All Chapters of A BABY FOR CHRISTMAS: Chapter 661 - Chapter 670

CHAPTER 662. RED PROMISE. A Crazy FamilyIt wasn’t easy. No one in their right mind would have said it was easy. But even though Ainara had spent the past ten years burying all the good feelings she’d ever had for Mauro, she wasn’t so immature as to deny that he could bring them back to the surface when he wanted—especially when it came to protecting her daughter.“There’s a lot you can say about the Kellers,” said a cheerful voice behind her. Ainara turned to see Mrs. Andrea walking in, carrying a covered hanger. She didn’t have to unzip it to know it held a beautiful dress the woman must have managed to get at the last minute.“Pardon…?” Ainara murmured, and Andrea smiled as she approached.“That look on your face means you’re driving yourself crazy, wondering if you made the right decision,” Andrea stated. “So let me finish what I came to say: there’s a lot you can say about the Kellers—that they’re stubborn, clumsy, a bit insensitive, scatterbrained… and all of that is true. But i

CHAPTER 664. RED PROMISE. Say Yes!"Jhoooohn! The rifle!" Mauro shouted the moment one of those cheeky guys flashed his fiancée a smile. Within seconds, every man in the family was on the scene, ready to ruin their women’s fun."Sir, sir, please!" one of the officers said. "We are professionals. If you have a rifle in this house, I recommend you get your gun license ready for me to review. Understood?"Mauro's eyes widened in shock as the man in front of him appeared completely serious."Did you seriously call the police, you bunch of crazies?!" he demanded, glaring at his mother and aunts. But the commanding officer’s voice cut through the commotion."Alright, boys! Show them that tonight, the only ones allowed to be armed are us!""Sweet Jesus!" Mauro yelled just as the nearest officer ripped off his fake uniform. Ainara burst into laughter as Mauro hopped on one leg like a startled flamingo."Jhoooohn! The damn rifle, I mean it!"Of course, the women protested loudly, laughing and

CHAPTER 666. RED PROMISE. A Classic Approach"What do you mean, nothing? What are you trying to say?"Mauro pulled his uncle into one of the house’s private offices, shutting the door firmly behind him and ensuring no one was around to interrupt."Exactly what I said. Nothing. The only two men connected to her in any way are Senator Rosso—which we already know isn’t true, obviously—and Lugh, who also isn’t the father because their blood types are incompatible for a father-daughter relationship.""Yeah, and he’s not powerful enough for Ainara to be afraid of him, honestly," Mauro mused. "So… not a single lead?""None. There’s also no record of either of them at any hospital, as if June’s birth took place at home or something. So whatever Ainara’s hiding from you, it’s probably not something pleasant," Uncle Jhon warned."Well… to be fair, she’s not exactly hiding it from me. She was going to tell me last night, completely voluntarily…""But?" Jhon interjected, raising a condescending e

CHAPTER 668. RED PROMISE. The Wrong ManAinara was excited—she couldn’t deny it. Working with Senator Rosso had its moments, or more precisely, whatever Lugh said would bring in the most money. She didn’t complain, though, because, honestly, she couldn’t afford to. But the truth was, she was thrilled to be dedicating herself to something that genuinely filled her heart.And Mauro seemed more than willing to entrust her with these projects. However, when they arrived at the office, his secretary looked visibly nervous."Sir, I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve been trying to reach you all morning, but… well… your phone was off!"The young woman knew it was poor etiquette to blame her bosses, but it wasn’t her fault that the company CEO had his phone turned off while someone so important was waiting for him."Is there a problem?""You have an important visitor. No appointment… or rather, one of those who doesn’t need an appointment," she replied. Mauro narrowed his eyes. There were only a han

CHAPTER 670. RED PROMISE. Why?Her lips trembled, and she couldn’t stop it. Ainara knew Mauro had every right to demand answers, to make a scene, to rage over what that idiot Rolf Weber had just told him. But to her surprise, Mauro was as calm as if he hadn’t just punched a senator in the face in the very same office.She felt his arms around her and buried her face in his chest with a nervous sigh.“Her mother’s name was Luzia,” she murmured slowly, without lifting her head. “She had… an affair with Weber, though I’m not sure you could call it that. I mean, I understand how hard it must be to say no to a powerful man when he’s fixated on you…”“You’ve experienced that firsthand, haven’t you?” Mauro sighed, his voice tinged with regret.“No,” she said firmly, lifting her head and meeting his eyes, her voice full of certainty. “Not even in your worst moments have I ever been just a whim to you.”Mauro gently cupped her face, brushing her lips with his. He loved this woman with a kind o
