Isabe knew Emanuele was angry. When Emanuele was angry, his face was dark, and his eyes were sharp like knives, ready to kill at any moment. Previously, Isabe might have been afraid of Emanuele’s anger, but now, after being with Emanuele for a while, she knew she was the most important person to him. So, when facing Emanuele, she could be fearless.


    Isabe actually felt like she was taking advantage of Emanuele’s affection towards her, as she dared to boldly show him a brilliant smile, even in the face of his current anger, and then she reached out and hugged him. Isabe was petite, while Emanuele was tall and strong. She felt like she was hugging a tree trunk when she embraced Emanuele.


    This man, tall and sturdy, she felt a sense of security when nestled against Emanuele. Isabe didn’t even realize how strongly she depended on Emanuele. Even though Emanuele was angry at the moment and seemed cold towards her, she still fearlessly held onto him.


    She even said to Emanuele, “Emanuele, please don’t be angry. I’m afraid of seeing you like this.” Her tone carried a hint of grievance. Upon hearing Isabe’s grievance and carefully spoken words, Emanuele suddenly found himself unable to maintain his anger.


    Initially, after hearing Phillip’s report, he was very angry when he returned home, intending to question Isabe. However, Isabe showed no fear and instead greeted him with a smile, hugged him, and even coquettishly flirted with him.


    Emanuele was unsure if Isabe was pretending. Her current demeanor showed no signs of fear at all. Nheless, even if Isabe was putting on an act, Emanuele couldn’t help but soften towards her. Isabe had a grip on his weakness, even though he knew she might be pretending, deliberately trying to manipte him into yielding.


    Regardless, Emanuele couldn’t easily let Isabe off the hook. “I may not be upset with you, but Isabe, I hope you will tell me what you and Jessie talked about,” he said.


    “We didn’t talk much. She just asked if I wanted to go to Europe with you both on the uing mission. She thought I might worry about what would happen between you two, considering you would be posing as a married couple. She felt insecure, so she asked me if I wanted to join you in Europe. I thought about it and declined.”


    As Isabe spoke, Emanuele furrowed his brow. He found Jessie’s actions odd. Why would she inquire if Isabe wanted to apany them to Europe? Did she truly care if Isabe misunderstood their rtionship? She didn’t seem like that sort of person to him.


    Individuals who had reached Jessie’s position were cunning and self-serving and only befriended those who could benefit them. Now, she was being unusually nice to Isabe. Did she consider Isabe someone she could manipte?


    Emanuele realized Isabe’s only significant identity was his wife. He considered the prospect of Jessie being interested in Isabe solely because of her status as the Queen of the Chicago Mafia. Emanuele found this notion incredulous.


    Nevertheless, he decided to let the matter rest since Jessie would be departing for New York the following day, and they wouldn’t meet again. He figured she wouldn’t be able to harm Isabe, and so he didn’t need to bother with her anymore.


    He simply wanted Isabe to live well and in peace, free from any troubles. Isabe sighed in relief when she saw that Emanuele was no longer angry and immediately led him to the dining table to eat. During the meal, she picked out dishes for Emanuele, taking care of him with affectionate gestures.


    Although Emanuele was still slightly displeased with Isabe, her sweet words and actions quickly extinguished his temper. “Isabe, I never thought I would one day be at the mercy of a woman,” he remarked. Before meeting Isabe, he wouldn’t have believed anyone who said he would eventually be tamed by a woman. Now, he had no choice but to believe it. Isabe had managed to control his emotions, causing him to get angry, upset, worried, all for her sake.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    He used to be a cold and ruthless Mafia boss who never disyed such rich emotions. For individuals like them, the fewer emotions they had, the better they could control the situation. Conversely, too many emotions could lead to wrong decisions.


    Emanuele was fully aware that it was because of Isabe that his emotions were so unpredictable. His enemies also knew Isabe was his most important person and could use her to hurt him. Protecting Isabe was a way of protecting himself and the Chicago Mafia.


    Even though he didn’t like this situation, he knew he couldn’t help it. He couldn’t resist liking such things, no matter how carefully he tried to hide his feelings. His actions would ultimately betray him.


    Those enemies were clever; how could they not know what he was really thinking? Unfortunately, Isabe was unaware of the truth. Upon hearing Emanuele’s words, she nonchntly replied, “Thank you, Emanuele. You make me feel truly attractive and epted.”


    “In a few days, I will be going to Europe,” Emanuele stated. Isabe nodded, asking, “When will you be back? Grazia is returning to Chicago, and she will be sad if she doesn’t see you.”


    “She’sing to stay for two weeks. I promise she will see me in thest few days,” Emanuele assured. “I miss my little nephew as well.”


    Thinking about Grazia’s child, Isabe thought about her inability to conceive and felt a bit depressed. She had always wanted a child and had been happy when pregnant before. However, her joy turned to sorrow after losing the child. Now, she could never have a child of her own, causing Isabe to grow increasingly despondent.


    Seeing Isabe downcast and guessing she was saddened by something, Emanuele quickly realized his mistake. “Isabe, I’m sorry. I made you sad,” he said. He knew it was because he mentioned their daughter, who could have grown up just like him.


    But now, that was no longer possible. Isabe was no longer able to bear children.
