Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 814: What an inconvenience.

Before Vittorio said those words, Cristian thought that the matter between him and Magdalena was so simple that he could solve it with a few words. Therefore, he did not give the matter any importance.

Once it was settled, everything went back to normal as usual.

But now, because of Vittorio's words, Cristian felt that the plans he had arranged had been messed up in advance.

It was like a game of chess. He had clearly arranged his pieces and suddenly a wild animal came along and overturned his board. All his efforts were in vain. Thinking about this, Cristian's face became very serious. He looked at Vittorio as if he were looking at a dead man.

Cristian's coldness made Vittorio take two steps back and cough slightly.

-Cristian, it's really not my fault. You didn't even tell me what happened, did you?

And-when I called your assistant, she didn't answer the phone. I almost called her a thousand times, and I thought she was angry because she knew?

Cristian's tone was very low.

-Who asked you to mind my business?

Do you really have nothing to do?

Vittorio took a few more steps back, -No, I'm a little busy, I was just passing by.

Well, since I've already told you what happened, I'm leaving.

Not caring about Cristian's reaction, Vittorio turned around and began to run.

After running for a long distance, Vittorio looked back, covering his chest. He was relieved to see Cristian heading toward the garage.

He hoped he would not screw it up this time. He really should kill himself if the two of them couldn't be together because of him.

Serena walked the streets for a long time. When she realized how late it was, she decided to go home.

So she took a cab. When she got out of the car, she heard a cold male voice from the darkness to her left. -Where have you been?

The cold voice made Serena wince and dropped the keys from her hand with a startled cry.

She was thinking about something, there was no light around, and the cab had left as soon as she got out.

Serena looked toward the source of the sound.

There was a small flame in the darkness. And would the familiar voice she had just heard have been Cristian's, if she had heard it correctly?

Thinking of Cristian, it came naturally to Serena what he had gone to discuss the engagement tonight.

After losing the whole night, Serena had had enough of this feeling. She tried to calm herself, then bent down to look for the keys she had just dropped. But someone else was quicker than her and grabbed her keys.

-Why don't you answer me?

Serena froze.

In the dim moonlight, Serena took the keys in her hand, saying, -Thanks, I just went out with friends.

The keys were taken from him. Her soft fingers brushed his palm unknowingly.

For a moment, Cristian did not know what she was thinking, but he wanted to take her hand and hold it.

But when he froze, Serena had already taken the key and opened the door.

Cristian looked at her in silence, put out the cigarette in his hand, and followed her inside.

After a few steps, Serena realized he was following her and stopped.

-Why?

-It's too dark. I'll walk you upstairs.

Serena did not know how to answer him.

In fact, she wanted to ask him why he had found her at that hour, and had not gone to discuss the engagement? Wasn't it ironic to come looking for her after the discussion? In the end, he did not say those words and went on in silence.

Soon they reached the front of the house and Serena looked at him, "I have arrived.

In the darkness, Cristian's eyes seemed brighter than the moon, and he stared at her in silence.

Then he asked, "Don't you want to invite me to your house?

I want to drink water.

Serena was speechless.

Invite him to her house? How strange!

Serena remembered what he had gone to do before coming here tonight. She bit her lip and replied, "It's too late. It would be inappropriate.

-Haha.

Cristian let a low chuckle escape.

He took a step closer to her and Serena could feel his breath around her neck.

-So tell me, what is inappropriate?

As he spoke, his breath brushed against her neck, tickling her. That's why Serena took two steps back to avoid him.

Cristian seemed to be on the verge of moving forward. Immediately Serena opened the door in fright, went inside and turned on the light.

-Sit down, I'll get you a glass of water.

Following her, Cristian entered and closed the door.

He was pondering how to explain to her the events of this night.

"Would I give her the wrong impression if I actively explained, or would I wait for her to ask me and explain? Well, that might work."

After Serena gave Cristian some water, there was silence between them again.

Cristian took a sip from his glass and waited for Serena to ask her question. But after she finished her glass of water, the woman remained silent. Soon the glass was empty.

Serena looked up and reminded him, "Are you done?

Cristian was silent.

A little annoyed, he stood up and pulled on his dress tie, "I'm still thirsty.

-Good," Serena nodded. 'Then I'll pour you another glass.

She took the glass and went back to the kitchen for water, moving slowly.

Cristian saw the new glass of hot water in front of him. This time Cristian did not drink it slowly, because he was very upset.

He took it in his hand and took a few big sips.

The water slid down his throat.

Then he looked up and saw the woman sitting down. Her eyes were calm and she looked very weak and tired.

This made Cristian even more irritated, and he suddenly slammed his glass down on the table.

Serena, who had been sitting in silence, looked at him in amazement, but then quickly withdrew her gaze.

-You, don't you have any questions for me?

Finally, Cristian could not resist asking.

Serena finally twisted her lips as if she had something to say, but then shook her head after a moment's thought. -Nothing. It's late. You have to go back.

With that said, she heard Cristian chuckle. She raised her head and saw that he was looking at her with a mocking gaze. Such a look made Serena angry.

-Was he the one who had gone to talk about the engagement but had not told her anything, and he wanted her to ask? -What could he ask and on what grounds?
