Umberto cautiously approached Albina’s stomach and her cheek touched him gently through the layer of clothing.
The whole Santangel family watched his facial expression for a few seconds longer. They had never seen him like this.
He was surprised, curious and wary, like a child who received an ever-awaited gift.
The doctor had already left, and the whole Santangel family was gathered around these new parents, looking at their curious and surprised expressions, but they were all smiling.
It was a rare and silly expression that Umberto had never had even as a child.
And Albina’s pretty face was full of pure joy. She looked very pretty and amused.
Olivia quietly picked up her phone and took a picture of the two of them, capturing their current appearance.
Later she would print the photo and show it to her future grandson or granddaughter.
Umberto and Albina were unaware that their silly expressions had been caught on camera and tried to get the baby to move once again.
But the baby did not cooperate with them and the belly did not move at all.
Umberto frowned. It seemed useless to get the baby to move, so he would have to wait for the next time. The doctor said the baby would move more and more often, so next time he wouldn’t be surprised by the lack of common sense.
Just as he was about to move his cheek, he suddenly felt something move under his cheek.
Umberto froze.
-Looks like the baby is docile and gives his daddy a little kick.
Olivia joked with Umberto and Albina was amused.
Umberto sat back down on the couch with slightly flushed cheeks.
-How do you know it’s a little foot?
Maybe it was the fleshy little hands.
But it was a wonderful feeling. Albina was pregnant with her baby, who had her blood and Albina’s, knew how to move now and would be born in no time.
And when he was older, she would call him daddy.
As he thought, Umberto’s heart warmed with indescribable feelings. It was wonderful, and he loved it.
-I… I have something to do.
After he spoke, he walked up the stairs to the study a little nervously. Her back was stiff, her ears were red, and she didn’t even know where to put her hands.
Olivia approached Albina and smiled.
-He must be so excited right now.
-I know.
Albina nodded and touched her belly, remembering Umberto’s reaction a moment ago, and couldn’t help but laugh.
This newbie father seemed pretty cute.
Once Umberto was in the study, he sat in his chair for a few minutes before picking up the phone in his hand and calling Ruben.
-President Umberto?
Ruben was stunned for a moment as he received Umberto’s call, and answered in bewilderment.
Umberto handed him the job earnestly and Ruben listened with confusion, feeling even stranger.
It was rare for President Umberto to speak again about the tasks he had briefed him on.
Only when Umberto finished saying the job, he coughed oddly and asked:
-Ruben, what brands of products for mothers and babies are best? Tell me all about it.
Ruben became serious.
-Do you want to go into the maternity products industry?
Umberto froze for a moment and shook his head.
-No, I want to buy things for Albina and the baby.
Ruben was speechless.
President Umberto really showed him the enviable love since he got married.
-President Umberto, I don’t think you should ask me.
Ruben’s voice sounded miserable, but the boss’s words could not go unanswered.
-I don’t even have a girlfriend, so how am I supposed to know which brands work well?
Umberto froze for a moment and said:
-Yes, the truth is that I didn’t ask the right person, what’s the point of asking a bachelor like you?
Ruben felt as if another knife had been plunged into his heart. It wasn’t easy being Umberto’s assistant, and it was even harder to be one after he got married.
-Although I don’t know which products are good, I can research and collect customer reviews of various brands and choose the best ones.
He was single, but he had his uses.
-Buy them directly after doing some research,” Umberto ordered in a cold voice.
Ruben nodded his head, noticed that Umberto had not yet hung up the phone, and his eyes were full of doubts.
In the past, President Umberto would end the call immediately after saying his tasks, not even a second longer, but today it was really unusual.
-Do you have anything else to order?
After a few seconds, Umberto finally said:
-I think it’s a good idea you had earlier.
“The idea? What idea?”
Ruben looked confused, had he just mentioned some good idea?
-We don’t really have a subsidiary in the Santangel Group that manufactures products for mothers and babies, then we can consider it.
Umberto’s voice was serious.
During the time he had been taking care of Albina, he had discovered that being pregnant was very hard for a woman, as there were so many things to take care of, and so many little neglected details could cause damage to a mother in the future.
Albina was only four months pregnant and the days ahead would be even harder. The baby was so fragile that the products used had to be carefully selected so that they could be used with peace of mind.
There were many types of products for mother and baby on the market today, many of which contained hidden safety risks, so it was easy to choose the wrong ones.
-That the Santangel family’s research and development team researched mother and baby products well.
Although the initial intention was for Albina and her baby, it would be good to benefit other mothers and babies.
Albina had no idea about this call between Umberto and Ruben.
First thing the next morning, Ariana went to the Santangel family home to visit Albina and saw several cars parked in front of the mansion. Workers were unloading goods to move them to the house.
There were many boxes of things and she didn’t know what they were.
He was filled with confusion when he happened to see Albina and Umberto returning from their walk.
-Albina, what are they doing here?
Albina shook her head, with the same puzzled look.
-Storing things?
Umberto glanced at his phone and on it was a message from Ruben.
-He’s bought the stuff so fast. He’s efficient.
They both looked at Umberto as they heard him speak.
-What are they? They look like a lot of things, since they fill several vans.
Albina looked at the boxes and shuddered at the thought of the large boxes that were still sitting in the loft and were currently no longer in use.
It couldn’t be that again, she and Umberto couldn’t use it now, would Daniel and Olivia use it?
Was it a Santangel family tradition? The conscience of protection was really strong!
Umberto saw her flinch a little, knew Albina was imagining nonsense again, and tapped her on the head.
-It’s not what you’re thinking, they’re something I bought for you and our baby.
-That much?
Albina and Ariana screamed at the same time.
They thought that the things they had bought in the last purchase were already enough, but they didn’t expect rich men to make exaggerated purchases. Umberto bought a few cars worth of stuff!
-This is too exaggerated, I only have one baby. You’ve bought so many things that even your future generations could use them!
