Chapter 131: Meeting Ro With Grazia


    Chapter 131: Meeting Ro with Grazia


    After Emanuele finished his shower, he saw that Isabe had already pulled the covers over herself


    and was asleep. Shey there, facing away from him, a clear sign that she was still angry. The


    misunderstandings between them seemed to be growing, and Emanuele was bing


    increasingly frustrated.


    He didn''t know what to do to make Isabe not despise him. However, with so many tasks


    demanding his attention, finding Frederick was his top priority. Until he saw Frederick''s body or had


    concrete evidence of his demise, Emanuele couldn''t rest easy. He also couldn''t afford to let Isabe


    know his true feelings; he feared that their enemies would exploit this vulnerability.


    If Isabe became his wife now, there was an 80% chance that their enemies would try to kill her.


    Once they knew he cared for Isabe, they would stop at nothing to eliminate her. Emanuele didn''t


    want that to happen, so he had to suppress his emotions for Isabe.


    To outsiders, their marriage was merely a convenient arrangement. As for Grazia, Emanuele


    admitted that part of the reason was to secure a deeper partnership by having her marry Ro. But


    at the same time, it was also about protecting Grazia.


    Even though the situation seemed clear now with Frederick on the run, and Emanuele still in control


    of Chicago, he couldn''t let his guard down. People like Frederick enjoyed targeting those close to


    him. His subordinates and even Andrew had fallen victim to Frederick''s schemes. Emanuele was


    afraid that, if Grazia stayed close to him, he wouldn''t be able to protect her. However, if she married


    Ro, there would be no need to worry about this issue, as Ro was the head of the Italian


    Mafia. Emanuele believed Frederick wouldn''t be foolish enough to provoke two mafia organizations


    simultaneously.


    But he couldn''t share these thoughts with Isabe; he knew she wouldn''t understand. Women''s


    minds were sometimes strange; they liked romance and all things ethereal. They were often led by


    emotions, even if it meant risking their lives.


    If he told Isabe, she would probably agree more with Grazia pursuing what she wanted. So, he


    decided it wasn''t necessary to discuss this matter with Isabe. He had given Grazia and Ro


    time to get along, hoping they could have a pleasant rtionship and a smooth marriage.


    Emanueley beside Isabe, carefully holding her in his arms. Fortunately, she didn''t wake up due


    to his movements. Emanuele sighed, wondering when he had started to fear Isabe''s emotional


    states.


    His emotions wereplicated, but holding Isabe, he drifted off to sleep.


    The news of Grazia''s impending marriage to Ro continued to affect Isabe. Early in the


    morning, when she woke up, thoughts of this matter gave her a headache.


    At breakfast downstairs, Isabe mentioned it to Lilly. Lilly said, "Even though it might be hard to


    understand, as a Mafia princess, she has to be ready to arrange a marriage anytime for the honor


    of the family."


    "But what if the other person is very ruthless?" Isabe asked.


    In her impression, Ro looked fierce, with a scar on his face and mysterious, calcting eyes.


    A man like Ro for Grazia''s husband?


    Their personalities arepletely opposite; Grazia is so outgoing and looks like sunshine. Herte


    husband, Andrew, was witty and humorous, which Grazia seems to favor. No matter how she


    interacts with Ro, it should be without any emotional attachment.


    "Isabe, rx. As long as Emanuele remains strong, those people will consider his dignity and


    won''t harm Grazia," Lilly assured.


    Grazia, as the Mafia princess, represented the honor of the Lombardi family. Even if she got


    married, if the other party dared to mistreat her, it would be disrespectful to the Lombardi family.


    Emanuele, being who he was, wouldn''t allow such a thing to happen.


    Isabe sighed; she was still saddened by the situation. However, she was well aware of her


    insignificance. In the world of the Mafia, women were like tools, to be used and disposed of at will.


    She was fortunate to have married the person she liked. But if, at that time, Emanuele didn''t want to


    marry her, she wouldn''t have had any say in the matter and would have ended up marrying rk.


    However, Emanuele marrying her didn''t necessarily mean it was good for her.

    After a while, Isabe heard the doorbell. She opened the door and saw Grazia.


    "Oh, God, I actually wanted toe find you, but you beat me to it," Isabe immediately pulled


    Grazia inside.


    Grazia looked quite worn out, seemingly worried about what wasing next.


    "Ro sent me a message, saying he wants to meet me today," Grazia said, her lips trembling. It


    was evident that she was at a loss about meeting Ro.


    At this moment, Isabe felt calmer. She knew that one of them had to remainposed.


    Grazia clearly couldn''t be indifferent, so it had to be her.


    "Grazia, how about I apany you to meet him?" Isabe thought they needed some contact no


    matter what.


    Her nature was like this: if you couldn''t escape something, you faced it positively. Find a loophole in


    the situation and make yourself the one truly in control.


    On hearing this, Grazia''s emotions improved slightly. "That would be great if Ro agrees."


    She didn''t want to face it alone; she felt she might break down and identally mess up everything.


    Even though her rtionship with Emanuele was good, he was the Mafia boss, and she didn''t dare


    resist his decisions. The only thing she could do was try to find a ce that made her a little more


    comfortable in an ufortable environment.


    Seeing Grazia a bit happier, Isabe was also pleased.


    After a while, Ro replied to Grazia: "Okay."


    Grazia immediately took Isabe''s hand. "Let''s go meet him together."


    Their agreed-upon meeting ce was a nearby café. Grazia and Isabe got into Tony''s car,


    heading to the café.


    During the journey, Grazia kept asking Tony and Harry about Ro.


    "What do you think Ro dislikes in a woman the most?"


    "Definitely someone disobedient," Harry answered.


    "If I''m too disobedient, he might twist my head off," Grazia vetoed. "What if I act very boring? He


    probably won''t like me then."


    "We don''t know much about this kind of marriage, but based on my experience with the boss for


    many years, if he tells me to marry someone, I''ll marry her no matter what, unless it involves a


    matter of principle, like her cheating. If she really cheats, being disloyal to the marriage, I might


    shoot her."


    Grazia immediately hugged Isabe. "Oh no, it seems I can only marry Ro."


    She had heard he was not gentle at all, very cold and ruthless, with a long scar on his face, truly


    terrifying.
