-Come and eat the fruit -Umberto said in a low voice.
The two then separated.
Albina did not notice Umberto’s mood, looking at the fresh fruits, she hurried to say to Ariana:
-There are your favorite mangoes that Familia Santangel sent them yesterday, they are especially big and sweet.
Ariana noticed Umberto’s abnormality and suddenly feeling much better, said to Albina:
-Yes, you are very kind to remember that what I like the most are mangoes.
-Of course, you are my best friend -Albina unconsciously replied, inserting the already cut mango into Ariana’s mouth.
Ariana deliberately made a very happy appearance, looking at Umberto out of the corner of her eye, seeing that his reserved and cold handsome face had completely darkened, and his mood became even better.
Just when Umberto’s emotions had reached their limit, the doorbell suddenly rang.
The first thought of everyone present was that the person coming might be Santiago.
After all, his girlfriend was going to stay here later, so he had to show up, right?
But the surprising thing was that there was an unexpected person at the door.
It was Macos. Albina asked puzzled:
-What are you doing here?
Macos was about to answer her when he saw Ariana behind the two of them.
She was wearing a white skirt, had long brown hair, looked very pure and beautiful.
-What a coincidence, you are here too,” Macos said a little nervously to Ariana.
Albina was speechless…
She remembered that last night she had told Macos that Ariana would be staying here, so how could this man act like a chance meeting.
Umberto realized instantly that Macos was not normal.
In a roundabout way, he glanced at Ariana behind him and checked that she did not have an abnormal expression and feared that she had not noticed Macos’ mind either.
When Ariana saw Macos’ dumbfounded look, she laughed lightly:
-Yes, what a coincidence.
Seeing her smile, Macos’ smile became even more naive and silly.
Albina stared at the little box at Macos’ feet and continued to ask:
-Macos, you still haven’t told me what you are doing with the box here?
-It’s better to talk inside, it’s not convenient to be at the door” -only then Macos came back to reality, carrying his suitcase and entering the door.
-Didn’t Lila follow me before and sneak into my house? It wasn’t safe where I lived either, so I sold the house.
-I sent all my other stuff to my family, and I heard Ariana was staying at your house, so I thought I should come too,” Macos continued with a guilty look on his face. After all, this whole thing started because of me. I felt I had to do my part to keep them safe as well.
Albina and Ariana looked at him like that and comforted him.
Only Umberto was on one side, examining Macos.
He never thought he would now see a man like the bitches. Macos used to look sunny, but he never thought it would be like this.
Macos seemed to sense his gaze and said to Umberto innocently:
-Albina and Ariana are two girls you can’t protect alone, so having me around will also provide you with more of security. Mr. Santangel, okay?
Umberto smiled at his words but did not object.
In fact, no matter what, Albina will always be foremost in his mind. If there is danger, no matter the reason, he will protect her first, and by then Ariana will be in danger.
It was as if Macos had seen that and had a very good reason, so he was really left at home by Albina.
Macos eagerly dragged his suitcase and headed for the other room.
When Albina said she wanted to prepare the daily necessities, Macos was quick to say:
-No need, I have them all with me. I have to stay here and bother you for the next few days, how can I make you work on such trivial matters?
These words made Albina feel a little moved.
Umberto followed Macos, saying to Albina:
-You two go eat the fruit, I will help Mr. Murillo clean the room together.
-I don’t dare bother Mr. Santangel, I can do it myself,” Macos hastened to put on a flattering face:
-All right, we’re going to live together for the next few days, it’s only fair that we get along. And you don’t need to call me Mr. Santangel, just call me by my name,” Umberto smiled.
Macos was so taken aback by his smile that his face paled.
When had Umberto become so cordial, that smile was obviously very nice, but why did it make his body start to tremble.
He also didn’t dare call Umberto by name, so thank him.
Umberto followed with a smile, looking like the two were good siblings.
Both Albina and Ariana felt they were getting along well and paid them no further attention.
As soon as they entered the room, Umberto asked Macos:
-Do you like Ariana?
As these words came out, the suitcase in Macos’ hand fell with a thump, and he looked very embarrassed and uncomfortable:
-Did you hear?
He really didn’t expect Umberto to find out so quickly, especially since Umberto’s identity was still so sensitive.
Santiago was friends with him with a very close relationship.
Umberto certainly wouldn’t believe that he simply wanted to move here.
-Sure, aside from Albina and Ariana, anyone with a little eyesight can see what you have in mind.
Macos froze, the usual smile on his face gone. He himself didn’t realize that the expression on his face when confronted with Ariana was so obvious.
-I knew Santiago was her boyfriend, and I didn’t want to do anything, I just liked him. Even if I only looked at her from afar, I would be satisfied, can you believe it? -Macos said as he looked carefully at Umberto-. Mr. Santangel, don’t tell Ariana, or Santiago. I really don’t want to do anything. It wouldn’t be good if they caused some misunderstanding because of me.
I just had an idea, I didn’t want to cause any trouble to Ariana.
Umberto looked at her cautious appearance and thought for a moment.
Macos’ character was not in doubt, and he was in fact more attentive than Santiago….
Only after a long moment did he speak:
-I don’t care what you want to do, but before the two of you part, you’d better hide your heart and not let them notice anything. If not by then you and Ariana won’t even have to be friends.
These words made Macos breathe a sigh of relief.
This showed that he would not interfere in this matter and allowed him to live here.
-Mr. Santangel, thank you,” Macos thanked him sincerely.
-However, I really did not expect someone as upright as President Murillo to have a son like you. What you just did really surprised me,” Umberto snorted coldly.
