Albina leaned down sharply, held Umberto’s head with one hand, lifted his chin with the other and kissed him hard.
Her teeth bit his pale lips and her voice trailed.
-Umberto, I love you so much, I really love you…..
Albina had never been as clear as she was at this moment that she loves Umberto very much.
There was no telling how long it was before Albina released Umberto and saw that his thin lips were red from his own kiss. Her lower lip was bitten to the point where the tooth marks showed. It looked like he kissed a little hard, biting his lips bloody.
-I, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, it’s just….
Before the words fell, suddenly a large hand wrapped around the back of his neck, and the thin lips were sealed again.
Umberto’s kiss was much more intense than Albina’s, and a thousand words turned into a fierce kiss. It was so strong that it would manage to attack the city and cause a storm.
Albina was completely out of breath, and for a moment her sense of time. She was totally in a trance.
-Mr. Umberto, I have brought you….
The sudden sound of the door opening and Reuben’s voice woke them both up.
Umberto released Albina’s lips, pressed his face against her arms and looked toward the door with sharp eyes, revealing a dark, repressed aura of desire and dissatisfaction.
Ruben opened his mouth and stammered.
-The doctor said you can eat something light and easy to digest, so I brought soups…..
“How is this image so damn familiar?”
Ruben can’t wait to slap himself twice.
“How could I have such bad luck?”
He would always come across the scene where his boss did something intimate with his wife. Ruben felt his career might be coming to an end.
He grabbed the pap in a daze, not knowing whether to enter or retreat.
In the end, it was Umberto who spoke.
-Leave the stuff and go. Don’t go in without my order.
His face was expressionless, his expression did not fluctuate at all, and he was even a little numb.
Reuben hurriedly ran over, put the porridge on the small table beside the bed, and then withdrew.
As he closed the door, he paused, though his expression was hesitant, but still reminded him:
-Well, Mr. Umberto, the doctor said you are still very weak and need to recover, so you can’t have movement… relatively large movements. Don’t get too emotional either. The lady is pregnant, so she needs….
-Out!
Umberto gritted his teeth and glared at him.
Ruben hurriedly closed the living room door and the room finally fell silent.
Albina came out of Umberto’s arms with a red face, looked at his annoyed appearance and suddenly burst out laughing.
-All right, all right, you should get used to this kind of thing. Let’s eat porridge first.
The hospital was full of people, but fortunately, the parents and grandfather went to rest, otherwise they might have gone in themselves.
It’s better to be seen by Ruben than by the elders of the family.
Umberto sighed deeply. Before he could vent his emotions, he was interrupted by Ruben.
He had not eaten all day and was very hungry. Ruben also brought two portions of porridge and the two of them fed each other and finished the two boxes of porridge.
Albina touched her full stomach and sighed.
-I couldn’t eat anything before, and I don’t know why now I didn’t feel sick and uncomfortable, and I ate until I was full.
Umberto finally focused on her lower abdomen and reached out his big hand to touch her belly. But just as he was about to get there, he somehow didn’t dare touch it.
Albina looked at his apprehensive appearance with a smile, and her small hand took his and pressed it on his stomach.
She was wearing a thin hospital gown, and through the clothing, Umberto could feel the soft, warm skin. Her waist was so small he could almost hold her with one hand.
Umberto was surprised.
-With such a slim waist and flat belly, is there really a child inside?
He was a new father and had little contact with pregnant women before, so he couldn’t imagine it. The expression on her face was cute and amused.
Albina looked down and smiled. She touched her stomach with her hand, her face was gentle, as if covered with a layer of light.
-It’s really unbelievable. When I heard this news, I couldn’t believe I had a child in my womb!
Umberto looked at her gentle gaze, a little stunned. He had never seen Albina like this, with a trace of maternal brilliance in her body, gentle and incredible, even more dazzling and beautiful.
But soon, he remembered something and his expression became nervous, and he almost got out of bed.
Albina held him hurriedly and said in disgust:
-What are you going to do? The wound in your back is very deep, you will die!
Umberto could not explain, took her hand and asked nervously:
-Didn’t you say that last month you had your menses? You should have been pregnant last month, how can you menstruate? There must be a problem….
She couldn’t speak and stumbled her tongue nervously.
Albina finally understood why he was excited at this moment and touched his hair with a smile. Then she patiently explained to Umberto.
-Don’t worry, when I was admitted to the hospital, they have already made a detailed examination. The child and I are fine, everything is normal.
Knowing that there was no problem with either her or the child, Umberto breathed a sigh of relief, his large hand still holding her tightly.
As a child, he grew up under his grandfather’s knee, and heard his grandfather talk about his grandmother more than once. His grandmother died early because, when she was pregnant, she was not well cared for.
When Umberto learned that Albina was pregnant, his first reaction was not happiness, but concern and fear.
He was very afraid that Albina would be in the same situation.
Thinking about this, Umberto also unconsciously spoke his mind.
-The children are secondary, as long as you are safe everything is fine. In my heart, you’re much more important than the child….
Before he could finish speaking, Albina hit him on the arm.
Umberto looked at her with an innocent expression.
-What’s wrong?
-You asked me what’s wrong? This is our son, why does he look like a cat or a dog on the road to you?
Albina looked at him sadly, quickly touched her stomach and whispered:
-Baby, your father was talking nonsense just now, but he really likes you very much.
Umberto saw her talking softly to the baby in her belly, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she laughed too. His big hand also touched her lower abdomen, and he said in a husky voice:
-Well, your mother is right, your father likes you very much.
“Although I love your mother more, I still like you.”
***
As soon as Umberto woke up, Grandpa let people post the news before resting, blocking those who chanted the downfall of the Santangel family.
When Jaime heard the news, he trashed his room in anger.
The subordinates who informed him of the news shrugged their heads and dared not say a word.
Since the engagement banquet accident, the live broadcast was temporarily interrupted and the Seco family also tried their best to block the news, but how could they control so many mouths? The affair was still widespread and became the topic of strangers in and out of the circle after tea and dinner time.
Insinuating anecdotes were also made by netizens, and his fame was lost.
Since that incident, Jaime’s temper became visibly more irritable. He was increasingly difficult to control himself, and sometimes he couldn’t help but get angry in front of his grandfather.
-Why didn’t Umberto die? Obviously the knife had been inserted from the back of the heart. How could it be so strong that he hadn’t died yet?
There was a roar in the room, Jaime cursed many dirty words, and it took him a long time to calm down.
His eyes were red and he stared at his men, scaring them.
-Go and contact Saul. Tell him to start the plan.
Even if Umberto’s life is not in danger, it will take time for him to recover. He must take this opportunity to get the piece of land in his hands and stay one step ahead of Umberto.
