Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 659: She had her presents ready.

Only when the ambulance was far away did Serena look at Manuel, who was standing next to her.

-What's wrong with you?

-What? What is wrong with you? Mother -Manuel raised his head and looked at Serena with his innocent eyes, with a look of innocent kindness.

Looking at Manuel that way, Serena was puzzled again inside. But she knew her son well.

Then Serena knelt down and pinched Manuel's face.

-Did you do that on purpose?

-Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand.

-Why did you tell the nurse you didn't know him? Uncle Leonardo also invited you for a cake last time, did you forget?

-Mom!" Manuel acted aggressively, "I didn't forget. I just told the nurse that we are not Uncle Leonardo's family, that's wrong, you said Uncle Leonardo was our family? I didn't lie, so why do you blame me?" As he recalled, it seemed to him that Manuel had not said that he did not know Leonardo, he had only said that Leonardo was not his family.

And that statement was indeed true.

It made so much sense that Serena could not even argue.

-Mom, remember, did I say something wrong somehow?

Serena looked again at Manuel in front of her and shook her head, "You didn't say anything wrong, but the nurse thought you didn't even know Uncle, think about it, would Uncle Leonardo be angry to hear that?"

-Uncle Leonardo would be angry, I think," Manuel thought for a moment and admitted.

-So why did you say that?

-But Uncle Leonardo is not someone I care about, so why should I care about his emotions?

Serena had not expected her son's thoughts to be completely different from her own. Serena found herself unable to respond to Manuel.

-Mom, Mom," Manuel squeezed her arm, "You promised to help me replace my father, I only want my father, not Uncle Leonardo."

Manuel turned to Serena in an affectionate tone, his innocent expression impossible to deny.

-I will replace your father soon," Serena sighed and rubbed Manuel's head, "What I promise you, I will."

-Manuel was filled with joy, "When will I be able to see my father? Mom, you are very bad, you are not behaving well and you are making me wait too long."

-It's my fault, I'll speed things up and when I replace a solution, I'll have you meet with your father soon, okay?

-But Aunt Anna said she was supposed to pick me up today, why didn't I see her?

Manuel had just finished speaking when he heard a cry of surprise.

-Manuel, Serena, what are you doing here?

The duo looked toward the source of the voice just in time to see Anna running toward them.

-Anna, you're not back yet?

-Anna aunt.

Seeing Serena, Anna coughed softly, "I thought you were out with that man, I didn't expect you to be here, but I was supposed to meet with Manuel today and take him to Matteo's this afternoon." -You go with Matteo," Serena froze, then smiled, "So Manuel is your emotional advisor?"

Anna's face reddened and she finally nodded sincerely.

-With his relationship with Matteo, he is best suited to be my emotional advisor.

Now that Anna had said this, Serena had no choice but to push Manuel toward Anna. -Ok, I'll give you back your emotional counselor, and remember to take him home early tonight so he gets some rest and doesn't come home too late.

-All right, all right!

Before Manuel left, he seemed to be thinking about something.

-Mom, are you going to visit Uncle Leonardo in the hospital again?

-Anna, unaware of what had just happened, asked with a puzzled expression on her face, "What Uncle Leonardo?"

It could be...

A name soon came to Anna's mind and she looked at Serena, questioning her with her eyes.

Serena nodded softly and then looked at Manuel.

-Uncle Leonardo lives alone, so Mom still has to go to the hospital to check on him, don't worry, I'll be back soon.

-What if you help me replace dad?

Serena acted embarrassed and Anna hurried to pull Manuel into her arms, -These are adult matters, children don't worry so much. Your mother knows what to do, so don't worry and come with me to replace your uncle.

With that, Anna took Manuel and turned around.

His eyes were pure and clear, like black glass beads, a look that made Serena wince and look away.

When they were both gone, Serena hailed a cab and headed for the hospital.

Serena had seen Leonardo collapse in front of her, and even though it was as a co-worker, Serena should have gone to wish him a speedy recovery. On the way to the hospital, Serena called Caesar, who had been there that day.

As soon as Caesar heard that Leonardo had been sick, he immediately asked which hospital they were in.

Serena had just arrived and found Caesar already waiting at the door.

-Manager Cesare.

- Miss Serena," Caesar saw her and rushed to her, -I heard on the phone that Mr. Leonardo had been taken to the hospital, so I rushed right away, Mr. Leonardo is fine, II Serena shook her head, -He's fine. Serena shook her head, "I'm not sure, and he was just taken to the ambulance, let's go ask."

-Okay.

The two entered the hospital together, asked for Leonardo's ward and headed there together.

But before they could reach the ward, Serena's phone suddenly rang.

Serena pulled it out and when she saw Cristian's name flashing on the screen, she stopped suddenly. Caesar saw her pause and, puzzled, asked, "Miss Serena?" -Excuse me, I need to make a phone call, you go ahead.

After saying this, Serena stepped aside to answer the phone. Since the hospital was full of people, Serena found a place where there were fewer people.

-Hello?

-Where are you?" Cristian's voice sounded lazy, but Serena felt a little uncomfortable, so she coughed and lied, "I'm on my way home.

-I'm on my way home," Cristian paused and then said, "Then I'll wait for you at home.

Serena said, -What do you mean?

-I'm at your door.

This answer almost made Serena jump.

Since when had Cristian been at her house? And what was Cristian doing at his house at that time?

-I said I hadn't thought about it yet, because...?

-What are you afraid of? That I will see our son sooner or later? Besides, I have a present for him today.

Serena thought quickly about the answer.

-But I'm not home yet.

-How much longer?

How much longer? With a hard look at Caesar, who was not far away, she replied, -Probably another twenty minutes or so.
