The button on the wallet was not fastened properly, so when it rolled to Albina’s feet, the wallet was already open.
There were several bank cards and bills in the wallet, but what caught her attention most was a photo.
It was a young man, with a delicate appearance, soft eyebrows and eyes. He was particularly attractive.
The photo looked like it was from a long time ago, as it even had yellowed corners.
Albina bent down, picked up the wallet and was about to hand it back to Mr. Seco.
But Mr. Seco hurried and snatched the wallet from her, held it tightly in his fingers and looked at Albina.
-This is my wallet!
Albina was surprised by his sudden action and then nodded with a smile.
-Yes, it’s her wallet. I was about to give it back to her.
Mr. Dry had a bad attitude, but Albina didn’t care, this wallet must be very important to him.
Seeing her kind and polite attitude, the expression on Mr. Dry’s face softened a little.
Suddenly, Albina discovered that this Mr. Seco’s eyebrows and eyes were very similar to those of the young man in the photo. Upon closer observation, she noticed that this old man’s facial features were not bad.
He was just getting older as time went by and his face had more wrinkles. Also, because he kept a straight face all year round, it hid his delicate and delicate facial features. When he was young, he must have been a beautiful boy who was popular with thousands of girls.
Mr. Dry paid no attention to Albina’s observation and carefully wiped the dust from the wallet, especially the place where the photo was located. After carefully wiping it several times, he was relieved.
He and Lord Santangel did not get along, and he did not want to stay here and suffer in vain, so he took his wallet, turned his head and left angrily.
Lord Santangel didn’t care about him. In his opinion, Mr. Seco had a bad temper. The Seco family spoiled him all the time and made him look down on everyone. This kind of people became honest after suffering some loss.
After Mr. Seco left, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Lord Santangel pushed Albina forward to meet the people present.
The people here were all elderly, and Albina was unpretentious and greeted them sweetly.
She was beautiful, and though her eyes were lovely, her gaze was clear and honest. Moreover, with the sweetness of her voice and polite and courteous conversational style, she easily won everyone’s favor.
After a while, I was dizzy and could not tell who was who. I could only remember a few people who had the best relationship with Mr. Santangel.
Lord Santangel’s attitude was clear and everyone present knew that the Santangel family was very pleased with this girl and that her marriage to Umberto was inevitable.
Everyone gave Lord Santangel respect and was very kind to Albina, the old ladies took her hand and praised her.
Lord Santangel also showed off his new clothes among the elders, and Umberto was again ignored.
However, he looked at Albina smiling in the crowd, and the corners of his mouth turned up. The indifference he kept on his face disappeared and he looked happy.
An old man turned his head and saw him, and pulled Elder Santangel to joke.
-Old Santangel, look, your grandson is looking at his fiance. His smile is so strange! I’ve watched him grow up since he was a child, but I’ve never seen him like that.
Lord Santangel looked in the direction he pointed and saw the smile on Umberto’s face, his eyes shone.
-Don’t talk about you, even I have never seen him like that.
After a long time outside, Lord Santangel was finally satisfied. He proudly took his grandson and his future daughter-in-law home.
The old man and Alonso walked in front, while Albina and Umberto slowly followed them from behind.
Umberto was chatting with Albina and, seeing that she did not respond, he turned his head and discovered that Albina was frowning.
-Albina, what are you thinking about?
Umberto couldn’t guess what she was thinking, so he just asked directly.
Albina was brought back to reality by his voice and said:
-You were standing next to me, so you should have seen Mr. Seco’s wallet too. Who do you think it was in the picture of his wallet?
Umberto thought about it and said:
-It should be his eldest son.
-The eldest son of the Seco family who ran off with a woman because his family wouldn’t accept his girlfriend?
Umberto nodded.
-Yes.
Albina clicked her tongue.
-I thought it was a picture of Mr. Seco when he was young. If Mr. Seco’s face were less wrinkled and younger, he would look exactly like the person in the photo.
Mr. Santangel, who was in front of him, overheard the conversation between the two and paused for a moment. When they reached his side, he said to Albina:
-They are father and son, how could they not be alike? Umberto had never seen Signor Seco when he was young. His eldest son looked almost exactly the same as when he was young. At first we were surprised at the genetic strength of his family, for unlike his family, Umberto and his father did not inherit my beauty.
The old man sighed as he spoke.
Umberto’s face was full of helplessness. In the old man’s heart, he was the most handsome of the three generations of the Santangel family. Umberto and his father were not as good as him in terms of looks and emotional intelligence, and even their methods of conquest were not as good as his.
Albina listened to Lord Santangel’s boastful words, looked at Umberto’s helpless face and chuckled under her breath as she covered her mouth.
-I think Uncle and Umberto still look a lot like you, especially when they sit together.
It’s just that, in temperament, Umberto and the old man are more alike. In contrast, Umberto’s father looked more gentle.
At this thought, Albina smiled, tugged Umberto’s hand and whispered:
-Jaime is also from the Seco family – how could he not look like Senor Seco or his father?
Albina only said it casually, but Umberto took it seriously.
Especially after going through the incident of Albina also doubting her parents, he had a slight assumption in his heart.
-Albina, you and my mother went to the banquet, so you should have met Mrs. Leoz.
Mrs. Leoz, also known as Stephanie Seco, Mr. Seco’s daughter.
Albina nodded.
-Yes.
-Stephanie also resembles Mr. Seco. Even the facial features of her son, Pedro Leoz, has the shadow of the Seco family, but Jaime doesn’t resemble him one bit.
Umberto’s eyes narrowed slightly as he revealed everything.
Albina covered her mouth in surprise and whispered:
-It can’t be! What a coincidence!
She just picked up a wallet, did she really reveal such a big secret? If Jaime is not a descendant of the Seco family, then the situation would be very serious.
After Jaime returned to the Seco family, Mr. Seco did everything he could to train Jaime, and even took away the succession of Pedro Leoz.
Jaime was the heir of the Seco family, but if this came to light….
Albina clicked her tongue and looked at Umberto.
-When Jaime returned to the Seco family home, didn’t grandfather investigate him?
Umberto looked at her curious appearance and stroked her hair.
-I’ve only heard about some of the things back then, but I don’t know the details very well. I only know that Jaime returned with a letter written by his parents.
Albina nodded, indicating that she understood.
Umberto took her hand with thoughtful eyes.
-But it’s better to clarify this matter.
Jaime hasn’t dealt with him since he was a child, and he suffered a great loss at the hands of the Santangel family due to his previous affairs. With his petty personality, it would be very possible for him to do something to defeat Umberto, so it is best to be cautious.
If there really was any misunderstanding, then he would have another counterweight of Jaime in his hand, if he dares to do anything to him, then he will take everything from him!
-Umberto, I don’t think we should get our hopes up too high.
Albina held her fingers and waved her arms calmly, looking at the scenery beside her, like an elementary school student on a spring field trip.
-After all, the Seco family is not a small family. If a child knocks on the door and claims to be Mr. Seco’s grandson, how could he not be investigated? -He said, pinching Umberto’s slender fingers, “That’s why you must be mentally prepared. Even if nothing is found, don’t get depressed.
Umberto lowered his head to look at her, and seeing that she was trying to comfort him, he could not contain himself, and took her small hand.
-It’s all right.
The two returned to Santangel’s house, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Umberto’s mother running in a hurry. She stepped forward and separated their intertwined hands.
She grabbed Albina’s hand and ran up the stairs.
-Hurry, Albina, I’m in a hurry.
