Virginity in second marriages by Angela

For a moment, Serena thought she had made a mistake.

For she had actually seen the pair of earrings Cristian had bought at Alice's ears.

"What do you want?" The waiter's voice drawing Serena's attention toward him, she finally recovered and awkwardly tightened her lips, "Give me a cup of coffee."

"All right." After the waiter left, Alice looked at Serena with a sweet smile and shook her hand intimately, "Serena, thank you, you are so kind. Although you obviously don't like sweets, but you still always want to eat them with me. We will always be best friends."

Serena's gaze could not help but fall on Alice's ears.

That pair of pink earrings was lovely on which flowed a line of light. Serena had fallen in love with them at that moment, too, but later.

She could not help but ask, "Your earrings..."

Hearing this, Alice seemed to recover, reached out a hand and touched the pair of earrings on her ears, and then curled her lips, "Aren't they pretty?"

Serena did not know how to respond, so she nodded without showing any expression.

"They are pretty." She smiled slightly, but that was a bitter smile that came from the bottom of her heart and only she knew it.

After speaking, Serena saw Alice reach out and hold her face, fiddling with her own earrings with a shy expression, "I also think they look good on you."

Serena felt terrible, clenching her hands under the table sinking her nails into her flesh. Then she loosened her grip and looked at the pair of earrings, asking, "Is that you...did you buy those?'

Alice seemed to be taken aback, then shook her head, "Of course not...it was a gift!"

Saying this, Alice blushed even more, her face fully showing her shyness.

Serena knew what she was, she seemed to be falling in love.

It was just that...was Serena thinking at that moment that that pair of could not have been given by Cristian? Even if Cristian had thought about it, wouldn't Alice have been that kind of person? But after learning that Cristian was her husband, she how could she have received this gift from him and still be so shy, she was not that kind of person.

Thinking about this, Serena gave a sigh of relief and let go.

"Congratulations." Serena congratulated her sincerely, thinking in her heart that this must be just a coincidence.

Hearing her congratulations, there was no expression on Alice's face, then she blinked and suddenly looked at Serena calmly.

Serena noticed this strangeness of hers and could not help but ask, "Is something wrong?"

Alice asked loudly, then shook her head and denied it. Then the waiter brought dessert. Alice took the spoon and took some of the cream, "Very good."

Serena was brought her coffee and bitterly took a sip.

Although she consoled herself, she still cared, that pair of earrings... Was it really just a coincidence?

When the two were about to part, Alice suddenly took Serena's hand and asked in a low voice, "Serena, I want to tell you something, but...I don't know how to start."

Hearing this, Serena saw the space between her eyebrows and the slight tremor in her voice.

"What problem?"

Alice stared at her for a while, her expression not as kind as before, but rather a little sadder. From the look on her face it seemed that he had done something unpleasant to her. Serena was surprised by this look.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore." Alice sighed and lowered her eyes to swallow the words she wanted to say.

Serena:"... Tell me, in our relationship we can tell each other everything."

Alice shook her head, "The time is not ripe yet, I will tell you when the time comes, Serena... No matter when, you have to remember that we are good friends and you have to...believe me!" He said holding Serena's arm tightly and looking at her seriously.

Serena had consoled herself, but at that moment the desire to talk to Alice had suspended her heartbeat, biting her lower lip and looking at Alice embarrassedly she said, "Alice, we are like sisters, surely I will believe you...when will the time be right? What are you hiding from me?

"Nothing, don't think about it, Serena, I will tell you in the future, however you have to believe me, we will always be sisters."

In the end, Alice had still not told her anything, Serena could do nothing, and after parting from her, she returned home in despair.

Halfway there, Serena suddenly remembered that store, so she hastily said to the driver, "Driver, please turn around!"

After Serena told the driver her new address, he took her to her new destination.

After getting out of the car, Serena went directly to the jewelry store she had already been to.

As soon as she entered, she ran into the purchasing clerk who had last time let her try on earrings. The clerk recognized her and smiled immediately when he saw her.

"Good morning."

Because of the incident that day, Serena was still embarrassed and smiled at him.

The attendant spoke first, "Hello young lady, did you come to see the earrings from last time?"

With surprise he had remembered her, Serena could only nod, "Yes."

"Do you want to buy them again?"

Serena shook her head, "I just wanted to ask you something, that pair of earrings..."

"Hello, miss, that gentleman bought the earrings the next day. They must have been bought for you, you will be very happy. Your friend has been here, but I didn't expect you to be here too..." Serena tightened her lips, feeling strangely embarrassed.

"Actually, I just wanted to ask you, that pair of earrings...are there any others?" She was very curious if that pair of earring had the same style, she just hoped it was a coincidence.

"The same style?" The attendant was stunned at first, but only after a moment did he realize what she meant: "Miss, don't worry. Each pair has its own unique design. There is only one pair on the market at the moment."

There is only one pair on the market for the time being?

"For the time being?"

"Yes, our family only produces one product at a time, only after we sell it we might consider making another."

Hearing this, Serena understood this and asked, "So if I want a second pair, how long will it take to get it?"

The attendant thought about it for a while and answered her.

"It takes more than a month from the time of submission and arrival of the product."

More than a month...

Serena did not give up, "Would it have the same style?"

"This is the only pink one for now."

And the only hope left in her heart was dashed.

So... Was Alice's hesitation only about that pair of earrings?

Had the pair of earrings actually been given to Alice by Cristian?

Thinking about this, Serena bit her lower lip and the sky began to turn before her eyes.

For a moment, she felt like she was going to fall, but fortunately the attendant next to her saw that there was something wrong with her look and supported her. "Miss, are you okay?"
