Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 907: Does it fascinate you to throw slander at me?

Cristian looked at her as he was completely immersed in his thoughts. However, Serena sensed the anger in his gaze, and suddenly felt particularly nervous and worried that she had gone too far and angered him. Serena tugged at his sleeve very carefully and asked in a low voice: -What is wrong with you?

Cristian came back to himself and saw that she was looking at him nervously and fearfully. This pretty face dispelled all the doubts that had pervaded his heart. For him, the great satisfaction was having her by his side.

He said to himself inwardly, "It is impossible that she does not love me. Her looks, her kisses, her touches -- they are all loving, enough to show that she really loves me. She cannot pretend. Then what do I care about her past?

But. Who is the father of this child in her womb?

From this doubt he derived even more jealousy, which made him on the verge of going mad.

Suddenly, he felt a soft, warm hand covering his face, and he looked closely at the person who was touching him.

It was Serena. As she stroked his face, she looked at him with concern.

She asked, "What's wrong? You seem very distracted, did my words offend you?

Cristian shook his head and told her not to think too much. Serena bit her lip as she asked him, "Do you think I thought too much?

I see you are in a bad mood lately, is it because of me?

Serena thought, "Maybe I've been too happy in front of him, if I had known he didn't like it, I would have held back."

At that moment, Cristian touched the tip of her nose, replying, "Nonsense! I haven't been in a bad mood. It's just that I'm very sorry to see you in so much pain.

His words sounded very convincing, so Serena felt great relief. Then she hugged him warmly to make Cristian feel a little better.

After a while, "Come on, let's get ready to go home!" came out of Cristian's mouth. He took her by the hand and the two went to the bedroom to get their things.

By this time, Beatrice was already waiting for them in the apartment, knowing that Serena was about to be discharged, so she wanted to cook a very nutritious meal to welcome Serena.

Serena and Cristian got into the car to drive home. Suddenly she felt a twinge of homesickness when she remembered that tonight was New Year's Eve, an important time for the whole family to be together. While Cristian was anemic, there was no way for her to bring Manuel there to spend New Year's Eve together.

Fortunately, she had kept a photo of Manuel in the drawer of the previous apartment.

She thought, "If I take the photo to the apartment where I live now, could it be that the family is reunited somehow?"

With such an idea, she plucked up the courage to ask Cristian, "Can I go back to my old apartment?

Although she had moved from there to live with Cristian, she was still paying rent because there were still some things in there that she had not had time to move.

Cristian nodded. Then he changed the direction of the car and headed for the rented apartment. Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

When Serena got out of the car, Cristian wanted to follow her upstairs, but Serena refused. Serena told him, "I'll only stay a few minutes, because I'm not doing anything but picking up a few things. Wait for me in the car, I'll be right back.

Actually, she wanted to go upstairs to get Manuel's picture without Cristian knowing.

Cristian looked at her and asked, "You really don't need me to go with you?

Serena shook her head no and replied, "No, I'll be back soon, don't worry. I will just bring some things, they are not heavy, so I can take care of them without any problems. Stay here, I'll be right back. Cristian did not insist anymore, nodding his head, but he did not stop warning her, "If you need anything, call me from the hallway.

Serena kissed him and left him to go upstairs. As she was looking for the key to open the door, her neighbor came out with a garbage bag in her hand. She was surprised to see Serena and asked her, "Why did you come back?

Serena was also surprised, and it immediately occurred to her that that harpy next to her had indulged in so much sarcasm last time . . That took away her desire to talk to her. Therefore, she decided to ignore her and concentrate on replaceing her keys.

Nevertheless, Serena's silence provoked jokes from that neighbor who did not want to leave. That woman began to spill her stinging words, saying, "Did that rich man abandon you? After the move, you still have this rented apartment, is it to have an extra outlet? You are afraid that man will leave you, aren't you? With a rented apartment, you can have a place to stay if he throws you out, right? Another question: how much money is that man paying you? I saw that he has a fancy car, he must be very rich?

Finally the keys appeared. Serena managed to save herself from those unbearable words. After opening the door, she turned her head and cast a look full of contempt at her neighbor.

The neighbor was surprised by this look and stammered: -I.... Everything I said was right. I see it didn't take you a month to replace a steady customer, one who is young, handsome and has money. I'm sure you're an old hand at picking the rich.

Serena replied with a scornful look, "You don't give a damn!

The neighbor, who did not know what to say to retort, decided to criticize Serena for swearing.

At that point, Serena had had enough of putting up with him. She approached this neighbor, saying in a dismissive tone, "Compared to your fancy words, it is true that my speech was vulgar. I should record what you said to listen to it at home, so you will know how good it is.

You have the ability to insult without saying a bad word, I admire you very much!

These words served as a bombshell, which left the neighbor very embarrassed.

However, the neighbor did not give up and argued, "What I said are facts.

-Have you seen it with your own eyes? This is not the first time you have given me slander. It fascinates you to offend, doesn't it? It makes you jealous to see that I'm with rich people? Then why don't you dare to seduce a rich man? Let's see if you are able to win a rich man who will take you away from this shack.

These words succeeded in provoking the fury of the neighbor. She began cursing like a madwoman, "Bitch! What are you talking about? Do you want me to be a whore like you? Do you feel proud of your debauchery?

-Don't take others as whores just because of your jealousy.

You are so persistent in criticizing me, isn't it because you are mad with envy? That's why you bark like a rabid dog whenever you see me, isn't it?" said Serena firmly.

At such strong words, the neighbor felt unable to respond, and could only stare at her with hatred.

Serena added, "No more retorts? You have made fun of me so many times, I thought you were so strong in arguments, do you really have no more criticism of me? Then leave me alone, or I'll let you live in hel forever.

This place was not so miserable as to be a slum, but the woman called it that because she was disgusted with the low class.

She longed to have a mansion with a rich man, and when she saw that Serena was with Cristian, she became quite jealous. Complaining that her boyfriend was poor and worthless gradually became part of her routine. In fact, she wished she could have been like Serena and caught a rich suitor instead of wasting her youth here with a poor man.

She spent every day in misery. She blamed her unhappiness on an unfair fate, always looked for trouble from her boyfriend, and in this way she could let off steam.

Tonight, she had just had an argument with her boyfriend, who then left her alone to go out drinking. Seeing that Serena had returned, the neighbor took the opportunity to get her into trouble to vent her anger.
