Albina looked at him fiercely, but her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. Not only was the look not deterring, it showed a different appeal.
-It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, how could I be rude in front of your parents?
Umberto smiled and took her by the arm, led her into the house and said as he walked.
-It’s okay, they don’t care. Now they prefer you to me.
As soon as the two entered the room, they saw Grandfather coming down the stairs and complaining to Umberto’s father, who followed him.
-How could it be possible that he deliberately stole your clothes?
-I don’t know if you are greedy or not for my clothes. I only know that if Umberto hadn’t told me, you wouldn’t have given them to me,” Umberto’s father answered.
Grandfather turned his head and looked at him, but said nothing.
Umberto’s father was right.
When he saw Albina enter, a smile instantly appeared on his face, he came closer and turned twice.
-Come, look at grandfather’s clothes, do they look good?
The clothes fit him very well. Albina had made it according to the measurements provided by the Santangel family.
It is a set of light and thin Tang suits, gray in color, and with auspicious clouds of the same color. It was a simple and modern design.
The old man conveyed a sense of majesty with the Tang suit.
-Wonderful!
Albina boasted with a smile.
When the old man heard this, the smile on his face grew even wider and he immediately pulled Alonso along.
-Let’s go outside so my old friends can look at my new clothes. This is what my future granddaughter-in-law made, so no one has one like it.
It’s really like a child who wants to show off her new toy.
Albina laughed and before she could react, the old man pulled her.
-Albina also come with me and meet those old men. From now on they will be your elders,” he said to Albina. Jaime’s grandfather is living here lately, so you can meet him.
As soon as these words came out, even Umberto was surprised.
-Doesn’t he live in the Seco family house?
-In the past, Jaime worked in the company, but now he is in a state of partial retirement. Jaime won’t be able to take care of the company’s affairs in two years, so the old man has to go to the company every day. It is more convenient to live here.
Grandfather explained and dragged Albina to leave, Umberto followed them after a while.
He was afraid that the elder of the Seco family would anger Albina because of Jaime’s business.
Senor Santangel took his grandson and future granddaughter-in-law to greet people, and when he saw someone, he introduced Albina with much enthusiasm.
He praised her highly and showed off her clothes.
At first, Albina was quite shy, but after this trip, she was already unresponsive.
Lord Santangel’s enthusiasm was really exaggerated for ordinary people, it was like a test of embarrassment.
Soon they arrived at the artificial lake.
The weather was very warm, a cool breeze was blowing across the lake and there was a lot of shade under the trees. Quite a few people sat and chatted under the shade.
In the area where the Santangel family lived, there were many very wealthy people. All these elderly men and women basically had high status.
Mr. Santangel saw that Mr. Seco was playing chess with other people, so he pulled Albina and approached.
Umberto followed behind with a smile on his lips.
When they arrived, Lord Santangel and his group quickly attracted everyone’s attention.
When Lord Dry heard the voices, he raised his head and saw them. He immediately snorted coldly and sneered.
-How strange! Both grandfather and grandson came together.
The people around knew about the conflict between the two, and they did not speak.
As if Lord Santangel had not heard what he said, he pushed Albina to the front and said:
-You are too old and your eyes are cloudy. You didn’t see my future granddaughter-in-law standing next to me!
Mr. Dry really didn’t notice Albina, and only after seeing Mr. Santangel push her in front of him, he looked her up and down.
-So this is the girl your grandson likes. He despised all the girls that have been presented to him over the years, so I thought your future granddaughter-in-law would be a fairy. Now I see she’s just an ordinary girl,” he scoffed.
Albina originally thought that it didn’t matter what the conflict between the two families was, after all he was an old man, and she was going to greet him politely. But she didn’t expect to hear Mr. Seco say this.
She pursed her lips, smiled, and said quietly:
-Yes, you are right, I am not a fairy. In fact, it is a blessing for me to please Umberto and the Santangel family.
He thought it was obvious that this old man was Stephanie Seco’s father. The father and daughter were very much alike, both had a nasty humor.
She didn’t mind, but Mr. Santangel was not happy and teased Mr. Seco.
-Yes, our Albina is not as beautiful as a fairy, but she is much better than ordinary girls. You can never find a girl like her. Which girl in the circle is as pretty as our Albina? Which girl is as considerate as Albina? Look, my granddaughter-in-law made this set of clothes by herself.
After speaking, she raised her eyebrows proudly and looked at Mr. Dry.
-Do you have a granddaughter-in-law who makes your clothes for you?
Mr. Seco clenched his hands in anger and looked at him, the two elders faced each other and neither admitted defeat.
At that moment, Umberto coughed softly and suddenly said:
-Mr. Seco, I haven’t seen Jaime leave in a long time -How is his foot?
-Didn’t we see him at the door of the detention center that day? -Albina whispered to him.
Umberto pretended to remember, clenched his fist and pounded it into his palm.
-I almost forgot. Jaime went to prison to see his ex-girlfriend. What was her name again? Yolanda, right?
As soon as these words came out, the other elders began to whisper.
The Seco family kept their secrets very well, no one knew that Jaime and Yolanda still had that relationship.
After being exposed by Umberto, Mr. Seco’s face turned red with anger and shame.
Mr. Santangel looked at him, shook his head and sighed.
-So, our Umberto’s taste is quite normal, it’s not as weird as your grandson’s. Okay, seeing that your future granddaughter-in-law is imprisoned, I no longer care about what you said.
Hearing that, Mr. Seco stood up with anger in his eyes.
Old man, pay attention to what you are saying. Have I admitted that Yolanda is my granddaughter-in-law? Young people are very vigorous and just trying to pass the time, isn’t it normal to separate after discovering the true face of the other person? Did Umberto always have a good taste? Speaking of which, Yolanda was Umberto’s former fiance – he said and deliberately looked at Albina’s expression to see how she would react.
However, the change he expected didn’t happen, Albina was still standing next to Senor Santangel with a smile, looking completely unaffected.
Lord Seco thought that girl’s psychological resistance was so powerful that he didn’t even flinch.
When Lord Santangel heard her words, he waved his hand.
-What fiance? She’s just a liar. She used the name fiance to help our Umberto repel the other girls who were chasing him. After all, Umberto is a very captivating guy,” he said and looked at Mr. Seco. Speaking of Jaime, if he can’t find a suitable wife, you can tell me and I’ll introduce you to some girls. I remember that your grandson likes a lot of what my grandson throws away, both in the business field, as well as in women.
The two old men were about to start arguing.
Albina had stopped caring about Yolanda’s problem a long time ago, but seeing the two old men angry, she was afraid that some accident would happen, so she insisted Umberto to stop them.
After the two were stopped, Senor Seco took one last look at Senor Santangelo and marched off in anger.
With a great movement, the wallet in his pocket fell out and rolled right at Albina’s feet.
