-I heard that they gave her sterilization drugs, and it’s impossible for her to have children in this life.
Umberto spoke casually, as easily as if he were talking about the weather.
-Really?
She felt no sympathy for Yolanda, who had done so many bad things. She deserved it.
Umberto said indifferently:
-Compared to what she did, it’s nothing serious. Although the person who poisoned her was someone else, the person who delivered the food to her was her friend, Emma.
This surprised Albina. “Emma and Yolanda have always been close.”
-Ya, let’s not talk about her.
Albina shook her head and concentrated on watching Umberto chopping vegetables.
He seemed to have practiced a lot, doing it with a lot of skill, and the final product was very beautiful.
Umberto worked for a long time before he finally succeeded.
-Come and serve the dishes,” said Umberto, taking the done vegetables out of the pot and instructing Albina to take out the dishes that had been made earlier.
As she was very hungry, hearing this, she hurried to the kitchen and came out with a plate of cutlets.
It looked so delicious that it made her mouth water.
Albina couldn’t resist tasting it.
The taste was even better than she had imagined.
-How delicious! -she exclaimed, and he smacked her upside the head.
Umberto held the plate, looked at her and smiled:
-You haven’t washed your hands.
Albina smiled sweetly:
-Then these cutlets will be mine.
She loved this dish.
Umberto laughed:
-Okay, everything is made especially for you. And the next one is even better!
Only when all the dishes were served, Albina realized that she had done a lot.
When Umberto was about to give her a plate, Albina quickly stopped him and took out her phone:
-Wait, I’ll take a picture first.
She took a few pictures from all angles:
-Yesterday I told Ariana I was with you. I want to show her that my boyfriend is handsome, and capable of earning money and cooking. So she doesn’t have to worry.
When Umberto heard her constant praise, he felt very happy.
Then he too took out his phone, took a picture of her and sent it to his group with Camilo and Santiago.
And he made it clear that he had done it himself.
As soon as the message was sent, Camilo replied instantly, adding many exclamation points:
-Umberto! I haven’t tasted a single meal you cook since we were kids!
-Woman is more important to you than friends!
Santiago answered immediately:
-Next time you should prepare a meal for us.
Camilo agreed instantly:
-Yes. We’ll bring the ingredients.
Umberto looked at the group’s message, made an indifferent face, typed a few words and sent it, then turned his phone straight off.
When Camilo and Santiago saw the words “absolutely not” sent by Umberto, their faces filled with aggravation.
“Twenty years of friendship is not worth one meal!”
Albina was satisfied by this meal and sat down in a comfortable chair.
Umberto smiled at her appearance and, without a word, went straight to clearing the table.
Albina looked at this hardworking man and felt very guilty, so she hurriedly got up from her chair and said to him:
-Let me do it.
-It’s not necessary,” Umberto pulled his hand away and smiled, “The dishes are greasy and hard to handle. Go watch TV, and I’ll come and keep you company soon.
He pushed her to sit on the sofa, and also washed fruit and put it on the table.
It surprised Albina that she was being looked after so well, because this man had changed so much.
She didn’t bother to watch TV, she picked up the strawberries, leaned over the back of the sofa, watched him attentively washing the dishes and suddenly asked him:
-Umberto, why are you so good to me?
He asked with a smile:
-Don’t you like it here?
-You didn’t use to do the housework, nor were you nice at all before – Albina said, looking at the red strawberries -Is the reason why you have become like this to make it up to me?
Hearing these words, Umberto put down the dishes, washed his hands and walked straight to Albina.
Umberto grabbed her cheek and kissed her directly without waiting for her response.
His kiss was fierce. He couldn’t help but lessen the force for fear of hurting her.
-What are you thinking about? -Umberto released her. Isn’t my love for you obvious?
Albina raised her head, and looked at him stunned.
When Umberto saw that stupefied expression, she gritted her teeth fiercely to control the longing in her heart before continuing:
-Actually, I have treated you badly in the past, and I regret and reflect on my mistakes, so I want to make it up to you for the rest of my life.
-But that’s not all. Because I love you, I can’t help but want to pamper and protect you.
He showed a smile with special gentleness:
-Now do you know?
Surprised by this confession, Albina’s face flushed instantly and she lowered her head, ashamed to look at him:
-I know now.
Because she had always longed for his love, but had never succeeded. Suddenly she was treated so well by him that she felt a little strange and began to doubt this kindness.
She feared that he was not doing it for love, as when they were married three years ago.
Albina felt that she could no longer bear the blows she had received, and if she did it again, she feared she would really go mad.
Umberto washed the dishes and sat on the sofa to watch TV with her.
It was all boring soap operas. Albina looked at Umberto and thought he was even more handsome than the main character.
While this couple was affectionate, Yolanda in the hospital seemed to be crazy.
Knowing her condition, Yolanda had sought several doctors in a row and all of them were very famous.
But after examining her, they all shook their heads and sighed, saying that the chances of cure were slim and the chances of pregnancy almost nil.
Angry and anxious, Yolanda called her mother and told her to take revenge on Familia Pinto and Familia Elvira as soon as possible.
When the mother received the call, she and Julio looked at each other helplessly.
As Yolanda was relentless, her mother could only tell her the information they had found out.
-When we found out that Mia and Emma had hurt you, we rushed to prepare revenge against both of them. However, we discovered that Familia Pinto had shifted its business focus abroad, that both Mia and Emma had left the country and would never return, and that Familia Elvira had announced that it had cut ties with Emma.
-Under this situation, even if we want to avenge you, we can’t do it.
