Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

“Ah, okay.” Alice tilted her head slightly, “So… are you coming to eat with us again? Just a little.”

Serena glanced at Cristian.

There was not much expression on his face. When he saw Serena’s gaze on him, he raised his eyebrows slightly. Looking at that expression, she suddenly felt angry.

“No, don’t bother. I’m already full.”

Alice looked at her with a somewhat displeased expression, “Serena, are you really not coming with us?”

“I’m not coming.” answered Serena who lowered her head. Then she concentrated on the work, as if she no longer wanted to continue the conversation. Alice looked at Cristian with some embarrassment, “Mr. Cristian, Serena…”

“It’s okay. Let’s go.” Cristian’s gaze darkened.

“Okay.” Alice nodded, then looked at Serena, “So Serena wait till we come back. I’ll bring you some dessert later.”

Then Alice joyfully pushed Cristian’s wheelchair. Soon the two of them disappeared from Serena’s sight.

After they were gone, the pen Serena held in her hand fell onto the desk.

Serena bit her lip and said to herself, “Serena, don’t think too much. Alice is not that kind of person. They are just going to eat together, besides… she even invited you. You’re the one who doesn’t want to go!”

Yeah, she was the one who didn’t want to go. Why didn’t I go with them? It was obvious that I cared and wanted to go, but why did I refuse?

Serena could not understand what was happening to her. She was very upset. If she knew she would care so much, she just went with them when Alice asked her to.

Serena sighed as she leaned back on the desk.

The elevator door opened,. Serena immediately straightened her back. Were they back so soon already?

She heard hurried footsteps.

Luca arrived quickly and saw Serena still sitting there. He got nervous, “Mrs Ferrari, how come you are still here?”

“What?” Serena raised her head and looked at Luca who appeared unexpectedly in front of her. Why was he here?

She did not know when Luca changed the way he called her. He called her Mrs Ferrari instead of Assistant Serena or Miss Serena. That change Serena had noticed only at that moment.

“You’re always here, aren’t you? Do you know that Mr. Cristian goes out to have a meal?”

Serena was silent for a while, then nodded, “I know.”

“Then what do you do?”

“What do I do?” Serena asked. Disgruntled.

Luca licked his lips, gritted his teeth and stepped forward, “Mrs Ferrari, didn’t you see whom Mr. Cristian goes out to eat with?”

“Alice.” Serena replied.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Then how can you still sit so quietly here?”

Serena said nothing.

She did not answer his question, just stared strangely at Luca. How came he now seem to be acting like Anna.

Luca: “Mrs Ferrari, I don’t want to preach you, but you are Mr. Cristian’s wife. Now he and Alice go to eat together. How can you sit here and do nothing? Aren’t you afraid that she will one day take him away from you?”

Luca said this with a great effort, because he did not know what consequence of saying those words would bring. But he knew that if he did not say them, Mr. Cristian’s wife might become someone else. It will be a real tragedy.

Luca really didn’t like Alice. Although she belonged to a wealthy family and she was pretty, but… she was still Mrs Ferrari’s friend. Stealing her friend’s husband was really shameful.

After Luca’s words, Serena’s expression changed. She frowned and stared at Luca who was in front of her, “Luca, do you know what you are talking about?”

“Of course I do. Mrs Ferrari, don’t you understand yet? Miss Alice and Mr. Cristian have been too close lately. Also, it’s bad to say but, she seems to be continuously seducing Mr. Cristian.”

“Impossible!” Without even thinking about it, Serena denied Luca’s hypothesis.

“How impossible?” Luca said again, “I am a man. I can clearly feel whether she is seducing Mr. Cristian or not. Do you think you know better than me how a woman seduces a man?”

Those words left Serena speechless for a while, then she calmed down and said, “Although I cannot know better than you the way a woman seduces a man, but don’t forget that I am a woman. I also know how a woman seduces a man. Besides, I know Alice better than you. She will never do such a thing.”

“Then how come you’re sitting here and look down?”

“I…”

“Isn’t it because you saw Mr. Cristian and Miss Alice together and you feel upset? Okay, let’s say Miss Alice doesn’t have those intentions, but shouldn’t you nip it in the bud?”

Nip it in the bud? Alice had been my friend for so many years. How could I should treat her as if she were a husband stealer? I would betray our friendship.

“Mrs. Ferrari, I already said what I want to say. If you are not careful now, then when she really wants to seduce Mr. Cristian, it will be the end of your friendship.”

Serena lay down again, looking like a deflated balloon, “Okay Luca, that’s enough. I trust Alice. You can go and do your work. Hey what are you doing?”

Before she could finish her words, Luca suddenly grabbed her and pulled her up, then pulling her towards the elevator.

“Luca, what are you doing? Let me go!” Did Luca want to take her to see Cristian and Alice? But she had already refused to come with them. If she went there, it would be too embarrassing.

Thinking about that, Serena tried to free herself, “Luca let me go now. If you want to stop them, you can do it yourself. Don’t take me with you. It’s you who are suspicious of them, not me.”

“But you are Mr. Cristian’s wife. If you don’t go, who else should go?”

“Whoever wants to go there. I don’t want to go there.”

The elevator door opened. To avoid being dragged into the elevator, Serena clutched the door of the side.

“Mrs. Ferrari, I beg you. Come with me.”

“I don’t want to.” Serena shook her head, but Luca’s strength was too great that he removed Serena’s clinging hand and pulled her into the elevator.

The elevator door closed and Serena saw that a bruise appeared on her arm.

Luca touched his head with embarrassment and said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Ferrari. I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just that… I’m really worried.”

Such bruise and you didn’t do it on purpose?
