~Gianna's POV
The way Matteo laughed after I finished talking made me burst out laughing too, because honestly, even I still found it hard to believe.
He leaned back slightly, shaking his head, his laughter coming out freely.
"I still cannot believe this," he said, looking at me like I had just told him the most unbelievable story. "Salvatore… actually believing something like that?"
I covered my mouth lightly as I laughed.
"I know," I said, trying to catch my breath. "Even I did not think it would work that well."
He pointed at me playfully.
"You just convinced the most dangerous man I know that he needs to read bedtime stories to a baby that is not even born yet," he said.
"That sounds worse when you say it like that," I replied, laughing again.
He shook his head.
"That man has people shaking when he walks into a room, and here you are, manipulating him with… baby bonding theories," he added.
I lifted my shoulders slightly.
