He was very strange.
This feeling of Albina’s grew stronger and stronger. She felt that she was not familiar with Miguel standing in front of her, as if she was in front of a stranger.
There was no sweetness like before, he was just full of power and domination, just like the feeling Umberto gave her.
But they were two completely different people.
Albina took a deep breath and said:
-Miguel, can you let go of me? My arm hurts so much.
He hugged her so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
After hearing this, Miguel let go of her arm.
But his arms were still around her and he had no intention of letting go.
Albina looked at his arm and pursed her lips.
-It’s not good for us to do this, can you move your arm away? Umberto will be angry if he knows this.
Michael’s eyes darkened, his teeth clenched his lower lip and he said hoarsely:
-If we don’t tell, how could he know?
Hearing this, Albina raised her head in astonishment:
-Miguel, what’s wrong with you? You are completely different from before, I feel like I don’t even know you anymore.
Miguel chuckled.
-You didn’t love me before, but now? What Umberto can do, I can do too. Albina, as long as you want, I can become whatever you want….
-Albina stopped him hastily, looking at him inexplicably. You’re saying something strange, I don’t understand what you mean, do you love me?
Miguel approached her earlier, and his idea was to develop step by step, knowing that she had not forgotten their previous relationship, so he approached her carefully, and then gradually invaded her circle of life and then confessed to her.
But he did not expect to be overtaken by Umberto’s shameless offense.
Now he knew that he loved Albina very much, so he did not use the previous strategy, and directly said his feeling to Albina.
-Yes, Albina, I love you. I want you to give me a chance. I can prove that I am not worse than Umberto. I will treat you better than him. I will love you for the rest of my life, and I will never fail you.
He looked at Albina with burning eyes and confessed affectionately.
After Albina heard this, she unconsciously took a step back, her fingers gripping the door tightly.
She didn’t dare to look at Miguel’s face, so she unconsciously averted her gaze and landed on his clothes. Albina suddenly realized that Miguel’s style of dress, intentionally or not, became similar to Umberto’s.
The styles of black suit, crystal cuffs and tie pin were almost identical.
Albina was nervous, and her expression was complicated and strange.
Did Miguel want to be her understudy?
She couldn’t help but laugh at the thought. There was no one who was exactly the same in the world. It was impossible for him to become someone else.
Besides, Albina had witnessed her parents’ feelings, if she liked someone, it was hard to change her mind.
He believed that she was not a bad woman.
In particular, she was now in a stable relationship with Umberto and had been recognized by her family. The next step was to get engaged.
Thinking about this, Albina raised her head and looked at Miguel solemnly.
-I’m sorry, Miguel, I can’t accept all this.
Hearing this, Miguel’s eyes widened a little, showing confusion and anxiety.
-Why? Umberto hurt you before, and you almost died. You shouldn’t forgive him. I’ve been by your side this year, why can’t you be with me?
Albina’s eyes lowered slightly.
-You know in your heart that I have only gratitude for you, not love. During my most embarrassing moment, it was actually you and Ariana who stood by me. I am very grateful and I consider you my best friends. But that’s all, I don’t love you, I’m very sorry.
Miguel was astonished and asked.
-Albina, you still haven’t answered me, why can’t I be with you? But Umberto can.
Hearing this, Albina raised her head and looked at Michael fixedly.
-How I love him. Yes, he hurt me before, but he also gave me the most help. Back then, my condition for marrying him was to let him save my mother. During the three years of marriage, he really did. He cured my mother and gave us a place to live.
-Our first union was just a transaction. I fell in love with him one-sidedly and wanted him to have more feelings. You and Umberto have known each other for a long time and you know what kind of person he is. He is indifferent and arrogant, in such a position, it is impossible to easily treat people sincerely. Because Yolanda lied to him, and because of Yolanda’s saving grace, he filed for divorce with me. But I do not deny that he was very kind to me during the marriage.
-I was blind, I couldn’t do anything, and I was thrown out penniless with my mother who was sick. The normal family did not dare to accept me, but Umberto accepted me. At that time, I was not a qualified husband, but for a merchant, I was qualified. Although he didn’t realize that he loved me at that time, he gave me the greatest love.
Albina recalled the past, her eyes were slightly moist and she said with a smile.
-I had carefully covered all the edges and corners of the house with anti-collision films and covered them with carpets. He remembered what I liked to eat, and always brought me one when I went out. Although he did not reveal to me that I was his wife, he gave me the utmost assurance.
-At the time, he didn’t save me was because Yolanda’s misdirection caused him not to believe me. I hated him, but hate could not counteract love. After I came back, I wanted revenge, and I also wanted to give up Umberto, but I saw his sincerity for so many days. So I gave him a chance.
Albina talked a lot. Recently she had understood this little by little.
-Miguel, I cannot guarantee whether Umberto loves me in the future or how long he will be able to love me. As long as he loves me now, it is enough. If he will give me up in the future, I will leave without hesitation. I dare to face my failed marriage and start over.
Michael stared at her, his lips moved a little, he looked at her attire which was very similar to Umberto’s, feeling embarrassed and ridiculous.
He smiled, his face was pale, he looked at her sadly and said in a hoarse voice.
-But what should I do? Albina, I can’t forget you, I’ve tried but I can’t do it.
Albina frowned, she felt sad, looking at him, who was very uncomfortable.
His eyes were slightly red, she reached over and hugged him gently, before he reacted, she let go.
-I’m sorry, whether it’s love or marriage, there can’t be a third party. I have to reject you outright, it’s good for us.
Miguel shook his head and cried. He tried his best to smile, looking stiff and sad.
-You shouldn’t apologize to me. I’m the one who caused you trouble, and I’m sorry for you.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Albina carefully.
-Can we still be friends?
Albina smiled, her eyes were very beautiful.
-When you forget your feelings for me, we will definitely be best friends.
Michael understood what she meant. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. He wanted to hug her, but he only touched her hair lightly and finally his palm fell on her shoulder.
-Albina, I’ll do my best…..
His voice was very soft, if it weren’t for the two standing nearby, he feared Albina wouldn’t be able to hear.
-Be careful on the way back, it’s too dark outside, let me find you a driver -Albina was really worried about Miguel’s situation. Driving in his current state would probably cause an accident.
She was really terrified of something like a car accident.
-No need, my brother is here -Miguel raised his head and pointed to the entrance of the corridor, and Albina saw that Camilo was hurrying to approach.
