Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1004: I wanted to stop.

After a long sleep, Serena turned over and slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing the strange and familiar surroundings, Serena felt a little confused. Probably because she had just woken up, her mind was still in a state of disarray.

It took her a few moments to regain consciousness and she sat up to look around.

She had felt strange and familiar because she had not been here for a long time, but she had lived here alone long ago.

This was the room where she and Cristian had lived.

After Cristian's accident, she had lived here alone while running the business for Cristian.

Now...

She was back.

Although the interval was not long, for her it was as long as a century.

Serena watched for a while and could not help but regret.

When she sighed, Serena felt a dryness and tickle in her throat, as if she had not drunk water in a long time.

She frowned, remembering what had happened earlier.

She had been on a plane for more than ten hours, but because she had been uncomfortable on the plane, she had slept very poorly. In fact, she had slept less than two hours. So after she got off the plane and had dinner, she actually fell asleep.

She didn't remember anything after that.

But she did know that she had not even drunk water or gargled after eating.

Thinking about it, Serena got out of bed, tied her long hair and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, not knowing how long she had slept.

If she was not pregnant, she would be able to endure this.

After brushing her teeth, Serena felt refreshed. She washed her face and left the room.

-Ma'am, you are awake.

The maid said beside her, -The gentleman asked us to prepare breakfast for you.

-Well, where is it? -Serena asked.

-The assistant came early in the morning to meet the master to go to the office. And he asked me to tell him that if he is sleepy, he should not wait for him, and for the lady to take care of his rest. Ah, he had gone to the office.

"These two are just back in the country, don't they have jet lag?"

"But yes, too much time abroad and no one to take care of things in the company." Serena thought.

She was the only one in charge of the company, and Luca was helping her. Then Serena left, only Luca stayed to do a lot of things in the company.

Being with Cristian for so many years allowed Luca to manage the company's affairs. And he had met with major shareholders and directors. Taking care of business was not difficult for him.

When Serena became vice president, many were not convinced. Managers who had been recruited by Leonardo Ferrari, and even those who had not been recruited, came to the office from time to time. At first it was Luca who helped her.

Serena was not a very strong manager at that time because she was pregnant and worried about Cristian. So it was difficult for her to be able to work eight hours a day, let alone manage things. Only with Luca's help was she able to stabilize.

It was a difficult experience.

After breakfast, Serena went to her room to change her clothes and then called her brother Matthew.

-Cristian has already notified me, and how are you?" asked Matteo on the other end of the phone with concern.

Serena froze for a moment, and thought that Cristian had probably told Matteo that she had not been feeling very well on the plane, and that was why she was asking him. -Don't worry brother, I slept and I'm fresh now.

-Good.

Soon Serena heard a familiar female voice on the other end of the phone.

-Sir, the meeting is about to start.

Matthew frowned. As he was about to say something, Serena said, -Brother, do you have a meeting? Then go, I won't bother you.

With that, she hung up the phone.

Matteo looked at the phone, reached out and pinched his forehead, laughing, "This girl...."

Then he turned and headed toward the conference room with Clare.

-Has the young lady returned? -Chiara asked carefully.

Matthew nodded, -Yes.

Chiara was a little curious, but when she saw Matthew's face, she thought about it and asked no more.

For some reason, after coming back this time, Matteo always made people afraid to approach him, and he was afraid that if he said the wrong thing he would get angry. Matteo rarely got angry; he had always been stable and introverted. Although he could not be approached easily, when approached, he could only sense the dignity of his boss. Now, however, he was completely cold.

What had happened during his time abroad?

Clare had a thousand questions in her head, but she did not know where to start, nor was she able to ask.

But when she saw Matteo answer Serena's phone, her coldness was replaced by tolerance and concern for her loved ones.

After hanging up the phone, he became cold again.

Oh, what the hell happened to him?

***

After hanging up the phone, very bored, Serena sat down by the water. It was winter and instead of putting her feet in the water as she did in summer, she could sit by the water and take in the sun and the view of the sea.

Serena made a video call to Manuel.

Mother and son talked for a long time, then Angelo approached Manuel and they ended the call.

Serena hung up the video and felt sleepy again, so she went back to sleep.

For the next few days, Serena spent her days in such a state of boredom that she completely forgot she had any company.

Until Anna sought her out and told her she wanted to quit.

Only then did Serena remember this important question.

-Why do you want to quit?

Serena looked at Anna incredulously, -You run the business very well, don't you?

Anna shook her head and sighed: -I haven't seen my parents for a long time, so I'm thinking of going after them, and I probably won't be able to run the business for a long time.

Serena half-closed her lips and did not respond.

-Serena, I know it's too much for me to stop now, but...
