In His Grasp: A Mafia Romance novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Does He Truly Like Her?

Emanuele appeared extremely irritable at this moment, and his frustrated expression successfully dissuaded Grazia from continuing to hand clothes to Isabella.

While Grazia had a more easygoing personality and didn't mind certain details, Emanuele's frequent breakdowns made it clear to her what kind of fashion he disliked. He disapproved of outfits that revealed too much skin-whether it was cleavage, a bare midriff, or a hint of a bottom. Anything that tightly covered Isabella's body, regardless of its visual appeal, earned his approval.

Emanuele's possessiveness towards Isabella was truly overpowering, which surprised Grazia.

"Emanuele, why are you so concerned about your wife's clothing? It seems like you genuinely like her," Grazia teased.

Even though Grazia was sure Emanuele wouldn't just marry anyone, there was no way for Isabella to know this. She believed Emanuele didn't truly love her. Seeing Isabella's slightly puzzled expression during their conversations, Grazia sensed that Isabella still didn't understand her husband deeply enough. They were married, yet their trust in one another wasn't as deep as it should be, which was a frustrating issue.

Grazia genuinely hoped that Isabella could bring happiness to Emanuele. So, she couldn't help but give Emanuele a nudge, hoping that he would be straightforward about his feelings and let Isabella see his true affections.

However, Emanuele glanced at Isabella and stated, "What liking or not liking? She's my wife now, the Queen of the Mafia. Her image represents my image. If she dresses inappropriately, it only embarrasses me."

Inwardly, Grazia shouted, "Oh, dear God! Why did Emanuele say that?"

As expected, after Isabella heard Emanuele's words, her expression turned cold, her smile shattered, and she looked like a puppy drenched in the rain.

"Don't worry, I will fulfill my role as the Mafia Queen. You don't need to teach me," Isabella instructed the staff to take their selected clothes into the dressing room for preparation.

It was only Emanuele and Grazia left in the living room.

"My dear brother, why can't you say a few sweet words? Isabella is actually easy to please. Just say some affectionate words, and she'll be happy," Grazia sighed.

"I've given her so much material comfort, making her live in the most comfortable and luxurious house. Isn't she happy?" Emanuele didn't understand.

"You really don't understand women. Women need the emotional value of a man!" Grazia shook her head. "Well, your affairs, I don't want to meddle too much."

Initially, it was already a shock for Grazia when Emanuele married Isabella. She hadn't yet had time to digest it, and she didn't know how to push their relationship forward.

Since it was Emanuele who willingly married Isabella, let him handle it himself.

Two hours later, Isabella emerged from the dressing room. She looked at Grazia and asked, "Shall we have dinner together?"

"Sure! I haven't tasted Lilly's cooking in a long time, and I miss her desserts after dinner," Grazia said, looking at Lilly.

"Okay, I'll prepare your favorite blueberry cake," Lilly replied.

Isabella then went to the kitchen with Lilly to discuss the menu. Afterward, she left the living room and joined Grazia on the couch, pulling up her favorite TV show to share with Grazia.

"This is my favorite male guest. Look at him, isn't he handsome? How tall and well-built he is," Isabella pointed at the TV, indicating a man in his thirties with a tan complexion.
