Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1044: Lady Serena, at your service!

-What a pity I feel! -Cristian gave an evil laugh and abruptly leaned in to kiss her.

A surprise kiss chilled Serena, but he quickly withdrew his lips before she could react.

"I... This devil stole another kiss from me! " Serena gave a snort, then changed the subject,

-I have important news for you.

Serena then told Cristian about Anna's invitation to the opening, but he remained expressionless as he continued to rub his hair. Finally she said.

-Well, on the day I will show up to congratulate you.

-Can I? -Christian asked, turning his head and looking at her.

Serena unconsciously swallowed as she met his gaze. Seeing that he had forgotten Anna, Serena gave up going to the opening with him. At this point, however, she was forced to nod because of his glances.

The next day, Matteo called Serena to invite her home for dinner. Considering that she herself had not been reunited with her family for so long, Serena accepted the invitation.

Later, however, she wondered about her brother's motives because the invitation had been so sudden: how could he have thought to invite her to dinner at that very moment?

Moreover, last night Anna had told her about the opening. Could there have been a connection between these two events? Could there have been a possibility between Matthew and Anna? If so, she would have been willing to lend a hand so that the two could become lovers.

Serena expressed her doubts and ideas to Cristian, but he did not share the same doubts.

Moreover, he warned her by saying, -You should not interfere in other people's relationships.

This warning annoyed Serena, so she repeated angrily, -I doubt it.

-But... What do you mean? Matteo is my brother; Anna is my good friend; they are both dear to me. Be that as it may, I want the two of them to be in love.

At that moment, Cristian approached her and suddenly hugged her. Then he said gently, -My love, don't insist. If your brother is interested in her, he will make his move. Otherwise, whatever others do will never go well.

-Talk like a veteran," she whispered, lowering her head. However, the head she had just lowered was raised by Cristian.

-Are you forgetting that I was also forced to go on blind dates?

Practice makes perfect.

Serena was a little confused about what he was referring to.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise and exclaimed, -I can't believe it! Have you recovered this part of your memory?

-Yes, but only a small part," Cristian replied, smiling.

-So why didn't you tell me earlier? -he asked.

-I wanted to surprise you, II said Cristian with tenderness in his eyes.

The reality was that he had not fully recovered yet and many things had not come back to him, plus these memories were very messy, so Cristian was afraid that she would not stop asking him, or even worrying.

Hearing him say that he wanted to surprise her, Serena felt a little moved for a moment, but also a little distressed. She knew that Cristian had hidden much of the pain he felt so as not to worry her. While he played along, Serena played along, pretending nothing was wrong. She did everything by accompanying him as usual. For her, the greatest satisfaction was that no more accidents happened to Cristian during the recovery process.

Serena became a little sad and hugged Cristian, pressing her forehead against his and saying tenderly, -We are an old married couple now, no need for surprises.

It was true that they had been together for a long time.

After all, their second child was on the way.

-Old married couple? -Cristian was surprised by her words and savored them carefully, then a smile appeared on his face as he replied, -Aha? We are not old yet, at least not until you and I have gray hair. Serena was amazed; she had never thought about it before. At that moment, she suddenly saw the image of her and Cristian's gray hair. Serena gently rubbed her forehead against his, -Then we have an agreement, we will have to be together until old age, and I forbid you to suffer any more accidents.

-Mrs. Serena, at your command.

The two kissed so passionately, but in the end Cristian controlled his desire.

Serena had no intention of taking Cristian home for dinner because she had much to tell Matteo. Although Cristian's presence would not be an inconvenience, Serena feared that he would leave Matteo out in the open while she talked to him. She told Cristian her ideas, but he wanted to go with her because he did not mind being quiet.

However, she was reluctant to take him even though Cristian had kept his word not to say anything. Cristian's behaviors annoyed her: sometimes he held her hand, sometimes he fixed her hair, sometimes the collar of her shirt, sometimes he wrapped her in her own clothes.

While Serena was chatting with Matteo, Cristian was acting quietly like a child. Serena was so upset that she could not concentrate. Finally Serena could take it no more and accused Cristian in a low voice. -What are you doing?

-Nothing," Cristian replied happily.

-Didn't we agree that I would chat with my brother?

-Yes,II Cristian replied, -Go ahead.

-Do you think you won't interrupt me if you keep your words to keep quiet?

Cristian raised his eyebrows and acted like that was really what he was thinking.

Serena saw how stubborn he was, so she pulled him up, then turned to Matthew and said,

-Brother, I need to show you some things. Go and wait for me in the study and then I will see you later.

Matteo immediately nodded and left.

After Matteo left, Serena tried to push Cristian away as she told him, -You just ate, go for a walk in the garden, it's good for your digestion.

Cristian's body shifted just a little forward from her thrusts. Suddenly, he grabbed her soft hands and asked her out of suspicion, -So many things you have to say to your brother and you can't make me listen? -Will I tell him about Anna, and will you listen, too? -Serena replied annoyed.
