Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 743: I hope he is safe.

Although Serena already knew that Matteo would never tell her anything she wasn't sure of.

But she was still worried.

Serena had always felt that everything was a fiction, like a dream. After all, it had been so long since they had lost Cristian.

Now that there was real news about Cristian, it seemed surreal.

He feared the news would disappear like the bubble at dawn.

Matteo had rarely seen Serena like this-she was already a mother-but now she looked like a teenager, her eyes red and her expression frightened, as if her soul also trembled with trepidation. Matteo reached out his hand and touched the top of Serena's head, the warmth of his palm sent a steady stream of heat into her.

It was as if Matteo was comforting his sister with this gesture.

-Don't worry.

Matteo's voice was soft.

-Like your brother, I never do anything I am not sure of.

Hearing Matteo's reassurance, Serena felt much calmer. But before she met Cristian, there were still doubts inside her that she could not dispel.

She feared that this feeling would only go away when Serena knew that Cristian was safe.

-Sit down,II Matteo pulled the chair closer and handed her the menu. You just got home from work, you must be hungry, eat something first.

-I'm not hungry," Serena shook her head.

-Even if you don't have an appetite, you have to eat something since our flight has been delayed a bit and there will be no food on the plane. Are you going to meet Cristian with an empty stomach? Serena said nothing.

-Even if you're not hungry right now, you should regain your strength in time, because it's time to eat and the baby in your belly should eat something as well, II Chiara sat down next to her and began to coax her as well.

Serena was even more speechless.

With much persuasion from the two of them, Serena ordered food from the menu.

Serena did not have much of an appetite at the moment because all her energy was focused on Cristian.

But when she took her first bite, the food suddenly seemed delicious, perhaps because she was pregnant, she had thought.

It was still very early before the plane took off and Matthew cut off a piece of steak and said, "It's still early, take your time and eat slowly, you just have to take care of yourself before you have the energy to take care of others. When the time comes...

Matthew did not continue with these last words, but it was clear that he meant something else.

-In time for what? -Serena took a bite of her food, careful about what she was saying, and stared at Matteo.

-By the way, on the phone, Chiara, the secretary, told me that you had an uncertain message and that you had to wait for my confirmation in person, and now that I'm here, can you tell me what it is?

At this mention, Chiara and Matteo looked at each other, then Chiara smiled and explained, "As for this news, it is better to wait until you get off the plane.

So mysterious.

Serena had an uneasy feeling and frowned, not being interested in eating, as she put down her knife and fork.

-Please tell me right now if this news has anything to do with Cristian.

Chiara nodded.

Serena suddenly became nervous.

-Is there something wrong with him?

Chiara did not answer, and Matteo looked at his coffee.

-Chiara? Is Cristian hurt? Please tell me, is he safe?

Chiara felt that if she didn't say something, Serena would go crazy with anxiety. But a pregnant woman shouldn't have too many mood swings, so Chiara could only rush to explain, -Miss Serena, please don't worry, our news has nothing to do with Mr. Cristian's safety; he is safe and sound.

Serena was relieved to hear that Cristian was safe.

-That he is safe and sound is my greatest wish....

The rest did not matter much to Serena.

When she would see Cristian again, she did not know how he would react-this business genius sometimes acted like a stupid innocent boy.... When the time came, Serena should have asked Cristian why he had transferred all his assets and shares to Serena without her consent....

Had Cristian done this so as not to have guilt toward Serena when he wanted to leave?

I should scold Cristian when I replace him because he suddenly returned to the country without telling me.

This bad boy...

At the thought, Serena felt like crying again, and she hurriedly grabbed her knife and fork and covered the situation by eating. After eating, everyone went about their own business.

Matthew's attention was always focused on his laptop computer, and during this time he had also done video conferencing. Chiara had helped him with the minutes of the meeting.

Serena, on the other hand, had the least to do.

In fact, she was very busy when she worked at the company, but she never left her work unfinished at the end of the day.

She knew that she could not work all the time when she was pregnant and that if she did not get enough rest and had health problems, the baby she was expecting would also suffer.

In Cristian's absence, it was even more important for her to protect their illegitimate child.

At the time, Serena thought that when Cristian returned, her second child might be born.

But perhaps there was no need to worry about that now, since she would soon be able to meet Cristian.

Serena was already two months pregnant and would have to share the good news with Cristian when the time came.

***

When the plane arrived in Country A, Serena and the two left the airport with their suitcases in tow.

-Will we see Cristian now? -Serena asked Chiara excitedly as she walked through the VIP lane.

Seeing Serena's anxious look, Chiara could not help but smile and replied, -Miss Serena, we had such a long flight, we have to go to the hotel first to rest.

-Are you not tired after a whole night's flight? Matteo gave her a calm look and asked.

-No, I'm not tired,II Serena shook her head.

Serena hadn't slept on the plane either. Probably because she was so nervous that her palms were sweating and her heart was beating so fast she couldn't fall asleep.

-Even if you are not tired, you should rest, look at you now.

Matthew took out his phone, turned on the front camera and handed it to Serena.

Serena took it and looked at herself.

She noticed that she had deep circles under her eyes. And since she had arrived at the airport yesterday right after work, she had not had time to remove her makeup, which had been all over after a night out, and her hair was now a mess.

She looked like a crazy person with mental problems.

It was just not appropriate to go and meet Cristian like that.

-All right then, we'll go to the hotel first," Serena finally convinced herself.

As much as she wanted to see Cristian right away, not now, she would scare him off with this look.

Serena's willingness to go to the hotel because of her appearance made Chiara and Matteo's hearts shiver.

After all, they had not told Serena this important thing.

What would Serena think when she found out?
