The three of them left the cafeteria and went shopping happily.
The mall wasn’t too far from Ariana’s school, and basically anything they needed could be found. These three girls went out together, and it didn’t take them long to buy a lot of things, especially the mother and baby products. Albina didn’t buy much, but as for the other two girls, they were much more excited when they saw the long baby pajamas and couldn’t stop praising how cute they were.
Seeing them like this, Albina almost wanted to say that if they really loved babies so much, why didn’t they get married soon and have babies of their own?
When they were finally getting ready to leave the mall, since most of them were baby products, they asked the mall people to send them to the Santangel family home.
-Would you like to get something to eat? I’ve been told by my colleagues that there is a delicious new restaurant nearby,” with a smile on her face, Angelina said to the two girls.
-I’m afraid we can’t,” Ariana replied with a slight smile, pointing outside through the window.
Angelina looked in the direction she pointed, she saw that a black car was parked at the side of the race, and most striking was the tall man beside the car.
Her expression changed abruptly, she said to Albina in a resentful voice:
-Albina, why is your husband so clingy? We haven’t finished yet, but he’s already come to pick you up.
It had only been a few hours.
Ariana looked at her with a smile.
-She’s pregnant, it’s logical that Mr. Umberto is worried about her.
Albina looked at the man at the door, her expression changed to a helpless one, she knew better than the two of them. The reason why he came was not limited to concern, but was also the promise she had given him.
It seemed that Umberto noticed the looks of the three of them, he turned his head, his gaze met Albina’s, and a curve appeared at the corners of his lips.
When he wasn’t smiling, his face was cold and distant, as if covered in ice and snow, which made people afraid to approach him, but when he smiled, it seemed that the ice and snow had melted and he looked very beautiful.
Seeing this image, Angelina sighed, she was in awe.
-Mother mine, Albina, look at the smile and the deep look he has when he sees you? He’s totally in love with you!
Albina got a little embarrassed, she gave Angelina a little push.
-Oh, don’t talk nonsense.
Just as Umberto was about to walk towards her, suddenly a girl appeared in front of him.
She was a tall girl, with very good fashion taste. If you looked from her back, she should be a beautiful girl. It was not known what she was talking about with Umberto.
-Oops, your husband is being held by a girl, is he asking for her WhatsApp?
After she finished talking, Angelina turned her head, she saw that although Albina still kept the same smile, but her expression was already cold. In the next second, Albina walked straight to the door.
-What a fighter! -Angelina shuddered.
Ariana laughed, grabbed Angelina’s arm and followed Albina.
Now another girl was chatting with her man, obviously needing to mark her territory.
As she walked outside, she murmured:
-This Umberto, what’s the use of his attractive appearance? He hasn’t done anything, he just stands there, and he’s already attracted other girls.
Angelina followed her and exchanged a glance with Ariana, with a helpless expression.
“What right do you have to criticize Umberto? You two are from the same group of people, you both have a seductive face.”
Ariana was also left thinking.
“Albina, you are worse than Umberto, because you also attract women, haven’t you seen Angelina’s face when she sees you?”
As the three approached, they heard the girl ask for Umberto’s contact information.
But the man’s answer was very cold.
– “I don’t have WhatsApp. I don’t use a cell phone either. I don’t have a phone number. You are blocking my way. Excuse me, give way.
-But I saw you had a cell phone,” the girl’s voice was very cute.
The expression on Umberto’s face remained indifferent.
-It’s not a cell phone, it’s just a model.
Albina, who was standing to the side, overheard the conversation and laughed.
That girl was already embarrassed by the man’s answer, but when she heard the laughter coming from behind her, she turned around and saw that there were three girls, her cheeks immediately blushed.
-Sorry, I didn’t laugh on purpose – seeing their embarrassed expression, Albina hurried to explain herself earnestly.
She really didn’t intend to make fun of this girl, simply Umberto’s words made her laugh.
As soon as he saw his wife, Umberto’s expression softened, he approached her in two strides, took the small bag she held in her hand and stroked her arm lovingly.
