Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 592: I don't want to be a victim

Leonardo half-closed his thin lips and looked at her silently, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he said quietly, "It's not that I have a bad memory, but that I didn't lie to you. What exactly are you talking about?

Serena coldly reminded him.

-What happened at the banquet was not because of you? If it was not because of the banquet, how could you have such a big misunderstanding with Cristian?

Although I knew that if there was trust between the two of them, no such problem would have arisen.

However, how could Serena not doubt Leonardo?

After all, at that moment, Alessandro Ferrari wanted her to keep an eye on Cristian, and Leonardo was also there, so she could not believe that he was so innocent.

Leonardo was shocked.

As if he couldn't believe it, there was a hint of astonishment in his wet-as-water eyes, followed by another hurt look.

Finally, he lowered his eyes and began to chuckle wryly and heartbreakingly to himself under his breath. Then and what you thought.

I always thought that. -Serena looked at him, "So can you cancel the cooperation now? No matter what your purpose is, I don't want to be a victim of your struggle again, whether it's five years before or five years later.

Leonardo slowly raised his head and suddenly grabbed her hand laid on the table. Serena was surprised when she felt the temperature of his palm, and unconsciously wanted to push his hand away. However, Leonardo added some force by squeezing it.

He looked at her with lifeless eyes.

The previous warmth disappeared, replaced by a melancholy look.

-She said I directed that show, could...the car accident have been directed by me that year...?

Serena was about to contest and yet, hearing those words, all her movement and strength disappeared, she froze in place.

Thinking about the incident, Serena's face was a little pale with her lips slightly parted, but she could not say a word, looking at Leonardo.

Of course she ... would not have thought it was directed by him.

It was an unexpected incident, but what about before?

Suddenly, Serena felt that what he had just said was too out of character for her. After all, he was protecting her with all he could desperately then. If not for him, she might have been seriously hurt. Thinking about it, Serena lowered her eyelashes.

-I'm sorry. I'm...

-It's okay. -You know that whatever you do or say, I won't blame you.

Serena raised her head and looked at him sorrowfully.

Then that he was like that, Serena did not want to acknowledge him.

Because whatever she said too much to him, he would think she didn't care. He would forgive her.

Serena stood up quickly and said coldly, "Don't always make that face. Aren't you angry when I say that? Or do you think that if you are not angry, I will feel guilty? You will be disappointed. I'll go if you'll excuse

me.

After speaking, Serena turned and left.

Leonardo's complexion changed slightly and he got up to join her.

Serena.

-Serena, I'm not the kind of person you think I am. So... No matter what you think, it is true that I made a mistake. What I want to do now is to undo the damage I did to you.

The damage from back then...

-That is not necessary. However, five years have passed. It has been what it should be. Until we meet again, I will not blame you.

Leonardo looked at her.

-So, if I insist that we get together?

Serena raised her head and looked at him with some astonishment.

At that moment, Leonardo's expression became a little serious.

Serena was taken aback for a moment and pulled away from his hand, curling her red lips.

-I have something to do. I'm leaving now.

She quickly turned away. Leonardo looked at her slender back and long white neck. A flash of astonishment suddenly flashed before his eyes. Before he could react, the sentence was out of his mouth. -The boy is Cristian's son, isn't he?

The steps Serena was about to take were withdrawn. She stood motionless, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

It took her a long time to look back.

Leonardo took a step forward, his voice as cold as water.

-You don't want to recognize me because I witnessed the boy's appearance at the supermarket that day.

Serena felt as if she were about to suffocate. Her face whitened at a visible speed and her voice almost trembled.

-What are you going to do?

-Serena, I said I don't want to hurt you. You must believe me.

-Then why are you talking to me about this subject? Serena looked at him in a trembling voice and said, -You said you don't, but what you do and say. What do they mean?

Seeing her frightened face and pale lips, Leonardo probably confirmed his own conjecture. He reached out his hand anxiously and touched the hair near Serena's cheek.

Then he could not help but hold her behind her ears. When his middle finger accidentally touched the soft skin of her earbuds, his hand stopped. Serena turned her face and took a step back to keep her distance.

A wounded light shone in Leonardo's eyes. Her voice was low: "Even if I gave you my life, I would not hurt you.

Cristian doesn't know he is the father, does he? Then you are afraid I will tell him, or, ... You thought you were a victim in my fight against him, so you are afraid, right?

Very well. Every word matched his thought.

Serena looked at him weakly. If it were not for her internal calculations, how could she know so clearly?

-If that is what you are worried about, then I can assure you that unless I die, I will not harm you.

Seeing her disbelief, Leonardo said again, -I swear to you that if...

-All right. -Serena interrupted him. She closed her eyes wearily and spoke weakly to him, "You don't need to swear. I know you are a person who faithfully keeps his promises. Leonardo's somber eyes gradually opened, "Well, then will you meet me again?

A little reluctantly, but hopelessly. Serena could only sigh.

-You've said it all, what can I do? I give up.

Leonardo finally had a smile, which was that kind look.

-All right. We'll be cooperation partners, but also ... friends.

What else could he say? Hopelessly he nodded his head.

-Then shall we go back and finish the coffee? I also have something on the job I want you to show me.

-Good.

Serena followed Leonardo to his original seat. After the two sat and chatted for a while about work-related matters, Leonardo asked her about her life abroad over the years. She avoided the difficult and chose the easy, answering a few.

Seeing that it was time, she was about to say goodbye to Leonardo.

After all, if it was later, Cristian would wake up.

At that point, he could leave and head to the supermarket near the community to buy something. Then he would return home to cook. They would have lunch when Cristian woke up.
