to meet up with you."
