Virginity in second marriages

Chapter 176: Why are you reluctant to leave?

Serena stood at the entrance of the company while held a gift box, waiting for Alice.

When Alice got out of Cristian's car, she pushed Cristian out and turned to Serena with a smile,

"Serena, what's in your hand?"

As she finished speaking, Serena felt there was a look on her face as sharp as a knife.

Cristian's gaze was as icy as that of a venomous snake, and Serena could help but contract her neck

and unconsciously clutch the box with her hands.

It was an unconscious action, but in Cristian's eyes that box must be very important to her.

Before she got on Leonardo's car, she was empty-handed, but now with a box? What did it represent?

She was indeed a vain woman.

"Nothing." Serena whispered, clutching the box in her hand, but Alice smiled and pushed Cristian

forward next to her. Serena could feel Cristian's icy, enveloping breath.

She took a step back in an attempt to free herself from his icy encirclement.

"Serena, is this Leonardo's gift? Didn't you bring this box as soon as you got out of the car?"

Hearing this, Serena felt distressed and hoped she could stop talking.

So she winked at Alice, but Alice did not understand what was going on. It really seemed that Alice did

not understand what she meant.

Serena was agitated, but she could not say it outright.

Leonardo parked the car and returned.

"It's nothing. I asked her to help me take it to my colleague."

"I thought it was a gift from you." Alice curled her lips and giggled. That expression...like a cat that had

stolen the fish. At first, Serena thought Alice had not understood her look.

Now, however, she understood, Alice was doing it intentionally!

Why?

Alice knew that the person Serena slept with that night was Leonardo!!!

At the thought, Serena paled, turned and said, "Come in."

Then she quickly left.

"What's wrong?" Alice asked nonchalantly.

Leonardo looked at her, squinted slightly, then left as well.

After they left. Alice pushed Cristian forward, but Luca jumped out.

"Miss Alice, I'll do it."

"No problem." Alice did not back away, but remained still, as if she did not want him to push Cristian's

wheelchair.

Luca can not did it as she wished.

"It doesn't matter, Miss Alice. You are not familiar with the company. I'll do it." After speaking, Luke

pushed Cristian directly and left without waiting for a reaction from Alice.

Alice stood petrified and stared blankly at Luca who was walking away.

She did not know if it was just her impression, but she felt Luca was very hostile toward her. Why?

Because of Serena?

Luca quickly advanced to catch up with Serena and Leonardo and entered the elevator. When he saw

Alice coming, he moved to the corner and pressed the close button directly.

"Wait for me" She hurriedly called out and saw that the elevator door was closing.

"I am not waiting for you, bitch!" Luca insulted her inwardly.

Next, a petite figure rushed out of the elevator.

It was Serena, "You go up first. I'll come later with Alice."

The elevator door had just closed and Serena returned to Alice.

"Alice."

"Serena..." Alice looked over her shoulder and saw that the door had already closed. A look of

disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She wanted to get on the same elevator with Cristian, but it seemed there was no longer a chance.

"I'll accompany you. Let's take another elevator." Serena accompanied her on another elevator, and This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Alice looked at the box in her hands, "Is it a gift from Leonardo?"

After listening to her, Serena waited a moment and then nodded.

"Ah, Yes."

"Good. I say he likes you! You would be much happier with him than with Cristian." Alice was

squawking and her tone of voice was high.

Serena felt a guilty conscience. Hearing her speak so loudly, Serena's face changed and covered

Alice's mouth with her hand.

"The walls have ears. Don't talk nonsense."

Alice giggled and pulled her hand down, "What are you afraid of? I'm just telling the truth. If others hear

that too, there would be nothing to be afraid of. After all, the baby you are carrying..."

"Enough!" Serena's expression changed drastically and she scolded Alice harshly.

Alice stopped smiling, staring at her for a long time. She lowered her eyes, "I'm sorry, Serena. I didn't

think it bothered you so much. It's my fault, so I won't talk about it anymore."

After Alice apologized to her, Serena also felt she had gone too far and wanted to explain herself, "I

don't want to scold you, but there are a lot of people in the company and I'm afraid that people might

take what you said too seriously, creating unnecessary problems."

"I know."

Alice wrung her hands furiously, "But I'm saying this for your own good! Cristian doesn't consider you at

all now. He doesn't dignify you with a glance and even lets you fall to the ground. I really don't

understand how you have been able to resist so far."

"There is an agreement between us." Serena sighed helplessly with a bewildered look.

"However, it's been almost two months and a few more to go."

"A few months..." Alice suddenly lifted her head to remind her, "Serena, what are you thinking? Why

you have to wait until the agreed date?"

"Why... not?" Serena herself did not know what to think if he nevertheless allowed her to leave him

now.

There seemed to be some reluctance in her heart. She did not know the reason either.

"No!" Alice began to fidget at her answer. "Serena, you know that in another four months, your belly will

be obvious and if you don't leave Cristian in advance, everyone will understand that the baby you are

carrying is Cristian's!"

Serena: "Really?"

"In my opinion you should leave him quickly and get with Leonardo. I know you don't want to say it, but

I can speak for you."

Just then the elevator arrived. Alice rushed out and Serena's heart was in her throat with fear. She

moved forward to stop her, "Alice, don't be impulsive. This is a delicate matter that needs to be

discussed."

"What to discuss? I can wait. He can wait. But can the baby in your belly wait? Serena, why do you

persist in rejecting my proposal? Basically you are reluctant to the idea of leaving Cristian. You like him,

don't you?"
