Chapter 128: Am I Important to You?

As they chatted, they began to eat. Isabella cut into her steak, the diamond on her hand sparkling in the light.

The diamond ring that Emanuele had given her was quite large, almost like a pigeon egg. Evelyn also noticed the sparkling ring on Isabella's finger.

"Isabella, your ring must have been very expensive!" she exclaimed. "I can't even imagine wearing such a huge diamond in the future."

Although she knew that Pippo's family was wealthy, it would still be difficult to buy such a large diamond ring.

Emanuele was really rich!

"I don't know," Isabella looked at her own ring. The design was simple and nothing special except for the exceptionally large and shiny diamond.

When they got married, Isabella thought she was going to marry Clark and didn't care about the ring at all. When Emanuele put it on her finger later, she was shocked that he wanted to marry her instead of the ring.

Now that Evelyn mentioned it, she realized how much bigger it was compared to what an average person would wear.

However, she noticed some old marks underneath the diamond which meant that this wasn't a new piece of jewelry - could someone else have worn this before?

That night when they got home, Isabella waved her hand with the ring in front of Emanuele's face.

"Did you give this same exact one to someone else before? Are you trying to fool me with someone else's things?" If he really gave his ex-girlfriend something like this before, then there would be no forgiveness from Isabella.

"Well then, who do you think I gave it too?" Emanuele asked while smiling as he took hold of Isabela's hand and caressed his fingers over the ring.

"How should I know? But I found out it has some old marks, so obviously its not new anymore... Did you take back after breaking up with an ex-girlfriend?"

It looked clean, but it was nothing like the shiny ring that just came out. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Isabella was angry.

Even though she knew Emanuele didn't like her, it made her feel bad that he had treated her this way.

Emanuel continued smiling as he held Isabelia close in his arms.

"Isabella, is it because I haven't been generous enough with you that you think I would take something meant for another woman and give it to you?"

"Then where did this diamond ring come from? You're not going to tell me that it's second-hand, are you?" Isabella glared at Emanuele. Why was he still smiling at her when she was so serious and angry?

Emanuele kissed Isabella on the cheek and laughed out loud. "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. The truth is, this is my mother's diamond ring and it has a special meaning."

It was the ring his mother left him before she passed away, and he gave it to Isabella.

His mother!

Isabella wasn't angry anymore; instead she looked down at the ring in her hand. Did Emanuele giving her this mean that she was important to him?

Thinking about this made Isabella's heart beat faster as if it were about to burst out of her chest. She caressed the ring as if seeing his unseen mother.

She remembered Grazia telling her that her own mother had been killed by someone else.

Being a female head of a mafia family was very dangerous; one had to be vigilant all the time or risk being killed by enemies who wanted to prove their ability or make their leader suffer, so they could start a big fight.

Isabella realized that she too faced such danger but didn't know how long she could survive in such an environment.

Perhaps wanting peace until old age really was just wishful thinking.

But being able to spend every minute with someone whom one loved made Isabella feel contented, even though there might be danger ahead of them both. She didn't regret marrying Emanuele, even if there were risks involved.

However, when thinking about how Emanuele only liked certain aspects of herself like her body or stubborn personality, rather than loving all of who she truly was, made Isabelle feel somewhat disappointed again.

Emanuele said their relationship between them two were like playing cat-and-mouse game where neither knew who would win in end, but then why did he give his mom's precious diamond ring

which showed how much importance he placed on Isabel?

"So does this thing have extraordinary significance for you? And giving me means I'm important for you too?" Immediately after receiving the gift from him , Isabel asked eagerly without waiting any longer than necessary for an answer .

Emanuele looked at Isabella and finally pulled his lips into a smile, saying, "Of course it is. You are my esteemed lady, according to the tradition of our family, this diamond ring should belong to you. You are also very important to me."

A hint of disappointment appeared on Isabella's face. It turned out that Emanuele gave her the diamond ring not because he liked her, but only because she held the title of Mafia Queen.

Emanuele also noticed the disappointed expression on Isabella's face, and he felt frustrated inside. At that moment, he really wanted to have a drink.

Soon, he saw Isabella take off the ring from her own finger and hand it over to Emanuele, saying "Why don't you keep it yourself? It's so precious. If I lose it, it wouldn't be good."

With her mother's precious ring in tow, but only giving it to her because she was the Mafia queen, if she were to accidentally lose it, not even a few lives would be enough for her to compensate.

She thought Emanuele would shoot her if that happened.

To avoid that, she might as well just hand the ring back.

"I've given it to you, so wear it properly," Emanuele frowned.

He didn't expect her to be so stubborn. Just because he refused to admit his true feelings, she wants to return the ring to him?

"Will you shoot me if I lose it?" Isabella asked him.

Emanuele originally wanted to be angry, but at this moment he couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't know. If it's lost, it's not your fault, as long as you didn't lose it on purpose," Emanuele held Isabella's hand and kissed the diamond ring on it.

He thought to himself, "Isabella, one day you will know my true feelings."

But it's definitely not now. Right now, he still has a lot of work to do and many things to handle.

Of course, the most important thing, and what he has been thinking about all day today.

Emanuele reached out and caressed Isabella's back, feeling her body slowly soften under his touch.

"No, Emanuele, stop." Isabella didn't want to do this with Emanuele, even though her body always quickly got into the mood.

Emanuele couldn't wait any longer. He picked up Isabella around her waist and carried her back to the bedroom.

In this spacious space belonging to two people, Emanuele can freely do what he wants to do.

He took off Isabella's clothes and threw them on the ground, pushing her legs away, and then he stood at her entrance and began to push, and he felt his body sink deep into hers, and he was enveloped in her moisture and warmth.

At this moment, Emanuele finally has a feeling of coming home.
