Albina had incredible taste, and she didn’t spend much time finding clothes for Miguel.
Miguel was just like Umberto. Even in the summer, he was used to wearing suits. Before, when she met him, if he wasn’t wearing a doctor’s uniform, it would be in a black suit. They were both very boring, although he had a handsome appearance, he looked a bit aloof.
This time, she chose a simple white t-shirt and a pair of jeans. They were a young and fresh style.
When the saleswoman saw that she had chosen this set of clothes, she hesitated to say something, but glancing at Miguel, who was standing behind Albina and looking at Albina tenderly, she said nothing.
That set of clothes seemed too juvenile for this man’s temperament.
-Miguel, come over here and try these on.
Finally, Albina made up her mind and asked him to leave the bags from his hands, and put the two garments in his arms for him to change.
Only then did he notice the style of the clothes in her hands. He was surprised for a few seconds, but then obediently went to try them on.
As long as it was Albina’s choice, even if it was a dirty rag, he would gladly put it on his body.
When Albina was choosing clothes, she had noticed the expression of the saleswoman standing next to her. Now, seeing her looking in the direction of the fitting room with concern, she smiled and set about choosing an outfit.
The outfit she had just chosen was a spontaneous idea, she just wanted to see how it would look on her.
After a while, Miguel came out of the fitting room. At the sound, Albina and the saleswoman turned their heads, and when they saw the man, they were shocked.
Miguel grabbed the hem of the shirt, and when he saw that Albina was looking at him, his face reddened a little.
-It doesn’t fit me, does it?
You could tell he was nervous just by hearing her voice.
Albina hurriedly digressed to him and spun him around a few times, but he didn’t answer her.
He thought the clothes didn’t fit, and was about to run to the fitting room.
-I’m going to change.
-No, please,” she stopped him immediately and led him to the front of the mirror. Come and take a look.
Miguel stood in front of the mirror, and when he saw the person in the mirror, he was lost for a moment.
He almost never dressed in this kind of clothes. Even when he was a teenager, he wore more white shirts. He always thought he didn’t look good in this style of clothing.
However, unexpectedly, it looked amazing on him.
With the white T-shirt and black jeans, he looked even younger and looked like a college kid.
He was very handsome, and had no trace of sadness or depression.
-You weren’t expecting him, were you? -Albina’s voice reached his ear.
Miguel’s gaze fell on the profile of her face and he nodded his head.
-Right.
She smiled, helped him fix the wrinkles in the lapel and bent down to help him adjust his pants.
He felt a little embarrassed and quickly wanted to help her up. But she finished helping him very quickly, gave him a few pats on his shoulders, and winked at him.
-Doctor Miguel, you look super handsome. If you walk around the hospital like that, you will absolutely steal the hearts of many of the nurses.
Her words stunned him. Suddenly, he remembered that after Albina’s eye operation, when she saw him for the first time, she also winked at him and said the same words.
The saleswoman also kept complimenting him.
-Your wife really has good taste. You look so handsome and young…..
Albina lifted her chin proudly.
-Of course, Miguel is like a natural model. He’ll look good in any outfit.
He listened to her words, lowered his head and smiled. The sadness in his heart dissipated for some reason.
Then, he pulled out his card and handed it to the saleswoman to pay.
As they left the store, he suddenly pulled a small box out of his pocket and handed it to Albina.
-Albina, I’ll give it back to you.
She looked at the small black box, took it with some hesitation and opened it.
The two pearl earrings glittered beautifully in the box.
At the same time, at Grupo Santangel.
Someone from the technical department suddenly rushed out in a hurry, went to the president’s office, and excitedly informed the tall man standing in front of the window.
-Mr. Santangel, we have located your wife.
Umberto turned his head abruptly. Because he had not slept all night, his eyes were very red and he looked very gloomy, and made people not dare to look directly at him.
-What did you say?
***
In the mall, Albina was dazedly clutching her earrings, and Miguel touched her hair.
-Albina, didn’t you tell me you wanted to go to the bathroom? I’ll wait for you here, so go.
Hearing this, she raised her head and looked at him. Seeing that Miguel’s gaze was full of tenderness, her eyes reddened.
-Albina, please don’t cry. I’ll settle for just one day.
He smiled, and helped her dry her tears.
-After you leave, I will denounce myself and go to the Santangel family to ask their forgiveness.
He knew he had done something wrong and that maybe Albina would not blame him, but he could not pretend as if nothing had happened, and he had to assume all responsibilities.
Besides, Miguel assumed that when he proposed to go shopping, she had already guessed that he would let her go.
She was very smart, however, this time she did not reject him, but acted as his girlfriend and accompanied him on the shopping trip. She was a very good woman, and he could not be so selfish.
Love should be striven for by both people. If it was striven for by one, it would cause only trouble for the other.
Besides, now she was expecting Umberto’s baby.
Miguel looked at her belly, and warned her:
-When you leave, don’t run too fast. Be very careful with your body. When you get back to the Santangel family home, you have to go to the hospital for a medical checkup. Believe me, you will be very happy.
He didn’t say anything else, he wanted her to know the surprise on her own.
-Don’t stay here any longer, and go to the bathroom. I already checked and it’s on that side,” he pointed her in the direction.
It was the other door of the mall.
Albina’s eyes were moist, she rushed to hug him, and whispered in his ear.
-Miguel, thank you. Please don’t go to the police station. I’ll tell everyone that I only went on a trip with you of my own free will. No…
-Albina,” he patted her back, “don’t talk nonsense, it was all my fault.
Then he released her and smiled.
-Maybe it would be good for me to go to the police station. Umberto already knows I did this, and he won’t leave me alone. If I go to the police station, maybe he won’t do anything else to me.
He smiled slightly and waved his hand at her.
-Go and don’t waste any more time. You’ve been missing for almost a day, everyone in the Santangel family must be very worried.
Albina looked at him one last time, then turned and left.
Miguel looked at her back, stood there for a long time and then muttered:
-In fact, I should be the one to thank you.
After a while, the bodyguards at the door came to Miguel’s side and informed him.
-Miss Albina has left the mall.
Their expression was complicated, they did not understand why Miguel had let her go so easily when he had dedicated so much effort to create this villa and managed to get Albina out of the engagement ceremony under the eyes of the Santangel family.
Miguel ignored their doubts and gave them the bags he had in his hands.
-Send them to the Santangel family….
He paused and looked at the bodyguards.
-Tell the man who is following Albina to be very careful and not to let them hurt her.
These were Miguel’s private bodyguards. Since he was a child, they were already by his side to protect him, so seeing this, they couldn’t help but ask:
-Sir Miguel, why don’t you send her back? That way, the Santangel family will know that you really care about her.
Maybe the Santangel family would forgive you for that.
