Chapter 120 - 121
Dante stood without another word and walked toward the stairs.
The silence that followed was thick, and awkward. Everyone at the table exchanged glances, unsure of what to make of it.
After a beat, Levi broke the tension with a grin. "Well... it’s definitely more sincere when Dante does the asking."
It was true. When a kid asked, it could sound halfhearted. Obligatory. But when the Alpha himself went upstairs to personally invite someone? That carried weight.
Sienna understood the logic.
But she wasn’t concerned. Not really.
Dante’s purpose was simple: to cover his bases with Nonna. Going upstairs to call Elodie didn’t mean anything beyond that. It was just another performance. Another box to check.
He’d never had feelings for Elodie. And he certainly didn’t now.
She relaxed slightly, picking up her drink.
But Liora wasn’t relaxed at all.
Her small hands gripped the edge of the table, her lips pressed into a tight, anxious line. She was worried. Really worried.
Because if her dad was the one asking, her mom might actually come down.
