Chapter 281: Distressed De Lucas

Giovanni handed Gael a bottle of Perrier and kept one for himself. They twisted the caps and took a sip of the sparkling water as they observed a group of carolers from a few doors down. 

"What did he want?" Gael asked after pocketing the cap. "Mariano."

"They want to push up the wedding."

He cocked a brow, staring at his uncle and waiting for him to continue. Mariano would be the next underboss in their family when his father would replace Don Mario as the family boss. But lately, he seemed to be taking on more responsibility, so the De Lucas could only assume that he'd be moving up the rank soon.
