Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 744: It's not a guess, it's the truth.

At the hotel

Serena spent a serious hour washing her hair and showering, putting on clean clothes and getting ready.

She was afraid her makeup would get stained again, so this time she didn't even put on makeup.

But even if she wanted to put on makeup now, she couldn't do it.

She had not had time to put on makeup because she had left the house in a hurry.

Clare had told her then that she had 20 minutes to get ready, but when she had pulled out her suitcase, she only had time to put on some clothes and the rest of the time.... She had spent it standing at the door waiting for the driver.

It was as if a curse had been placed on her.

Serena looked at herself in the mirror and reached out to gently stroke her face.

Then she changed motion and pinched her face with her thumb and forefinger.

Serena cried out in pain when she saw a big red spot on her face in the mirror.

It hurt a lot.

It was real.

It was not fake.

Even though the wound made her wince in pain, Serena could not help but smile as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Matteo had sent her a message telling her to sleep for a few hours. He had also said he had a car ready for the afternoon and would take her to see Cristian then.

Serena thought about the arrangement and it seemed appropriate, so she texted back and went to rest.

And now she was really tired, she had been in a good mood all day, but because of her pregnancy, the baby in her belly seemed to keep protesting and demanding rest. Serena went to bed and fell asleep, waking up only in the afternoon when Clare knocked on her door.

-Serena, we'll leave in about ten minutes.

-Okay.

Serena got out of bed, quickly went to the bathroom, washed her face, put on something she could use for traveling, and followed Chiara out the door before she had a chance to gather her hair. Matteo froze for a moment at the sight of Serena.

Because Serena rarely wore her hair down, even casually, she wore it tied back.

But now she wore a head of soft hair. The hair that hung down, covering half her face, made her look even thinner.

But most of all, Serena now looked especially like Matteo's mother when she was young.

Seeing Serena like this, Matteo was immediately immersed in memories.

Only when Serena approached him and named him as a brother did Matteo come back to reality.

Remembering his mother's untimely death, Matteo was in a foul mood and responded in a very disinterested manner.

After getting into the car, Serena could not help her doubts.

-Where are we going now?

She had looked at the time on her way out and it was late.

Chiara sat in the passenger seat and replied, -You'll know when we get there.

Serena felt that these two people were hiding something from her.

But she was about to meet Cristian and she felt that all these doubts would be resolved when she met him.

When the car had been driving for a while, Matteo, who was sitting next to her, suddenly asked her.

-I have something to tell you.

-What is it?

Matteo did not turn around; he kept looking out the car window but did not speak right away.

A moment passed before Matteo continued.

-Let's take a guess: What would you do if you met Cristian but he no longer knew you?

Why wouldn't Cristian recognize Serena?

-Brother, I don't understand you, why wouldn't he know me? How could Cristian not recognize me?

Matthew turned to look at him.

-It's just a guess.

Serena was a little pale and did not answer him, she seemed not to bear the question.

This made Serena worried Matteo and said in a serious tone, -It's just a guess, if you can't even accept the idea, what will you do if it really happens?

-No!

Serena shook her head vigorously, trying to argue for Cristian.

-It's impossible, the hypothetical can't be true, how could Cristian not know me? Brother, don't be ridiculous.

Having said that, he turned his head angrily the other way and stopped talking to Matteo.

Matteo did not move, "What if I'm not joking?

Suddenly, Serena turned to Matteo and looked at him with surprise.

Chiara, sitting in the passenger seat, could clearly feel the disquiet in the air, but at that moment she did not know what to say to lighten the mood. After all, Matteo was telling the truth.

And they were about to witness the truth of the matter, and all words now seemed to pale in comparison.

-I am not joking with you, the things I just said are true.

Matthew's words ripped through the cruel night.

Clare could almost feel a breath of sadness in the air, and through the rearview mirror she saw Serena sitting expressionless but with tears in her eyes. Serena knew Matteo would never lie to her, she had had a special feeling since she had started guessing things, but she never thought it could be true.

Serena's eyes filled with tears as she looked at Matteo, she said in her aggravated tone, -So this is what you've been keeping from me?

Matteo did not say another word as Clare, facing him, explained.

-Mrs. Serena, we did not want to hide this from you, but we also found the news strange, so we wanted you to come and confirm it in person, and when you meet Mr. Cristian, you will know the truth of the matter.

-And where are we going now? -Serena was not sure how long it would take her to accept it, but her brain had taken the initiative to raise the issue for her.

Chiara looked at the navigation and sighed, -We'll be there soon.

A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a building. Serena had seen many of these buildings when she had lived abroad five years ago, so she recognized them at a glance.

-This is...

-This is the world-famous Calligaris family company in country A,II Chiara took in her words and looked slowly at Serena. This is where our intelligence agent met Mr. Cristian. As for why he was here, I did some research.

Chiara opened her briefcase, took out a document and handed it to Serena.

Serena took the document but did not open it.

-Actually, at first we didn't know why Mr. Cristian was here, but then we found out that Mr. Cristian's aunt, Beatrice Marchetti, was actually Beatrice Calligaris, the youngest daughter of the Calligaris family, and that her sister, Mr. Cristian's mother, Iris Marchetti, formerly Iris Calligaris, were the famous twin daughters of the Calligaris family, but then they left the Calligaris family for North City, for reasons unknown to

us.
