Santiago stared at Ariana, listened to what she said and took a long time to recover.
-What do you say, will you let me be with her?
Ariana nodded.
-Yes, you can’t leave her. I won’t talk about the car accident, after all, life is important. But you know she is your first love, and you still let her stay with you. You also say that she has a good working ability. Sogen City is so big, wouldn’t another psychiatric hospital be able to accept her? And as for renting a house,” she lowered her head and smiled, “Is Natalia twenty-six or seventeen? I went abroad to study at the age of eighteen. So far, my life and career were achieved on my own. You can’t forget her, so you’ll stay with her.
Ariana took a deep breath, her eyes slightly reddened, she pointed to herself, smiled and cried instantly.
-We’re done!
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Santiago hurriedly stopped her. Her eyes were already red and she frowned, but he held her tightly.
-Ariana, don’t go. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t be so kind, I’m sorry.
Santiago’s voice was hoarse, he tightened his arms and hugged her slender shoulders tightly.
He wrapped her tightly, almost trying to integrate her into his body.
-I swear to you that in the future I won’t have any ambiguous contact with another girl. Give me a chance.
Her voice was hoarse and a little choked, she begged him.
-Last time I promised you I wouldn’t go out and play with those friends or stay up all night, I did it all, and I’ll do it this time. Please give me a chance.
Natalia stared in disbelief at the scene before her.
“Was he really Santiago? How could he treat a woman like that?”
In her impression, Santiago was arrogant.
She thought for a moment, then spoke softly, pretending to be anxious to explain to Ariana.
-You really misunderstood us, there’s nothing going on between us. I was really scared last night, so I called him. He wanted to go home but he was too sleepy at the time, so I stopped him. We are just colleagues, although we dated more than a year before.
-Shut up! -Santiago abruptly interrupted her, staring at her.
Natalia had never seen this look from Santiago before, and she couldn’t say anything, so she could only shut up and clench her fingers tightly.
But she was not finished yet. Santiago looked at her and said indifferently.
-I remember you said before that you would write a resignation application. You can write it after you go to the company and leave it on my desk.
Natalia was stunned, her hands and feet were cold, she stared at Santiago.
-Do you want to fire me?
-I’ve clearly thought about it. It doesn’t matter if you have any thoughts about me now, it’s easy for us to cause misunderstandings in the same company, and my girlfriend thinks it too much. I will compensate you with what you deserve, I want to see your exit application today.
There was no emotion on his face, his mind was made up.
Natalia panicked.
-But I still have some patients.
-You can take your patients, and I will recommend a family psychiatric hospital as compensation.
Santiago arranged everything, just to let Natalia go.
Ariana looked down and hesitated a little after hearing what he said. Santiago had done everything he promised before. Even though what he said was very unreliable, Ariana knew his character and knew he didn’t bother to lie.
If there really was a relationship between him and Natalia, he definitely wouldn’t hide it.
By the time Ariana was stunned, Santiago had already led her to the car, closed the door and quickly made his way to the driver’s seat.
-Santiago, I didn’t promise to come back with you.
Ariana’s voice was indifferent.
Santiago pursed his lips in aggravation, his eyes were red and he looked at her with tears in his eyes.
It was really bad, it really had nothing to do with Natalia and he tried his best to avoid her. But the bad things he did really made her misunderstand him, and it was no wonder Ariana treated him like that.
He was to be punished.
-As long as you don’t break up with me, I’ll accept whatever punishment you give me. I didn’t tell you clearly before because I was afraid you would misunderstand, but I didn’t expect that hiding it from you would make you even more upset and sad. It is my fault.
Santiago’s voice was hoarse.
-I’ll make it right, I’ve done everything I promised you before.
He liked to play games and had been that way for so many years, even when he had a girlfriend.
But once Ariana asked him to, he would change. His friends invited him many times but he refused because he had promised.
Ariana looked out the window, and frowned. She didn’t know what to do.
At first she was very sad and wanted to break up with him, but Santiago solved everything that could be solved. And she didn’t know what she should do seeing the originally arrogant boy being so aggrieved and pitiful.
-At least I don’t want to live with you now.
Ariana only said this.
Santiago pursed his lips.
-The house you bought is being renovated. Albina is abroad during this time, and there is only Umberto at home. You can’t live with him.
Ariana stared at him.
-Who says I’m going to live with Umberto? I’m going to a hotel.
-It’s a waste of money to stay in a hotel. Do you still have money after buying a house? -Santiago stammered.
-There are two rooms in the house. You live in a guest room, what do you think?
-I really won’t do anything, just treat us as joint tenants. You have to believe in my character. We’ve been together for so long and I haven’t done anything to you, just kissed you.
Ariana really couldn’t say anything. Santiago, a man who spent money like water, actually said staying in a hotel was expensive.
He would have said anything to keep her at home.
However, after buying a house in Sogen City, he really didn’t have much money.
Being pitifully looked at by Santiago, Ariana finally nodded.
-So, are you willing to give me a chance to prove what I said?
Santiago was pleased.
Ariana thought about Albina’s situation and hesitated for a moment.
-My house still has two or three months to be renovated. During these three months, if you still have contact with Natalia, I will move out of your house immediately.
Santiago agreed.
The car drove away. Natalia was downstairs in her pajamas, her eyes darkened.
At that moment, the phone rang. She answered it and a hoarse voice came on.
-You haven’t given me the money you promised me last night. I acted with you, don’t make it a bad debt.
Natalia’s look was indifferent and she said impatiently.
-I know, I’ll transfer it to you later, but you have to keep this a secret.
The man scoffed, and when he hung up the phone, he still muttered.
-This woman really paid someone to follow her, I really don’t know what kind of bad intentions she has.
Natalia also heard what he said before hanging up the phone, and bit her lower lip.
As she transferred the money, she calmed down, and her anger at being forced to leave faded a little.
After a long time, she smiled indifferently.
Ariana’s mood today was bound to have a rift between them. She had to make good use of this opportunity. Ariana really couldn’t feel relieved about her relationship with Santiago.
