novelxo Chapter 251: I wish I had never married him
"Stop!" shouted Cristian, and Alice halted her steps, but did not turn around.
Cristian's cold voice came from behind her back, "He must not know anything about this matter."
At these words Alice almost felt like laughing: Serena already knew everything from the beginning, but she had never said anything to anyone. She then turned her head and softly told Cristian, "It's okay, don't worry, I won't tell him."
Cristian then, tired of talking, cast a glance at Luca, "Let's go."
Luca was about to push the wheelchair to leave when Alice suddenly said, "Have you ever thought that you can't contain a fire with paper? If one day Serena finds out about this, how are you going to do it?"
So Alice looked at her belly and, biting her lip added, "Besides, I'm carrying your baby."
Cristian hearing this squinted his eyes as if he were facing danger, "What did you say?"
Alice felt her heart race: yes, she was lying, however just now Cristian had done what? If those earrings were really a gift to Serena, that meant that his feelings for that woman were already more than deep, only he may not have realized it yet.
She had to stop them, she could not allow those two people to be together.
Cristian.
Cristian was her man. Since she had already taken the first step, she might as well go through with it: she would not allow anyone, not even Serena, to steal her man!
Luca at Alice's words was stunned: was Alice really pregnant? Wouldn't this...ruin everything?
Alice then placed herself in front of Cristian.
"If you don't believe us, we can go to the hospital right now and do the tests. Or, if you don't care about this baby, I can also go right now to terminate the pregnancy. I certainly don't want to get you in trouble with Serena."
"Mr. Cristian, this..." mumbled Luca.
Cristian raised his head to look at Alice and, moistening his lips, he sentenced, "Until I've seen through this matter, you don't move from here."
"Let's go."
As he escorted Cristian out of the villa, Luca racked his brains: was Alice really pregnant with Mr. Cristian's baby! While Miss Serena was pregnant with another man's baby. Between the two, which one would a normal man choose?
However, he didn't know why either, but in his heart...he always favored Miss Serena. He always had the feeling that that Alice wasn't much of a catch, that she was far too strange.
"Mr. Cristian, what do you think of this matter? Do you by any chance need to send someone to verify that what Alice said is true?"
"Yes, send someone," Cristian said coldly, "Although the place and time are right, it's all too perfect."
Sometimes it is just the too normal that seems strange,
"Regarding Miss Serena on the other hand..."
"She must not know anything about this matter."
"No, Mr. Cristian, I meant, what if this story is really true? Alice and Miss Serena are very good friends, if this thing...came out, it would be a really bad blow to Miss Serena." Cristian thought so too, that's why he wanted to keep her in the dark. In any case, first they had to check whether what Alice had said was true or not. What if by chance she had lied?
Serena once she left the cafeteria, she walked down a cobblestone avenue; since there was a school nearby, there was a constant coming and going of kids cackling and playing in the street. Distractedly, she remembered when she and Alice were attending college: the two of them alone were fine. At that time, because of her own family situation, Alice had been bullied by many of their classmates, plus she herself was certainly not suited for making new acquaintances, so it was easy for her attitude to offend someone. Once she had even been severely beaten by her classmates, and it was Serena herself who had helped her.
Following this fact, Alice began to miss no opportunity to be nice to Serena, so much so that eventually the two became inseparable friends, almost two sisters, who always went to school together.
The two friends shared a lot, until Alice's family suddenly appeared and she became Miss Giordano. Their relationship however did not change, in fact, if possible Alice became even better to Serena: she always shared anything with her, and whenever Serena had a problem, Alice was always the first to help her.
She had never regretted being friends with Alice, however, now that she had found out that they were both in love with the same man, Serena could not help but think that this time God had really played a bad trick on her.
Alice was in love with her husband, and it seemed to be reciprocated.
What could she have done? Who could she have taken it out on?
A requited love, would she ever have been able to separate them?
Therefore, she could not blame Alice. However, he could not have forgiven her either. They would never be sisters like before. After all, she was not such a magnanimous person.
And while Serena was deep in these thoughts, her steps suddenly stopped: not far from her, a man had suddenly appeared. Tall and slender, wearing a white shirt, the man stood under the rays of the sun, which, shining on his figure, surrounded him with a gentle light.
Unexpectedly, that man was Leonardo Ferrari. She did not imagine that Leonardo would pop up so many times in front of her.
Looking at his delicate appearance, Serena felt tears ready to flow and, with red eyes, stared at Leonardo. Leonardo for his part, hesitated a few moments before advancing toward her. "Have you solved everything?"
His voice was calm and serene, like that of an old relative who worried about her. Serena would have loved a shoulder to lean on at that moment, however...Leonardo was ultimately Cristian's brother.
And realizing the situation, Serena moistened her lips for a moment, then turned and walked away. As fragile as she could be, she would not need to lean on anyone. Francis, Cristian...
She did not deserve the love of these men. Of any of them...
Something, however, grabbed her hand: Leonardo was now barring her way.
"Are you going to run forever?"
Serena hesitated for a moment, then tried forcefully to break free from his grasp, but Leonardo clutched her tightly to his chest.
"In these two days did he ever look for you? You see, if you were the least bit important to him, he wouldn't have let you go without doing anything!"
His words pricked Serena's heart like a long needle. "Mind your own business," she told him, pushing him away forcefully.
"You say mind my own business, and I don't want to pry. But tell me, though, besides me, who cares about you? Serena, can you turn around for a moment and look at me? I am the person who is always behind you, I am the person who cares about you, I am the person who loves you. Can't you just shift your love from him to me?"
At these words Serena could not turn to him without holding back a laugh, "Apparently your feelings are as quick to appear as they are quick to disappear. Are feelings really so easy to transfer from one persor to another? Is it really enough simply to say it and immediately you succeed? What do you think, that I was the one who wanted to fall in love with him? If just wanting it was enough, then I wish I had never married him!"
