He Chose Another Heir Now He Wants Me Back Chapter 43
I walked up to Vittorio.
He looked me over from head to toe. His gaze wasn’t friendly, but it wasn’t hostile either. It was an evaluation of someone who had just borrowed the Moretti name.
“De Luca’s biological daughter?”
“Yes.”
“Last night, you gave Dante permission to protect you as your husband?”
“Yes. It was my request.”
Vittorio glanced at Dante.
“Then I acknowledge last night’s protection, but not a marriage that does not exist. Unless Elena agrees again, you will not use that title a second time.”
“Understood.”
Only then did the old man continue. “The donor materials will be reviewed by the hospital tonight. Our people are only responsible for ensuring that neither the physicians nor the donors are threatened.”
“Thank you, Grandfather.”
Vittorio turned with his cane, pausing by the car door.
“Before the end of the year, bring her home for a meal. In what capacity she enters the house will be her decision.”
For once, Dante looked genuinely stunned.
After the motorcade pulled away, I noticed the tips of his ears were red.
“What did you tell him?”
“I told him your business is my business.” He slid his hands into his pockets. “He understood too much.”
