Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 813: I missed it.

Angelo understood what she meant and hastened to answer, "Yes, yes. Then our children were not getting married. What a pity. It really made me regret it all my life. After saying this, he looked at Magdalene.

-But it doesn't matter. Even if our children didn't get married, it would be nice if our grandchildren could get married.

Joseph nodded in agreement. The two old men burst out laughing.

Magdalene looked sheepishly at Joseph and said softly, -Grandpa....

Joseph looked at Cristian and smiled, -Christian is also of marriageable age. And he is only a little older than Magdalene, if you two could....

Cristian, who had not spoken since he entered the room, finally raised his head at that moment. How beautiful his black eyes were!

His lips had been tightly closed for some time. And her thoughts and emotions could not be discerned from her face.

Before Joseph could finish the sentence, he suddenly said.

-Because the marriage did not take place then, it means that the two families are not meant to be together.

With one sentence, the other three present froze in place, looking at Cristian with some consternation.

Magdalene, who had been so shy, hoped that Cristian might look at her more often.

After all, she was so well dressed today. But Cristian did not look at her even once.

When he finally looked up, Magdalene immediately straightened her back. But the next words that came out of her mouth made her feel very disheartened. It seemed as if someone had thrown cold water on her.

-What did you say? -Juseppe narrowed his eyes a little as he looked at Cristian.

Angelo didn't think so either. He thought that in front of Giuseppe, his nephew would not be embarrassed, but now....

-Nowadays, old people's orders don't work anymore. I understand that the older generation wants to decide the marriage of their children. But Joseph's granddaughter and I are in the new era, and we both want free love. Besides, I think she already has her ideal man, and I too have my own needs from the list.

These words of Cristian were so reasonable that it was impossible to refute them.

Magdalene abruptly rose from her seat and looked at Cristian with wide eyes, "Cristian, you...

Joseph narrowed his eyes and looked at him with disgust: -Do you think my niece is unworthy of you?

-No, no, no, how can you say that? -Angelo tried to explain. Magdalene is an excellent girl.

Cristian, however, said indifferently, -Your niece is too good for me.

With these words, he raised his hand to look at the time. Then he said, "Grandpa, Joseph, I have an important video conference at nine o'clock. Excuse me.

After saying this, he immediately got up from his seat and nodded toward the other side, then turned and left.

-Christian! -Maddalena pulled up her skirt in panic and tried to run after him. But she was stopped by Joseph as he ran past her: -Stop!

-Stop right there, you brat!

At the same time, Angelo stood up and shouted behind Cristian's back.

Cristian stopped and turned around: 'Grandpa, that meeting is important.'

Angelo raged at him, "Important? Is it more important than your marriage? Or more important than me? Do you know we are having dinner? And do you know what respect is?

-Grandpa, I've been sitting with you for half an hour. If you think I'm being disrespectful, well -- do what you want.

-Christian! Get back here! Otherwise...

Otherwise, he would have been really pissed off.

But Cristian had already left without a second thought. And his strong reaction showed them that he would not accept this marriage contract drawn up by his elders, and it meant that he really had no interest in Magdalene.

-Christian!

In an instant Cristian had disappeared.

Magdalene wanted to go after him, but was stopped by Joseph.

-Don't go! Members of our family never beg other people. Since they don't like you, let's forget this wedding!

-Grandfather! -Magdalena's eyes immediately turned red and she shook her head vigorously. I don't want to leave him like this. Cristian is just a little indifferent. If you give me time, I'm sure he will fall in love with me!

-Don't fool yourself! -Giuseppe huffed coldly and waved his hand. Didn't you go every day when he was hurt before? Wasn't the time I gave you enough? He still doesn't like you, does he? Magdalene was immediately speechless.

-But it's because of his temper. Please give me a little more time, Grandpa....

-Stop saying! -Giuseppe angrily pushed her hand away. You are the princess of the Landi family. You can choose others, but others cannot reject you.

-But grandfather...

-Giuseppe...

Angelo regretted deeply and approached and spoke apologetically: -I'm sorry I didn't speak well with him before, I....

-That's all. Angelo, you don't have to say any more, I don't want to hear!

-But...

-If you say one more word, you will insult my granddaughter!

Magdalene was raised by me, and now she is rejected by your grandson in front of us. What an injustice!

-Yes, yes, yes, it is my fault.

After all, the two had been old friends for many years. Angelo could only apologize again and again, "Well, I apologize for what happened today. And I will criticize Cristian when he comes back. As for the engagement...

-I think it's best to forget it, unless I propose it in person.

Joseph snorted coldly, "Magdalena is really outstanding. There are many people who want to be with her. You don't need to come here to be disliked by others.

Angelo was speechless.

***

After Cristian left the hotel, he headed for the garage. Just as he reached the front door, a person lunged at him.

Cristian dodged to the side. The person stumbled forward and almost fell to the ground.

-God! I came all this way to inform you. But you are heartless.

Vittorio managed to steady himself and turned to cast a fierce glance at Cristian.

Cristian pocketed the car keys and said coldly, -What are you doing here?

Vittorio gritted his teeth, "I'm here to give you a tip. But I'm afraid to go inside, so I'll wait here for you.

Cristian frowned, "A tip?

Thinking about what he was about to say, Vittorio felt a little guilty and said in a low voice. Eh. Do you want to go replace your assistant?

I called her today and she didn't answer. That's why I thought she knew you were coming to the engagement. So... I missed it. -What did you say?
