Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 979: Controlling emotions well

For so many years, Angelo Calligaris had eaten alone.

Although Domenico accompanied him, they were, after all, two old men, so there were not many topics to talk about between them. How bitter!

Angelo had not been born to be alone; he had enjoyed life with his wife and daughter, and many mistresses. Without his inner fortitude, it was impossible to live life like that for so long. Now his youngest daughter was with him.

Although his other daughter was not by his side, his grandson had come with his relatives, it was a family of three. Oh no, it was already a family of four.

Matthew had also attended with Serena.

There were eight people present, including Dominic and Angelo.

What a liveliness!

Angelo was smiling, it was a laughter that appeared in his eyes, in his heart and in his face, and Manuel was sitting next to him, which gave him more pleasure. Thanks to Manuel, Angelo had more sympathy for Serena than before.

In fact, he had hardly ever sympathized with Serena, with his pride, one could not tell.

However, Manuel's company was like a brainwashing for Angelo; if he had made a liking rating for Serena, it would have been seventy points out of a hundred. But he was still proud, so he could not express his satisfaction with Serena, leaving his dignity behind.

Fortunately, he had greeted Matteo, and then the two of them had talked for a while.

They were heads of the same group, so they had a lot to talk about.

It did not take long for him to rectify his opinion of Matteo; Angelo considered him a trustworthy person.

During dinner, Manuel often spoke for Serena in front of Angelo.

However, Beatrice Marchetti was distracted, looking at so many people, thoughts raced through her mind, and she was reminded of the past.

At that time, she was very young, her older sister was the one who was kindest to her.

Since she had given birth to Beatrice, her mother had had some health problems, she had spent some years in bed, although she had treated herself with very expensive medicine, she had eventually left this world.

When her mother died, Iris Marchetti became the kindest to Beatrice.

She cared for Beatrice as if she were her own daughter. Angelo was very sad about the woman's death, in fact, he had been sick, and then, overcome by homesickness, because of that, many business matters were postponed.

Then, after putting his wife's affairs in order, Angelo had many things to undo, and he naturally ignored his daughters.

At first his daughters understood him, but gradually the relations between them grew weaker and weaker.

For children, the company of parents is very important.

But the words the two girls heard most were that Angelo would have work commitments, and they would not have to wait for him to have dinner together.

They would see each other less at first, and then they would have no more time to be together.

Beatrice scoffed in her heart at the thought.

-Angelo's only virtue was that he sincerely fell in love with his wife, his mother died very early, her price was already astronomical, many women wanted to be with him, but he ignored them. -The widower did not marry anyone or flirt with anyone.

-The pity was that he wanted too much to control everything in his hands.

-He persuaded Iris to marry the son of his business partner, and forced Iris and me to leave the family.

-If he hadn't done that, Iris wouldn't have died, II thought Beatrice.

-Beatrice! -quoted Manuel.

When Beatrice was lost in her thoughts, an immature voice woke her up. She looked up and met Manuel's innocent and curious gaze; he asked, -Why are you crying, Beatrice? Hearing this, everyone present turned their heads toward Beatrice out of curiosity.

Beatrice was stunned, touched her cheeks with her hand unconsciously, and tears rose to her eyes.

-Am I crying? I hadn't noticed," Beatrice exclaimed in her heart.

It was unexpected for her; what she had done was remember the past, and then she was lost in her thoughts.

She could not get over the flood of memories and cried.

-It's a blunder. There are a lot of people here, besides, most of them are from the younger generation," Beatrice thought.

At that moment, Beatrice immediately stood up and showed a laugh, although it was forced, and explained, -It will be because of the spicy dishes, I'm going to wash my face. After the words, she turned around and went to the bathroom.

The phenomenon had begun to get stranger since that interlude. Although Beatrice kept a laugh on her face, after her departure, everyone was no longer in the mood to talk. Even Serena was worried about her. After some thought, she put her chopsticks down on the table and said, standing up, "I'm going to take a look.

No one held her back, Cristian said in a low tone, "If you need me, tell me.

-All right," Serena replied.

Serena went to the bathroom, the Calligaris family home was very large, with the help of the servants, eventually, Serena managed to replace the bathroom.

What she did not know, however, was that after she had left, Cristian had said to Angelo, who was sitting across from him, "Grandpa, I have something to tell you.

When Serena reached the bathroom, she thanked the servants. They replied that they were not needed with reverence and awe, and then went out.

Serena entered the bathroom, thinking that she would have to look for a while, however, with only a glance, she was able to replace that Beatrice was standing there watching, leaning against the sink. There were still traces of tears on her cheeks. She did not seem to be in a hurry to leave, so she had not washed when she entered the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Beatrice turned her eyes in the direction. When she realized it was Serena, she smiled and said, "You come.

Serena stopped her steps and looked at Beatrice confused.

Because she was Cristian's aunt, but, in fact, she was not very close with her. Now seeing her laughing with tears, Serena was very sad.

-In fact, you didn't need to come, I can control my emotions well, II Beatrice said at that moment.

Serena moved her lips slightly, walked over to her and stood beside her, handed her some napkins. -Clean them, Beatrice," said Serena.

She looked at the napkins for a while, and took them, Beatrice took one out to wipe away the tears, sniffing, and said: -In fact, I remembered the past, and felt many emotions, they were not of sadness. -But the tears came spontaneously, if Manuel hadn't remembered me, I wouldn't have noticed,II thought Beatrice.

-The past...II murmured Serena.

-Yes, that man... It is his fault, if he had not forced us, we would not have run away from home. If we hadn't run away from the house, we wouldn't have--my older sister, Iris, who is your mother-in-law, wouldn't have died.
