For Serena, that news was certainly a shock that took her a long time to recover.

"What does it mean to be legally husband and wife?"

Serena felt her heart almost stop beating.

Cristian rose to his feet. Straight, slender legs stopped in front of her, reaching out to brush back her bangs and saying in a soft, graceful voice.

-In these five years, we have not divorced at all.

Serena quickly raised her head with difficulty breathing.

What do you mean?

-Do you think you have the freedom to be my wife or not?

About this, Cristian's gaze became more meaningful, and the depths under his eyes were emotions she could not understand. He took a step closer, reached out to support her shoulders, leaned forward, and blew softly into her ears. -I will not leave you alone. And it is even more impossible for me to raise my hand up in mercy. Because you have always been my wife. You have no right to cancel this relationship. Serena was stunned for three full seconds. She took a big step back and then shouted in great anger.

-Why don't I have the right to cancel it? We have been five years apart. Even if I don't get your consent, I can divorce you!

The loud voice drew stares from the others around him. Cristian didn't care. Even if others stood in front of him and looked at him, he would not object.

Serena cared on ordinary days, but perhaps what Cristian had said on the right had made her angry, so she had responded to him in a particularly angry way that she didn't care how he was seen.

It was really unpleasant for the word divorce to come out of her mouth.

Cristian stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

-If divorce were as simple as you think, then you would not have been my wife for the last five years.

Hearing this, Serena slowly opened her eyes, -Are you checking me out?

Cristian remained silent, looking at her deeply.

After a while, Serena let go of his hand forcefully and staggered backward. What had happened was too sudden, and she needed to turn back to ask Matthew what had happened.

Serena turned and walked away. Cristian wanted to run after her, but when he saw her pale face, his steps stopped where he was.

He had just given her the news, she would need time to digest it, and it would be good to leave her alone.

Thinking about it, Cristian looked at Luca at his side, "Take her home. Take care of yourselves during the trip."

п

Luca nodded and quickly followed her.

Serena wanted to take a cab home alone, but Luca went to meet her.

-Mrs. Shelly, get in. It's harder to wait for a cab here. Besides, I brought her here. Mr. Cristian asked me to take her home.

Serena's eyes squinted when she heard his name, and then she looked up at Luca who was sitting in the car, -Is it true what he said? Hearing her, Luca stopped without answering.

-You are his assistant. You know everything about him. Tell me, is it true what he said? Haven't I been divorced from him for the past five years? Finally, Luca nodded with a slightly stern face. -Yes.

Serena felt all her heartstrings breaking and could not breathe uncomfortably. What were the years when she was abandoned?

A joke?

-Mrs. Shelly, come up.

Luca urged her.

Serena ignored him and stepped forward on her own, leaving a sentence, -No need. Leave me alone.

-But......

-Don't follow me.

Her slender back revealed determination. If he had followed her, he would not still be in the car.

Thinking about it, Luca had to call Cristian and inform him of the current situation, "Mr. Cristian, what should I do now? You don't want to come in and I have no other choice.

There was a long silence. And a moment later, Cristian coldly said, "Follow her until she gets home safely."

-Luca hung up his cell phone and drove slowly behind Serena.

It was a seaside restaurant, so it took Serena a long time to get to the side of the road. The sea breeze tousled her long skirt and black hair. In addition, her good looks and slim body meant that people driving by could not help but stop and ask her questions.

-Please, where are you going? Do you need a ride?

Serena looked at the man indifferently without even answering.

She did not need to show any courtesy for such a casual flirtation on the road.

Although her eyes were indifferent because of the handsome face, the man was struck by the look of arrow.

-Bella, don't be so indifferent. It's hard to replace a cab here. Most of them are tourists. My brother and I are the only people in my car. I will definitely take you wherever you ask if you come in. Serena ignored him, but that was a gnat.

-Go inside. Okay? How long will it take you to keep walking? You're so skinny, you'll definitely get tired.

-She stopped and stood where she was.

The man laughed furtively, thinking she was convinced, and decided to go inside. As he was about to open the door to greet her with a smile, Serena said a word coldly. -Go.

The smile froze on the man's face, as if he had not expected it, and remained there for a long time.

By the time he reacted, Serena had moved away from him.

-Hahaha, even Emiliano was rejected today. How strange, weren't you very good at picking up women in the past? His friend in the passenger seat was still teasing him.

Emiliano, who was being teased, became a little disgruntled and then scolded him:

"Shut up. I like being like this.

-She's beautiful, the pity is that ... she doesn't pay attention to you," his friend continued jokingly.

Emiliano stared at the slender figure in front of him, "I'm determined to win her over," Luca had been following Serena all day.

Luca had been following Serena the whole time. He had even seen her when they had flirted with her, but he had thought there was nothing wrong with that, so he had not reached out to stop her. After a while he noticed that the car was also following Serena. It was not clear why he had not noticed Luca's car.

Luca, frowning, wanted to stop them or call Cristian. Serena pulled over to the side of the road and stopped. She waved her hand toward a vehicle.

It was a passing truck. The driver appeared to be an honest person and stopped when he saw her.

-Ma'am, what's wrong?

-Uncle,II Serena smiled, -I want to go to the urban area, could you give me a ride?"

The driver seemed to be a little cautious. Looking around, Serena knew what was bothering him and could only say, "I came with my friend, but he didn't have time to drive me back, so I had no choice but to walk home alone. Could you give me a ride out of pity? I'll pay you back.
