Chapter 420: Michael’s companion

Book:The Blind Wife Published:2024-6-3

The woman in front of the window was fair-skinned, with nice features and light makeup.
When Albina saw Umberto, she unconsciously revealed a bright smile.
Umberto approached her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He wanted to kiss her, but he was afraid of smudging the makeup he had worked so hard to achieve, so he could only kiss her on the neck.
Albina was a little shy and turned her face away.
-Don’t leave a hickey or I won’t be able to serve the guests.
Her skin was so delicate that Umberto could make hickeys with a little force. She wore a dress that exposed her shoulders and was embarrassed to be seen by others.
-Don’t worry, I’ll just give a light kiss, it won’t leave a hickey -Umberto said with his voice a little hoarse.
He circled Albina’s waist and sighed.
-I don’t want to let you out.
He wanted to hide Albina because he didn’t want others to see how wonderful she was.
-What nonsense are you talking?! -Albina let out a laugh and took his hand, “It’s late, we should go down now.
It was their engagement party and they had to go down to greet the guests.
Umberto was led by her with some reluctance and was almost down the stairs when he adjusted himself and let Albina take his arm.
The guests had almost arrived.
As soon as the two had descended the stairs, many people greeted them. Albina had followed them to several parties and already knew many of them.
She maintained an impeccable smile and was very polite.
After greeting all the guests, Ariana and Macos walked towards them, followed by Emily and Morena.
Albina was happy and pulled Umberto to greet them.
-Albina, you look so beautiful today, I can’t stop looking at you.
Ariana looked at Albina and complimented her with a smile.
-You can’t keep looking at me, Umberto will get jealous -Albina raised her chin and replied arrogantly.
She made everyone laugh with a comment.
Umberto, who had been teased by his fiance, was not bothered and smiled as he looked at her fondly.
It was the first time Emily and Morena had seen Umberto in person, and they both watched him slyly.
Seeing that he was truly devoted to Albina and loved her dearly, they were completely relieved.
After Albina finished talking to them, she looked at the guests, but she couldn’t find the person she wanted to find and lowered her head with some disappointment.
Madame Espina didn’t really come.
Umberto noticed that she was a little down and took her hand.
-Albina, Santiago has arrived.
Albina raised her head and looked towards the door.
Sure enough she saw Santiago and Camilo walking towards them, laughing.
-Umberto, Albina, congratulations! -Santiago greeted them loudly before approaching.
After greeting the two of them, Albina looked behind Camilo.
Camilo knew what she was looking for and pointed to the door with a smile.
-Miguel is in there. He just came back last night alone to attend your engagement party.
A smile appeared on Albina’s face and she immediately pulled Umberto to go to Miguel.
After these days of recuperation, although Miguel was still a bit thin, he looked the same as when he was healthy.
He looked very kind and polite with a suit and a smile on his face.
As Albina was about to approach him, she suddenly saw Miguel waving behind him and a slim girl came up and grabbed his arm.
This sudden appearance made both Albina and Umberto stunned for a moment.
But before long, Albina relaxed and a smirk appeared on her face.
It was fortunate that Miguel had another girl by his side, it meant he was completely fine. Albina felt relieved and with a soft smile on her face, she took Umberto’s hand and approached naturally.
When the girl appeared, Umberto had been secretly watching Albina’s reaction, and when he saw that she wasn’t upset, he smiled.
It seemed that Albina really only treated Miguel as a friend.
All of Umberto’s wariness of Miguel suddenly disappeared, and he now felt much more comfortable watching him.
Miguel looked a bit serious and was talking to the girl next to him when he suddenly heard a sweet voice.
-Miguel!
The sound was crisp and pleasant, and gave a cool feeling on a hot summer day.
His body stiffened and he slowly raised his head to meet Albina’s smile. Suddenly he became a little nervous.
-Albina…
He looked at Albina, she had a delicate face and was approaching him wearing the skirt of her white dress. He felt as if everything around him had disappeared and she was the only one in his eyes.
-Mr. Eagle!
Suddenly, Umberto’s low, husky voice snapped him out of his daze.
Miguel quickly and discreetly adjusted the expression on his face and greeted them.
-Mr. Santangel, Albina, long time no see.
-It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you,” Albina looked at him with a smile. It’s been more than three months. When I came back, I tried to find you, but your brother said you had gone on a trip to rest. How have you been these days? Was the scenery outside beautiful?
Albina blinked at Miguel and looked at the girl next to him.
The girl was wearing a pink dress and was very delicate. It was possible that she was shy, because she kept her head down and only showed her white neck, but she must have been a beauty.
Miguel was a little uncomfortable and felt as if his arm was on fire.
-Albina, this is a friend I just met….
Before he could finish his sentence, the girl raised her head. Seeing her face clearly, both Albina and Umberto took a deep breath.
It was Sandra, Saul’s daughter who had been bothering Umberto at the club the day Albina returned.
-Mr. Santangel, Miss Espina, what a coincidence! -Sandra raised her head and greeted them both with a smile.
Albina didn’t know if it was an illusion or not, but she felt that today’s Sandra looked even more like her.
At first there was only a slight resemblance in the eyebrows, but today there was an indescribable resemblance all over her face.
Umberto looked a little unpleasant. He looked at Sandra, then at Miguel, and suddenly sneered.
-Miguel, do you know what you’re doing?
Miguel was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head slightly.
-What are you talking about? I can’t understand it.
Umberto was about to speak when Albina quickly pulled his arm and said to Miguel with a stiff smile.
-Miguel, we still have other guests to greet, so excuse us for now. Have a good time.
After saying that, she hurried to pull Umberto away from them.
Only after finding a secluded spot did Albina let go of Umberto’s hand.
-Umberto, don’t be angry, today is our engagement party. Sergio and the others have gone to a lot of effort to prepare it, I don’t want to cause trouble.
Umberto was still angry. His eyes were full of anger, as if he wanted to burn everything.
-What is Miguel’s intention in bringing Sandra here? -his voice was hoarse and he almost spoke through clenched teeth- -And Sandra, you’ve seen her too. Before only her eyes looked a little like yours, today she has purposely disguised herself as you. What do they want to do!
As soon as this was mentioned, Albina also felt uncomfortable.
Seeing the disappearance of her smile, Umberto patted her arm and hugged her.
He remembered that the first time Albina appeared before the public was at Miguel’s father’s birthday party. At that time, she appeared as Miguel’s girlfriend.
Although this had come to light, everyone knew the identity was false. But there was also discussion for a while about Albina and Miguel’s relationship.
Umberto trusted Albina and knew she had nothing to do with Miguel, but others did not. Miguel brought such a woman today, and if someone with bad intentions saw her, he would bring up the past again.
He didn’t want them to speak ill of Albina on such an important day.
The more Umberto thought about it, the more somber his eyes became. He didn’t understand, Michael loved Albina very much, he shouldn’t have embarrassed Albina on such an important day. What exactly was his intention in bringing this woman?
