Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 628

Chapter 628 Indecent Way
“Hi!” I greeted with a warm smile as I stepped into Austin's room.

“Hi, Selena!” Blair replied with her smile just as warm-hearted as I remembered. A sense of relief washed over me—she hadn’t changed.

I glanced at Austin, who was still cuddled in her arms, and hesitated, silently asking through my eyes if I could come closer. My heart ached at the bittersweet moment—I had to ask for permission to be near my own son. Such a cruel twist of fate.

Blair nodded with an encouraging smile, and I moved toward Austin.

“Hey, baby boy,” I whispered softly, brushing my fingers through his hair.

He stirred, lifting his head and blinking up at me with sleepy eyes. “Ready for school?” I asked gently, smiling at him.

“No, I still have to get ready,” he said, his lips forming an adorable pout.

“Aww, then let’s get started, honey,” I said, scooping him up from Blair’s arms. To my immense relief, he didn’t protest. My son—he must have felt his mother’s love, as deep and unconditional as ever.

I carried him to the bathroom, helping him brush his teeth and take a shower. His laughter and chatter filled the small space, and I cherished every moment. When we finally stepped out, I noticed Blair had left, but she had thoughtfully laid out Austin’s clothes and shoes near the bed.

I lifted Austin, letting him stand on the bed as I carefully applied body lotion to his small arms and legs. Then, I helped him into his clothes and shoes, taking my time to ensure he looked tidy. After combing his hair neatly, we left his room and made our way to the breakfast table.

When we arrived, I found my father, his wife, and my half-sister, Anne, already seated there, engaged in conversation with Zander’s mother. As their eyes fell on me, the expressions on their faces instantly soured. It was a familiar reaction. Everything had changed, but Zander’s mother’s reaction to me remained the same, even though she didn’t remember me. She had always hated me, and that hatred hadn't faded. As for my father, he had never loved me, and neither had my stepmother. But now, the hatred in their eyes was unmistakable, and it was clear they saw me as a rival to their daughter, Anne, because I was Zander’s mate.

“Austin, come here,” Zander’s mother called softly, and Austin immediately ran toward her, happily taking a seat beside her. I sighed helplessly, my thoughts interrupted as I noticed Maddox and Blair entering together, hand in hand. Mates were supposed to be inseparable, always close to each other, unable to keep their hands off one another.
