Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 616: Asking for debts

Now that things had developed, it was impossible for her and Alice to go back to the past.

From the expression on her face, she could imagine how deeply Alice hated her. Thinking about this, Serena spoke sadly.

-Maybe she hates me so much that she would like to kill me.

If not, why would she do such a thing over and over again?

When he saw her, the hatred in her eyes almost overflowed.

Serena still regretted the idea that the two had gotten along so well as sisters, but now they were back like this.

She closed her eyes and said nothing.

Suddenly she heard Cristian say something.

-I will protect you.

Cristian kept his promise. In the following days, as he had said he would give her time and space to think, he did not come looking for her again, nor did he bother to stay with her.

At first Serena was afraid of his sudden arrival, so she never dared to see Manuel. After two days of secret observation, she found out that Cristian had not returned to see her, so she went to see Manuel as soon as possible.

When Manuel saw her, he almost ran and jumped into her arms.

Serena bent down and hugged Manuel tightly; she missed him.

-I will die thinking of you,II Serena stroked his head and sighed.

Manuel murmured, -I think of you often, too.

After speaking, Manuel stood up on tiptoe and kissed Serena's face, "Mom, a kiss!

He pointed to his cheek and gestured to Serena in return.

Serena smiled, her expression too soft, bent her head and kissed Manuel's face as a gift. Seeing that Manuel was still sulky, she kissed him again on the other side of his cheek. Then she asked softly, "Are you satisfied?"

-Hey,II Manuel turned a little proudly, -We did it. Mom you didn't come to see me for a long time and you didn't text me. I thought you were going to leave your son."

These serious remarks made Serena laugh, and then she reached out and pinched Manuel's nose and said helplessly, "What are you thinking, how could I have done that?"

-Hey, you always say you can't do this kind of thing, but you haven't paid attention to me for a long time. After speaking, Manuel held Serena's arm with both hands and spoke mischievously, "Mom, you promised me that after you took me home this time, you wouldn't throw me out again.

-Serena nodded her head, "Yes, I promise.

-Then this time you must keep your promises. If you reject me again, I will ignore you forever.

-Of course, I definitely won't send you away again.

-Mom swears.

Manuel held out his hand, and Serena had to. After the deal was done, a sly flicker shone in Manuel's glass-bead-like eyes.

As long as he could stay with his mother, meeting his father would be just around the corner.

As much as he wanted to meet his father, he knew that Mom was unwilling, so he could not let his father know about his appearance and life experience without Mom's consent.

But if he went back to live with Mom, it would be different.

If Father had arrived, she would have met him by chance and known what he looked like.

Then it would be none of his business, after all, if it happened accidentally.

At that point, Mom and Dad could have been together.

Thinking about this, Manuel's heart was happy.

Then he began to make various small calculations after the two were together. Father had not fulfilled his responsibility to take care of him for the past five years. When the time came to acknowledge Dad, he would have to hold him tightly.

-So, Mom, shall we go home now?

After thinking about it, Serena nodded, -Okay, but you have to wear a hat and sunglasses.

She agreed immediately.

Later, when Serena went out with Manuel, she met Matteo on the doorstep.

Since the last incident, Serena and her brother had rarely seen each other, so when Matteo saw her, his gaze was fixed on her and he couldn't move, then he smiled, "Are you coming to get Manuel? -Brother," Serena nodded and called him, "Manuel has been living here these days, and I'm done working there, so I want to bring him home."

Matteo looked at Manuel beside her and smiled slightly, "If you are too busy at work, you'd better go home. Here you can also take care of Manuel. You don't have to send him away when you're busy."

"Move back here?"

Serena reflexively shook her head.

How could she go back to live there?

Not to mention the fact that she wanted to live independently, the main thing was that Cristian often disturbed her now. If she moved out, would Cristian show up directly at the Giordano family's doorstep? If Cristian had confronted Matteo, another tough fight would have surely broken out.

-No, Anna, Manuel and I can take care of ourselves. Besides, I also want to live my own life, and I cannot have my brother support me forever.

Hearing this, Matteo could not help but sigh and took a step forward and looked deeply at her.

-But Serena, I am willing to take care of you all the time.

Serena raised her eyes to look at Matteo, and it was shocking to see that his eyes were fixed on her as if he were the only person in the world.

If Matteo had not been her brother, she would have almost thought she liked him.

After all, how could a brother do everything for his sister?

In any case, it did not seem to be true.

But... thinking about her previous experience, she thought it was normal.

He had lost his father already in childhood, his sister had disappeared, and shortly thereafter he had lost his mother. The departure of his relatives was always a hard blow to Matthew.

Later, after he found Serena, she was his only remaining relative.

He had been alone for a long time without even feeling the affection between relatives, so he wanted to take care of her all the time and depend on her all his life.

Serena felt that this feeling was understandable.

But at the same time, this kind of emotion made people unfree.

Fortunately, Matthew's desire to control her was not particularly strong, and he was willing to allow her to start a business independently, run it independently, and accept that she would move and live elsewhere.

Of course, Serena also knew that he was the one who spoiled her.

Because she was his favorite sister.

Thinking about this, Serena sighed slightly and whispered: -Brother, I still want to live alone, but... I will often bring Manuel to visit you in the future. And if you have time in the future, you can come to my side. We will eat together. There are many rooms, so you can live together if you want....

Matteo finally showed a relieved smile.

-All right.
