At the thought of Jaime using such a hapless villain to pretend to be her father, Albina felt very uncomfortable.
Umberto rubbed her long hair, and gave her a deep look.
-For now we will leave him alive. When we know Jaime’s intention, it won’t be too late to resolve it.
She took a deep breath, held back the unhappiness she felt, and said:
-He’s very lucky this time. Speaking of Jaime, what a son of a bitch he is, he’s like a cockroach, we can’t solve it or get rid of him. How annoying!
At this time, Jaime had been the person I hated the most after the Carballal family.
Seeing her somber expression, and her furrowed eyebrows, Umberto embraced her warmly.
-Stop thinking about this. Go to sleep now. Jaime won’t be happy for long. Sooner or later, I’ll make him kneel before us.
The day Jaime will celebrate his betrothal ceremony will be the first step to defeat him.
***
At the same time, in the Seco family. Jaime returned home with an annoyed and angry expression. When he walked up the stairs, he almost tripped because he wasn’t paying attention.
He groaned from the pain in his ankle, his expression became pained, and you could see a lot of resentment on his face.
“Damn Umberto, if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t end up like this like an asshole. Just because of Grandfather Alfredo’s fame, no one has said anything before me.”
Nevertheless, when the others looked at Jaime, he could feel the pity reflected in their gazes.
Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but get angry. Just as he started to curse, he heard a light cough from the couch in the living room.
He turned his head, and what he saw surprised him. He didn’t have time to hide the resentments reflected in his expression, so twisted did his face look.
-Grandfather?
Alfredo frowned and looked at him, and after a long time asked in a hoarse voice.
-Don’t you get along with the daughter of the Pomar family?
Jaime’s expression became serious, he approached Alfredo, gritted his teeth, and said:
-Have the people of the Pomar family said anything to you?
-Well, what has really happened between you? -His eyes sank, a grave seriousness reflected in his gaze.
Jaime repressed the anger in his heart and said:
-Today I went out with Angelina, we met Umberto and others. They said some crap in front of Angelina….
-Did you provoke them? -Alfredo knew his grandson very well, and in an instant, he realized that he was lying, and pointed it out directly to him.
Jaime was speechless, his face turned red.
Alfredo looked at him seriously.
-I have warned you that you can’t provoke Umberto, are you so big now, and you don’t even listen to my words?
Jaime didn’t want to resign himself, he was about to refute, but as soon as his eyes met Alfredo’s cold eyes, in an instant, he felt he had to repress all his dissatisfaction.
He lowered his head, and said in a low voice.
-I’m sorry, grandfather, it was my fault. What happens is that I can’t control myself when I remember that Umberto has something to do with my foot injury. I’m sorry.
Hearing these words, Alfredo lost his reason for a moment, frowned slightly and finally sighed.
-I’m tired. I’m going to rest. You rest early, too. As for the Pomar family, I want you to go and give them an explanation tomorrow. The engagement ceremony is very close now. There can’t be any mistake.
For Jaime’s sake, they decided on a date for the ceremony in a hurry. They didn’t have time to prepare things very well, but they wanted to rehearse before the ceremony, so they could only do their best to organize it well. They just hoped there wouldn’t be any mistakes in the ceremony.
Jaime kept his head down, and said respectfully:
-Yes. Okay.
When Alfredo’s back disappeared completely, Jaime slowly raised his head.
Alfredo was still the head of the Seco family, for that reason, he had to hold on. However, as reported by Alfredo’s doctor, his health was getting worse and worse.
At that thought, Jaime smiled coldly. Now he had to repress all his emotions. As long as Alfredo was still alive, he would do his best to please him, but as soon as he died, the Dry Group would be in his hands. At that moment, he would make all those who had harmed him suffer the consequences!
The next day, when Umberto woke up, Albina was still sleeping.
She fell asleep when she was still crying last night, and now her eyelids were still a little puffy and her eyebrows were furrowed, it looked like she had been having a sad dream.
