-Mr. Diaz?
When the secretary was at a loss, he heard a clear voice behind him.
He focused on the voice suddenly, stretched his body and turned his head. When he saw Umberto’s amber eyes, he was relieved.
He came to get the drug test report he had sent earlier. He specially chose this institution that was located north of the city, far from Alfredo’s house, just to avoid being followed by Jaime.
-Mr. Umberto, are you here? -the secretary smiled at him reluctantly- Are you coming to the north of the city to do business?
Umberto shook his head and carried the bag tightly in his hand.
-No, I bought food for my wife. She has a bad appetite recently and just wants to eat this.
The secretary was silent at his words.
He hadn’t expected such a loving response!
But Umberto didn’t care about her look, he took a look at the sealed bag in his hand and confirmed his assumption, so he waved his hand.
-I saw you from afar, so I came to say hello. How is Mr. Alfredo?
-Still the same,” the secretary answered when something occurred to him, so he wielded the report in his hand and looked at Umberto expectantly.
But Umberto noticed the change in his gesture.
-I have to go, or Albina will cause trouble again.
A desperate look appeared in the secretary’s eyes, he was so distressed that he wanted very much to find someone to vent his emotions. However, this matter was the scandal of the Seco Family, so it could not be easily revealed.
But Umberto was different. First, he did not like to spread gossip. Besides, he also knew all Alfredo’s secrets, so he decided to tell him this affair.
Before Umberto was about to turn away, the secretary quickly said:
-Sir, don’t you wonder why I came to the north of the city?
Umberto furrowed his eyebrows, but his expression remained indifferent.
-I am not interested.
The secretary fell silent again.
How could he be such an indifferent person?
Seeing that Umberto really wasn’t interested, he said directly:
-Mr. Alfredo asked me to send something to test the ingredients a few days ago, and the report came out today.
He was so excited that his cheeks reddened.
-What has been tested was the medicinal herbs bought by Jaime. He said it had the effect of nourishing and protecting the liver, and the doctor at home didn’t find anything harmful either. The chef cooked it according to the instruction, but the report found some ingredient harmful to the liver. The only possibility is that she poisoned the medicine when she took it to Mr. Alfredo, or that the bowl was poisoned.
Either way, it was brutally shocking. No matter what, he was the grandfather who had raised him since he was a child, and who had been the best person to him for over 20 years.
How could Jaime be so cruel to try to kill his grandfather?
Umberto continued listening in silence without changing his gesture. He had guessed all this, but he hadn’t expected Jaime to be able to poison Alfredo knowing that his grandfather learned the truth.
He was a fool, but also very cruel!
Umberto did not answer, but that did not matter to Secretary Diaz. What he wanted was just an interlocutor. He did not dare to mention this matter to his family or accuse him in front of Alfredo for fear of making him sad.
He was so angry that he was about to collapse. He felt a little relieved after complaining freely, but he was still in a bad state.
-I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be complaining to you.
-It’s all right,” Umberto said, looking at him. However, not only Jaime, but also the chef is suspicious, you’d better investigate her too.
The person who poisoned could be Jaime, but it wouldn’t be necessary for him to put himself in danger for everyone to suspect him. If he didn’t do it, the only suspect was the chef.
The secretary was surprised for a moment.
-It’s impossible. He has served the Seco Family for several years. His parents are also Mr. Alfredo’s confidants.
-How old is she? -Umberto asked.
Twenty-five or twenty-six years old,” he answered subconsciously.
Umberto smiled slightly, looking at him seriously.
The secretary suddenly reacted and was surprised.
-You mean…
-It’s just a possibility, but you’ll know the truth if you investigate it yourself,” Umberto touched the bag in his hand. That’s all. The food should be cold. I have to go.
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The secretary stood still. After a long time, he picked up his cell phone and made a call.
When Umberto arrived home, Albina was sitting at the table holding her chin with her hand, and looking in the direction of the door.
When she saw Umberto’s figure, her eyes lit up.
-You’re finally back, I’m starving!
Umberto looked at his watch.
-It’s past lunchtime. You haven’t eaten yet?
He thought Albina couldn’t stay hungry until the shrimp arrived.
She was too greedy!
Albina smiled sweetly at him.
-I didn’t eat lunch. I want to eat with you.
Umberto went to the distant restaurant to buy her the dish, how could she eat before he came back?
Hearing Albina’s words, the servant brought the prepared lunch.
Sergio had eaten it, and there were only the two of them at the table.
Albina looked hopefully at Umberto opening the shrimp he bought.
There were too many for two people, the color was golden and the taste was delicious. Albina couldn’t stop drooling and quickly picked one up. But when she put it in her mouth, she was a little disappointed.
Before she spoke, Umberto said first:
-Sorry, I came back late. The shrimp aren’t crispy enough to rattle.
Albina swallowed the things in her mouth, and replied:
-What do you say? It took you a long time to buy them, how can I complain? I’m fine with shrimp.
Seeing that she was so sensible, Umberto felt a little bad. He thought he should do more so Albina could eat what she wanted.
-I asked the chef for the recipe for this dish. If our chef practices a few times, you’ll eat super crispy shrimp whenever you want.
Looking at Umberto’s serious appearance, Albina threw herself straight and bit her lips.
-Why are you being so nice to me? I always cause trouble…
Umberto hugged her waist so she wouldn’t fall and said seriously:
-You are pregnant. I just want to make you live a more comfortable life and satisfy all your desires. In my opinion, this is not unreasonable at all.
Umberto’s words deeply moved Albina, whose eyes reddened.
Umberto lowered his head to kiss her, and then whispered:
-Eat. Didn’t you say you were hungry?
Albina nodded obediently.
Before the two left, they heard a cough behind them.
Umberto turned his head and discovered that his father was behind the two, holding a cup. Seeing them, he said indifferently:
-Umberto, your grandfather asked you to go to his room.
Umberto nodded when he heard his words.
-Okay, I’m going.
After saying goodbye to Albina, he left with his father. As soon as he was about to go to the old man’s room, he saw Raul beside him coming out of his room.
Raul told them:
-Mr. Sergio has just gone to bed.
Umberto turned his head and looked at his father, as if asking him:
-Didn’t you just say that my grandfather was waiting for me in the room?
Daniel touched his nose and snorted coldly:
-It’s your fault that you showed your love in front of me.
Umberto’s mother was busy with studying, that’s why she fell asleep as soon as she got home. They had not talked much these days. Although they lived in the same room, they had different dreams.
This happened for the first time since they got married.
Daniel missed his wife, so when he saw his son and daughter-in-law kissing, he suddenly envied them.
After hearing her explanation, Umberto looked at him blankly.
The face of a jealous elder was very ugly…..
However, Umberto’s mother was a bit busy those two days. Umberto knew her well, and knew that this woman was a perfectionist and would never give up.
He could only comfort his father.
-Dad, take it easy. I trust you will be able to last two more days.
After saying that, she patted him on his shoulder and walked over to Albina. In front of him, he ate with Albina while hugging her small waist and kissed her a few times feeding her.
Daniel envied them more and more.
