Undressed By The Mafia God novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455: I Just Got Back Too

The moment Val spotted her, her face lit up.

"Vee!"

"Oh my God," Vee breathed.

Val hurried as much as a heavily pregnant woman could hurry, which was less of a run and more of a determined waddle. Vee met her halfway, and the second Val reached her, she threw herself into her sister’s arms.

Vee held on tightly, kissed her face once, then again, then pulled back only to kiss her cheek a third time. "Oh, look at you." Her eyes dropped to Val’s stomach, widening. "You look very ready to pop."

Val laughed, breathless and bright. "They almost didn’t let me on the flight back."

"You look like you could give birth anytime soon."

"I swear this baby already thinks my ribs are a vacation home."

Vee’s face softened. "Oh, I missed you so much." She hugged her again.

"I just got back too, you know," Marco said from behind them.

Vee pulled back from Val and turned, as if she had only just remembered luggage and husbands existed.

Marco stood a few steps away, holding two suitcases and looking unfairly handsome.

"Oh, I’m so sorry," Vee said quickly, moving toward him. "Come here." She pulled Marco into a hug, then immediately froze. "Oh wow..." Her hands pressed against his arms. "I did not realise you were this buff. Oh my..."

Marco chuckled. "Good to see you too, Vee."

"He’s still my husband," Val called.

"Great job," Vee said, then winked at Val. "You married well."

Marco shook his head, but he was smiling as they reached Vee’s car. It was parked close enough to the exit. Val had reached that stage of pregnancy where walking long distances seemed like a personal attack.

They all gathered into the car. The airport noise faded behind them once the doors shut. Marco glanced at the driver.

Marco looked at Vee. "New guard?"

Vee’s smile thinned slightly. "Yeah... long story."

They pulled away from the airport, joining the traffic. Val leaned back with a long sigh, her palm resting over her belly.

"Oh, it’s good to be home," she said.

Vee looked at her sister’s face, the softness there, the tired joy.

Val turned her head. "How are things at the shop?"

Vee gave a small smile. "Everything is going smoothly. The yellow tape is gone, and Tony is back to working on the construction."

Val smiled, but it faded a little as another thought settled between them. She rubbed slow circles over her stomach. "And... uhm... Ricardo?"

Vee reached for Val’s hand and squeezed it. "Whenever you are ready, sweetie. Luca spoke with his mother. He asked her to be patient until you return."
