Chapter 234Are you sure?
Hearing that it had fallen out of her coat pocket, Serena knew it was something of Cristian’s. After taking it from Beatrice, she put it back in the pocket.
Beatrice could not help but frown and say with a smile, “Aren’t you curious to know what it is? Don’t you want to open it and see what’s there?”
Hearing that speech, Serena stopped, and looked up to look at Beatrice.
Open it and look?
“I think the box is very small and pretty, even though it’s hers, I think she bought it as a gift, maybe. It’s for you, why don’t you open it?”
“This-isn’t this wrong?” Serena tightened her lips in embarrassment. After all, she was about to open something of Cristian’s without his consent, and besides… Cristian never bought her gifts.
Maybe… he bought it for someone else.
Beatrice took the box directly, “If you don’t open it, I’ll open it. I’m curious to know what Cristian bought.”
Hearing this, Serena opened the small box. She would not be able to stop it.
After she opened the box, she saw a pair of small pink diamond earrings. The pink light made them both wince at the same time. Beatrice exclaimed with surprise, “As it was meant to be, I said she bought it for you.”
Staring at the small, round earrings, Serena’s breathing stopped for a moment.
These earrings…
They were the pair Anna had chosen for her when they went shopping last time. At the time… She tried them on, but the price of the earrings was very high. Serena ended up not buying them. Cristian wanted to buy them for her at that time, but she refused.
And then she left.
Anyway, when had she bought them? Why didn’t he give them to her right away?
She thought back to his deep, sharp eyebrows and the fact that Cristian hardly ever smiles. When he doesn’t speak, he gives people a sense of estrangement. When he does speak, he is always fierce. She could not imagine him buying these earrings and putting them in his coat pocket.
“Looking at your expression, does it look like something is wrong? What’s the matter?” Beatrice asked curiously when she saw her staring at the pink earrings.
Hearing her voice, Serena came back to herself and shook her head, “Nothing.”
She looked away still feeling a strange sensation, why had Cristian bought her those earrings? Obviously-he didn’t hate himself.
“Your complexion is very fair, these earrings look very good on you.” Beatrice put the box in her hand and smiled, “I’ve never seen Cristian buy anything for a girl.”
“I think it’s a misunderstanding. Maybe he didn’t buy it for me.” The box was placed in Serena’s hand. Serena immediately felt like she was holding something heavy. She held it in her hand and then quickly put it back into the box.
Beatrice suddenly had the impression that Serena had suddenly realized something, but because she was shy, she said nothing.
After Beatrice finished cooking, the two ate a very simple dish together. Beatrice was very good at it. Serena ate a bowl of rice. Seeing that Serena had a big appetite, Beatrice said, “You should eat more. You are too skinny. It’s bad for your baby.”
Saying this, Beatrice stood up and filled a bowl with chicken broth, “You look like you are malnourished. Don’t tell me Cristian doesn’t treat you well. You should eat more. If you think what they make doesn’t satisfy your appetite, you can always come to me.”
“Thank you, but… I don’t want to bother you every day.”
“Never mind.” Beatrice smiled, “After all, I am a relative of Cristian.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Hearing about Cristian again, Serena became curious, because according to what Leonardo said, during his childhood Leonardo’s mother did not live in the Ferrari family home, she only went to live there later, giving people the illusion that he was an illegitimate child.
“Is it true that Cristian is said to be an illegitimate son?”
Beatrice suddenly asked.
Serena suddenly came back from her thoughts and looked at Beatrice dumbfounded.
How could she know what she was thinking?
“It’s not true” Beatrice put down her chopsticks, took out a paper towel and gently wiped the corners of her mouth. She said in a gentle voice, “It was Cristian’s father who did not want Cristian’s mother, that is, my sister.”
“My sister’s name is Iris. At that time, Cristian’s father courted her a lot. My sister has always been a good-hearted person. My sister became very attached to him and eventually decided to be with him. The two began to have feelings for each other. But shortly after they got married, Cristian’s father had an affair.”
Beatrice paused and then continued, “Although my sister is sweet, she is very strong. How can a strong woman tolerate her man hurting her? I’m not talking about physical pain, sentimental pain is not good either. My sister is a person can’t accept these things, so…”
“So she did not give Cristian’s father a second chance and left directly, right?”
Serena answered.
After hearing the answer, Beatrice looked at her with an appreciative look and nodded, “Yes.”
“My sister is a strong person. Besides, that man at first told her that he would change. Who knows if he was telling the truth. Therefore, my sister resolutely decided to continue on her way without looking back. Although he begged her again, she did not look back and shed a single tear for that man. Soon after, that seemingly loving man went to live with the woman he had cheated on her with.
“What?” Serena looked at her in amazement, “Amazingly, he went to live with the lover, so…”
“Surprising or not, many men are so fickle . One moment they say they love you and the next second they fall in love with someone else.”
“Of course…” Beatrice suddenly changed the subject, “… Cristian is certainly not such a person. After all, he has always been brought up by his mother. He is very much like my sister. So you don’t have to worry about him loving other women.”
Hearing this, Serena wrung her hands, was Cristian as strong as his mother?
“You’re just afraid that — since he is so strong, he will be more resilient to this marriage, right?”
“Yes, his resilience is an issue, but … The heart wants what the heart wants, and that’s also a problem, don’t you think?”
“Maybe he was resilient in the beginning, but you’re sure of all the things he did, aren’t you? In those times I saw you, you know how he behaved? I, with my own eyes, saw everything.”
“Serena, I know you are a good girl, but Cristian is an emotional person and will be very resilient, so … Are you sure?”
