Although Santiago was his friend, Umberto could not say anything for him this time.
But thinking about Santiago’s character, he felt no surprise.
-I said long ago that Santiago is only suitable to be a friend, not a boyfriend.
Albina understood that too and had advised Ariana before.
But Ariana had already made her decision at that time.
Now she finally broke up with him, Albina felt very sad for her that she had only had one relationship and suffered so much.
As she sighed, she suddenly remembered that the same thing happened to her. Originally because of her parents’ good relationship, she had high expectations in marriage and love, but also because of Umberto there came a time when she didn’t want to get married or touch love in this life.
She raised her head and threw a fierce look at Umberto.
-None of you are any good!
Umberto gaped at his rebuke and did not react for a long time.
After reacting, he let out a bitter laugh. He had not expected that Santiago’s affair had implicated him. But he didn’t feel aggrieved, he could only admit it with resignation.
-Okay, I’m no good. It’s after three in the morning, go back and get some more sleep, if there is anything else we can talk about it when it is light.
After being taken to her room, Albina spoke to her:
-I don’t want to sleep.
Umberto was about to go back to sleep with her in his arms when he heard her. He slowly looked her up and down with a hint of interest.
Albina was startled by his gaze.
-Don’t look at me like that!
She felt particularly uneasy, flushed by his gaze.
Albina silently pulled the quilt upwards, covering all the skin under her neck.
Umberto let out a laugh at her words.
-What look do I have?
-You know what kind of look you have, don’t play innocent,” Albina growled.
-I was thinking, since you can’t sleep and people sleep better after exercise, should we move around a bit while there’s still time?
His eyes blatantly showed desire, burning as if he wanted to devour her.
Albina hurriedly closed her eyes and immediately said:
-Yes, I already have the sleepy feeling, I’m about to fall asleep….
It would surely take a few more hours to make love to him, and then she would surely feel exhausted.
She still had to help Ariana move, so she had to save her strength.
Umberto felt a little sorry to see her close her eyes. It had been three months since he had properly kissed his little girl and he wanted her very much.
But he also knew that Albina had an agreement tomorrow, so he could only let her go for now.
Umberto wrapped Albina in his arms along with the blanket tightly.
Seeing how she looked, Albina rubbed her whole body between his arms.
Umberto’s body stiffened, his muscles tensed with a sense of momentum.
Albina patted his chest muscles.
-Sleep, don’t think about nonsense.
Then she felt the muscles bounce lightly under her hand, with a good feel, and she couldn’t resist moving her fingers downward, all the way to her abs.
The summer pajamas were especially light and thin, and through the thin fabric you could feel the tight, thick muscles.
Albina had experienced firsthand what it could do to her waist, so she let out a small sigh.
This soft sigh made Umberto’s body tense even more.
-Albina… you can’t challenge my stamina, I’ve been holding on for over three months now…..
Albina paused for a moment and hastened to withdraw her finger.
-What are you thinking, you have to learn to clear your mind of desire.
Umberto couldn’t resist slapping her hard on the buttocks.
It was obvious that she had seduced him first.
Albina was completely tamed by this slap and didn’t dare move, she snuggled into Umberto’s arms and closed her eyes sincerely.
She had been half asleep before, but after closing her eyes, she got a little sleepy and slowly fell asleep.
Umberto noticed her even breathing and stared at her face for a while, then reached over and gave her a kiss before hugging her back to sleep.
Time flew as they slept and it was already dawn.
The alarm went off frantically and Santiago woke up from the hangover, his head ached and his stomach churned so hard he felt like throwing up.
He had gone to bed late last night and had barely slept more than two hours, and his whole brain felt like it was about to explode.
-Ariana, my stomach is uncomfortable…..
Santiago froze for a moment after saying this.
Images of the previous night with Ariana floated in his mind.
Last night she had again proposed a breakup with a very determined attitude, without even giving him a chance.
In the future, when he found it hard to drink and his stomach was upset, there would be no one to cook him porridge and urge him to drink his medicine.
Santiago got up, still wearing his suit from the night before. His whole body smelled of alcohol and smoke.
He was in an unprecedented state of disarray.
He walked out through the room and looked toward the guest bedroom. His feet felt as if they were nailed in place, and he watched the closed door, unable to take another step.
The short distance was like a chasm in the sky that could not be crossed.
There was not a single movement in the bedroom, Santiago could hear nothing. He regretted having used special soundproofing materials when he first decorated it, so he had no chance to know Ariana’s situation.
“Is she still awake now, or maybe she hasn’t fallen asleep yet? What is she doing now?”
All this Santiago did not know.
While he was in a daze, with those thoughts floating in his mind, a doorbell suddenly rang from his suit pocket.
The sudden sound startled him, and Santiago hastily pulled out his phone, which was a call from a colleague at the hospital.
A man’s laughing voice came from the other end.
-Mr. Barrios, are you up? You were drunk last night and I put your car in the subway garage.
-Okay, I know,” Santiago’s voice was especially husky and sounded a bit nasal.
-Mr. Barrios, are you sick? You don’t look well.
Santiago could feel that he had a particular headache, and he was having trouble breathing through his nose. So he must have had too much to drink last night, caught a little cold and caught a chill.
-Nothing,” Santiago replied. Normally he was in relatively good health, this little illness would pass with a little resistance.
-He’s fine. Besides, it’s almost seven o’clock, he has an appointment with a patient at eight o’clock, so I won’t bother him.
After saying this, he hung up the phone.
Santiago stroked his forehead, he had almost forgotten that he had to go to work today. He had two patients in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Seeing that it was late, he ran to the bathroom to clean up, freshened up and came out.
She froze slightly at the sight of the cold, empty room.
Normally by this time, Ariana would have woken up and prepared breakfast.
A hot breakfast awaited him as soon as he had freshened up, along with a seemingly cold, but actually kind smile from her.
But now, there was nothing. The whole house seemed to return to how cold and unpopular it was before they were together.
After changing clothes and leaving, Santiago looked at the time, it would be too late if he didn’t leave.
But there was still no movement in Ariana’s room.
He had to leave first. When he returned, he wanted to have a talk with her again.
