Chapter 266: The woman in his life
Luke saw that scene, his expression was calm, after a moment he said, “You saw wrong.”
He said this, reached out and took Anna in his arms and calmly said to her, “I’ll walk you to your room.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Anna was still in shock and before she could react she was dragged away.
When she arrived in her room, Anna was already almost sober.
“Earlier… I saw Mr. Cristian…”
“You’re drunk.” Luca stared at her coldly, “You didn’t see anything.”
“Really?” Anna asked, blinking her eyes, that innocent look of hers made people laugh. Yet she had really seen the man stand up.
What was going on? Wasn’t Mr. Cristian disabled? How could he stand up?
“Yes.” Luca stared at her seriously, “Now you need to sleep, and tomorrow when you wake up everything will be back to normal.”
“Okay.” Anna nodded obediently, then walked to her bed. As soon as she lay down completely on the bed she fell asleep.
Luca who was standing in the room was speechless.
Anna’s breathing became even. After reassuring himself that Anna had indeed fallen asleep, Luca breathed a sigh of relief, then left the room and closed the bedroom door. He had a very serious expression on his face.
Luca returned to the living room. Cristian who was in the living room had already returned to the wheelchair, in his arms was Serena, he stared at Luca with a fierce look.
“Did you see me?”
Cristian’s voice was cold and merciless.
Luca nodded, then shook his head, a cold sweat appeared on his back from panic.
“Mr. Cristian, you are too drunk, probably by the time you get up tomorrow you will have forgotten everything.”
Cristian did not say a word, there was an extremely cold atmosphere in the room. Luca hesitated, finally spoke for Anna, “She is a good friend of Miss Serena, if she hurts her, Miss Serena will not be happy.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luca felt a sharp look like a sword on him. He did not dare raise his head to look at Cristian, he lowered his eyes.
“Are you defending her? Luca.”
A cold sweat ran down Luca’s forehead, with a voice that trembled slightly he said, “No, no! I’m just telling it like it is!”
“Ah, the way things are.” Cristian sneered, “I could hurt her already for the fact that she got Serena drunk like this, but…”
But what? Luca wanted to know what Cristian would like to do, but he dared not ask much.
In the meantime time passed, when Luca began to think that this would be the end for Anna, he heard Cristian’s voice: “This time it will be an exception. Stay here and take care of things, you should know the seriousness of the situation.”
Luca was surprised, he immediately raised his head, “Mr. Cristian are you saying you will let her go?”
“I can let her go but you will have to worry that nothing happens afterwards.”
“Yes!” Luca nodded immediately, said in a strong voice, “I will stay and take care of things here, when she wakes up I will ask her questions. Don’t worry Mr. Cristian, I know what to do.”
After getting the answer he wanted, Cristian had no more reason to stay, moreover, the woman in his arms was not standing still for a moment, she seemed to be feeling sick, kept moving and smelled of alcohol and barbecue.
If it were not because she was tender to him, Cristian would have thrown her down directly.
“Stupid woman, you are really disobedient.” Cristian lowered his head and angrily bit her lips.
“Uh…” Serena drunkenly let out a groan of pain, raised her hand to thrash, but before she could touch Cristian’s face, he grabbed her wrist and put her hand down, “I go, you stay.”
“Yes Mr. Cristian.”
Cristian left with Serena; there was silence in the house. The icy atmosphere that previously surrounded the whole room returned to normal after Cristian left.
Luca had cold sweat almost all over his body, the fact that Cristian was not disabled was a secret that only he and Beatrice knew, not even Serena was aware of it.
When Serena was almost about to find out that secret, Luca was scared to death when he heard Cristian say that he would kill her personally.
How did Cristian feel about Serena? In Luca’s eyes, Cristian was in love with Serena, but he still said he would kill her if he only found out.
What about Anna?
She was just an employee; she would have died even sooner.
For that he broke out in a cold sweat from worry, luckily Cristian had finally told Luca to take care of the matter and left Anna alone.
Apparently Mr. Cristian had changed from before, after all, many things he had only said to do but did not really perform them.
And that change most likely had to do with Miss Serena….
Thinking about this, Luke wiped the sweat from his forehead, then turned and entered Anna’s room, looked at Anna who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, shook her head.
Fortunately, she was drunk and a little dumb.
If… she wasn’t drunk, probably….
Luca did not dare to think about it anymore.
On the other side, Cristian took Serena away and they got into the car.
Besides him and Luca there was also the driver with them. The driver opened the car door and pushed Cristian into the car.
“Mr. Cristian, would you like to go home?” The driver asked respectfully and did not dare to look at Serena.
Cristian was confused for a moment, initially wanting to take Serena home.
But… that woman was causing too much trouble lately, if she stayed at home he would not have much time to look after her….
After pondering for a while, Cristian said, “Go to the Atlantic mansion.”
“Yes, Mr. Cristian.”
The driver made a U-turn and they drove off.
Cristian lowered his head and stared at Serena in his arms; she was quieter than before. Her eyebrows were still furrowed and her lips were a little pale but well hydrated.
The Atlantic mansion was Cristian’s private property that no one knew about. He used to go there alone every year on the anniversary of his mother’s death and stay there for two or three days. At that time, however, he was going there early, the driver was quite surprised.
And the most important thing was that Mr. Cristian wanted to take that woman there together.
What did that mean? Could it be that he deep in his heart considered her the woman of his life?
Thinking about it, the driver was slightly astonished.
He had been working for Cristian for a long time and was one of his most trusted men. He knew a little about Cristian’s history but never asked any questions.
