Chapter 235Are you buying it?
Are you sure?
Beatrice suddenly took her hand, "Maybe it's hard to be with him because of his personality, but I don't think he dislikes you, just you still need time to make things work."
"So I say these words to you hoping that you can be mentally prepared."
Is there a need for time to make things work?
She and Cristian could divorce at any moment. How long does it take for things to work out?
Serena suddenly thought about the pair of pink earrings. Had he really bought them for her or not?
If... He feels any affection for her.
"Remember what I told you, drink more soup."
So Serena drank another bowl of soup urged by Beatrice. When she finished, she got up to help Beatrice clean up. About ten minutes later, Beatrice's cell phone rang. Before she saw the number calling, Beatrice gave Serena a mocking look, then answered the phone.
"Did you remember to call me yes? Do you remember that your wife is here? Yes, we already had dinner, what time are you coming? Okay, then you'll come by later to pick her up." Having said that, Beatrice hung up the phone, then looked at Serena, "According to you, this is not taking care of you? So. if you like Cristian, don't... Don't give up, you know?"
He felt so-so today, he had told her several times, Serena couldn't have missed it, and nodded slightly.
"I know, don't worry, if I can, I will try hard."
"That's very good." Beatrice finally let go and smiled at Serena. They waited for a while, when suddenly from outside the doorbell rang. Beatrice pointed to the door, "Go open the door, he has come to get you.' Suddenly, Serena felt nervous as she realized that he had bought her those earrings. Perhaps he had a hidden affection for her, when Serena thought she was about to see him again, her heartbeat quickened "Go and take your coat with you. Act as if nothing happened today. Wait for him to give you the earrings, okay?" Beatrice, seeing her sitting on the sofa nervously, urged her.
Serena, she had the impression that Beatrice was really a good person. She stood up and thanked her, grabbed her coat and went to open the door.
She took a deep breath. After Serena opened the door, she saw Cristian outside the door, and behind him Luca who looked at her peacefully.
When Serena looked at Cristian, she realized that he was staring at her, and when she then looked down, she saw Cristian's coat that he was holding in his hands.
She quickly handed the coat back to him, "It's yours."
Cristian rippled his thin lips, looked straight into her face, and said in a cold voice, "You put it on, it's cold at night."
Serena thought about it for a while, then put her coat in Cristian's arms and said, "Now let's go back, it's late."
With that said, she took a step forward, but before she could take the second, Cristian grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
"Why in such a hurry? Didn't I tell you to put it on?" Cristian frowned in disappointment, pulled her hand and pushed her into his arms. Then he put the coat over her shoulders. He was close enough to see the wounds on her neck. After he looked at her intently, he pulled her coat tight and accidentally scratched her skin. Then he asked, "Does it still hurt?"
His fingers slipped slightly, Serena could not help but tremble and said, "It's better, much better."
Her voice trembled a little. Cristian frowned, "Why is the voice shaking all the time?"
Serena avoided looking him in the eye and said, "It might be.... Cold. Let's go home soon."
Cristian noticed that she avoided looking at him, but he could not understand why, so he could only tighten his lips, "Hmm."
After that Serena stood up and pushed him to the elevator. Luca closed the door to Beatrice's house. Then the three of them left the neighborhood where Beatrice lived.
After getting into the car, Serena sat down. She sat down so that Cristian could not see her.
Shortly after the car left, Serena heard Cristian ask her a question.
"Why don't you ask me where I went?"
After hearing his words, Serena recovered and thought that the car was too quiet. Thinking about Cristian's question, she replied, "Didn't you take care of the Geneva incident?" Cristian was stunned, then narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "You..."
"So you didn't go there?" Serena looked at Cristian with a suspicious look.
Serena's gaze was cold, now that Cristian was facing her, she remembered the person she had just met, and felt complex feelings, "What if I told you I didn't go?" Serena: "... So what did you do?"
That's enough!
Cristian had the feeling that it was better not to tell her anything until he had thoroughly investigated the situation.
Suddenly he stopped talking and Serena also did nothing more.
But she could not understand, what could Cristian do but this?
"I have my own commitments too, I can't deal with your problems all the time."
Serena: "... I understand."
She looked down, but did not feel sad, because having seen the two earrings and Beatrice's words had made her proud. Perhaps... You could say she was happy. So when Cristian said these words, she acted as if she had not heard him.
That poison-tongued boy had bought her the earrings anyway!
Thinking this, Serena's pink lips couldn't help but rise, and a small smile rose at the bottom of her eyes.
Cristian saw her head almost dangling asleep, but he could not see her face because it was covered by her black hair, so he could not see her expression clearly. Inevitably, Cristian felt irritated.
Suddenly, Serena looked up.
"By the way, I forgot to ask, how is Geneva? Are you and your son well?"
Luca, who was driving, heard and quickly replied, "Don't worry. They are fine. They are not dead, but they are weak and need to be hospitalized."
Serena was relieved to know that they were okay.
Not only was she afraid of hurting others, but she also felt that Geneva was a poor woman, and she didn't want her to die with her child, it would be pitiful.
"However, even if something happened to such a person, he would deserve it. We checked the company's video. She was the one who came specifically looking for something. Even if something really happens, it wouldn't affect her, so don't worry."
At that point Serena did not respond. Cristian looked at her deeply, "Are you worried about her? Or are you pitying her?"
