Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 236
Daniel stares at me, then, his whole face going red as he clenches his teeth. I
freeze in my surprise, my eyes going wide. Never- ever have I seen Daniel lose
his temper like this. He's usually so even controlled, in his own way, like his dad.
But as he glares at me, shaking his head a little bit, his hands splayed wide and
tense on the table. I can see that he's about to burst.
I open my mouth, desperate to say something, to break the tension, looking
around a little frantically, when I suddenly see Kent striding over to us.
Daniel looks up at his father, transferring his rage to him now, but Kent just looks
evenly down at his son. Not angry, not responding to his son's temper, just
perfectly calm.
“Get it together, Daniel,” Kent says, his tone unwavering but also not unkind.
“Don't air your dirty laundry at the breakfast table.”
And, to my shock, it works. I watch Daniel reel himself back in, almost physically,
tucking his emotions away somewhere deep inside of myself, his face turning
back to its normal color and becoming again passive. And while I'm glad that he’s
not going to flip out on me, the therapist within me wails, a little, to see how
practiced Daniel is at tucking those emotions away.
Because it looks like it's something he does on the daily. And one

day, all of those emotions are going to come out. I reach forward, then, taking his
hand, looking at him with a great deal of empathy in my eyes. And Daniel leans
back in his chair, staring down at himself, looking...just, so defeated.
“Good,” Kent says, patting him on the shoulder and turning back to the galley. “I'll
get you two some breakfast.” And then he walks away.
“Daniel,” I begin, as soon as he’s out of carshot. “I never meant to —"
“But you did, Fay,” Daniel says, looking up at me, and my heart breaks to see
that his eyes are lined with tears. “Like everyone else — you took his side.”
“I'm still on your side,” I try to assure him, shaking my head earnestly. “I can do
both —
“No,” he sighs, slipping his hand from beneath mine. “You can't. Because his side
is not my side.”
1 sigh, nodding, wanting to listen rather than correct. But Daniel doesn't say
anything else, just stares down at himself while we wait in silence for Kent to
bring our food. When Kent does bring our food, I smile up at him, eager to break
the tension at the table, but he just looks impassively at us as he slides the plates
onto the table.
“All right?” he asks, slipping his hands into his pockets and looking between us.

Daniel just nods, not moving or saying anything otherwise, and I nod too, still
looking up at Kent.
“Okay then,” Kent says, turning swiftly away from us. I blink at him a little in
shock and then call his name out after him. Kent
pauses
for a second and then comes back to stand at the table, looking down at me, his
face blank.
“Um,” I say, suddenly awkward under his stare. Where was the man I was
laughing with this morning? Who held me tight in his arms all night? “What am I
supposed to do today?”
“What?” he asks, apparently confused.
“You sent this dress,” I say, gesturing towards it. “l mean if you don't have
anything planned, you usually send riding clothes so I can go to the stables. So,
am I going somewhere today...?"
Kent stares at me for a second and I feel...well, I feel a little stupid under his
gaze. And I absolutely hate it. I'm starting lo frown up at him when he replies.

I stare sadly at Daniel as I realize what he's saying. And that, frankly, he might be

Daniel takes a deep breath then and sits up as well, grabbing hist own fork.
