Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 509: Meeting an acquaintance

Turning the corner, Serena did not see Manuel, but he did not care. The supermarket was so big, and it was on the third floor, so she didn't worry at all, thinking Manuel was having fun hiding.

Pushing a shopping cart, Serena said, "Manuel, I wanted to call your uncle, but he's in a bad mood these days and I'm afraid of him. I treat you so well and take you to the supermarket, so please call me.

-In addition, don't you think it is more appropriate for you to call him? Since you are a child and he loves you very much, he will not be angry with you, but with me, you know we are still discussing. -We can't take any chances, right?" Do me this favor, Manuel, call your uncle, okay?

Although Serena said a lot, she did not receive any response from him.

Serena frowned slightly, "Manuel? Why don't you answer? Are you angry with me? Okay, I know it was wrong, come out and I will call your uncle in person.

However, there was still no response. Serena felt a little strange, so she started looking for him by pushing the shopping cart.

Turning often without seeing him, she became nervous.

She just didn't see Manuel later around for a while and Serena was a little nervous.

-Manuel, stop making trouble, come out now.

-If you don't come out, I'll be angry.

-I am really angry.

However, there was no response.

Serena felt so nervous that she turned pale. The more nervous she became, the tighter she clutched the cart. Finally she put it aside and started looking everywhere for it. -Manuel, where are you?" said Serena, murmuring his name.

But he did not answer her, and Serena was even more nervous.

"Could he be...?" she thought.

She stopped suddenly because she thought of Elsa with whom she had met today at the police station.

"Although she confessed to me about what she had done, I could still see a lot of hatred in her eyes," Serena thought.

"But if she is capable of committing such a crime, can I still trust her?

Manuel had always behaved well and considerate, how could he leave her?" Serena thought.

"What the hell is going on?" thinking about it, tears began to flow in her eyes.

She stopped suddenly as she passed around the next corner, because she saw such a small figure and so familiar.

She was stunned for a few seconds and rushed to hug him tightly.

-Manuel, what a scare you gave me. It was all my fault, don't do it again, do you hear me?

Hugged by Serena, Manuel did not regain consciousness for several seconds, he looked at her without saying anything.

-Do you hear me? Don't hide anymore, promise me?

Seeing him in silence, Serena fixed her eyes on his and repeated.

Blinking, Manuel wrapped his arms around her neck and said, -Mom, I'm fine.

Seeing him so small and weak, Serena decided to never let him out of her sight and pulled him into her embrace.

-Don't scare me like that again. You really scared me and I don't support it.

-Mom.

- Serena Gallo?

With Manuel in her embrace, hearing her old name, Serena froze in horror.

"This voice..." Serena struggled to recover her memory.

She raised her head slightly and saw an acquaintance.

She felt desperate as if she had been attacked in the heart with a sharp knife.

She paled and a chill ran through her body.

How come.

Why did she meet this person here?"

"Mommy?" Seeing her distracted, Manuel called her in a low voice.

Hearing his soft voice, Serena soon regained consciousness.

She tried to calm herself, thinking of remedies, and stood up, telling the caller with a forced smile, "I think you have the wrong person."

After speaking, Serena went in another direction with Manuel, who knew nothing about what had happened and felt a lot of pain because he held her hand so tightly. Seeing her so pale, Manuel decided to keep quiet.

While he, Leonardo, surprised, with a bottle of wine in his hand, stood there looking at their distant figures.

Of course it was the face in memory. Although she had become more beautiful than before, her gaze and dark, cold eyes remained the same.

"It was her.

There was nothing wrong with it. It was her.

But... she said I mistook her.

How come?

Thinking about it, Leonardo put the bottle back on the shelf and ran after them.

Passing around a corner, Serena resumed the cart she had left behind, followed by Manuel, who glanced at her from time to time, without saying anything.

In that instant, Serena was confused.

It would never have occurred to her to meet him, who, moreover, had already seen her son.

"What is he going to do, keep looking for me?" thinking about it, Serena became even more confused.

All she wanted at that moment was to get out of here as soon as possible.

But things never followed people's wishes. After Serena walked for a while, she heard footsteps coming from behind her, and soon someone grabbed her wrist, "Serena?"

-You are Serena, aren't you?

Serena froze without being able to breathe. She stopped there but did not turn her head.

-Sir, I said you have the wrong person.

Her voice gradually became cold, cold as ice.

Leonardo looked at her with confusion.

-Sir, I ask you to let me go.

Hearing this, he slightly let go of her hand, but he was still at her side and said, -It's been five years since we've seen each other and you, you don't even say goodbye to me. When you left without saying goodbye, did you ever think anyone would care about you?"

His words silenced her, then she turned her head and looked at him.

She felt neither love nor hate toward this man.

In fact, she remembered him from time to time, although Alice told him that he was the main character in what happened that night, which he refused to accept.
