Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 652: Made an exception

When Anna heard this, she immediately changed her expression.

-Manuel, this is different from what we agreed on, isn't it? You promised me earlier, are you going to break the promise?

-But--I can tell Uncle that I want to eat lobster so Uncle will take me to some restaurant.

Hearing this, Anna's eyes instantly sparkled, and she hugged Manuel's shoulders tightly. She was so excited that she almost cried, exclaiming, "Manuel, you are such a beautiful baby. I'll cook you anything you want!

Manuel blinked, thinking he had earned it.

It was already noon when Serena woke up, the blazing sun was overhead and the room was still brightly lit despite the curtains blocking the sunlight.

She looked at her unfamiliar surroundings and remembered what Cristian had told her the night before.

After thinking about it, she got up slowly.

It did not look like a hotel here, but more like a residence, except that it was not familiar to her, and there was no sound of waves around, so it must not be a beach house.

So where was it?

Serena lifted the blanket and stood up. The environment was quiet, and she saw her phone left on the table.

Serena reached over and picked up her phone, discovering that Cristian had texted her,

After you get up and read this message, go wash up in the bathroom, I have prepared all the supplies for you. There are some clothes in the closet, then wait for me to come back and we will have lunch together.

Serena entered the bathroom after a moment of silence and actually found the toiletries ready. Then she put the phone aside and brushed her teeth and face.

Then she looked at the toiletry glasses on the shelf and became distracted.

That was a set.

And it contained items for three people, two for adults and one for children.

There were three wash cups as if they had been prepared especially for her and Manuel, just cups for a family of three.

For some reason, seeing this scene, Serena was very moved.

She had turned on the camera, adjusted the visual effects and filters to take a picture. Then he looked at her with a smile on his face.

When she came out of the bathroom about ten minutes later, she went to the closet as Cristian had told her. After opening it, she found it full of women's clothes of all kinds. When had she prepared all this?

After looking through the clothes, Serena finally chose a set of everyday clothes to change into, then sat down and texted Cristian,

It's still early. How about I go back to my house first instead of waiting for you?

At the Ferrari Group

The meeting was in progress, and Cristian sat in the main seat, watching several old shareholders argue in front of him, while he remained calm.

The phone in his pocket vibrated, and Cristian's gaze shifted slightly, then he pulled it out.

Although the rule of not answering calls and not looking at the phone during meetings had been established by himself, he broke it at this moment when the phone vibrated and it occurred to him that Serena was sleeping at home.

He did not want to miss any messages from her. After pulling out his phone, he saw a message notification, his thin lips rose and he unlocked her screen directly with his fingerprint. However, that message was to tell him that Serena did not want to wait for him.

The happy expression vanished immediately. Without considering that he was in the meeting room, he called Serena directly.

Serena put her cell phone aside after sending that message, thinking that Cristian would be at work at that hour and would not respond so quickly.

But who knew that she would call as soon as the message was sent, Cristian's call came immediately.

So quickly...

Serena answered the phone, "Hello?

-If you don't wait for me, what will you do?

A rough male voice rang out loudly. His repressed voice must have been muffled by the discussions of the old shareholders.

However, it sounded all too familiar to those present, especially when he lowered his voice to speak. Usually when he lowered his voice was when he was about to get angry, so everyone was particularly sensitive to this voice.

The old shareholders immediately looked toward him.

It was because they wanted to know if he was going to get angry.

Surprisingly, what they had seen was Cristian talking on the phone?

What had happened?

Had they not agreed that no one could use a cell phone during the meeting? What had happened to their president?

So everyone in the meeting curiously turned their heads and looked at Cristian.

-Cristian raised an eyebrow, "Wait for me there, don't go anywhere, I will come for you at noon."

Serena touched her stomach and resisted the urge to look up, saying, "But I'm hungry now, I want to go out to eat and go to the office later. Since you're busy, why don't you...?

-Are you hungry?

Hearing her say she was hungry, Cristian immediately changed his mind, and his voice softened a little more. He told her, "I'm sorry, I didn't consider it, it's because of my negligence. I will be right back to come to you, don't go away."

After saying this, he hung up the phone and stood up.

Before a group of people in the meeting room could react, Cristian grabbed his jacket, stood up and headed for the door.

Even then the crowd reacted and several elders came up to stop him.

-President, we are still in the meeting, where are you going?

Cristian, I have something to sort out.

What do you mean?

One of the elders grunted and said, -It would not be right for you to leave in the middle of a meeting. Besides, it's not a very urgent matter...."

Before he could finish his words, Cristian's gaze seemed like a cold arrow toward him.

-Does he have any objection?

Those glances were as stern as if they were those of a hawk, and the frightened crowd wanted to give in after receiving that look, but after thinking about it, they did not let it go and told him, -President, it's not an objection, but it's not right for you to treat us like this, leaving us aside to leave the meeting without concern.

-Oh, II Cristian replied indifferently, -Then let's adjourn the meeting. You can wait for me here. The meeting will continue when I return."

-President.

-Mr. Cristian... Time is money...

However, without waiting for the last words to be finished, Cristian had already disappeared after opening the door to the meeting room.

People looked at each other and a moment later one of them asked in a low voice, -So what do we do?

-So what do we do? Do we really have to wait for him here?

-Forget it. I don't think we need to, since he won't be back for a few hours. Didn't you notice his tone and expression while he was talking on the phone?

-Huh? Was he talking to a woman on the phone?

-Very likely. Back to our work, this meeting... can be moved to tomorrow.

-In that case, let's go. Until tomorrow.

With that, everyone present agreed, gathered their things and left the room.

After leaving, they immediately felt something very familiar, as if they had -had seen this scene somewhere before.

When Serena heard Cristian say he was coming to pick her up, she wanted to refuse. However, Cristian had hastily ended the call without giving her time to do so, as if he was afraid of being rejected. Serena had not had a chance to express her opinion about the call.

Why was this man acting so impetuously?
