Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Just like Grazia, Rocco was also very excited. At 42 years old, he finally had his own child.

Isabella watched as Rocco carefully held the child in his arms. Seeing the happiness on Grazia and Rocco’s faces, she was genuinely happy for Grazia.

However, she was worried about Emanuele not answering his phone.

Isabella messaged Phillip, unsure when he would reply.

In truth, Isabella knew that if Emanuele was on a mission, his phone would usually be turned off. He would focus on completing his task before checking his phone.

She didn’t know if Emanuele’s lack of response meant he was on a mission.

If he had found the enemy and was about to destroy them, he definitely couldn’t be distracted by a phone call.

Rocco held the child, watching the peaceful sleeping face. He planned to take a few days off to be with his wife and child.

Seeing the harmonious scene between Rocco and Grazia, Isabella walked out.

She couldn’t let Grazia see her worried expression, or else Grazia would surely worry too.

She had only just become the happiest person in the world, and she believed Grazia’s happiness should last.

Isabella felt that she might be far from happiness now, but she hoped Grazia could always be happy.

Isabella walked to the edge of the hospital corridor, staring out the window lost in thought.

Rocco walked out of the ward and saw Isabella, noticing her worried expression as she glanced at her phone from time to time. Unable to hold back, Rocco asked, “Isabella, what’s wrong? Has something happened to Emanuele?”

He was also worried about Emanuele. He had offered Emanuele help and was willing to send his men to Chicago. However, because Grazia was about to give birth, he couldn’t go himself. Nevertheless, his subordinates were all capable and could assist Emanuele.

But Emanuele had refused his offer, believing he could handle it on his own.

“I can’t reach Emanuele on the phone,” Isabella said.

“Maybe Emanuele’s busy. How long has it been?”

“Three hours.”

From before Grazia gave birth to now, Emanuele still hadn’t seen her messages.

“Isabella, relax. Emanuele is very capable, even more so than me. You have to believe he’s fine,” Rocco said, not knowing how to comfort Isabella.

He now saw Isabella as family. Although he hadn’t liked her at first, he came to realize that she genuinely cared for Grazia. During this time, she had taken care of Grazia in his place, for which Rocco was very grateful.

Listening to Rocco, Isabella actually wanted to relax, but she knew she couldn’t.

She was truly worried that something might have happened to Emanuele.

Her mother had left, and now Emanuele had become the closest person to her in the world.

She couldn’t imagine what she would do if she lost Emanuele. She might as well die.

Thinking this, Isabella felt a pang in her heart.

Seeing that Isabella was still worried, Rocco sighed, “If Emanuele doesn’t reply to your messages by tomorrow, I’ll send someone to Chicago to check on the situation.”

“Thank you,” Isabella said.

She knew that if Emanuele was really on a mission, especially if the enemy wasn’t too strong, he should be able to finish it quickly-usually within a day.

If there was no news from Emanuele for a long time, then something must have happened to him.

Isabella had a bad feeling, but she knew she couldn’t say it out loud right now.

Isabella gathered herself and walked back into the room. Grazia was now sitting up by the bedside, holding the child with a loving expression.

At that moment, Isabella felt that Grazia was radiating the light of motherhood.

Isabella felt that Grazia’s demeanor had changed.

“Grazia, my baby is so adorable. What should I name him?” Grazia asked.

She had already decided, but she was still hesitant.

“Grazia, I think whatever name you choose, it will represent your good wishes for this child.”

“You’re right. I also think so. Let’s call him Nicholas. It means ‘victor.’ Isabella, we will be victorious,” Grazia smiled at Isabella, and at that moment, a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes.

Isabella suddenly realized that even though she hadn’t expressed her concern for Emanuele to Grazia, Grazia could still sense it.

After all, Grazia was very perceptive.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Isabella suddenly remembered the first time she visited her stepfather’s house, the first time she met them. At that time, she was just an ordinary person living an ordinary life, suddenly thrustinto the world of the mafia. She felt intense unease and nervousness.

But Grazia noticed and immediately comforted her, even accompanying her to social events when she felt lonely.

Grazia had always been a great source of comfort; her sensitivity and attentiveness were remarkable.

Isabella knew that even though she hadn’t talked to Grazia about Emanuele’s situation, Grazia must have known.

“That’s a great name,” Isabella nodded. She felt her blood rushing with excitement.

Grazia handed the baby to Rocco, and then reached out to embrace Isabella.

“Isabella, trust in Emanuele. Let’s wait quietly for his message. I’ll be with you, you don’t have to worry too much,” she said.

She knew that Isabella must feel very alone right now, but she wanted Isabella to understand that she wasn’t truly alone.

Isabella hugged Grazia, feeling her eyes welling up with tears.

Grazia would have to stay in the hospital for a few more days before going home, but the good news was that her body was in excellent condition, and the childbirth had not caused much harm.

Rocco came over, so Isabella no longer needed to stay with Grazia at the hospital. She returned to the estate, feeling the loneliness now that the staff were gone, leaving her alone.

It was strange, because even when she was in Chicago and Emanuele was often absent, she hadn’t felt lonely. However, things were different now.

The next day, Isabella received a message from Phillip.

“Madam, the boss is fine. He’s just been very busy with his recent tasks, so he hasn’t had time to reply to you. He asked me to inform you.”

Isabella looked at the message from Phillip. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.

If Emanuele was busy, did that mean Phillip was free? But considering Phillip’s current physical condition, he didn’t need to accompany Emanuele in battles anymore, just handle some company matters. It was normal for him to respond on Emanuele’s behalf.