-I’m sure you’re exhausted from shopping. Let’s go home. The food is ready, they prepared the prawns just the way you like them.
There was a big difference between this gentle attitude and the cold attitude from before.
It was then when that poor girl realized that this man was married to the other one, and quickly covered her reddened face and ran away from here.
Albina looked at Umberto, and said with a smile:
-Why have you not been kind to this girl, how cold you have been!
Although her words were these, one could see an innocuous laugh on her face.
Umberto’s voice carried a touch of mirth.
-If it were really so, would you feel happy?
Albina snorted.
-It depends on my mood.
Angelina and Ariana, who were next to her, were so envious.
-Albina, since they’re waiting for you to eat, you’d better go home. We want to stay a little longer.
Albina heard Ariana’s words, felt a little guilty, and said:
-Why aren’t you going to eat with us? After dinner, I’ll send someone to send you home.
They both shook their heads at the same time, and said:
-Please, there is no need. We have already decided what to eat. Don’t worry about it.
The two of them didn’t want to be extra.
Albina saw that they both refused, and had no choice but to say goodbye to them.
Umberto helped her into the car, nodded to the two, got in and drove off.
-Although Albina is overprotected, she is very happy -seeing the car disappearing, Angelina sighed.
Ariana nodded her head.
If it were someone else, perhaps she would feel too controlled by the man. In Albina’s case, just like Ariana, after her family’s accident, she always lacked security in her heart.
When it came to choosing their life partner, they would unconsciously prefer this kind of man who cared about them, loved them and knew how to express his love.
Umberto and Albina were a fated couple.
-Let’s eat,” Angelina took Ariana by the arm. Now it’s just the two of us single girls. Let’s have a good time.
Ariana looked at her and suddenly said:
-Can you accompany me to the bar? I’m not in a good mood.
Angelina was surprised for a second, but instantly understood that she was still bothered by what had happened in the cafeteria. Before, when they were at the mall, in order not to make Albina worry, she would repress her feelings and pretend as if she didn’t care.
But no matter how much she hated that woman, she was her mother anyway. Her birth mother forced her to donate a kidney to her other son and tried to ruin her reputation in front of so many people. What had happened to her was very heavy for anyone.
Angelina’s parents were always very loving to her, so she had never imagined that a mother could be so cruel to her daughter.
Ariana, although she was very persistent and strong, was a human being, it hurt and hurt her.
-Okay. I’ve just spent too much time shutting myself up at home, I haven’t been to the bar for a long time. I didn’t know how to tell you, because you and Albina don’t look like girls who go to the bar,” Angelina touched her hair and smiled in an amused way.
Seeing her smile, Ariana felt less distressed. The two of them didn’t know each other very well yet, it was Albina who introduced them.
It was no wonder Albina had a good relationship with her. Her personality was very pleasant, and she felt no pressure when dealing with her.
Ariana considered herself to be able to drink a lot herself, but no one could stand to drink one glass after another.
Angelina tried to persuade her to drink less, but was unsuccessful, so she stopped drinking and sat by her side to look after her. She feared that if she herself was also drunk, in case they met someone with bad intentions, the two of them would be in trouble.
Ariana’s cheeks were flushed, her body radiated an odor of alcohol, and she began to cry as she drank.
-It’s been so many years, but he still won’t leave me alone. If he doesn’t want to recognize me as his daughter, he should have abandoned me from the beginning. After so many years, he suddenly came looking for me to force me to donate a kidney to that bastard?
She was crying and laughing at the same time, she looked so sad, she made others feel sorry for her.
-I am a human being, I am not his kidney source, why do I have to donate a kidney to him?
Hearing her words, Angelina became a little sad and tried to comfort her.
-Ariana, don’t drink anymore. It’s not good for your body.
Ariana laughed coldly, she said:
-I want to harm my body, so they can’t force me to donate my kidney.
After speaking, she took the glass and drank it all.
