Hiding the Alpha’s Baby (Layla and Alexander’s)

Chapter 102 

AMA 

What is this way of talking, Massimo?” Uncle Max scolds, grabbing his attention. 

Massimo casts a careful glance towards him, and then looks back at me. I purse my lips and relax on the couch. 

He can’t do anything to me in front of his family. 

* Do you have a problem with her presence here?” Max questions, but it feels more like a challenge to Massimo. 

Massimo’s shoulders stiffen as he stares at his Uncle Max for a few moments. “I was worried about her.” 

*What do you have to worry about? Do you have no trust in your pack security?” Max scoffs, silencing Massimo. 

Unconsciously, I giggle and cover my mouth with my hand. The eyes of the two men turn to me instantly, curious and surprised. 

My cheeks flush as I shoot Max a smile. ” he is such a hulk around me, Max but in front of you, he acts like a scolded child. I can definitely put my trust in you and report his misbehavior immediately so you can make him pay.” 

* Like I said, the offer stands. “Max’s lips twitch. 

“What offer?” Massimo’s gaze switches between us suspiciously. 

That’s personal, Massimo. “I shrug, throwing him a charming smile that’s meant to mock him. 

Massimo lifts one brow and walks closer. ” come out. I have something important to say to you.” 

Nothing can be more important to me than keeping Max company. Calista left me on that duty. I am not moving an inch. “I shake my head 

right away. 

I know Massimo wants to threaten me. I am not taking that risk. 

His eyes narrow on me again, as his back faces Max. My lips pucker out, annoyance filling me at his experience of dodging other’s eyes. 

“Ayla, my Baby, come on. It’s very important. “He grabs hold of my upper arm, urging me to stand. 

‘No!” I snap, pulling my hand out of his hand. “I said I want to stay here. ” 

And I said come out right now.” Massimo mimics my high–pitched tone. 

My jaw drops. ” Massimo, you are really something! 

I know, now be a good wife and listen to your husband. ” He coos, leaning in for my arm again. 

“You be a good husband first. ” My nervous gaze flickers towards Max, but the giant named Massimo is blocking my view. 

“I am being a good husband. That’s why I want to talk privately.” He clicks his tongue, pulling me to my feet. 

I let my body hang loose, falling limp on the couch. Stubbornly, I dig my heels into the floor so he can not make me stand again.

Avia, you are so childish! “He scoffs, the tip of his nose turning red as he glares down at me. 

What do you think about yourself? “I retort, shaking my arm out of his hand once more.” stop manhandling me. 

Tam not manhandling you. I am just telling you that we need to talk!” He huffs, running a frustrated hand through his hair. 

And I am telling you that I do not want to talk! Do you not understand? Are you deaf or dumb?! “I utter, shaking my head wildly. 

Come again?” His hand pauses mid–air, as he gawks at me.” say that again to me!” 

Maybe you are both. Deaf and dumb! “I roll my eyes and fold my arms over my chest so he can not attempt to grab me again. 

Ha.” He laughs mockingly. “You can not be serious. ” 

“Yes, I am. “I blink. 

“You- – – ” He trails off, searching for the right words as his eyes stay on mine. 

My nose scrunches. I lean back triumphantly and yawn. 

You won’t listen this way. Fine, you asked for this. ” Massimo announces, slipping his hands under my folded arms to throw me over his shoulder. 

I shriek and kick his stomach. He doesn’t budge but looks dumbfounded at the sudden hit. 

Did you just fucking hit me?!” He sounds baffled, and angry at the same time. 

“That’s why I called you dumb. You can not even process that I kicked you just now. “I snicker, watching his reddening face.” No shoo! Go cry in the corner. ” 

Massimo points a trembling finger in my face, “You—” 

“Enough.” Max’s calm voice rings in the living room. 

Suddenly, I recall that he is still present. The tips of my ears heat at the realization, making me press my lips shut tightly. 

Massimo seems to realize the same and goes silent.

How lovely.” Another voice chimes, making my cheeks catch fire this time. 

I glance around Massimo’s torso to find Calista standing beside Max. I didn’t even notice her coming in. 

“Young love and the childish fights. “Calista sighs dreamily and sits beside Max to lean into him. “You two just reminded me of my good old days.” 

“These are good days?” Massimo huffs, plopping down beside me. 

66 

Of course. The little childish fights only strengthen the love.” Calista replies sweetly. 

If only she knew these are not little love fights. These are wars that I must win to kick this giant in his stomach a hundred times more. 

Scrunching my nose, I slip a little away to put distance between us only to get this oblivious giant to cover the space again. Our thighs press 

gather, our knees touch and slowly, his hand grabs mine. 

ayapul jumps on my body, as try to get my hand out of his hold but he doesn’t let go. My eyes meet his side profile, studying his sharp Tawine, and the corner of his mouth in a trance, Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Anyway, I love my new daughter in law. She is so pretty and kind. You didn’t bring her to us so she came to greet us on her own. Her parents raised her with care and taught her to respect the elders. I love her, Mimo. She is perfect for you. “Calista blurts, her voice carrying different 

MYLOUS. 

move my gaze towards her face to find her smiling at Massimo with a happy glint in her eyes. 

Massimo’s grip tightens over my hand. I grit my jaw and force my fingers between his to intertwine our hands so I can squeeze him back. 

“Perfect?” The corner of his mouth curls. 

His head turns in my direction, coaxing me into meeting his dark eyes. My breath catches in my throat as I find my face so close to his, just an 

inch closer and I might kiss him. 

His warm breaths ghost my skin, sending shudders down my back. Slowly, his eyes travel down, lingering on my lips, my throat, and my 

chest. A jolt of electric current makes me lick my lips. 

“She is not perfect, Aunt Calista. ” Massimo looks away. The trance breaks, and my soaring heart crashes with his harsh words. 

I don’t understand the hurt that spreads in my chest. My gaze lowers to our joined hands and then to the spot where our knees meet. 

“She is something more. The word perfect doesn’t cut it. “His deep voice echoes in my ears. 

Compelled by him, I peek at his face again but he is not looking at me anymore. What does he mean? 

“I am happy for you, Mimo. ” Calista sniffles. 

“Massimo, take care of this beautiful girl. You are a man now. I expect no hiccups from you. Do not do anything to bring shame to the Rossi name. We Rossi treat our women like Queens because they deserve nothing less. ” Max’s gruff voice follows. 

My heart fills with immense respect for Massimo’s adopted parents. Whatever Massimo is doing, they have no part in it. That’s why I can not bring myself to use them in my scheme anymore. 

64 

Okay, enough with the emotional talk. Let’s have lunch. ” Calista claps excitedly. 

Massimo nods, his fingers squeezing my hand tightly. “Let’s have lunch so I can finally take my wife back home. We have a lot to talk about. 

I shudder at the suggestion in his tone. Our eyes meet, and he smiles like a devil, confirming all my doubts. 

He is going to eat me alive.
