My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 541

Chapter 541: Not To Be The Biggest Idiot

Days later...

Ashley crouched to Primo’s eye level.

"Have fun at school, okay?" She held his little hand while her other hand stroked his hair.

Primo smiled and nodded.

"See you later?" she hummed. "Mommy’s gonna pick you up today. Once the school bell rings, I’ll be right here."

His smile broadened as he watched Ashley straighten.

With that, Primo jogged toward the school gates while Ashley watched him. She waved and smiled when he glanced back at her.

"Gosh. He’s so adorable," she mumbled to herself, her eyes softening.

Despite everything brewing behind the scenes, Primo’s life had remained normal.

Or at least, that was what she wanted to believe.

She straightened, her smile fading slightly.

"He’s gonna be okay," she whispered to herself. "We managed to get through everything without affecting our boy. We’ll be okay."

Ashley drew a deep breath and forced herself to smile.

Perhaps the biggest consolation after everything that had happened was knowing she could go home and see that her son was doing well. Despite all the deaths and violence she and Lucian had gotten themselves into, they could still return to a peaceful home where their child was safe.

With that, Ashley turned on her heel and headed toward where her bike was parked.

As she walked away, she pulled out her phone and saw a missed call from Emma—Primo’s biological mother.

"Right," she whispered to herself. "I haven’t checked in on her."

It had been a crazy month, and even though Emma could now communicate with Primo directly, she still liked to keep in touch with Ashley. Their relationship wasn’t what Ashley would call close, but they were doing their best for Primo’s sake.

Just as Ashley was about to call her back, a light honk came from her side.

Turning her head, she spotted Raka’s van.

Raka stepped out, his eyes immediately landing on her. Unlike usual, he only briefly saw his son, Sammy, off before turning his attention back to Ashley.

The two held each other’s gaze for a moment before he finally approached her.

After everything that happened during Marshal’s downfall, Lucian had sent Raka home with bodyguards to make sure he and his son remained safe.

Raka being taken hostage was something Lucian and Ashley couldn’t afford to dismiss. They believed he had been abducted and dragged into their mess because of his connection to Lucian.

Aside from the fact that they both considered Raka a friend, he was also the doctor in charge of Lucian’s treatment.

Although, technically, Lucian’s treatment was nearing its end now that his latest lab results had come back clear.

Now seated across from each other in a nearby café, Ashley quietly studied him.

"How have you been?" she asked. "It’s been a crazy month, so I didn’t get the chance to check in on you."

She knew Lucian had kept in touch with him, though.

"Fine." Raka reached for his tea and took a sip. His face immediately scrunched up. "This tastes horrible."

He glared at the cup as if it had personally offended him.

He had grown accustomed to drinking the tea Ashley had given him at home.

She chuckled. "Do you still have some left? I can send you another batch if you want."

"It’s fine. I still have a ton of it." He waved her off. "Anyway, I haven’t seen either of you in a while, and your husband hasn’t come to my office since his last lab work."

"He’s busy," was all Ashley could tell him. "But he always thinks of you."

"Do you honestly think I believe you guys went there just to save me?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
