After Umberto said that, the atmosphere in the car was a little tense.
The call came from Macos.
As soon as Albina answered, she heard Macos’ voice very loud, showing joy:
-Albina, is the matter going to be resolved? Is the Carballal Group going to go bankrupt and I don’t have to humiliate myself in front of Yolanda any more?
When the end came, Albina could hear the cry in Macos’ voice.
During this time, he did everything to please Yolanda. Even she rejected him, he continued to flatter her. Macos felt that he had suffered a great humiliation.
Albina could sense, or that when he said this, he showed a joy that the slave finally had enough money to redeem himself.
She and Umberto looked at each other and smiled softly, but what they said made Macos groan again.
-The battle is about to be won, so you must keep up your efforts. Lila still won’t take action, which means your mission is not yet completed.
After saying this, a sound came from Macos.
Albina froze for a moment:
-What’s wrong?
After a long time, Macos took a deep breath and said:
-I fell off the chair.
Albina almost couldn’t help but laugh.
-Don’t worry, it will happen in these two days. Lila can’t contain herself, I guess she could contact you later to know your attitude, you can overdo it.
Macos agreed. He made a call with glee and hung up disgruntled.
When Albina hung up the phone, she finally couldn’t help but laugh. Umberto looked at her cheerful appearance and laughed too.
-This Macos, he’s a funny guy,” Umberto said with a smile.
He had contact with these people in the circle since childhood, but he only had the best relationship with Camilo and Santiago. As for Macos, he didn’t have much contact.
I only knew that Macos was well educated and a good character. In the circle, among the young men of his generation, he was considered diligent. After graduating from college, he did not depend on his parents and set up a company himself. The business of the company was not bad and could be considered strong.
-Umberto, Macos told me that the reason he agreed that he flattered Yolanda was to get funds from his family and secondly, in exchange for the freedom of marriage. Do you think he loves someone?
Umberto shook his head:
-I don’t hear that he is close with a girl, but I know that Macos has an older brother who inherits most of the family property. He is the second son and the requirement for his marriage is not so strict, so he agreed to this.
After chatting for a long time, they arrived at the residence where he rented the house.
There were not many things in the house. After Ariana moved in, it was already half empty. Albina quickly arranged and handed over the house to the owner.
Umberto drove her back to Espina’s house. As they got closer, Albina became a little nervous.
When she arrived, she opened the door and saw that everything that belonged to Ramon’s family was gone. The whole house was empty, just the furniture and some ornaments that her parents bought a long time ago.
Umberto helped her carry the luggage upstairs and put it in the living room. He saw Albina staring at an empty spot on the wall in a trance.
He frowned, walked over and hugged her gently from behind:
-Albina, what are you looking at?
-Albina pointed to the wall where there was a hole, where it should have been nailed before.
-What used to hang here is the picture of our family of three.
When she said that, she remembered what the house looked like before. He thought that after so many years, he should have forgotten it, but as soon as he entered the house, all the memories seemed like a switch and everything flooded his mind.
Albina said, her eyes were a little moist:
-This family photo was taken with my parents when I was going to study abroad. My mother said that when I wasn’t home, she would miss me, so she took us to take a picture. She hung it in the most visible place in the living room, she said that as long as I looked up and saw it, she would feel that I was still at home.
Ramon had probably thrown it away, she would never be found again.
Umberto tightened his arms, took Albina in his arms and caressed her.
He didn’t know how to comfort her, he had never experienced this before and couldn’t feel the same as Albina. But he knew Albina was sad now and needed his comfort.
Albina wiped the tears on her face and smiled stiffly at Umberto:
-It’s all over, let’s go to the attic first.
Ramon said that some of his parents’ things were thrown into the attic by them.
Albina hadn’t gone there yet and didn’t let anyone touch the things in the attic. She didn’t know how many of her parents’ belongings were left there.
The two of them went up to the attic.
It hadn’t been cleaned here for a long time. Spider silk was knotted in the corners, everything was covered with a layer of dust. There were many miscellaneous things inside.
There were also some messy things that Ramon’s family didn’t use before.
Albina didn’t feel it was messy, she threw Ramon’s things without expression and went about looking for her parents’ belongings.
One after another, she took out some small things, decorated vases and many things, but nothing really related to her parents.
Umberto also helped her search. In the end, they were both a bit discouraged and finally found a small box with a padlock.
Albina curiously held the small box and muttered:
-I don’t know if this belongs to Ramon’s family or to my parents.
-Open it if you don’t know -Umberto squatted down next to her and looked at the small box with her.
Albina looked around:
-I don’t have a key, I’ll find a hammer.
-No need,” Umberto took it and looked at the padlock. This padlock looks old and should be easy to open.
After speaking, he grabbed the rusty padlock and unscrewed it with light force.
Albina took his hand and looked at it with surprise.
Umberto smiled happily and handed her the box:
-Open it.
Albina opened the box and saw what was inside. At first glance, she knew it had been left by her parents.
Because the top one was a small red certificate with Certificate of Adoption Registration.
The certificate was a bit old, but it was well preserved.
Albina’s eyes suddenly turned red, tears welled up uncontrollably, her voice choked:
-In fact, I still have hope in my heart. Even if Ramon and Grandma prove that my parents adopted me, I still believe in my heart that they are lying to me, to avenge me.
But seeing this adoption certificate, she could not deceive herself.
It turned out that she was adopted by her parents.
Umberto was by her side, he saw her crying as she held the box. There were countless words in his heart that he wanted to say to her, but he couldn’t say a word. He kept caressing her back with his hand….
His movements were regular and gentle, which calmed Albina’s emotion.
She stopped crying, but she was still choking involuntarily. Her eyes were red and she looked pitiful and cute.
Albina opened the adoption certificate and there was a photo. It was a picture taken by her young parents holding her.
In the photo, Juan and Marisa were smiling and their eyes were full of happiness and love. They held Albina together and smiled beautifully at the camera.
Albina looked like she was only two years old, innocent and tender, with round cheeks, which made people want to touch.
She looked at the camera with round and dazed eyes, she looked very cute.
Umberto looked at little Albina with incredibly soft eyes.
In the future, his and Albina’s daughter would probably look like this.
-When your parents adopted you, they must have been full of happiness,” Umberto pointed to the photo and said to Albina.