Some pain appeared in Umberto’s look, he went over to her and kissed her eyelids gently, and tried to make her eyebrows not furrowed with his fingers.
Maybe it was that she wasn’t sleeping soundly, or Umberto’s actions woke her up.
She opened her eyes and unconsciously reached out her slender fingers to grasp his large hand and whispered:
-Umberto, where are you going?
-I’m going to work to earn money to create a happy life for my love,” he took her fingers, and placed a kiss on them, his voice was incredibly soft.
She was already half awake, and caressed him gently as well. Seeing that he was already well dressed, she said:
-I’m not coming down to see you off, I’m dying of sleep, I want to go back to sleep.
Seeing that she was so lazy, but still very cute, he burst out laughing and rubbed her hair.
-Sleep, when you wake up, text me. I’m leaving now.
When Umberto was still talking, she had already fallen asleep.
He shook his head, helped her fix the quilt and left the house.
She fell asleep for a long time. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful, mature face, so she was startled, and shrank back.
-Albina, did I startle you?
When he heard her voice, he discovered that it was Umberto’s mother standing in front of him.
“Why is she here?”
As soon as she thought about it, she realized that she was still lying on the bed, disheveled. And Umberto’s mother saw her like this. So she quickly shrank back and said in a panic:
-Mrs. Santangel. I’m sorry, I just woke up, I haven’t washed yet.
Seeing the nervous expression on her face, Olivia waved her hand with a very kind look.
-It was me who entered your room without asking your permission. Don’t worry, Umberto will be back very soon.
Albina got out of bed and was going to wash and change. But when she was about to leave the room, Olivia stopped her.
-Change your clothes first, Umberto’s grandfather and father are outside.
Hearing her words, Albina was stunned.
“Why did the whole Santangel family come here? We went to visit them yesterday.”
Seeing that she became dazed, and that her eyes were a little red and puffy, Olivia stroked her hair with much affection and pity.
-“Silly little daughter, you’re stunned now. This morning Umberto told us the truth. It was your father who saved his life. It turns out that the person we had been looking for for so many years was by our side, what a pity that…..
It was a pity that the Carballal family gang had done something so bad that they didn’t even have the chance to meet Juan Espina.
Fortunately, however, the destiny between Umberto and Albina was incredible. After all that had happened, he would marry the daughter of the person who had saved his life. In the future, the Santangel family would treat Albina with all their hearts, they would treat her as if she were their own daughter. It would be a way to return the favor.
Olivia looked at her guiltily.
-I’m so sorry for mistreating you.
In the past, Yolanda stole the grace of being Umberto’s savior and enjoyed the best treatment from the Santangel family. But, Olivia had mistreated the daughter of the real savior, and humiliated her every day, even though she would marry Umberto.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she was not worthy enough to see her, so she lowered her head. She didn’t have the courage to look into his eyes.
Seeing that Olivia was embarrassed and humiliated, Albina went over and hugged her, patted her back and said:
-Mrs. Santangel, life is unpredictable, none of us ever imagined that this could have happened. But everything has already happened, and the bad guys have already had their punishments. Now Umberto wants to marry me. We’re all going to be fine.
Olivia listened to his voice, and felt like crying. As she was hugged by Albina, suddenly, many thoughts popped up in her head.
“How nice to have a daughter! I’ve never enjoyed Umberto’s nice words, that asshole. Albina is so loving and considerate. I have a daughter-in-law like that, I’m going to brag to my friends when we have event.”
Albina hugged her, but sighed slyly.
She was no goddess anyway. Olivia had mistreated her badly, and she couldn’t deny that she hadn’t had countless resentments.
However, now that she thought about it, Olivia was such a person. When Yolanda had pretended to be the person who saved Umberto, Olivia had given her all the love. But now she had learned the truth, she was already very upset with her.
Olivia was not a bad person, but her emotions were too extreme. After going through so much, one could only say that life is unpredictable.
