Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

“I feel very comfortable and calm,” Isabella replied.

Emanuele tightly held Isabella’s hand. “We should come here often in the future, okay? As long as my work isn’t too busy, I’ll accompany you.”

“Okay,” Isabella nodded.

She felt that going out for a walk was much better than staying inside the room. Previously, she didn’t want to leave the room, feeling that it was all meaningless, but now, coming out to this forest park, looking at these lush, vibrant plants, breathing the fresh air, she felt as if she was slowly coming back to life.

She felt the sadness slowly leaving her. She knew she had to be strong. Whatever the reason her daughter left for, she had already left. Those who are alive, still have to live with hope.

Emanuele looked at Isabella and saw some of the sadness dissipating from her eyes, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seems taking Isabella out for a change was beneficial.

They strolled around the park and before they knew it, it was already noon. Emanuele drove Isabella back to the city and they had lunch at a French restaurant.

The restaurant was upscale, the entire building was like a luxurious estate. Outside, there was a huge garden filled with colorful tulips and lush green plants. In the middle of the building, there was a grand fountain that looked quite magnificent.

Furthermore, the restaurant was exclusive, requiring advance reservations to dine there. It was lunchtime and the restaurant was quite busy. After Emanuele showed the reservation message, the waiter respectfully led them into the restaurant.

The facade of the restaurant was full of French charm, even the ceiling was adorned with romantic oil paintings. Crystal chandeliers illuminated the entire restaurant, making it look grand and magnificent.

Emanuele and Isabella sat by the window, Emanuele ordered the food, and soon the dishes were brought to the table. Isabella looked at these exquisite and delicious dishes, knowing that each dish was very expensive.

If she were still the ordinary person she used to be, one dish here would probably cost her a month’s salary. But now, as Emanuele’s wife, for Emanuele, dining at this kind of restaurant was equivalent to her previous expenses at a regular fast-food restaurant.

Being Emanuele’s woman, she gained a lot, but of course, she also lost a lot.

As Isabella enjoyed these delicious delicacies and drank expensive wine with Emanuele, many thoughts swirled in her mind.

“Isabella, how do you find the cuisine in this restaurant?”

“Delicious,” Isabella said, “I have never tasted such authentic French cuisine before.”

“If you like it, we can fly directly to France another day, where you can enjoy even more authentic cuisine there.”

“Or should we go to Italy to see Grazia? She always tells me how much she misses you. I know you must miss her too.”

Isabella did indeed miss Grazia. Thinking about Grazia about to give birth, they had once said they wanted their two children to become the best of siblings. But now, her daughter was gone. However, Isabella still felt happy for Grazia about to become a mother.

Seeing Isabella’s expression, Emanuele suddenly realized that his words might have touched Isabella’s inner wound. Damn it, Isabella would probably think about Grazia’s unborn child and then think about her own daughter.

Emanuele was very worried that Isabella would be saddened again, but fortunately, Isabella quickly said, “I want to go see Grazia, but I think it’s better to wait until after she gives birth. If I go to find her now, she will definitely keep comforting me. She has such strong empathy; I don’t want her to be saddened by me.”

Hearing Isabella’s words, at that moment, he felt as if he had suffered a huge shock. His body involuntarily stiffened, and his pupils trembled.

He was shocked by Isabella’s beauty. She had completely stunned him with her goodness. Isabella was thinking this way! Even when she was so sad, she was still thinking of others.

Oh God, he was a ruthless demon in hell, disregarding life, but his Isabella was so kind, like an angel saving humanity. Yet, he selfishly and cruelly dragged the angel into hell.

Before, Emanuele felt that as long as he wanted something, he could have it by his side, no matter what the other person thought. But now, he felt that he had to strive to create a paradise in hell, to let Isabella live happily.

He had to do this, to absolve himself, to cleanse his business chain; this was the task he needed to accomplish as soon as possible. He did not want Isabella to keep facing danger. Although William was already dead, dark places still held some unseen dangers. He had to protect Isabella.

After they finished their meal, Emanuele took Isabella to the mall to pick out jewelry. Seeing those expensive jewels shimmering under the lights was quite enchanting. No woman could resist such magnificent jewelry, but Isabella felt she didn’t need such extravagant jewelry. She would go back to work eventually, and wearing such jewelry would be too ostentatious.

In the end, she shook her head. “I think I don’t need these. Some daily styles will suffice.”

“Isabella, there’s an event next week that you need to attend, so I think you need some jewelry,” Emanuele insisted.

“An event next week? Can I choose not to attend?” Isabella wanted to refuse. She felt she didn’t fit well into Emanuele’s social circles. She would mess things up.

“No, Isabella, you are my wife now. We are married. If you don’t attend the event, what will others think? Isabella, relax, come with me to the event.”

Looking at Emanuele’s pleading eyes, she eventually agreed. She was Emanuele’s wife now, and attending such events was also her responsibility.

Emanuele helped Isabella pick out jewelry. He picked out a sapphire necklace for her to try on, and she immediately fell in love with it.

“Isabella, do you notice? Blue suits you exceptionally well. This color seems to be made for you,” Emanuele praised Isabella.

He then spotted a bracelet also adorned with sapphires and had the shop assistant bring it over for Isabella to try on. She ended up keeping it on her wrist without removing it, mesmerized by the sparkling sapphires.

Looking at the sparkling sapphire bracelet on her wrist, Isabella felt a bit helpless. But it was indeed very beautiful.

“Alright, Isabella, you want something for daily wear. You pick now,” Emanuele kissed Isabella on the cheek and let her make her selection.

He then handed her two sets of diamond necklaces. “These are your reward for breakfast, as I promised you a reward.”

Emanuele’s lavish spending shocked Isabella.

“Emanuele, how much money do you have? You’re buying so much…”

“Don’t worry about the money. Buying out this jewelry store is not a problem.”
