The Soldier I Married Is the Don’s Heir Chapter 06

The familiar scent of cologne came closer, and Rocco pulled me into his arms.

I looked up and saw the sharp line of his jaw.

His voice softened immediately.

“Are you hurt?”

I shook my head.

He put me behind him and looked coldly at Aurora on the floor.

“Done with the act? Everyone saw you throw yourself down.”

Hearing his voice, Luca turned with a frown.

The moment he saw Rocco’s face, he froze.

“What are you doing? Let go of my sister!”

Rocco sneered.

“Let her go? You surrounded her and humiliated her at my dinner, and you expect me to pretend I

didn’t see it?”

Michele was wheeled over by the butler.

He glanced at the knocked-over champagne tower, then at Aurora, who was about to cry, and finally fixed his eyes on me.

Aurora gave a slight bow like a noblewoman, her eyes red.

“Don Vadala, I was only trying to talk some sense into my sister. Just stop her from fooling herself into thinking she could cling to the Vadala family. But the second she saw Rocco, she pushed me

The socialites beside her immediately chimed in.

“She threw herself into the heir’s arms the second she saw him. Faster than anyone.”

“Wasn’t she kept by a soldier a while ago?”

“She still reeks of kitchen grease, and she dares to get close to Rocco.”

Aurora had always been talented at smearing people.

Back in high school, we’d both liked the quarterback of the school football team.

Aurora always played the pure, elegant role. That day, when we both brought him water, he shoved

me away in disgust.

“You’re that fat, ugly Estate from the Conti family? I heard you always steal things from Aurora Now you want to fight her for me?”

“Don’t worry. I have sharp eyes. I’d never pick you.”

After that, I never dared to compete for anyone or anything connected to Aurora.

Deep down, I believed I didn’t deserve to.

Until I met Rocco.

He said, “In my heart, Esta deserves the best. If the world won’t give it to you, I’ll put it in your

hands myself.”

I brushed the dust off my knees, stepped slightly away from Rocco, and turned to Aurora.

“You don’t even know who the man supposedly keeping me is, and you dare spread rumors in public? You really think I won’t have a lawyer sue you?”

It wasn’t a threat.

Rocco was watching me with burning eyes. He was tall and handsome. In the tailored black evening suit, the dusty construction worker from before was almost gone. Only the old scar on his brow still gave him a dangerous edge.

Under everyone’s gaze, I walked back to his side in that plain white dress.

Aurora stuck out her neck stubbornly.

“You’re going to sue me? Then cut ties with the soldier keeping you first.”

Michele’s expression darkened too.

“Estate, if you’re tangled up with another man, why are you still getting close to Rocco?”

Rocco spread his hands helplessly.

“Any chance I’m the soldier you’re all talking about?”
