My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523: You Want A Child With Me?

The Di Carpio family had fallen, but the affairs of the underground world were far from over.

Even so, Dominion wouldn’t deprive itself of a moment to breathe after resolving one problem.

Ashley, especially, had more personal matters to handle.

The moment she stepped out of Scott’s ward, the door slid shut behind her. She turned her head and spotted Lucian talking on the phone.

As though sensing her presence, Lucian looked in her direction and caught the brightness in her eyes.

"Send them to me later," he said before hanging up.

He strode toward his wife, slipping his phone back into his pocket. Instead of speaking immediately, he studied her expression.

"Did he answer?" he asked, watching the corners of her mouth curve into a slow smile.

That alone was enough for him to know that Scott had finally given her the truth.

"Lucian," she called softly, reaching for him.

Her arms wrapped around his frame as she rested her head against his chest. The smile that had appeared on her face seemed permanently cemented there.

Lucian’s expression softened as he embraced her and planted a gentle kiss on the top of her head.

"I’m glad for you," he whispered, releasing a deep breath as the tension left his shoulders.

Of course, they still had other problems to resolve.

Memphis was still out there, and his plans remained in motion. There were also others who wanted to bring down Dominion and threaten the peace they had been fighting to achieve.

But all of that could wait.

When the couple finally released each other, Ashley’s smile had already grown into a grin. Lucian lightly pinched her cheek.

"Happy?" he asked.

She nodded enthusiastically. "I wonder what Auntie Liza will say. I’m excited and nervous at the same time."

Lucian hummed and looked up, imagining Liza’s reaction. The thought made him smile before he returned his gaze to Ashley.

"She’ll be happy," he assured her.

"Hopefully." Ashley pursed her lips. "Although... it’s kind of awkward."

His brows rose, but Ashley didn’t elaborate. Lucian could only observe the subtle changes flickering across her face.

Meanwhile, Ashley was mentally practicing how to address Tommy. Should she call him Dad or Father? Either one felt awkward on her tongue, and every time she tried, she ended up falling back on what she had always called him.

Well, she had never truly called anyone Dad for most of her life.

As a child, she had called Marshal that, but she quickly learned she wasn’t allowed to.

"Damn it," she hissed, scratching her temple. "Why am I so weird?"

"Adjusting to change can feel strange," Lucian said as she looked up at him. "You know them. They’ll wait until you’re ready, so don’t rush yourself."

"Right?" Ashley chuckled and hugged his side. "Lucian, once we’re home, let’s..."

She trailed off when a thought suddenly crossed her mind.

Lucian raised his brows and studied her expression. Mistaking her hesitation for something else, he smiled in satisfaction.

He nodded. "We’ll ask them to babysit Primo."

At the same time, Ashley blurted out, "Let’s take Primo out on a date."
