Chapter 274 Cristian’s ears reddened.
It was the first time.
It was the first time Serena said thank you so sweetly. Cristian felt a warmth throughout his chest. Apparently-this is what it felt like to be liked by someone.
Cristian had never experienced this feeling, but now… He was especially greedy for it.
He had been in the dark for too long, and Serena’s true identity also made him resist a lot.
But day by day they began to get along, he had not expected to be unable to control himself, her body…. It seemed to have some kind of magical power that made him want to protect her.
Cristian closed his eyes, put his big hand on her back, held her tightly, and the two of them squeezed tightly.
At that moment Serena knew that although their bodies were not communicating, it was the moment when their hearts were closest.
In the years to come, even when she was alone, she would always remember this moment.
*
It could be said that Serena and Cristian were in love. Although Cristian did not tell her what had happened with Alice, as his wife, Serena felt. That she should trust him and give him that chance.
So she did not ask any more about Alice, she waited for him to answer her.
However… Cristian still forbade her to go out. He only allowed her to stay in the mansion. He had special staff who took care of her all the time. Cristian would go out to work every day, return at night, and then eat with her. The days passed happily.
When the servants saw that a hostess was added to the villa, they were suddenly busy and every day they thought of ways to please her.
The villa on the viewpoint was very lively. Luke was also happy to see the two of them living in harmony. He thought it would be nice if they continued to be together for a long time.
However, Cristian did not allow Serena to contact the outside world.
So one day Serena asked Cristian to take his cell phone.
“Did you take my cell phone? Give it back.”
Hearing those words, Cristian frowned, “Why do you want the cell phone?”
“I want to contact my friends. They are all worried about me. I need to talk to them.”
Serena thought about Anna. She had not been seen for many days. She should be worried about her, so she had to tell her that she was okay, and she also had many things to say to Anna.
“No.” Cristian declined.
“Why?” Serena asked, “Do I have to live here all my life without ever using my cell phone?”
Cristian squeezed her wrist, “Aren’t you okay with being with me? Who do you want to contact with the cell phone? Leonardo? In fact, he’s been looking for you these days, but I won’t let you meet.”
Leonardo…
Was he looking for her? Serena’s eyes flashed for a moment, then she looked at Cristian’s indifference, and she couldn’t help but lift her lips, “So the reason you confiscated my cell phone is that you’re afraid I’ll contact him?”
Cristian’s pupils tightened and he did not respond.
“Are you jealous?” Serena surprised him with another question.
The servant beside him was standing there. Hearing them teasing each other like that, he could not help but reach out to cover his mouth and chuckle. When he heard that faint chuckle, Cristian turned his face red, his ears had reddened as well.
“What are you laughing about?” he said coldly, “Get out.”
The servants turned pale, but seeing Cristian’s ears all red, they were not afraid, they left giggling.
Only Serena and Cristian remained in the room.
Serena tilted her head and stared at his red ears. Pretending not to understand, she asked, “Why are your ears red?”
Cristian gritted his teeth and stared at her, “Do you do it on purpose?”
“Do what on purpose?”
Cristian sneered and reached out to pinch the underside of her jaw, “Are you still pretending with me? It seems like … today you want to provoke me.”
In the last days together with him, Serena felt braver, because he behaved much better with her. She lifted her lips, “I was just asking.”
“Really?” Cristian leaned closer, “Were you really just asking? You had no other purpose?”
Serena suddenly attached herself to his arm, “Give me back my cell phone. I want to contact Anna. She will be worried about me.”
“Contact Anna?” Cristian narrowed his eyes, “No one else?”
“If your brother is the one you fear I will contact, know that I won’t.” Serena told him so that he would not be suspicious, “How can you be like this? You’re obviously jealous and don’t want to give me the cell phone, but you still won’t admit it. I don’t care if you don’t want to admit it, give it back.”
With that said, Serena reached out her hand to search Cristian’s pocket. Cristian frowned, grabbed her by the wrist and said, “Don’t touch.”
“Then give me my cell phone back.”
“No.” Cristian refused again, and suddenly thought and said, “If you want to see Anna, I can have Luca bring her here.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Bring Anna to see her? There seems to be nothing wrong with that, but.
“Can Anna come? This place…”
“Of course, she’s your friend.”
“So the cell phone…”
“So it is decided.”
Serena: “…”
The next day Luca brought Anna.
When Anna appeared in front of her, Anna still felt how unreal everything was. She stood there looking at Serena, “Mamma mia, I’m not dreaming, am I?”
“What’s going on?”
Anna opened her mouth, “I came all the way here…. Is this the Atlantic mansion?”
“What’s the matter?” Serena looked at her suspiciously.
Anna paused for a few seconds and rushed forcefully to her, “So you’re okay! There’s no problem! And tell me why are you here?”
Serena: “… First let me go, you are strangling me.”
Anna then let her go, “Don’t tell me, you disappeared these days to stay here and enjoy the place? My God, Serena, it’s so beautiful here, and suddenly you call me to come. I was worried about you these days. Instead, you were enjoying it so much.”
Serena looked at Luca not far from Anna. Luca nodded and then withdrew.
Only the two of them remained in the room, Serena took her and sat down beside her.
“It’s not that I didn’t look for you, it’s that my cell phone was confiscated by Cristian, so I couldn’t contact you.”
Anna: “… Why did he confiscate your cell phone?”
Serena stopped and did not speak.
Anna thought, “Don’t tell me… He’s afraid that you will contact other people? Or, have you been arrested?”
Arrested?
It was true, but it was also true that Serena was willing to stay here because her mindset had changed.
Serena smiled and told Anna what had happened in those days.
“So that’s the way it is.”
