Ariana, a person who was afraid of being in love, made an exception for Santiago and tried to be with him.
Even if it was not a deep love, she really loved him. When they were together, she really treated him wholeheartedly.
No matter how others suspected her, she didn’t care. But only Santiago couldn’t do it.
She thought she had nothing to feel sorry for him for.
Santiago looked at her dumbfounded, his nose a little red.
-Then why do you stop loving me so easily? I still love you very much, why don’t you love me anymore? -Are you sincere, do you really not want to reconcile with me? I promise you that this time I will treat you well, really, I swear it!
Ariana looked at him expressionless and even with a bit of sarcasm.
After a long time, she said slowly:
-Santiago, you cheated on me first.
“So, what are you doing here?”
Santiago paused, staring at Ariana. He could not answer.
This sentence seemed to have hit his weak spot and he didn’t know how to respond.
Whether it had been Natalia’s trap or not, he betrayed her. In this relationship, he owed Ariana.
After Ariana said this, she looked at him and said softly:
-The sun is very strong, go back to avoid a heat stroke and let’s not meet again in the future.
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Santiago unconsciously took two steps, but stopped.
He didn’t even have the right to hold her back. It would only annoy her if he followed her.
Thinking about what she said before she left, Santiago smiled bitterly.
Ariana cared about him even when he left, maybe it was just casual words, but it made him even more unable to forget her.

Albina was in the room, lying on the bed with the air conditioner on and playing the phone. She was a little sleepy. As she was about to sleep for a while, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
She froze for a moment, then left the room.
He didn’t know who would come at this time, Umberto would be back in the evening, so it must not be him.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ariana holding a large box in the doorway as she smiled.
A smile appeared on Albina’s face, she looked at the box in her hand with sparkling eyes.
-Are you bringing dessert? I can smell the sweetness.
Ariana laughed as she listened to her.
-You really do have the nose of a dog. Even though I’ve wrapped it well, you can still smell it.
As she spoke, she walked in the door and put the box on the table.
Albina happily walked over, opened the box and made an exclamation.
The box was filled with various desserts, she took a Daifuku and immediately took a big bite.
The stuffed mochi was cold and tasted perfect in this warm weather.
The crust was tender and fluffy, the cream was sweet and fresh, and it had pulp when he bit into it. The filling was mango, which was especially delicious.
Albina was eating happily, and suddenly she heard Ariana say:
-I just ran into Santiago…..
The cream got stuck in her throat, and Albina coughed violently twice.
Ariana hurried to stroke her back and said:
-How can you choke on a dessert like a child? Eat it slowly.
As she swallowed the contents of her mouth with difficulty, he grabbed her arm and asked:
-Did you meet Santiago? What did you say? Did he do something to you?
Ariana smiled helplessly and lightly touched Albina’s forehead.
-Don’t suspect blindly, Santiago is not that bad.
Although they had separated, Ariana did not speak ill of Santiago.
He was not so reliable in the relationship, but his character was not bad.
-No, no, I didn’t mean he would do anything to you, I just meant, he, he…. -Albina explained.
-You mean did he want to reconcile with me, didn’t you?
Albina nodded quickly.
Ariana laughed and lowered her head.
-He said so, but I didn’t accept.
These words did not exceed Albina’s expectation, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“It was fine, it was fine.”
Only then Albina picked up the Daifuku and ate it again calmly.
In fact, there was no need to worry at all. With Ariana’s personality, it was surprising to give Santiago a chance. This was the second time, so no matter how Santiago swore, it would be impossible for Ariana to reconcile with him.
Then she remembered when Macos held the box of food today, his bright eyes full of anticipation and a big smile.
Macos was a better fit for Ariana. At least, he was much better than Santiago.
Although something hadn’t happened yet, Albina bet that Macos would definitely woo Ariana successfully in the future.
With his pushy nature, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
As soon as Ariana turned her head, she saw Albina with strange eyes as she ate. She didn’t know what she was thinking about, every now and then, she would show a strange smile, which made her panic.
-What are you thinking about?
Ariana reached over and squeezed her cheek.
Albina was imagining the scene where Macos was chasing Ariana. When she came closer, she panicked.
-No, I just think your cooking skill is better, this Daifuku is better than the ones sold in the store.
Ariana gave him a doubtful look.
-Continue, you haven’t finished talking,” Albina said hurriedly.
Ariana told the story in which Santiago followed her and was chased away by her.
Albina was full of admiration. Although she was also ruthless at times, she was also very kind. Otherwise Umberto would not marry her so quickly.
-Do you think I am ruthless? Natalia, Santiago, everyone said she was too calm. You and Macos also asked me before, now I’m starting to doubt myself.
Albina put down the dessert in her hand, the excitement on her face disappeared, and she looked a little more serious.
She shook her head, looked at Ariana and said:
-It’s not about being heartless or not, it’s just not enough love.
Seeing Ariana stunned, she continued:
-If you love him very much, you can’t be so calm. When you really like someone, no one else can appear in your eyes. You only have that person in your heart, and even insignificant things make you sad for a long time, let alone a separation.
Albina rarely remembered the past, because she had a good life now.
Umberto loved her very much, the Santangel Family also loved and supported her. She had her own business and very good friends.
But for Ariana to know her heart more clearly, she forced herself to remember how she felt when she and Umberto divorced.
-When Umberto said he wanted to divorce me, I felt like the sky was about to fall and I felt like a walking corpse. If my mother wasn’t alive at that moment, I couldn’t hold on.
Ariana patted her arm to signal her to stop and stop thinking about it.
Even Ariana couldn’t bring herself to remember the time when she saw Albina more than a year ago.
-Ariana, you have never been a ruthless person. If you were that, you wouldn’t be so kind to me.
Albina pointed to the desserts on the table with a smile.
Then she thought of Macos, raised her eyebrows and looked at Ariana.
-When you meet someone who can really attract all your emotions in the future, you’ll know.
