BRUNO JOE'S POV,

"I think I like that aunty, daddy." Isabella's words pierced through my thoughts as soon as Lisa got out,

"Really?" I asked with a small smile on my face, walking back to her bedside,

"Yes Daddy," She replied, reaffirming her words with a nod, "have you known her for long?" She asked in her shrill voice,

"Well... yes..." I replied, my brows curved downwards, "she's an old friend," I added casually, in an attempt to make her not read any meaning to my words,

She raised her eyes partly in thought and as I stared at her, I knew a question was going to emerge from that,

Just like I had expected, she opened her mouth to speak, which made me smile knowingly,

"Can she be my mommy?" She questioned, and from her tone, I knew she meant it,

Even though I was expecting a question from her, I never thought she'd ask that,

The thought of that made me chuckle, why did she stare at me in anticipation, which was visible on her face,

"No Bella, she can't be your mommy," I responded,

He said, flat and skeptical, he seemed not to have delighted in what I had just told him, just as I had expected, Since he had told me Bruno was not an easy catch, I knew he would find it difficult to believe that I had made some progress only a few days after he sent me on the mission, but that exactly was the motivation I needed to go all in for it, "I've been able to penetrate his stony heart, and I can assure you that he's beginning to like me," I replied, my tone oozing the confidence in my hea
