The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife novel Chapter 392

The main course of the dinner dragged on—and with it came a slight change in the Winslow family's approach. Elena had given up on asking any questions about Noah's immediate family or their company, and Sloane had also decided to focus on her meal rather than keeping the conversation afloat. For a few refreshing minutes, the table was silent save for the sounds of cutlery hitting fine china plates or the splash of wine glasses being refilled.

Then, Mrs. Winslow took a long sip of her red wine and glanced over the rim of the glass at Elena. "So, darling, where exactly are you from?"

Elena was surprised that she was actually being addressed for once—and by Mrs. Winslow no less. "New York, ma'am," she replied.

"Where exactly?"

"New York City."

"Fascinating," Mrs. Winslow replied with a glint in her eyes. "How far were you from the financial district? And how long did you live there exactly?"

The atmosphere changed then. It was more similar to when they had just sat down at the table and all the Winslows had started interrogating Noah—only this time, Elena was the at the center of their attention. Questions popped up from all sides.

"What medical school did you attend? What year did you graduate? And what was your GPA?"

"What type of doctor are you again? What kind of patients do you see?"

"What were your living arrangements like in New York? Why did you leave?"

No sooner had Elena answered one question that three more were asked, all in rapid succession. Elena did her best to be truthful, but she also didn't want to bring up her mafia ties. It was dizzying to keep up with all the questions and provide satisfactory answers that didn't give her criminal ties away.

"I worked at St. Camillus Hospital for a while until I was offered a position as a family's private physician," Elena had told them, careful to not mention the Ferraro name. "I later became a live-in doctor for that family."

It wasn't a lie—explaining the details of moving in to her mafia boss' estate would be too complicated and damning though.

But conversation got even more personal as Kevin asked question after question about Elena's family life. Again, Elena tried to be as truthful as possible but it was like the man was trying to catch her in a lie.
