Chapter 163: Holding a Funeral
Emanuele couldn''t help but tightly grip Isabe''s waist, forcing her to lie in his embrace
"Isabe, can you please stop always making me angry?" Emanuele gritted his teeth. At this moment, he genuinely loved and hated Isabe.
“You''re angry again?" Isabe was somewhat surprised and also very helpless.
She couldn''t understand why Emanuele''s emotions were so unstable, getting angry for no apparent reason. She had only repeated what Emanuele
had said to her before. He was the one who had talked about killing her, so why was he angry now?
Isabe was thoroughly confused
Emanuele didn’t want to answer Isabe. He just held her tighter, deciding he didn''t want to argue with her now. He would wait until they returned to
Chicago to discuss it.
Rain poured down, enveloping everyone, as if mourning their loss of loved ones.
Isabe was held in Emanuele''s arms, and at this moment, their emotions were filled with sorrow.
The priest spoke words nearby, but Isabe couldn''t absorb any of it. In her mind, scenes of the past. when she and Sophia depended on each other,
reyed.
Her mother was as important to Isabe as life itself.
When Isabe''s father passed away when she was young, Sophia raised her single-handedly. They had little money, and life was tough. but Isabe
felt happiest being with her mother.
Because of this, she matured early. Despite being mistreated by her uncle''s family, she endured it without resistance or telling Sophia. She feared her
mother would worry or be upset if she knew.
So, Isabe endured.
Later, when Sophia fell in love with Leo, Isabe initially wanted to stop her. She believed Leo was a dangerous person, and for people like them with
no background, getting involved with such people would only lead to a quicker death.
But Sophia had her own opinions and pursued a rtionship with Leo, eventually marrying him.
Later, Isabe had to enter the world of the Mafia. Although during this process, Sophia forced her to do many things she didn''t want to do, Isabe
now realized that marrying Emanuele was the most perfect oue.
So, she didn’t resent Sophia
Sophia was her only family.
Now, she had passed away in this tragic manner. Isabe leaned against Emanuele, trying to control her emotions, but tears still streamed down her
face.
She regretted not chatting more with Sophia thest time they met, not hugging her more. She regretted it; she should have done that at the time.
Unfortunately, time couldn''t be turned back.
Emanuele’s hand caressed Isabe''s back. He, too, was mourning. but he could stabilize his emotions.
Feeling Isabe''s vulnerability, there was nothing Emanuele could do. The only thing he could do was to apany her and make her feel his
strength.
Soon, Isabe’s emotions calmed a bit. She looked at the coffins of their parents being lowered, knowing they were beingid to rest in their final
resting ce.
Despite the reluctance in Isabe''s heart, she knew they had to bid farewell.
At this moment, trembling, Isabe said, "When our timees to face death, we hope we can also go to it together, just like our parents."
She loved Emanuele. She couldn''t imagine living without him if he died.
"Yes, if we have to face death, you''ll be lying in my arms," Emanuele hugged Isabe, "just like this moment.”

"Dad!" Grazia cried out, leaning on the coffin. Tears streamed down her face, and Ro stood behind her, supporting her. "Dad, I will miss you
Remember to visit me in my dreams.”
Witnessing this scene, Isabe couldn''t control her tears either. After the funeral, Isabe took onest look at the gravesite and then followed
Emanuele into the SUV.
In the car, with only the two of them, Isabe wept softly while holding onto Emanuele.
In front of Grazia, Isabe had maintained her strength, even if she shed tears, it was silently. But now, in a world with only the two of them, Isabe
felt she could cry out loud.
"I still find it hard to ept that I''ve lost my mother forever.”
Not long ago, Sophia had video-called her, sharing pleasant experiences from her travels. How, in the blink of an eye, had she ended up lying in a
cold coffin?
Emanuele kissed her forehead and wiped away the tears on Isabe''s face, his hand gently caressing her cheek.
"I know it’s difficult, but if you can''t bear the pain. lean on me. I will always be your support.”

She knew she wouldn''t easily be broken by anyone, not even their enemies. Although Emanuele had eliminated this particr enemy, the nephew of
this enemy was still missing. leaving them in danger. Moreover, as the head of the Chicago Mafia, many people eyed his position, and they couldn''t
completely escape the risk.
However, Isabe was no longer afraid. There was nothing to fear. She would stand by Emanuele’s side and show those enemies that she was a
powerful Mafia queen.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
After the funeral, Isabe, Emanuele, Grazia, and Ro arrived at Emanuele''s luxurious apartment, chatting
Isabe and Lilly prepared coffee for them. Then, she sat next to Grazia, observing everything in front of her.

A week after the funeral, Emanuele set aside his work and returned home early every evening to apany Isabe. He knew that Isabe needed
his presence at this moment. Emanuele also took Isabe to the seaside in Hawaii to rx.
Since their marriage, they had never had a honeymoon, and even when Isabe went out, it was usually only in the vicinity of the apartment. Now,
they were having their first romantic trip together.
