When Ariana heard Albina’s words, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she shook her head and answered honestly:
-I haven’t thought about it yet, there is no doubt that I like Santiago. And it’s not their problem, they are my own problem.
-This is Santiago’s normal way of life, it’s my existence that limits him. I want too much. What attracts me most to Santiago is his free nature, but this also bothers me a lot now.
Albina looked at Ariana’s expressionless face and sighed in her heart.
Ariana was too rational now. She was talking about her affection, which was a matter related to herself, but she could be so rational and calm. When Albina heard it, it made her feel a little sad.
Tal Ariana seemed to have gone back to the time when they met at school.
At that time, she was also sentimental, low self-esteem and sensitive. She took all the mistakes upon herself and humiliated herself a lot.
-Ariana, you don’t have to be so brave in front of me.
Albina said softly, she reached out to take his hand, her palm was cold.
Her body temperature was already very low, she didn’t expect that Ariana’s hand was colder than hers.
Albina took her hands and covered them carefully.
Ariana looked at her in a daze. For some reason, tears suddenly fell.
She wanted to wipe them away, but Albina took her hand, so she let the tears fall.
Under Albina’s look of astonishment and concern, Ariana choked a little, but did her best to smile:
-I don’t want to cry, tears just flow, I don’t want to cry?
-Well, I know, it’s okay, there’s sand in the wind -Albina’s eyes were also a little wet, it felt a little uncomfortable her nose and the tears fell too-. Look, I don’t want to cry either.
They sat, laughing stiffly and crying together. The picture was very strange, but it looked a little sad.
After a long time, they were very relieved. Ariana wiped all the tears from her face, red eyes blinked and said with a smile:
-I still don’t plan to break up with him. I will try harder to adjust to Santiago’s life and try to make him understand my needs. If it doesn’t work, I will consider leaving him.
Albina nodded, even though she didn’t want Ariana and Santiago to be together.
Santiago was immature, or rather irresponsible. Because of her parents, Ariana resisted affection. If Santiago really hurt her, it would be much more difficult to have love in the future.
However, after all, this was Ariana’s affection. She could only go along with it, she could not interfere too much.
This was also what Umberto told her before seeing Ariana.
-By the way, before I called you, I came across some things -Ariana changed the subject when she saw that the atmosphere between them was a bit repressed.
Albina also cooperated to make a curious expression.
After Ariana finished talking about her encounter with Macos, Albina’s expression suddenly changed.
-The woman you mention if tall and slender, with a beautiful appearance and a small mole at the corner of her mouth?
Ariana thought for a moment and nodded.
Albina’s expression was even uglier:
-It’s Lila. She dares to do such a thing to Macos.
-Who is this person? She always said she is Macos’ girlfriend.
-What girlfriend, absolutely not,” Albina’s face was full of anger. This woman is crazy, a stalker who harasses Macos every day.
Albina told all the things Lila had done before, Ariana was surprised and felt lucky for a while:
-Luckily, I get in on this, otherwise, Macos would be in trouble.
After hearing her sigh, something occurred to Albina. Suddenly, she was showing a bit unnatural. He secretly looked at her, hesitating to say anything.
Ariana noticed his strange eyes and chuckled:
-If you have something to say, just say it.
Albina stammered:
-Macos was drugged by Lila, did he do something to you? You know this too, he won’t have any conscience when the drug works. You were together at that time?
After Ariana heard this, her ears immediately turned red. She remembered Macos’ ambiguous movements in the elevator and in the room, her face slowly turned red.
But to prevent Albina from misunderstanding, she shook her head:
-No, what are you thinking about? There he was near his house, I took him home early and locked him directly in the bathroom. He woke up after a cold shower.
Albina breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing if she was lucky or disappointed.
If Ariana and Macos really were together, it would be a good thing. Santiago was unreliable, but Macos was absolutely reliable and his family was very decent. Last time, he asked his family to let him choose the person he liked to marry.
This could not be better.
However, Ariana seemed to have no interest in Macos, so she didn’t say much.
They sat together and talked a lot. Albina told her about the Santangel Family and Ariana felt much more relaxed when she listened to her.
Until dawn, they left the tent.
-I’m a little sleepy and my skin didn’t look so clear. I’ll take you home and you’ll sleep well.
Ariana touched her face and looked at Albina beside her.
Although Albina was very sleepy, her face was still incredibly beautiful and her skin was particularly clear.
Ariana couldn’t contain herself and pinched her:
-We are equal humans, why God loves you so much, sweetheart.
Albina looked at her in a daze, she didn’t realize what she was saying.
After being awake all night, her brain was a little dull.
Seeing her cute expression, Ariana was helpless and pulled her into the car:
-I’ll take you home.
When they got into the car, because they were a bit tired, they didn’t notice that there was a woman standing not far away, looking at them coldly.
This woman was Lila.
After the electric shock by Ariana, the hotel employee took Lila to a room.
When she woke up, several hours had passed. She left the room and discovered that Macos and Ariana were long gone.
She was angry, after trying so hard, she finally found the opportunity and made Macos drink the medicine. But Ariana appeared and cut off such a good opportunity.
Lila did not know who the woman was and if she succeeded, but she knew the effect of the medicine.
Even if she failed, Macos and she were alone, they would definitely have an ambiguous relationship.
She was furious and wanted to cut the woman into eight pieces to relieve the hatred in her heart.
In this bar street, she did not expect that she would meet that woman again and she also saw Albina by her side.
In just a few minutes, Lila saw the interaction between them.
It turned out that the woman was Albina’s friend. It was Albina who let her ruin her plan.
Lila’s hatred for Albina became even stronger, and was almost about to boil over.
***
Albina didn’t know she was being watched. When she got home, she saw that the lights in the room were on. Umberto was wearing house clothes, with a computer on his lap, using the keyboard.
Hearing movement at the door, he stopped his fingers, looked at Albina, his voice a little hoarse:
-You’re back.
Albina froze for a moment, then said in surprise:
-Didn’t you sleep in the bedroom?
-I can’t sleep because you’re still not back,” said Umberto, rubbed his temples, put the computer on the table, went over to hug her and put his chin on her shoulder. Why is it taking you so long to come back?
Umberto had insomnia. During this time, Albina massaged him every day and hugged him to sleep every night. The symptoms had eased a lot and he could sleep like a normal person.
But seeing that he came back at this time, Umberto exaggerated a little, he frowned and his expression was painful:
-I want to sleep, but I can’t. Now my head hurts so much.
Indeed, as soon as he said this, Albina became anxious. She hurried him back into the room and pressed him down on the bed.
Then she ran to the bathroom in a hurry, soaked her fingers in hot water and returned to the bedroom to massage Umberto’s head.
Umberto saw that she was in a hurry, she felt a little guilty and her expression was a little unnatural:
-Don’t be so complicated, as long as I hold you, I can sleep.
