Second chance for the Mafia prince (January and Gulliver) novel Chapter 250

< Second Chance for the Mafia Prince

Sacrifice or Selfish Part II

By the time she felt her heartbeat settling into a normal rhythm, January realized she was more than halfway to Burlington. Her fingers were still clenched tight around the steering wheel, and she was no longer fighting the angry tears which had streamed down her face from the time she’d peeled out of her parents‘ driveway.

She let out a shaky breath and sniffed angrily when she shot a glance sideways at the phone which was buzzing on her passenger seat. She was expecting her father to call but it was Gulliver’s number on the display.

“Hello?” she answered with a sniff.

“January? Are you crying?”

“No.” Not anymore. She bit her bottom lip.

“What’s wrong, my love?”

“I’m not your love.”

“We’ve been over this. I’m not your love. You are mine.” A trace of humor coated his words. “What is going on?”

“Just had another spectacular fight with my mother. Seriously. I think my father needs to take her in her for a brain scan because

“Did she give you a hard time?”

“No but she barely spoke to me.”

“I’m sorry. Today she gave me shit for not taking you back so that she wouldn’t have to miss weekends with Kaylee.”

“The fuck?”

“Yeah.”

“The brain scan sounds right. You should suggest it to your

father.”

She chuckled at his words. “What were you calling for?”

“Well, two things.”

“Two things?”

“Yes. The first is that I got your text about how you love the house. I can get a home inspection done for you and then we can purchase it for you if there are no serious issues. If there are significant issues, if the house makes you happy and they are fixable we can negotiate pricing and then get it fixed the way you need.”

“Really?”

“Well, I wanted to ask if I could keep Kaylee overnight, but you sound pretty upset. I am sure you are missing her.”

She gave a laugh, “do you want to know something stupid?”

“Sure.”

“My first instinct was to drive to where she is to get a Kaylee hug. She always makes me feel better. I was coming to my senses to realize I can’t go get a hug from her but I’m about twenty minutes from Burlington. I’ll be content to breathe her air from a distance I guess.” She wiped an angry tear off her cheek.

“Why don’t you come join us then?”

“I don’t want to intrude.” She shook her head. “You deserve your time with her Gulliver. This was part of the argument I had with Mom. I need to learn to occupy my time when she is on your time. If she is wanting to do a sleepover, I’m okay with it. I trust you with her Gulliver. I’ll just go for dinner in Burlington on my own and then drive back later. Your poor security team is going to be worn out by the time I’m done.”

“Hey, listen to me, you do what you need to do but why don’t you come join us. I mean it. My grandfather has said to me about twenty times today how much he wished you were here so he could apologize. Kaylee has said more than once she couldn’t wait for Mitsos to meet her mom. Also, on that note, Mitsos told beshe didn’t have a mom, and she offered you up as a pare’6:23

“Yeah. I have a feeling I know why Darwin is so intent on having her for a real sister. I think she’s offering your services as mom to her motherless friends.”

She giggled, “oh my god Kaylee!”

“Thisbe is here as well. She mentioned a couple of times she owes you an apology and wants to see you. Glenn never did get to meet you in person. Ford is here too. He said something about shooting his shot since you’re about the dating life now.”

She laughed this time as his words made her laugh.

“Come join us. We’ll have dinner together and then if you need some time alone, we’ll put you up in your own room for the night.”

“Are you sure I’m not intruding?”

“Hold on,” she could hear him fumbling with his phone and then the full sound of the room he was in buzzed in her ear. He then hollered out to the people in the room, “hey, I have January on the phone. Any objections to her joining us for the night?”

“Yay!” Kaylee screamed.

“Yes please!” Thisbe’s voice carried out.
