Ariana was surprised, Santiago should have heard what she said a moment ago about not reconciling with him again.
However, she was not guilty. She clearly told Santiago on the phone that she would not reconcile with him. But, he suddenly appeared in front of her.
She was just a little embarrassed.
When Natalia saw Santiago, she trembled as if she was meeting a ghost, and did not dare to speak. She shrugged her shoulders to hide her presence.
How much she wanted to be with Santiago before and how much she wanted to escape from him now.
Santiago ignored her, just looked at Ariana silently and did not speak for a long time.
He heard that Natalia came looking for Ariana, and he was afraid that she would cause trouble for Ariana, so he left his job and came here out of concern that Natalia would say nonsense in front of her.
As a result, she ran around in the sun and sweated a lot because of the heat, and only listened to what Ariana said.
She said she would never reconcile with him.
Even if he had heard it once before, when he heard it again, he felt a lot of pain.
They only hadn’t seen each other in a few days, but it seemed like a century had passed. Ariana was still the same, nothing had changed. However, she no longer looked at him with tenderness, now there was only indifference and coldness.
Santiago was very unhappy.
In fact, Ariana was not as calm as she seemed on the surface. In the darkness of the night, she also imagined when they would meet again, but she never expected it to be in such an embarrassing scene.
Besides, it was obvious that Santiago had not been well in the last few days. He was thinner and even more emaciated than Natalia. As for Ariana, under Macos’ care, her cheeks had become a little chubbier and her skin was clear and beautiful. You could tell she had a good life.
-Charlad, I’m going first.
Ariana sat in the middle, with Natalia on the opposite side and Santiago behind her, she was quite uncomfortable, so she quickly said goodbye. When she got up from her seat, Santiago took a step and blocked her way.
Ariana raised her head with a pout.
-Santiago, what do you want to do?
Seeing her expression, Santiago panicked for a moment and quickly explained:
-Ariana, don’t get me wrong?
-Stop it! -Ariana interrupted him, “Please, call me Ariana Andino or Miss Ariana. If you call me so intimately, I’m afraid others might misunderstand.
As soon as these words came out, Santiago felt his heart stop for a moment and he took a deep breath.
His eyes widened and he asked cautiously:
-You said you were afraid of being misunderstood? Do you have someone you like now?
Ariana looked at him in confusion.
-What are you thinking about?
It was impossible for her to fall in love with someone else in such a short time. Besides, after her relationship, she rejected love and didn’t dare to like others easily.
-I’m sorry,” Santiago was relieved when he saw that she denied it.
Although he clearly knew it was impossible for them to reconcile, he still liked Ariana and didn’t want her to be with another man.
-Did Natalia say anything to you?
Natalia had been silent the whole time. Hearing this, she shook her head.
-No, no, I didn’t say anything. I only asked Miss Ariana to reconcile with you, I didn’t say anything else.
It was just that Ariana didn’t agree in the end.
Ariana did not want her to take the blame and explained:
-Natalia didn’t say anything to me, don’t worry, can you step aside now?
She looked at her watch as she spoke and said mercilessly:
-You two have already set me back an hour.
Santiago felt a little sad to see her indifferent appearance and looked at Natalia with sharp eyes.
-Why don’t you leave?
Seeing that Santiago didn’t get angry with her, Natalia was surprised, quickly left the restaurant and disappeared in an instant.
Ariana looked at Santiago, and he obediently gave way to her.
She clenched the bag in her hand and walked past him expressionlessly. She was relieved when he passed.
At last, it was over. They used to be close, but now they were separated, and they were a little embarrassed when they met.
It was no wonder they said that after breaking up, they couldn’t be friends, because they hurt each other before, and they couldn’t be enemies, because they fell in love before. It was better to be strangers.
When she left the restaurant, Ariana felt that something was wrong, she frowned and looked back. She discovered that Santiago was following her neither too far nor too close.
She walked forward, and Santiago also walked forward. She stopped, and Santiago also stopped.
“He’s following me!”
After Ariana realized this, her face became even colder. She walked a few more steps and hailed a cab. When she got into the car, she looked back and saw Santiago standing on the side of the street, staring at her.
Seeing that he was not following her, she was relieved.
However, as the cab almost reached its destination, the driver looked in the rearview mirror with a serious expression.
-Girl, have you offended someone? A black car has been following us all the way and is still following us now. Could something go wrong? If you’re afraid, I’m going straight to the police station.
Ariana looked back. Sure enough, she saw a familiar car, it was Santiago’s!
She was instantly angry.
“What do you want to do? We’ve already separated and made it clear, so why are you still following me?”
-Sir, you don’t need to pay attention to him, drive fast and get away from him.
Seeing the anger on her face, the driver had an assumption and even started conversing with Ariana.
-Is he your boyfriend and you fight? It’s normal for couples to fight. You must learn to be tolerant.
Ariana listened to him, looked at him silently and said:
-Do I need to tolerate my boyfriend even if he cheats on me?
The driver was talking cheerfully, but his words choked him and he closed his mouth completely.
When he arrived at the residence, Ariana paid and got out of the car.
She took only two steps and heard the sound of a car. Her face darkened, she turned her head and stayed where she was, not walking towards the residence.
The car slowly passed in front of her and then stopped.
Ariana just looked at the person in the car silently, Santiago saw that she could not hide, so she got out of the car.
-Ariana…
When he called her name, he remembered that she wouldn’t let him call her that anymore.
Santiago turned pale and changed his name.
-Ariana Andino, I just want to know where you live, that’s all.
Hearing this, Ariana frowned and scoffed.
-What do you want to do when you know where I live? Santiago, why didn’t I think you would be so capable of following me? What’s the next step? What do you want to do, break into my house?
Santiago was hurt by her words, and said in a low voice:
-Can you not talk about this? I feel uncomfortable listening to him.
Seeing him lower his head, Ariana sighed.
-Santiago, can you not be such a shit? I’m a woman and I can forget about it, why can’t you just let it go? You’re the son of the Barrios Family, you’re rich and handsome, what kind of woman can’t you get, why can’t you leave me alone?
Santiago, the son of the Barrios Family, had an arrogant personality and was born to live carefree. Why was he so humble in front of her to please her?
This behavior was not suitable for Santiago!
Santiago heard the words, when he looked at her, his eyes were reddened. His hands were clenched into fists and there were tears in his eyes.
-Ariana Andino, why did you forget so easily? We only broke up for a few days. You never loved me!
Ariana’s patience disappeared as soon as he said this, and her eyes became severe.
-Santiago, it doesn’t matter what others say about this, but you are the only one who is not qualified. Don’t you know if I loved you or not?
