The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260

“Alright,” Elena agreed, “good night for today. But just know I’m ready to take up my role as a proper wife–as long as I get to see more of you.”

Did he catch her meaning? Elena wasn’t sure. It’s hard to gauge the feelings of someone you can’t see.

“Good night, Elena,” Max finally said.

Massimo was up late in his office. He couldn’t stop thinking about his kiss with Elena.

She had initiated it! And she had moved so hungrily, so greedily… It was like she wanted to kiss every last inch of him.

Then there was the matter of her goodbye. She had so coyly promised to be a “proper wife“-on the condition that she saw more of him.

The only problem was the second Elena saw Massimo’s face, she’d want to break up. She said it herself–she would never date a mafia man.

Was there a way to move along Elena’s relationship with “Max” witho

exposing his real identity?

Massimo sighed. He turned on his computer and checked a few dating sites. Their advice had helped before–why not now?

Massimo scanned through all the results. One answer in particular stood out to him. It might be risky, but it could pay off…

Elena stifled a yawn. She was doing her best to appear prim and proper at the all women tea party. Luckily Lucilla and Jill were dominating the conversations like always–Elena was too tired to provide more than a few words of agreement here and there.

Lucilla glared at Elena. “Are you not getting enough sleep? Those preparations for the winter hunting party must be brutal.”

“We’re… managing,” Elena replied evenly. While it was true that work wasn’t the reason for her current lack of sleep, there was still quite a lot of work left to be done. Elena was sure the party preparation would be causing her plenty of stress and a distinct lack of sleep in the near future.

“Bullshit,” Lucilla replied. “There’s got to be a better way of doing all that party planning.”

Jill smiled behind her tea cup. “You could always assign each family a task,” she suggested. “It could even be a nice way to play to each family’s strengths–let them show off a little.”

“Now that’s a great idea, Jill,” Lucilla said.

“Indeed,” Amelia agreed. “My family could provide wine for instance–and Lucilla, your family has that wonderful textile mill, yes? You could handle banners for the old hall.”

“And Jill, your husband could provide flower arrangements!”

“Tracy, doesn’t your brother employ some wonderful chefs?”

“We could handle the lighting!”

Pretty soon the women were all talking over each other with their ideas. Elena smiled at the sight. Jill’s idea had brought everyone together and gotten them excited.

This could definitely still show the might of the Ferraro family but also make a clear symbol of unity. Everyone would be working together for the Ferraro’s sake, firmly establishing Massimo as the one and only Mafia King.

“It’s a brilliant idea,” Elena said. “But I can’t agree to anything without my husband’s approval.”

As all the ladies‘ faces dropped, Elena hastily tacked on, “But I promise I’ll ask about it right away! For now, why don’t we get back to talking about Tracy’s latest party…

Elena did just that. She did her best to recount the ladies‘ enthusiasm, the obvious benefits, and the symbolism that such an action would provide.

“So, in conclusion, that’s the idea,” Elena finished.

Massimo frowned as he thought. “It’s a good idea,” he said, “but it won’t necessarily save us work. Now we have to plan who gets what responsibility and make sure they perform up to our standards.”

“When has hard work scared either of us?” Elena shot back with a smile.

Massimo grinned back at her. “Alright, then let’s split this evenly. You mobilize the women and I’ll handle the men.”

“Sounds good to me,” Elena replied.

At that moment, it really felt like she was Massimo’s equal. They were truly the Mafia King and Queen working together to unite their people.
