Seeing Albina’s joking expression, Ariana laughed softly, picked up an egg tart and popped it into her mouth.
-Okay, okay, don’t mind my business. We are equals. You only have one love, which is Umberto. What experience do you have?
Albina ate the egg tart in silence, and didn’t dare to tell him that there was a man beside her. Maybe she would even take Ariana away in some time.
When Ariana arrived, she was very worried. But when she left, her mood was much better.
Time passed quickly, Umberto said in the morning that he would take her back to Santangel’s house after he got off work, so he left the company right away.
Albina was waiting for him at the door of the residence. When she saw the car approaching from a distance, she happily ran.
In the first second she got into the car, she shoved what she was holding in her hand into Umberto’s mouth.
Umberto ate a coconut ball by surprise. It was small and sweet, and melted in his mouth.
Albina flashed an even sweeter smile than the coconut ball, looked at him and asked:
-Is it delicious, is it sweet?
Umberto was not very interested in desserts, but looking at her smile, he only thought that this coconut ball could sweeten his heart.
-Delicious and sweet.
Albina smiled proudly.
-This one is made by Ariana, I saved the last one for you.
Umberto’s look changed. The dessert Ariana brought especially for Albina couldn’t be just a small portion, did she eat all the rest by herself?
-Albina, did you brush your teeth after eating so many desserts?
Albina was a little annoyed by his tone.
-Of course I brushed my teeth well.
-Good -Umberto rubbed her long hair and praised her.
Albina was caressed by his warm hand, the anger in her heart disappeared and she was helpless.
It was so easy for Umberto to comfort her. He had learned the essence of caressing and controlled her well.
Soon they arrived at the Santangel house.
Just as Albina and Umberto got out of the car, they suddenly heard a sound similar to a firecracker. Then streamers slowly fell from the top of the two.
From the first sound, Umberto quickly covered Albina’s ears.
Albina was startled, but not frightened. When she recovered, she saw Sergio and Umberto’s parents in front of them.
Both were holding tubes of ribbons and fireworks, their faces full of smiles.
Sergio covered his face, feigned embarrassment and muttered:
-These two are grown up and still pretending to be young, how embarrassing.
Olivia came up with this idea. Although she was not young, she was very naive and capricious under Daniel’s love. She did what she wanted, and Daniel was willing to laugh with her.
She also persuaded Sergio to do it with them, but Sergio was too embarrassed and turned her down.
Olivia stepped forward enthusiastically after the streamers, hugged Albina’s shoulder and smiled.
-Albina, congratulations, I’ve read many of your reports. I didn’t expect you to be so good. Both domestic and foreign media have praised you.
-Thank you, aunt. Although this Fashion Week was successful, it was all thanks to Claire.
Albina was being very honest. If it weren’t for Claire, she would never be able to have contact with those people and wouldn’t be taken seriously.
Olivia looked at her disapprovingly, patted her hand, lifted her chin and said proudly:
-Albina, it’s not like that. If you weren’t talented, Claire wouldn’t have picked you out of so many people. Although we don’t understand the design very well, we can see that the success of this program is due to your merit!
Albina listened to his praise and smiled warmly.
From the first day she married Umberto, she never dared to imagine that Olivia would be so kind to her one day. It was said that the Santangel Family protected relatives well. After the Santangel Family recognized her, she knew this.
Olivia fondly watched her smile, and then, seeing that Umberto had no expression, showed contempt.
Indeed, the tender and soft girl was very different from the cold man. Albina’s smile could warm the hearts of others.
Because the Santangel Family had few relatives, Olivia always hoped that Umberto would get married soon and have a child as soon as possible.
Now, she thought it was better to have a daughter. The girls were soft and tender, and at the thought of her calling her grandmother, Olivia’s cheeks reddened with excitement.
Olivia held Albina’s hand tightly and said:
-Albina, your work has come to an end now. Sergio has been preparing for your engagement to Umberto, it must be time to announce it.
Albina listened, looked at Umberto and lowered her head shyly.
-I’m ready, everything depends on you.
They should have been engaged long ago, but Umberto was afraid of getting in the way of his work, so he had delayed until now.
She did not refuse him, rather, she took this opportunity to determine their marriage.
Olivia was already ready for her to refuse, but he did not expect her to agree. She instantly looked excited and wanted to say something.
But Daniel took her by the shoulders and pulled her close to his side.
-It’s okay, let’s go into the house first and talk.
They made a big noise a moment ago. Although the Santangel Family’s house was far from the neighbors, many older people were out for a walk at this time.
Attracted by their movements, everyone was watching from the side.
Only then Olivia closed her mouth and Sergio coughed slightly, attracting everyone’s attention.
Just now, Sergio wanted to go ahead to talk to them first, but Olivia took the lead and finally he would have a chance.
-Come on, dinner is ready. After dinner, let’s talk about all this.
Then he entered the courtyard first.
Olivia approached Albina, took her by the arm and they talked and walked.
Daniel had no choice but to stay with his son, one was indifferent and the other was silent, following his own wife.
Olivia looked at Sergio’s serious back and whispered:
-Albina, although Sergio didn’t say anything, he asked Alonso to print all your reports. Every time he walks around, he brags in front of his friends. Now all the neighbors know your name.
Albina was surprised. In her mind, the scene appeared where Sergio bragged in the middle of a group of old people.
When she thought of that, Albina looked at her back with a smile.
It felt great to be pampered by the elders.
-I know you’ll be opening a studio when you get back, so I took the opportunity to introduce you to the ladies in the circle. They are all very curious about you now. When you open, don’t forget to design an outfit for me. At that time, I will be your studio representative.
As Olivia spoke, she remembered the banquet she would be attending next month.
She was usually out of work. In addition to playing cards, shopping and various amusements, she had to attend several banquets and socialize as a representative of the Santangel Family.
Wasn’t she the best representative for the study?
Albina’s eyes grew brighter as she listened, she took Olivia’s hand and said happily:
-Don’t worry, you are the most important.
When Olivia heard this, she immediately smiled. The clothes and makeup Albina designed for her last time made her look stunning at the banquet.
She was looking forward to being able to show off once again in front of everyone.
Besides, Albina invited her to manage the studio together, so she had to work more.
They chatted and laughed, and the two men behind them also started talking.
-I heard that a reporter broke into the Santangel Group’s live broadcast and said he had found your savior? -Daniel asked first.
Although the Santangel Group resolved this matter instantly, the news was still spread around a bit.
Umberto nodded.
-Yes, but that person wasn’t the one who saved me back then.
-How can you be so sure?
Daniel was puzzled. He answered all the questions and the details were correct. The witnesses they found also said they looked a bit alike. He also saw their figure in the video from the neighboring stores.
Almost all the evidence had been gathered. If it was Daniel, he would have recognized that person by now. Even if not, there was no one who looked more like Umberto’s savior than Saul.
