Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 841: You don't call me grandpa.

Domenico was also surprised because Domenico had thought that Serena accepting Angelo's request by accepting the money would mean that she accepted him, but he did not expect the girl to refuse. Domenico was a little surprised that things had taken a 180-degree turn. He looked at Serena, who was smiling like a fox, and he couldn't help but smile inwardly as well. He thought to himself, Cristian really likes unusual women.... Domenico chose to trust Cristian.

Serena, a woman who could make Cristian fall in love so deeply, meant that there had to be something extraordinary about her, so she would not take the money and leave Cristian.

-Grandpa, do you want some tea? I'll go get you a cup of tea.

Angelo snapped and growled at her, "You don't call me grandfather!

Serena blinked and made an innocent expression, "Why? Grandpa, you just met me and gave me such a nice red envelope, I should be nice too.

-I gave you the money because?

But before Angelo could finish his sentence, Serena left and the room fell into silence, no one daring to speak.

In this silence, Angelo finally could not resist asking Domenico: -Where did it go?

Dominic thought about the conversation that had just taken place and said uncertainly, "Could she have gone to make you some tea?

Angelo was confused, -What tea? Would I drink the tea he gave me?

Domenico coughed softly and could not resist explaining to Angelo, "I think she is a very intelligent girl.

Hearing her compliment, Angelo was unhappy because he still wanted Cristian and Maddalena Landi to marry. So he replied;

-She is just a girl with no social experience who has the audacity to make fun of me. Take my money and do not accede to the demands I make of her, and I will show her that the world does not work so well!

Angelo's tone was firm, and Domenico could not help but worry about Serena when he heard these words. After all, Mr. Angelo was a successful businessman who knew many tricks, and Serena was really too naive. But as a housekeeper, she dared not explain herself further for Serena, and could only stand by her master's side and keep quiet.

-She is trying to tease me. Domenico, when she comes later you tell her that I will not drink tea, that if she knows what she is doing she will leave the company alone or I will throw her out myself. Domenico did not say anything. Because Domenico did not want to, but he had to obey his master's orders and felt conflicted inside.

After a while, Serena returned with a cup of tea.

The tea was still steaming in her hands, and she brought the cup to Mr. Angelo before carefully placing it on the table.

-Grandfather, this is the tea I just made for you, please try it.

Although Angelo had erased Serena and Cristian's past and prevented Serena and Cristian from being together by getting Cristian engaged to another girl. But Angelo was Cristian's family and he was also Cristian's grandfather. So even though Serena kept track of all the unpleasant things that had happened before, she still wanted Angelo to trust and love her.

In addition, Serena did not want her and Cristian's love to be opposed by their relatives to the point of not being blessed.

She knew that, even in the 21st century, there were still many couples whose love was rejected by their families and not blessed by them, and Serena did not want this to happen to her and Cristian. Angelo looked disdainfully at the teacup and did nothing. But the tea on the table was so close to him that he could smell the aroma emanating from the cup almost effortlessly. He was fascinated by the aroma of tea.

Tea drinking was a hobby of Angelo's, something many people knew about. But Serena had no free time to prepare it and had to speculate about the ingredients around her.

-Domenico! -Angelo called his butler.

Domenico returned to the room from his thoughts, looked at his master, then at his teacup, reluctantly approached and said,

-Mrs. Serena, since you took the check, I advise you to leave our company.

Only a few people know now, saving your face, and if you insist on not leaving, then....

Serena answered and said to Angelo,

-Grandfather, do you want to tell me to take the day off?

Neither Angelo nor Domenico knew what to say.

But Angelo managed to replace an ounce of common sense in the face of such a rhetorical question and said, "Domenico, tell her the truth.

-Domenico, say it straight to the point.

Dominic nodded, stepped forward and said solemnly.

-Mrs. Serena, our gentleman wants you to take the money and leave the company and leave the Calligaris family, there is enough money in that check to live a rich life for the rest of your life. If you are not willing to follow our advice, we in the Calligaris family will resort to violence to make you leave, and if that happens you risk being hurt, perhaps even seriously.

The words were direct, and Angelo gave Domenico a satisfied look.

They had rightly made it clear that Serena, had she been a normal woman with a sense of shame, would have taken the money and left, but instead she remained at the table with a smile on her face and whispered.

-I have the ability to earn money, Mr. Angelo, please don't worry about my future, and I thought this check was a gift from you, and since things are not as I thought, I can't accept it," then put the envelope back on the table.

Everyone present was surprised that she had returned the envelope. It was the equivalent of returning the money to Mr. Angelo, which meant that she would not leave Cristian for this, and because of this gesture, Domenico was a little more impressed with Serena.

But Angelo was not happy, and said fiercely.

-How dare you return a check you have already accepted?

Serena smiled and replied, "I wouldn't have taken the money unless it was a gift you weren't asking for in return.

Angelo narrowed his eyes as he looked at Serena, who had maintained a calm demeanor from the moment they met until now. And there was not the slightest hint of fear. Serena's character came as a surprise to Angelo, because she faced every problem that came her way calmly and always had a solution.

Actually, Angelo admires Serena because she is so much better than those girls who run away or cry when things get tough, but it's a shame!

-When you went to make tea, did you open the envelope? Angelo asked, but before Serena could answer, he added, -Do you think I gave you less money? Tell me how much money you want. I will give you as much money as you want, as long as you are willing to leave Cristian.

Angelo spoke these words generously, as if he could buy the whole world with money.

Serena could not help but ask when she heard these words.

-Mr. Angelo, if I am willing to leave Cristian, will you fulfill all my demands?

Angelo looked at Serena with displeasure and nodded his head. Domenico, on the other hand, felt that things were not that simple, because he felt that Serena was not one of those ordinary girls. And Serena's look and the tone of her voice made it seem like she was not really making a request.

Undoubtedly, the next words he spoke took everyone present by surprise.

-Grandfather, I don't ask for much, but since you are so generous, then please give me the Calligaris family.
