Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Alice’s tone was so high that it attracted the attention of everyone in the cafeteria. Serena noticed and, in a hurry, moved toward Alice and covered her mouth with hand, “Stop it, stop it.”

“Why don’t you let me talk?” asked Alice as she grabbed Serena’s hand tightly, “You don’t have the courage to face reality, but I do! After all, I am a stranger to this matter. I know what kind of person you will be happy with, and I also understand who is really good to you and who is not!”

“Enough! I don’t want to listen to you anymore,” Serena replied as she freed herself from the grip on her hand, “If you want to keep saying these things, then go ahead on your own.” As soon as Serena finished speaking, she grabbed her bag and quickly headed for the exit.

Alice stood in disbelief for a few seconds, staring at her back. Then, once she recovered, she wiped the tears on her face and ran after her, “Serena, don’t be angry. Just listen to me please.”

Serena continued walking and was unconcerned of Alice. There were too many people in the cafeteria. If anyone she knew overheard Alice’s nonsense… it would be a mess.

“I know his identity makes you feel bad, but this world is full of things that can’t be changed. As long as he has nothing against you and takes responsibility. If you get together with him, you will surely be much happier than now!”

Hearing these words, Serena stopped immediately and turned to look at Alice.

“Do you really think so?”

Seeing that she had stopped, Alice also stopped her run. Nodding her head, she continued, “Leonardo has a sweet character. He is very elegant. He is a real gentleman, and then I really think he likes you. If only you….”

“And so, just because of that, you think he likes me? Alice, if he really wants to take responsibility, why does he never say anything to me?”

“Waht?” mumbled Alice motionlessly.

“It’s already been a long time. If he has feelings for me, or if he wants to take responsibility, why does he never seek me out? I’ve always been the one looking for him instead. What does that mean?” said Serena who was unable to hide her self-pity and, without waiting for an answer from Alice, continued, “That means he doesn’t care what happened that night. He doesn’t want to have engagement with the woman of that night. Or… He simply doesn’t give a damn about that night. In his eyes, that night was just an accident, and I… I was the one who opened the car door. No one cares.”

“I never thought about it. Actually, what you said is right. Have you ever thought about it though? Have you ever thought that maybe he’s looking for you too? Only… you don’t know how he is looking for you. Just like Leonardo who doesn’t know that we are looking for him, right? Probably, he still hasn’t found any clues that lead to you. After all…” And coming to this point, Alice lowered her gaze as if to hide something, and continued, “You didn’t leave any clues that night, just… that button.”

Bringing up the question of the button again, Alice shuddered: how could she seize the button that was still in Serena’s hand? Alice had already had two buttons. If she could take back even the last one that was still in Serena’s possession, she would have nothing more to worry about.

Alice then, proposed out of the blue, “What if I find a way for him to look for you?”

“In what way? What way?”

“Give me the button. I’ll take care of it.”

Alice’s wicked intention grew stronger and stronger.

Serena meanwhile stood still, not agreed but also not rejected the proposal.

“Serena? What’s the matter?”

“Actually, that’s fine too,” Serena said in a light, almost relieved tone, “I don’t care who the man was that night, and I don’t demand anything from him. I just want to live peacefully in the present.”

Hearing her words like this, Alice became agitated, “But how can you? I had to ask my brother to help you in every way, and now you say you just want to live peacefully in the present. But how do you live peacefully at the present? Every night you have to sleep on the floor, and Cristian doesn’t even look at you. What do you want to do, Serena? You really can’t leave a man like that?”

Yes, he certainly wasn’t great with her.

Sometimes, though, he was good and gave her attention.

She had never met anyone like him. When she was in need, he appeared like a god to help her. And even as she talked about his being so arrogant, Serena could not restrain her feelings toward him.

“Serena, don’t tell me you like him?”

“Yes,” nodded Serena, “That’s for sure.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

At these words, Alice opened her eyes wide in disbelief, staggered, “You….”

Finally admitting the truth, Serena immediately felt much better.

“I know I probably sound ridiculous to you, but only I know what I went through emotionally, too. So… if you really care about my happiness, stop here.”

“Serena!”

“All right, let’s end it here for today. In the past I was wrong for suspecting you, however… Please don’t go near Cristian again. Not because I don’t trust you, but I would like to avoid gossip. Do you understand me or not, Alice?”

Alice did not answer and just looked at her unsatisfactorily, biting her lip at the same time.

“I really don’t understand. How can you like him? Besides, you will be divorced soon!”

“You’re right,” Serena nodded with a bitter smile, “In a few months I will leave the Ferrari family. I will be with him for only a short time, so… I want to see him again for these few months and then, when the time comes, I will quietly leave.”

“Serena… Why don’t you think about it some more? And then… Are you really going to leave?…. And what are you going to do with the baby? Where are you going to go? Have you really never thought that maybe Leonardo is also looking for you?” insisted Alice.

“No need to think about it. I don’t have any feeling towards him anyway. And I don’t like the idea of using the child’s excuse to tie myself to a person,” Serena said in a quiet voice.

Seeing that there was no way to convince Serena, Alice clenched her fists tightly. She thought that by convincing her to partner with Leonardo, she would finally get to be with Cristian. However, now… Serena had even admitted that she had feelings for Cristian.

Would she be able to wait until the day Serena left?

No.

Absolutely not!

Serena’s exit from the Ferrari family was still several months away. They had only been married a few months, and she had already begun to have feelings for Cristian. If Alice did not do something now, who knew what might happen in the future. In case of new changes, it was doubtful that Alice would be able to take control.

“Okay, it’s already getting late. Now I will go home, but remember what we said to each other,” said Serena.

Alice stared at her back and could not stop herself from grinding her teeth.

She could not accept her staying beside Cristian, and silently taking care of him!!!
