Undressed By The Mafia God novel Chapter 552

Chapter 552: One Bag Of Seeds

He bent and kissed her hair. "One minute."

"Fine," Vee grumbled.

Luca chuckled and walked towards the seed vendor, but his eyes never fully left his wife and Matteo. "One bag of seeds, please."

The vendor handed one over. Luca reached for his wallet, and that was when he noticed the patrol vehicle parked near the curb.

Two officers were inside. Their attention was not on the road. Not on the park in general. Their eyes were locked on the bench where Vee sat with Matteo.

Luca smiled. Another little kindness from Valentina’s panic. How stupid could one little girl be? At this point, she did not even need help exposing herself to her sister. She was practically building the gallows. Val must have panicked the second he left with the child.

That amused him. Valentina was afraid he would hurt Matteo, his own nephew, not by blood but still. Marco considered the baby his, Vee adored the child. Did the girl not know him at all? Yes, he may have sounded a bit threatening at the house but God...

He really thought the girl would consider the fragility of her sister’s situation and at least back down. Vee was pregnant. Happy. Any sister with sense would have kept the peace until the child inside Veronica was stronger or at least born.

But it seemed Valentina had chosen to continue. If Valentina thought he would deliver the news of her treachery to Vee while she was pregnant and still healing, then she was delusional.

He handed the cash to the vendor and picked up the bag of seeds. The patrol officers were still watching. He headed back to Vee and sat down beside her, opening the bag. "I want to say you have weird hobbies," Vee said, watching the doves waddle closer with shameless interest, "but then I find it cute."

Luca paused with his hand inside the paper bag of seeds. His head turned slowly. "Any other word but cute, please...You make me sound like Matteo."

Vee looked at Matteo, who was currently smacking the tray of his walker with both palms, absolutely thrilled by the existence of birds. Then she looked back at Luca.

"Adorable?"

"God, no."

"Soft-hearted?"

"Will you just stop?!"

"Animal-loving mafia boss?"

"That sounds like a headline."

Vee smiled. The same man who would burn a city for her could not walk past hungry animals without feeding them.

That tenderness would always be the hope she clung to. It proved there were pieces of Luca untouched by the darkness around him.

He threw a few seeds onto the ground. The doves came quickly. Within seconds, they were surrounded by bold little creatures with bobbing heads. Matteo let out a delighted squeal, kicking his legs against the walker.

Vee looked down at the doves as they gathered around the bench, pecking at seeds and shuffling over one another. The smell of food from a nearby cart drifted across the path, and her stomach chose that moment to growl.

His eyes flicked to her stomach with instant concern. "Hungry?"

"I’m not sure but I have been eating a lot in bits and pieces." She stood carefully. "Would you watch the baby? I want to get a hot dog."

He nodded. "Go."
