Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 982: The Heart of the Universe.

Angelo would plan to leave to convince Manuel to stay with him. He did not expect to see his grandson showing great attention to Serena as he left the studio. Besides, he thought his grandfather would propose to him to do something with his wife!

"Am I such an unreasonable old man?" he thought.

At the sound of Angelo's voice, Cristian raised his head. He saw Angelo's sorry eyes.

He squinted his thin lips without answering them.

Probably because of the things Angelo had done in the company, which had left a deep impression on Cristian, therefore, he felt he would embarrass Serena.

-Angelo, you have other things to do, don't you? -Serena broke the impasse at that moment.

Having reminded her, Angelo suddenly realized that he had other important things to do. He looked around and saw Manuel standing not far away. With joy on his face, he took a step toward him. Soon, Angelo walked toward Manuel and stood in front of him. He stepped forward to greet him, "Be careful, great-grandfather.

-Manuel, I have something to ask you, do you want to talk to me somewhere else?

The boy blinked and unconsciously raised his head to look at Uncle Matthew.

The man nodded slightly.

-Okay. Let's go," after saying this, Manuel took the initiative to take Angelo's hand. The two walked off in another direction.

Seeing them leave, Beatrice cast a glance at Matthew, "Aren't you worried about letting Manuel go with him? Aren't you afraid that your sister will settle the score with you?

Matteo looked unconcerned: "The one who took him is Manuel's great-grandfather. What account does Serena want to settle with me?

Beatrice scoffed with her arms folded across her chest without answering him.

-Beatrice. Matthew.

When Manuel was brought in, Serena also brought Cristian in and they both called them.

They both nodded, but at that moment, Beatrice suddenly noticed a box in Serena's hand that looked particularly exquisite. She had not seen it in her hand when she entered the studio.

She has...

-Serena, what is that in your hand? -Beatrice could not help but ask aloud.

Hearing this, Serena lowered her head as she looked at the box: -Angelo gave it to me in the study a while ago and said it was...a housewarming gift.

-A housewarming gift? -Beatrice arched her eyebrows in surprise. She giggled: -What kind of gift did he give you?

Serena shook her head: -I don't know. I haven't opened it yet.

-Open it now. It's very delicate the design of this box, maybe it's something good? -Beatrice said jokingly.

Matteo and Cristian heard her and their eyes fell on the box.

Actually, they were curious.

For everyone, Angelo's attitude toward Serena was always obvious, so they were all very curious about what kind of gift Angelo would give her this time.

Serena would have liked to open it when she had time to return, but at that moment Beatrice suggested it. It would have been inappropriate if she did not open it, so she nodded and did so slowly. The box was so cleverly designed that it could not be opened directly. There were some small organs that had to be opened before the lid.

Serena was a designer. Although she designed clothes, she possessed great talent in design. So although she was a little confused at first she opened it easily after studying it.

When she managed to open it, a flash suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

A blue diamond necklace lay silently in the box.

At the sight of it, everyone's expression changed except for Serena.

Beatrice, in particular, upon noticing it was immediately amazed and her eyes widened.

Under the light, the blue diamond lingered with a faint blue glow, like a dream, like the endless sea, and like the vast starry sky of the universe, so beautiful that one could not move one's eyes. Serena's calm face also changed a little when he looked at her. Her mouth opened slightly.

Although she had not seen it, she had investigated and discovered the uniqueness. Moreover, the value of such a large diamond? would surely have been much higher than he would have imagined.

That... was...

Suddenly, Serena felt the box she was holding become heavy, so heavy she could barely hold it.

-The heart of the universe.

Matthew, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said four words aloud.

Serena looked at him and Cristian immediately agreed: -Yes. That's it.

The heart of the universe?

Had they given it such a magnificent name?

Serena felt a little strange, though: why did such a beautiful necklace have such a name?

Was there a special meaning?

Beatrice examined it. Tears gradually appeared in her eyes and she was a little excited.

-It seemed that Beatrice was very familiar with this necklace,II Matthew looked at her and turned his attention to his aunt, waiting for her to answer the questions.

When everyone looked at her, she came back to herself. She held back the tears that remained in her eye sockets and then smiled slightly, "Yes, I know very well. Very well... She thought for a while, probably pondering how to speak.

A few minutes later, she said directly, "Before my mother died, this diamond necklace had belonged to her. It was a gift from the old man, a favorite in her life. But... when she became ill, he gave it to my sister, telling her that he did not want such a beautiful diamond to be contaminated by the disease.

At this, Beatrice paused and then continued, "So strictly speaking, it should be my sister's dowry. Only when we left home, she kept it and didn't bring it, because she knew it meant a lot to both the old man and my mother. So. even though she was very angry, she couldn't take away something so significant. After we left, they left it with the Calligaris family. I did not expect... that she would keep it.

She even enclosed it in such a beautiful box.

Suddenly, Beatrice didn't hate Angelo so much.

At least he had been able to keep it, which showed that he had not forgotten the past.

After listening to the story, Serena finally knew the origin of the necklace. She handed the box to Beatrice for a moment, -Beatrice, this is too expensive. Since it's your sister's then?

She could not accept it. If she had known that the box contained something so valuable, she surely would not have accepted it.
