Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 825: The Decision

-Don't worry, there is nothing special from me, just take care of Manuel and yourself.

But Anna could not help but murmur.

-You're lying, would you call Beatrice out of the blue without any special circumstances?

-I sought her out only because she was related to Cristian and I wanted her to stimulate his memory along with her, nothing more.

This statement, on the contrary, made Anna say in half a voice, "Really? That's all?

-Is this the only way to do it, or do you have a better idea? -Serena sighed.

-Nothing...

They chatted for a while about family matters, and Anna couldn't resist asking,

-It will be Christmas soon, are you sure you don't want to go back and spend it with your Manuel, be together or something? Hearing this, Serena's heart was a little moved.

She would like to go back, there is no mother under the sun who does not miss her children, but....... nowadays she could not even tell if there would be any change, but since Anna always asked, she could only reassure herself.

-We'll see how it goes then, if they let me, I'll make time to come back....

She had always flatly refused before, but now she was saying something different, and Anna immediately thought that maybe things were going quite well on Serena's side, so wouldn't it be good for her to take Manuel with her when Christmas Eve comes?

-Well, Manuel, your brother and I will wait for your good news," Anna said.

-Okay.

***

The Calligaris family.

-Where did he go?

After Cristian entered, all the servants in the living room were called by Angelo, and he was the only one who sat on the sofa.

As soon as Cristian walked through the door, he threw out a cold question.

Cristian took a step back, remembering the time he had spent with Serena, and thinking about what had been said on the phone about Angelo.

It sounded like a lie. Cristian half-closed his thin lips and approached the old man with a firm step.

-Grandfather.

-You still know I'm your grandfather? -Angelo scoffed.

Cristian half-closed his lips and remained silent.

-Where the hell have you been? These past few days I thought you were working late at the office, but when I asked today, I found that you were leaving work every day on time-where were you staying? -I am an adult, even if I don't stay in the company and work overtime, I still have my life.

Can I live only at home apart from the office?

-If you live at home, don't you want to spend more time with me? -Angelo grunted.

To be honest, Cristian had no feelings for his grandfather in front of him. Although when he opened his eyes he told himself that it was his grandfather, and it infused him with some memories and he believed it But Cristian was not even close to him, especially when he was trying to marry Magdalene to his nephew.

Cristian just wanted to get away from him.

-Moreover, I can understand that as young people you don't want to spend more time with older people like me, but Magdalena is such a kind girl, she has been raised by the Landi family since childhood, how can you reject her?

At the mention of Magdalena, Cristian's eyes became colder and his tone was stern.

-So you want me not to be interested in her, but I'm still with her?

-Boy, can you talk or not? Shut up if you can't talk.

Cristian was silent.

-What do you mean by that? You don't care, it's because you haven't found out how good Magdalena is, what's wrong with her? She is pretty and speaks several languages, with her professionalism, as long as you stay with her, she will be very useful for your career in the future.

Cristian remained silent.

-Say something!

-Didn't you tell me to shut up? -Cristian grimaced.

Angelo almost got angry with him and covered his chest, "Brat, I think you want to make me angry before you give up.

He sighed as he cast a look of pain.

Cristian helplessly stood up and pinched his aching temples.

-When they called me just now, didn't you say you had gone to your room? Why did you come back down now?

Hearing this, Angelo realized that he had been exposed, and he hurried to sit up straight.

-What? If I don't say so, do you still know how to go home?

-Grandfather, I am not going to commit myself to Magdalena.

-What are you talking about? I arranged the best marriage for you, if you look back, only Magdalene's family and character are worthy of you, do you only want to die if you don't marry her? Dying alone?

No.

Cristian remembered Serena's gaze and the hostile gesture between his eyebrows dissipated a bit.

-I don't want to commit to her anyway, no matter how much you say it, and I don't need to depend on a woman for my career.

If Grandfather thinks that I have to depend on a woman to cement a career, then he can replace a new heir.

Cristian could not have been interested in those millions of dollars.

Angelo froze, staring in disbelief at the Cristian in front of him, immediately after uttering those words with an indifferent expression, as if he had seen another figure.

The figure was small, his shoulders were thin but his back was straight, and his voice was soft but strong.

-I will not commit to that man, no matter how many times you say it, I said no and I will not do it. Father, if you force your daughter to marry someone she doesn't love, I would rather die in front of you right now. At that moment, Angelo was so angry about his last words that he almost shed tears.

-You silly girl, could I have hurt you? I allowed you to get engaged to him also for the sake of your future, you don't have a younger brother, in the future this Calligaris family is all yours!

-If you can't let me be with the person I like, I don't want all the Calligaris family property either, even if you give it to me. Besides, I am capable of handling all this by myself, why should I depend on others? So it was that Cristian's mother, her daughter Iris, then said these words before him.

Little did she know that a few years later, her son would have exactly the same temperament as her.

What kind of sin was this?

Thinking about Iris, the expression in the eyes of Angelo's face has aged a lot instantly, sometimes they think just let the child go, however, he is old too, he can't really handle it.

But thinking that he was really getting old and that he did not expect to have many more years to live, he felt even more strongly that he could not let them go on like this.

He also often regretted not stopping Iris then, otherwise his precious daughter Iris would not have died.

Thinking about this, Angelo was even more determined not to let it get out of hand.
