The smile on Umberto’s face had not fully spread when he heard Angelina’s voice coming from the cell phone.
-Albina, since your baby’s condition is stable, why don’t we go shopping? You’ve been cooped up at home for too long and so have I. How about we go spend some great time together? We can go to the maternity stores and see if there are any nice clothes.
Hearing the words, Albina’s eyes lit up, but when she saw Umberto’s unkind look, she pretended to be hesitating and said:
-I see, let me think…..
As he answered with reserve, he glanced at the man next to him, he looked pitiful.
The most he could not bear was this expression of hers, so he could only nod with a cold face.
Instantly, a smile of surprise appeared on her face, as if a flower bud was blooming. She looked very beautiful.
-Okay, I’ll get ready now and leave in a little while.
-Okay, I’ll send my driver to pick you up, then we can go get Ariana! -Angelina took this decision directly and hung up the call in a hurry.
Albina put away her cell phone, looked at Umberto’s ugly expression, straightened up, held the man’s cheek between her fingers and said in a tender tone:
-Love, stay at home and wait for me to come back. When I come back, I promise we will have a nice time.
After speaking, she kissed him hard on the lips.
You could see a lot of resentment in the expression on Umberto’s face, but thanks to this kiss and what awaited him when she returned, he reluctantly nodded his head.
He raised his hand and glanced at his watch.
-Well, come back as soon as possible, don’t keep me waiting too late.
Usually Umberto usually had a vigorous, domineering and indifferent expression, but this time he showed a pitiful expression like a puppy, she felt somewhat sorry for him. She didn’t even want to go out with Angelina anymore, she just wanted to stay and spend a nice time with him.
But when she remembered that it had already been a long time without seeing Angelina and Ariana, she nodded her head pitifully,
-I’ll try to come back as soon as possible.
He sighed inwardly, his seduction plan failed, it seemed he still had something to learn. In his heart, he promised himself that next time he would seduce her successfully.
Albina went upstairs to change her clothes, it occurred to her to put on her makeup and she did so.
With the fact that she had rested very well for the past few days, her complexion was very good, her skin was very delicate and white, and happiness and vitality could be seen between her eyebrows. After applying her makeup, the woman in the mirror looked as beautiful as a goddess.
She nodded with satisfaction and went downstairs with her small bag.
She was four months pregnant, and her abdomen had a slight bulge, so she wore a loose fitting skirt to cover the bulge, while showing off her slender arms and long legs. You couldn’t tell she was pregnant.
Umberto was sitting on the couch reading a magazine. When he heard the sound, he raised his head and saw his wife coming down the stairs looking beautiful. He immediately put the magazine down in his hand and walked over to support her.
As he held it, he looked her up and down in detail, noticed her exquisite makeup, hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:
-How about if I come with you?
He was worried about letting his beautiful wife go out alone.
She laughed and gave him a little push on his arm.
-Don’t be funny, it’s a girls’ party. It would be really weird if you went.
It would be kind of unfair if someone would bring her husband to a girl’s party.
Seeing her persistence, he could only give up this idea.
When Angelina arrived, she saw that Albina and Umberto were standing in the doorway of the Santangel family home.
One of them was tall and handsome, and the other was petite and beautiful. They were really striking. Angelina was impressed for a while and, after getting out of the car, she turned to Albina to give her admirations.
She was fascinated by people with beautiful appearances. Besides, she had not seen Albina in a long time. This time, when he saw her, his gaze was fixed on her the whole time. It wasn’t until she felt a cold stare that she came to herself, shrugged her neck and raised her head to meet Umberto’s hostile eyes.
It was then that she remembered that he was a super jealous man, immediately her behaviors became normal. After greeting him in a friendly manner, she opened the car door hurriedly so Albina could get into the car.
Albina smiled and waved her hand towards Umberto before getting into the car, and the next second, Angelina got in quickly, with a bit of urgency.
-There’s no hurry, we still have time, now let’s go to Ariana’s school and then go shopping together.
As she gave the driver an order, she answered Albina:
-I’m not in a hurry, I’m just afraid that if I stay a little longer, your husband will tear me apart.
-Don’t exaggerate -Albina laughed lightly, she defended him for her husband-, although Umberto seems a bit scary, he has a very gentle personality. He is a man with a good heart, but serious.
Angelina was speechless.
“Your husband is as warm as the spring breeze when he deals with you, but he is as cold as wind coming from the far north when he deals with other people.”
She looked back through the car window and saw that Umberto was still standing in the doorway and, as the car drove away, only a tiny black dot remained.
As if it were a tiny stone.
But Angelina was so envious, she was so eager to enjoy sweet love and to marry a man who loved her with all his heart.
The two chatted the whole trip, and it didn’t take long for the car to arrive at the school gate.
Albina looked at the clock and said:
-Ariana went on a trip a while ago. She just came back these two days. Today she only has a half-day class, and she should be finishing up from class. I’ll call her now.
Angelina nodded her head, looked around, watching the students coming in and out of the campus.
All the students at the Academy of Fine Arts had a certain temperament and had very good taste about aesthetics, they dressed well and looked very attractive. It was a fair for someone like her.
Albina dialed Ariana’s phone number, lowered her head and kicked the stones under her feet.
The call connected quickly, but no one answered.
She frowned.
“What’s going on? Ariana always answers her calls right away, could it be that she’s working?”
Generally, when Ariana was drawing, she didn’t carry her cell phone, or she put her cell phone on silent mode. However, before arriving at her school, Albina had texted her to let her know, plus Ariana had texted her back saying she would be waiting for them at the school gate.
Just as she was about to make another call, Angelina suddenly pulled her arm.
-Look, Albina, isn’t that person Ariana?
Albina looked in the direction she pointed, saw that in the school cafeteria near the window, Ariana was sitting there and across from her sat an older lady.
-Who is she talking to? Is she a teacher at the school?
Angelina asked curiously.
Albina’s gaze darkened, with a trace of solemnity.
Her eyesight was very good, she could clearly see who the woman in front of Ariana was, who had a face she could never forget.
That woman was Ariana’s mother.
When Ariana was in school, her mother had come to her school to cause a lot of trouble. She would embarrass Ariana in public, forcing her to hand over her grandmother’s inheritance and trying to steal her tuition money.
Although many years had passed, and that woman had aged a lot, the facial features remained the same. She looked even more evil.
Albina clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth and said:
-How dare she come looking for Ariana, what a bitch!
-Do you know her? -Angelina looked at her and asked.
Albina nodded her head and said:
-She is Ariana’s mother -No! She is only her biological mother, she doesn’t deserve to be her mother, she has failed in every way.
Earlier, Marcos had told her that it seemed that Ariana’s mother had come looking for her, but, to avoid being taken advantage of, Ariana had left here under the pretext of going on a business trip. However, I did not expect this woman to be so persistent, and to be waiting for her here.
What was this woman coming for?
Albina grabbed Angelina’s arm, they made their way to the cafeteria in anguish, as she briefly told her of this woman’s unfortunate deeds.
Angelina had always been an upright person, so her eyes immediately widened and she became angry.
-Come on, let’s settle this bitch!
