My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287: Not Worried

[New Dominion Neighborhood]

Nolan served food to Primo, studying the young master’s mood. Primo took his plate and ate, his reaction hard to read. He glanced to his side, where Betty stood, and the latter looked back at him with conflicted emotions.

"Young Master," called Nolan, but Primo continued to scoop a spoonful. "Do you want anything else?"

Primo didn’t react. He simply ate.

Another deep exhale escaped Nolan as he quietly dragged a chair to sit down.

Earlier at school, Nolan didn’t know what had actually occurred.

All he knew was that he had been told to take Primo home because something had happened. What was it? Nolan didn’t know until a little later, when he received a call from Gin about Lucian’s collapse.

"Young Master," Betty hummed as she moved closer to the table. "The Madam might come a little late, but Nolan and I will stay with you. So, don’t worry."

Primo’s cutlery paused, making both Betty and Nolan freeze. Then, he slowly looked up at them.

[I’m not worried.]

Nolan and Betty furrowed their brows. Nolan could understand him, but Betty was just learning sign language in her spare time before coming here. After all, she wanted to communicate with her madam’s son as well because Primo was Ashley’s number one worry.

[I know there’s a reason for everything, and they’ll be home eventually.]

Primo smiled at them subtly.

[I am okay, Betty, Nolan. Thank you.]

For a second, Nolan and Betty could only stare at the young master with a mix of surprise and confusion. Part of them wasn’t sure if that should reassure them or worry them more.

But Primo continued eating like usual.

As he did so, he heard a faint motor noise outside. He perked up a little and turned his head toward the entrance.

Soon, they all saw the door opening.

Walking in was Ashley... with a smile on her face.

"Primo, I’m home!" she announced, quickly spotting Primo.

Primo blinked, staring at her expression for a little too long. Even as Ashley advanced in his direction, his gaze stayed on her face. It took him a moment before the tension in his shoulders dissipated, and a smile took over his expression.

"Wow, you’re eating now?" Ashley stood near his seat, looking at his plate before looking at the boy. "Good job, Primo."

She reached for his hair and ruffled it.

[It’s good.]

"Is it?" she hummed, tilting her head.

Meanwhile, Nolan and Betty quietly studied her, a little surprised. They did not expect her to be more cheerful, considering Lucian was in the hospital. It made them wonder if the situation was not as serious as they thought; they couldn’t tell.

"Ah!" Betty cleared her throat as she perked up. "Madam, have you eaten?"

Hearing that snapped Nolan back to the present. "I’ll get you a plate."

"Thanks," Ashley smiled at them as Nolan walked back to the kitchen while Betty followed after him. "You guys should join us."

As they left, she dragged a chair and sat down beside Primo. The moment she did, Primo moved his hands.

[Is everything okay?]

[Is he okay?]

[Okay!]

[It’s only a concert arranged by the older students.]

Primo smiled and nodded. [Let’s take a video to show Papa once he’s back.]
