Contemplating Gloria’s wretched figure, Albina and Ariana looked at each other and both couldn’t contain their laughter.
-I guess she won’t dare come to you in the future.
When Ariana doesn’t smile, she seems cold and unapproachable, but when she smiles, she was so beautiful that she made you feel like a spring.
As she pushed Gloria away, it was as if her whole body was released from its burden, and a sense of comfort welled up inside her.
-Yes, I’m finally free of her.
She had dreamed of parting with Gloria since she was a child, and although she hadn’t had much contact with her over the years, the woman was like a ticking time bomb.
Ariana feared that one day this woman would cause no end of problems in her life, and now that the problems had been solved once and for all, she would have no worries in the future.
“Now I can love the guy I like as much as I want, without any inferiority complex.”
-Albina, I want a drink.
Ariana was a little embarrassed. It was a little habit of hers, when she was overwhelmed by sadness and happiness, she would like to have a couple of drinks to calm her emotions.
Albina was aware of this habit of Ariana’s and immediately said:
-I’ll stay with you.
-That’s not right, your belly? -Ariana pointed to Albina’s already pregnant belly with a disapproving expression.
Albina winked at her slyly.
-I only said I’d keep you company, not drink. I’ll just sit next to you and eat, I won’t have a sip of wine,” she said, touching her belly. I said I would treat my baby well, so I have to keep my word.
-Okay, then I’ll find a restaurant that suits you.
-Go ahead, dear, I have a bodyguard here who can take you home later.
As they talked, they decided on the restaurant and headed there immediately.
Ariana, who hadn’t had time to eat after her busy day and was really hungry, ordered quite a few things right away.
Albina ordered drinks for Ariana.
As they ate and chatted, perhaps in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, Ariana got drunk particularly quickly.
Albina looked at the small amount of wine left and was filled with bewilderment. Ariana was drunk today before she had drunk her usual amount and it seemed that she was happier than she looked.
-Madam, would you like to take Miss Ariana home?
Albina looked at Ariana and was amused to see her cheeks flushed and laughing at herself. It was a total change from her usual cool and regal appearance.
-Well, good thing I’ve had enough of taking her home.
She said standing up and taking Ariana’s hand, then added in a soft voice:
-Ariana, shall we go home?
Ariana looked at her sweetly and nodded.
-Yes, let’s go.
She was no longer conscious, but seemed to remember that Albina was pregnant, and was obediently led to the car.
Even sitting in the seat she was calm.
The car soon arrived and Albina was left alone to carry her upstairs.
When she reached the door, she happened to see Macos hurrying out the front door.
-What are you going to do? -Albina asked as she lifted Ariana up.
Macos looked at the two women and froze.
-I called Ariana and no one answered, I called the hospital and found out that Dante had died and Ariana was alone with that mother of his and I feared something had happened to her.
He finished briefly and looked at Ariana’s flushed face and hurried to pick her up.
-Why is she so drunk, did that woman really molest her?
When he uttered the last sentence, Macos was full of hostility, as if he was about to roll up his sleeves and go to war the next moment.
Satisfied with this demeanor, Albina briefly reviewed the day’s events:
-Since you’re home, Ariana is all yours. My Umberto is going to worry if I’m gone too long.
She finished by looking at Ariana, who was not quite conscious and clinging to Macos, and then at Macos’ scowl.
-Ariana is drunk now, don’t take advantage of her. If I find out you’re stalking her, I won’t leave you alone.
Macos’ cheeks flushed with embarrassment and anger.
-What do you think I am? Of course I wouldn’t do it. I have a reputation for being a decent man.
Albina looked him up and down.
-Okay, I’ll leave it in your hands. I’m going first.
After saying this, she waved to him and headed for the elevator.
Macos hadn’t given it much thought, but simply had feelings for Ariana. When he was interrupted by Albina, he looked down slightly and saw the red lips of the woman in his arms.
It looked wet in the light and was a little….
As soon as the thought came to him, he shook his head.
-No, no, I can’t take advantage of someone.
He had to restrain himself, if he really hurt Ariana, he would be in for a rude awakening when she came to. He couldn’t afford to lose the girlfriend he had gotten.
Macos took a deep breath, and without a second thought, pulled the keys out of his pocket to unlock the door.
The summer clothes were so light that, as he pulled the keys out of his pocket, it was inevitable that they would accidentally touch Ariana’s body, and as he pulled them out, Macos broke out in cold sweats.
The door to the room opened and the interior layout looked familiar to Macos, who led Ariana straight into her bedroom, carefully removed her shoes and ran to the bathroom for a basin of hot water.
After scrubbing her cheeks and arms, Macos felt a little hesitant as he gazed at her calm, sleeping face.
“It’s still pretty hot, I should rub her body.”
He thought, and his eyes involuntarily drifted to her cleavage.
Ariana is wearing a pale green shirt, which set off her porcelain-like skin, and she wore her collar unbuttoned by two buttons, exposing a delicate, beautiful collarbone that rose and fell with her breathing.
He was inexplicably handsome. Macos’ eyes instantly wandered and a small lump rose in his throat.
She couldn’t help but move closer and closer, her head was getting closer and closer to touching his neck as Macos backed up a step.
Due to the hasty movement, his feet didn’t hold steady and he fell to the ground.
He breathed unconsciously.
The shock woke Ariana, her once clear eyes misted with water, as silly and innocent as a lost kitten.
Ariana sat up from the bed and tilted her head to look at the man in her room.
She wasn’t very aware, as if she didn’t know Macos.
Macos had forgotten to get up from the floor and fixed his eyes on Ariana.
-Are you awake? I’m sorry, I moved too much.
He looked into Ariana’s simple, clear eyes and felt strange, mentally cursing himself for being a beast and how he could have thoughts like that.
As he reflected on himself, he didn’t notice Ariana moving.
Ariana got off the bed and crawled in his direction, sitting directly on his waist before Macos could react.
