Chapter 301 Weren’t you looking forward to it?
Or, she wanted to take care of her feelings after what had happened with Alice.
Serena tightened her red lips and did not speak again.
Moreover, she forgot to read those papers.
Leonardo looked at her from the rearview mirror and asked her gently as he drove, “Do you have a good relationship with Anna?”
Hearing this, Serena came back to herself and nodded, “Of course.”
“No wonder that girl does so much for you. She is indeed a person worthy of deep friendship.”
Serena could not help but smile. “Yes, she is more loyal than I thought, I didn’t expect her to be so kind to me.”
“We are about to arrive at the party, you have already prepared the dress, haven’t you?”
“Yes.”
“I haven’t yet, later I’ll go pick out my dress, you can do your makeup in the meantime, so we’ll leave on time. I have calculated the time. Don’t worry, we won’t be late.”
Serena had no particular reaction except to nod.
In her hands she held the box with the dress and documents about the investigation of Alice.
She should have opened the envelope as soon as she got into the car, but she didn’t know why, not then it didn’t really occur to her to open that envelope.
After driving in silence for a long time, Leonardo noticed it and asked, “Aren’t you going to open it?”
Hearing this, Serena was stunned, and then smiled slightly, “Don’t worry.”
Leonardo smiled, “Earlier when we were eating I thought you were in a hurry. So… Wasn’t that the thing you were interested in?”
How could she not be interested?
Serena took the documents. At first she was worried about those papers, but when she pulled them out, she began to think about the look of Cristian outside the door that had haunted her up to that moment….
She almost seemed to have the feeling that the two things were there in front of her, and at a glance choose which one was the more important.
If it were true that Alice had become pregnant with Cristian, then…. She would have chosen the former.
Anna always said she was not brave, because she had been hurt before, she was terrified of being betrayed, like a shadow on her marriage, if she had believed Cristian, such a thing would not have happened.
So she-was there still time to believe him if she wanted to?
Thinking about this, Serena quickly grabbed her cell phone and sent a message to Anna.
If Anna had gotten into the car with them, they could have communicated more quickly.
Reading the contents of the message, Serena wrinkled her nose and almost cried.
She had to reach out and cover her mouth. There were faint cold tears in her eyes, but at the same time they were also smiling.
“Follow your heart. If you choose to believe him, it means you have bravely faced your feelings. I am very happy for you. And Serena, no matter what choice you make, I will be on your side, be brave!”
That’s right, she should face her feelings and be braver.
To risk such a high gamble, there are two possibilities. At worst she would be back to square one, she had nothing to lose.
Serena smiled and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes, then put those important documents in her bag; she would wait until she got home to destroy them.
Leonardo noticed her movements. At that moment, he felt a little disappointed and drained. A moment later, he smiled bitterly and said, “It would seem that you really like it.”
Hearing those words, Serena paused. A moment later, she nodded, “Yes, I do.”
There was nothing particular to admit.
Leonardo said nothing. A strange silence fell in the car until they reached their destination. Leonardo accompanied her to do her makeup, then went to choose clothes.
Serena told the makeup artist that she was in a hurry, so she asked her to be quick. The makeup artist sent her to get dressed first so that she would not ruin her makeup by getting dressed.
As she was being made up, she noticed that the makeup artist was skillful and quick, but she thought it still took a long time.
The moment they heard Leonardo’s voice outside, the makeup artist withdrew her hand.
“Very good, young lady, you look really beautiful.”
Serena came to her senses and looked at herself in the mirror. She saw that the work was already finished.
But she did not look very closely. After thanking her, she got up and left.
Leonardo waited for her outside; when she came out, a touch of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
The dress Cristian had prepared for her was silver, completely different from the way she usually dressed. The silver light highlighted her white skin. Between her makeup and dress, she looked like a princess out of a painting.
When the light hit Serena, Leonardo had a strange impression.
She was a true princess, she should have been born into royalty, loved and flattered by all.
But her family did not expect her to have such a temperament, it is a very rare thing.
After taking two steps, Serena stumbled and almost fell forward.
Leonardo changed his expression. He quickly stepped forward to pick her up, “Are you okay?”
Serena was so startled that she shook her head, “I’m fine.”
Several people standing to the side also paled in fear, but were relieved to see her saved, fortunately.
“Just as well.” Leonardo let go of her hand and made her stand, “Since you are ready, we can go.”
“Yes.”
Serena walked out with Leonardo and got back into the car.
Walking to the car, Leonardo unbuttoned her dress and took it off, “Put it on. It’s very windy at night. Your dress is not heavy enough.”
Seeing the dress, Serena declined, “Thank you, but it won’t be cold when we get into the car.”
With that, she opened the door herself and leaned over to sit down.
Leonardo’s hand holding the dress remained suspended in midair. A moment later, she put the dress back on without saying a word.
She gave a bitter smile. Leonardo. She likes Cristian. What are you still thinking about?

The time was approaching, the party was about to start.
At that moment, the banquet hall was very lively. The employees were preparing for the banquet. However, on the second floor there was a wheelchair on which Cristian was sitting, gazing coldly at the front door.
That woman… She had not yet arrived and had not even called him.
How cruel.
Luca, who was next to him, probably felt Cristian’s sadness and could not help but say, “Cristian, are you waiting for Serena? She will come. I sent her the address.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Hearing those words, Cristian came to his senses, sneered with his thin lips and said, “What should I care if she comes or not?”
Luca: “Weren’t you looking forward to her?”
