Chapter 146: Check your body
At that moment, Alice no longer felt any guilt. On the contrary, she was proud of her intelligence. She lifted her lips and reminded Serena, “Serena, the food will get cold. Eat quickly. After you eat, I’ll help you set up, then we’ll get back to work soon.”
Serena, you can’t blame me for separating from Cristian.
The point was that you and Cristian were too different. You would never be happy together.
Rather it was better for someone like me to be by his side. But if Cristian was really that good to you and didn’t despise your company, then I would think it was better for you.
“No, you’ve already gone to the trouble of bringing me food. You can come home after dinner.”
Serena smiled at her.
Alice insisted on staying.
Serena could do nothing but make her stay to help. The two were busy until ten o’clock in the evening. Alice looked at the empty building and suggested to Serena, “I have the car. I can drive you home.”
Serena, who was still busy, looked up and looked at the time. It was already past ten o’clock. Even if she still wanted to go ahead, she could not force Alice. She nodded and got things ready to go.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
By the time Alice took Serena home, it was already past eleven o’clock at night. Looking at the quiet night sky, Alice suddenly said, “Serena, my brother told me…”
Hearing this, of Serena stiffened her fingers, and then said, “What…?”
“I’ll tell you in no uncertain terms. That man is Leonardo!”
Alice roared that sentence before Serena opened the door. A thin layer of sweat poured from her forehead, and then she clutched the steering wheel.
After hearing that sentence, Serena was completely stunned. She was so shocked that she did not react for a long time.
She thought she had heard wrong.
Was the name Alice had just said Leonardo?
She looked at Alice and her lips trembled a little, “Alice, why did you suddenly mention Leonardo’s name?”
Alice did not speak, but looked at her.
Serena bit her lips, rearranged her confused thoughts, and whispered, “It’s late. Go back and rest.”
“Serena, that button is Leonardo’s.”
As soon as Serena raised her hand to open the door, she heard Alice’s words coming from behind her. At that moment, Serena felt like her head was going to explode.
How could this be Leonardo?
Was she teasing her?
“I know this news might shock you… but… it really is Leonardo. At first I was hesitant whether to tell you or not, but after thinking about it these two days and listening to what you said this afternoon, I suddenly thought that you really get along well with Leonardo. Only tonight I found the courage to tell you.”
Serena did not speak.
Alice did not stop and said, “Of course, I know you have to wait a while to accept it…”
Serena suddenly turned her head and said in a worried tone, “Are you kidding? The person that night didn’t have the same behavior as Leonardo at all!”
“Serena, there are many ways for a person to act. Of course, when faced with different people and situations, he will act differently. Maybe he usually seems kind, but in reality he is…”
“Impossible!” Serena suddenly interrupted her by shaking her head.
Alice sighed, “Anyway, I have already answered you. There is still time. You can sleep on it.”
Serena looked at her for a moment, told her to drive carefully, and got out of the car.
It was the first time that she had returned so late since she had been married to Cristian. The house was quiet. There were only a few maids working the night shift. When they saw her coming back, they were a little surprised, but they greeted her.
Serena at the moment was still a little lost because of what had just happened, so she just nodded and went upstairs.
When she reached the door to the room, Serena thought that Cristian must have already fallen asleep.
She slowly opened the door and entered, only to find that the lights were still on and Cristian was sitting in his wheelchair reading a book.
His eyebrows seemed to frown slightly upon hearing that noise.
Unexpectedly, he was still not asleep. It was almost midnight. Did he not have an accurate biological clock?
Serena did not speak to him. She took off her clothes and took a bath.
Serena kept thinking about what Alice had said.
Could it be that the investigation was wrong? That night it was dark and raining. The man’s face was not clearly visible, but she felt that his breath was inscrutable, aggressive and wild.
Leonardo, on the other hand, was very introverted.
They could not be the same person.
But Alice told her that Leonardo was the owner of that button. Serena did not believe it. She thought it was unacceptable.
Leonardo…
He was Cristian’s older brother!
The more she thought about it, the more Serena felt headaches until she felt confused. She turned off the shower, dried herself off, and got dressed.
When she came out of the bathroom barefoot, Cristian was still awake, still reading the book.
Was that book so good that it messed up his sleep period?
Serena thought.
Cristian seemed to read her mind, closed the book and huffed coldly.
“Come here.”
The cold words struck of Serena like a stone hammer. After what had happened in the morning, she was afraid of Cristian. She wanted to stay away from him.
Serena was so nervous that she pinched her own clothes and stopped breathing.
Cristian frowned dissatisfiedly and slammed the book down on the table, “Do you have any questions?”
Serena: “It’s getting late. Rest. I’m not going!”
With that, Serena was leaving.
“Woman remarried, do you believe me that if you don’t come back tomorrow, I will have your blankets thrown away?”
This sentence made Serena stop.
After a while, Serena approached him and said in a cold voice, “What can I do for you?”
“Take off your clothes.”
Serena raised her head as if she heard something shocking and looked at him in disbelief.
Cristian’s face was cold and full of hostility. His eyes had an irresistible majesty. Serena could not help but bite her lower lip and did not speak.
Cristian sighed, suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed her down.
“Let me go!” Serena struggled to free herself, but Cristian grabbed her neck. His voice was cold.
“I said I would check your body every day!”
