Virginity in second marriages by Angela

"Me?" said Serena who was startled "Aren't these what you like?"

"It's you I was looking at them for." Anna kept coaxing her to take a pair of earrings, while the clerk from the back watched them in curiosity.

Everyone's gazes in this shop seemed to be on them, and Serena was a little pale and said in an avoidant tone, "I don't want them. I won't wear them." "Ah, if you don't like them, can you try them on for mr? My earings are difficult to take off. Come on and help me try them on!"

Serena was speechless.

"Try them on!"

Cristian, in a wheelchair, heard the talk of the two and unconsciously lifted his gaze, meeting Serena's eyes.

She was wearing a simple white shirt today and wore her hair tied in a ponytail to her waist. She looked particularly fresh and like a capable person.

He seemed to have tasted her earlobe, sweet and incredibly soft.

For a really long time, he had not seen her wearing superfluous jewelry. She never touched things he had the maids prepared. Generally she had an understated style.

Cristian looked at the earrings. They were small and round, exactly like her lobes. If she had worn them...

Thinking about it, Cristian's gaze became deep, and he said in a rough voice, "Try them on."

He, too, wanted to see how she looked with those earrings.

Initially, Anna asked Serena to try them on tentatively, but upon hearing Cristian's words she immediately took Serena's hand, "Did you hear what Cristian said? Try them, come on!" Serena, feeling compelled, took the earrings and said, "All right...."

She carefully took the earrings in her palm, then stood in front of the mirror and tried them on.

Once they were on, those small, round beads immediately matched her skin, and even her pale ears blushed a little.

"How beautiful!" exclaimed Anna. Then, she pressed on Serena's shoulder to turn her toward Cristian, "Look, Mr. Cristian, don't they look great on her?"

Cristian looked into her eyes and looked at the set of earrings and her lobes. His throat tightened and barely replied.

"Buy them!" suggested Anna.

The clerk was happy to hear these words and said, "Yes, miss, this is our latest model on the market. The style is unique, but this is the last one. If you like it, you can buy it now." Serena looked at Cristian nervously. She saw herself reflected in the depths of his eyes. Suddenly she thought of something and turned to the clerk. "Those..."

"Miss, those earrings are on promotion, so they have a good price."

She took out the calculator and then showed the price to Serena.

As soon as Serena saw the price, she immediately changed her facial expression.

Too expensive...

She couldn't afford them at all.

Anna nodded smugly, "The price is really good. Just buy them."

"Don't..." Serena quickly stopped her and whispered, "You're crazy. I don't have that much money."

Anna, giggling, turned to look at Cristian, "Isn't Mr. Cristian here? You don't need to pay."

Finished speaking, she said something in Serena's ear. After hearing those words, Serena was paled and shook her head resolutely.

"Don't wrap them. I don't need them for the moment." She reached out her hands and made to remove her earrings.

Cristian, looking at her, unconsciously stopped her and said, "Keep them. I'll buy them for you!"

For a moment, Serena paused, but then quickly took off the earrings and put them back on the counter, "I'm really sorry, but I don't like these earrings so much. Just put them back." Anna: "But, Serena?"

Cristian frowned. What was she doing? That pair of earrings looked great on her.

The clerk took the earrings and was surprised, "Miss, these earrings look really good on you. Are you sure you don't want to think about it?"

"Thank you, no need." After thanking her, Serena led Anna away from the store, but halfway through she thought of something and went back to get Cristian.

Actually, the reason she did not want to accept those earrings was very simple. She could not afford them. She did not intend for someone else to buy them for her, and especially that someone else was Cristian.

The two were incompatible and she did not want to be inferior to him in the remaining time.

After leaving the jewelry store, Anna was still depressed at the thought of why she did not want them. However, seeing that she didn't feel good, Anna thought she'd better not to ask too many questions. She could read people's faces. And just one look. Anna could know that Serena was not well. Moreover, she no longer talked about shopping, but suggested going out to eat something.

Serena did not respond, but she looked toward Cristian and said, "Can you?"

Cristian was still thinking about those round jade earrings. He lifted his eyes and looked at her. His gaze fell right on her small and round lobes, then his gaze became deeper, "Yes, I can." "Well, there's a great barbecue nearby. It's good and cheap, but will Cristian be used to it?"

Serena changed her expression. Barbecue? Won't that be too common? Would that noble Cristian ever agree to eat this kind of food?

"If not, let's leave it for today. Make it another day..."

"We can go." Cristian interrupted her again.

Anna's eyes widened and she said, "Can we really go, Mr. Cristian?"

Cristian suddenly grabbed Serena's wrist, "Do you want to eat?"

Serena was caught off guard: "???"

Watching that scene, Anna thought that the atmosphere between the two was ambiguous. Was Cristian referring to Serena's situation?

"No, no problem" Serena replied dryly.

Once decided, Anna personally took them to the nearby store. Once inside, Serena realized that the decor was nice. There were no smells, and everything was tidy and clean.

After looking for a place to sit, she took a piece of paper to clean the table and discovered that there was no oil stain.

The environment looked good that Cristian would not be uncomfortable.

Thinking about this, Serena cast a glance at Cristian. His eyes sparkled as he looked at her.

Serena looked at him for a few seconds before looking away, as if she had a guilty conscience.

Indeed, barbecue was Serena's favorite. She loved it before she got pregnant, but she had not eaten it since marrying Cristian. She did not expect to have the opportunity to eat it today or to eat it together with Cristian. She felt as if the world was suddenly fantastic.

"That...do you want to add chili?"
