Chapter 214: Fear
Marcella sat comfortably with her legs folded over the couch and sipped the hot chocolate Gloria brought her. Joey was playing with Gloria’s daughter so carefully.
Marcella smiled seeing how careful Joey was with Anna. He loved playing rough with Tony and even she would get scared seeing how careless Tony would act with Joey. She thought that it would affect Joey making him think that it was the only way to play.
She had voiced her thoughts to her husband who only knew to ignore her. Apparently, that’s how boys play! She would roll her eyes at him.
Who knew she was wrong?
She was scared of bringing Joey with her to Gloria’s house. He never was rough with her and never caused any issues while playing with other kids in the park. She was still worried considering Anna was still a baby. On the way here, she kept on advising him. She didn’t think he listened to her though.
The more he grew up, the more she saw his resemblance with Tony. That nose and that smile—carbon copy!
She was glad she worried for nothing. Joey knew how to be gentle. He held the baby’s hand so gently and kissed her hand. When Anna accidentally dropped the toy on her foot, he immediately wiped it with his hands and stopped her crying even before she started.
Aww! He’s such a sweetheart! He’s going to be a great big brother!
"Do you think they’ll fall in love with each other in the future?" Gloria asked and sat beside Marcella.
"Wow!" Marcella looked at her weirdly.
Love? That thought didn’t even come to her mind.
"I was admiring my son for being a good big brother," she said dryly. "You looked at those little munchkins and thought about love?"
