Chapter 202 - Since they want to be smart
Joanna asked seriously, "A maid’s outfit? What am I supposed to use that for?" She looked confused as Nancy took deep breaths and explained.
"Eat first for energy, and after that, I will move you to the maids’ quarters before the massive attack. Alex would be here soon, and Logan or any of those dons could pull a gun to your head to make him conform to their demands."
Joanna was amazed at the level of her sister’s change. Nancy was not behaving like the fifteen-year-old Joanna expected but like a twenty-year-old.
"Okay, let’s eat together, but can you tell me what happened to you all these years?" Joanna asked. Nancy refused, though she wished to share this moment with her sister.
Any wrong move and they would be exposed. Also, though Dario would have returned her to her mother and sister, Nancy was too obsessed with this life because of the people she helped Dario to rescue, making it feel like a calling for her.
"No, I already ate, and there isn’t enough time to tell you all that. Please hurry up and change."
Joanna ate as much as she could, which was easy because of how good the food tasted, just the way their mother used to prepare it.
"I’m surprised you learned from mom. You were so little by then and inattentive to her cooking," Joanna pointed out. Nancy recalled the past, and something moved inside her.
At first, she missed her mother a lot, but when Dario began treating her like a daughter, she felt she belonged to him. He was lonely before she joined him, and whenever there were no jobs, Dario would lock himself up studying or spend hours in the gym working out.
Nancy’s presence gave him something to hope for whenever he wasn’t busy and someone to be with and impact his knowledge on.
Time passed, and the bond between the two grew. Dario found a companion, a friend, and a trusted colleague. If all of Salvatore’s men betray Dario, he was certain that Nancy would never betray him.
