Albina thought it was funny, she also felt helpless, and didn’t know what to say.
-It’s Ruben who bought all this, he has no sense of proportion in his purchases, next time I won’t let him buy so much.
Umberto blamed Ruben with a serious face, without admitting that it was his order.
He looked at Ariana had a smile, and suddenly said:
-It doesn’t matter if we can’t use it all, our friends will always be able to get married and have children, so things are enough.
Umberto felt that, with Macos’ eagerness to get a marriage certificate immediately, Macos and Ariana would have a baby soon.
Ariana’s cheeks flushed as she reacted to what Umberto had said, and she picked up Albina without responding to Umberto.
-You haven’t had breakfast, have you? Let’s eat together.
Albina took his hand and led her out into the courtyard intimately.
Umberto saw how Albina valued her friend more than her husband, forgetting him completely, shook his head helplessly and followed her.
They were quietly enjoying breakfast when suddenly Albina’s phone rang frantically.
Everyone present focused on him.
-It’s Macos,” Albina looked at Ariana, “How strange, what’s he doing calling me now?
Then he answered the phone.
Macos’ nervous voice came through the receiver.
-My God, Albina has run away again! I just knocked on her door and she didn’t answer. I knocked on the door for a long time and noticed that the house was quiet. Yesterday she said yes to my confession and became my girlfriend, did she change her mind after waking up?
Macos’ voice was full of fear. It should have been a tense and stagnant atmosphere, but Albina looked at Ariana sitting quietly next to him and felt inexplicably amused.
-I think you should call Ariana and ask her.
-I tried and she didn’t answer, did she block me again? What should I do? My efforts were in vain and I lost my girlfriend. Why is all this happening to me?
Ariana took her cell phone out of her pocket and realized that she had had a little insomnia last night and had put it on silent to fall asleep quickly and had forgotten to turn it back on.
-I’ve made him breakfast and he hasn’t eaten yet, where do you think he can go? Other men aren’t as handsome or as sweet as I am,” Macos rambled dazedly.
Albina was about to burst out laughing but she held it in. Umberto was smiling too.
Sergio, Daniel and Olivia also flashed a smile, thinking the boy was quite funny.
Only Ariana felt embarrassed and her face was red, she even wanted to disappear on the spot.
She felt ashamed of her man, even he caused a scandal in front of the Santangel family!
Albina coughed slightly to hide the laughter and said:
-Ariana never starved to death before she met you.
-Now it’s different. Ariana already usually eats food made by me and she doesn’t even want to eat food from outside.
Just when Albina felt that Macos was being conceited, Macos added:
-After all, my food is full of love.
Finally, Ariana was so embarrassed that she couldn’t let Macos say more, and hurriedly picked up Albina’s phone and said:
-Ya, Macos, I’m at the Santangel family’s house. We’re having breakfast, and I haven’t run away. It’s just that I forgot to tell you, and my phone was on silent, it’s not like I blocked you.
She explained a lot of things quickly, if she hadn’t, Macos would have even thought she had been taken away by aliens.
Macos froze for a moment at the sound of her voice, then his eyes sparkled.
-Are you at the Santangel family’s house?
-Yes, we’re having breakfast.
Ariana’s voice softened unconsciously.
It was no wonder Macos was scared like that, she had disappeared in the morning just a few days before.
-Okay, I’ll be right there to pick you up.
Hearing his anxious reply, there was the sound of him opening and closing the door and his hurried footsteps, Ariana was filled with helplessness.
-No, I’ll come back myself later.
-It’s better if I pick you up, the location of the Santangel family’s house is not easy to take a cab -insisted Macos.
Ariana could only nod helplessly.
-Okay, then drive carefully.
Hearing these words, Macos smiled happily.
-Okay.
After hanging up the phone, Ariana noticed that Albina was looking at her with amusement.
-She can’t do without you.
Ariana’s cheeks flushed and she was embarrassed to look at the progenitors of the Santangel family.
-We just got together and he worries about me.
Olivia saw that Albina was about to speak and hurried to give her a shrimp to eat.
-When you’ve just been together, boyfriends are like that. When I was dating your father-in-law in the beginning, he was clingy with me too.
Umberto and Albina looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
But it wasn’t just in the beginning, now too.
Without waiting for Olivia to mention it, Daniel coughed self-consciously.
-I’m done eating, take your time.
After saying that, he pulled Olivia, who still wanted to talk about Daniel, away from the table.
Sergio did not want to participate in the young people’s conversation, so Alonso accompanied him for a walk.
Macos arrived at the Santangel family’s house quickly, without taking half an hour. Only when he saw that Ariana was really there, he was totally relieved.
-Is there any breakfast left? Give me one, I’m starving.
Seeing that the table had not yet been cleared, he hurried to sit next to Ariana. He was breathing rapidly, which showed the haste with which he had just come.
Albina laughingly asked for food to be served as she gave up her place and sat across from them both with Umberto.
-You scared yourself like that. Macos, you are no longer the person I knew.
Albina watched Macos, who was sitting across from her, devour her food, and believed that his current image had nothing to do with her first impression of him.
The first time she had seen Macos was when Mrs. Leoz had recommended her for an interview. At the time, Macos was handsome, cheerful, self-confident, elegant and intelligent. Looking at him, she thought the company had promise under his leadership.
But now, after getting to know him well, apart from his handsome face, he was like a goofball.
Macos swallowed his food, looked at the two sitting across from him, and suddenly said:
-You don’t understand, you are married for many years, and you don’t know the feelings between bride and groom who have just been together. Worry and fear, but also excitement and happiness. Love is like candy, it is sour and sweet mixed with bitter…..
Albina listened to his pretentious words and showed an expression of disgust.
-Lately my reactions during pregnancy have weakened, and I don’t even feel disgust when I eat seafood. But Macos, you have managed to disgust me.
Ariana listened to them with a smile and saw the crumbs on the corner of Macos’ lips, so she unconsciously took a napkin and wiped them off.
Only after wiping them off, he reacted with his movement. They both looked at each other and looked away shyly.
The bittersweet taste of love….
Albina watched them with an expressionless face, and tasted that flavor as well.
Albina lifted her chin and said to Umberto:
-I also need to wipe my mouth.
Seeing her childish gesture, Umberto cooperated, took a napkin and wiped her mouth before lowering his head and kissing her.
-Good, it’s clean now.
