Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 57

“Oh my god,” I say, leaning in close to get a better look. “I remember this. There's
alittle chip...” I turn the sugar bowl halfway round and, indeed, there it is. Right
on the rim.

Alden laughs a little but Tristin goes stiff in her seat. “Yes, well,”

she says, shifting uncomfortably. “If someone would let me replace it.”

“Oh no,” I say without thinking, looking up at them all. “It's such a beautiful set —
you can't possibly-"

“Well if you're so fond of it,” she says, glaring at me. “You shall take it with you
when you go.”

I bite my lip, realizing that it's not precisely a friendly gesture that she’s making.
“In fact,” she says, glaring at me and gesturing all around the room. “I guess all of

body is cold before you come and claim it? Or will you turn me out before the
funeral?”

My mouth falls open as I look between them, my eyes finally settling on little
Romulus, who looks about ready to bolt. Oh god, poor kid. Is this his life every
day?

“I'm really not here —” I say, trying (and failing) to put on a cheerful smile, “to take
anyone's inheritance — seriously, you can keep it all

“Lies,” she hisses, standing up and clutching the baby to her

chest.

“Tristin,” Alden says, raising his voice, the rage growing in him. “You will sit, and
treat my daughter with respect.”
