Chapter 667: I didn't want to lie to you

He mastered the silence in the room, so quiet that the slightest sound could be heard when the needle fell.

Lying on the sofa, Serena was silent. And Anna accompanied her, confused.

No one said anything, because the slightest word could affect her emotion.

It had been a long time since father and son had met in the living room, and no sound had been heard from the two upstairs. Serena wanted to go downstairs, but she feared interrupting their meeting. She was going through the most acute hours of her life.

Frozen from sitting still for so long, Anna stood up and said, "I'll look downstairs.

As soon as she took two steps, Serena stopped her, "Don't move.

-Serena looked at her curiously, "Don't you want to know how it went?

Shaking her head negatively, Serena did not answer.

Actually, Serena was not worried about their meeting because she knew Cristian so well, she could have guessed how much the two of them resembled each other.

All she thought about was how Cristian would treat her in the future.

"I've been lying to him for five whole years, and when he replaces out, how will he treat me? Will he hate me?" thought Serena.

Seeing that Serena was still motionless, Anna said, "I'm coming down, don't stop me.

-Anna, hearing her screams, Anna stopped and looked at her.

-It is already late. Go to your room and rest.

-But you...

-Don't worry, I know how to solve the problem.

-Serena...

-Let me go," Serena told her in a harsh tone.

Seeing her so firm and determined, Anna had to let her go.

-Ok, I'll leave you,II Anna returned to her room.

At that moment, Serena closed her eyes.

Then she heard noises from the door, thinking Anna had returned, she said with annoyance, -I said I'll replace out by myself. Go and rest.

But she heard no response.

Curious, Serena looked at the door and immediately saw a tall, sturdy figure with his eyes fixed on hers.

It was Cristian.

Suddenly Serena stood up and looked at him nervously.

Their gazes met, but neither opened their mouths.

Serena saw in his eyes something discouraged, desperate and confused, something different from before.

She felt very nervous, but she had to keep her composure. With a forced smile, she approached him.

Passing by him, she did not look at him, "Is Manuel downstairs? I'm going to see him.

But she was suddenly stopped by Cristian.

-Why didn't you let me recognize my son," Cristian had articulated, in a surprisingly sad tone.

Guiltily, Serena stood there motionless.

His question was like a powerful weapon that left her severely wounded.

Cristian continued his questioning, "Did you know?

-You tested me with the questions you asked me when I was abroad, didn't you?", Cristian paused and said, "You knew everything then, didn't you?

Serena remained motionless, distraught.

Cristian laughed, in an ironic and mocking tone, "To hide it, you kept me from investigating you. You lied to me for five whole years, and how soon were you going to tell me? Suddenly, he grabbed her hand with such force that he bent it. As soon as Serena cried out, he pushed her toward the wall.

-Are you having fun lying to me? Everyone knew it but me, like a fool.

-It's not like that.

-What do you mean it's not so? You've been lying to me for five years, if I hadn't been looking for you, you wouldn't have come after me? You would have hidden it from me for the rest of your life, is that how you put it?

With strength gripping his hand, Serena felt how foolish he was at that moment. If she had not told him the truth before it was out of fear that he would take it from her son, now it was out of fear of how disappointed and furious he would be when he found out.

Feeling the force becoming more and more violent, Serena tried to push him away, -You hurt me so much, let me go. I can explain...

-Are you in pain now? And I'm not in pain!

-I know you are angry. I didn't want to lie to you. Let me go and I will explain, please," she said desperately.

Cristian did not answer, and looked at her thoughtfully for a long time.

Then he let go, and Serena stroked his swollen, distressed hand.

-I only have one question.

-Tell me.

-Matteo and Leonardo knew?

Hearing their names, Serena suddenly paled as she realized how furious he was.

"With the relationship between him and Leonardo..." thought Serena hesitantly, but then said firmly, "I don't want to lie to you," lowered her gaze again and answered him in a low voice, "In a way, Leonardo knew.
