Olivia was at his side. At first she was stunned by Hector’s string of words, and was having a hard time accepting the news. When she was filled with emotion, she heard Hector confess Umberto’s mistake.
Olivia paused for a moment, touching the look Albina gave her, and smiled.
-Umberto is the only one in our family who knows, your father, Sergio and I didn’t know!
Hector heard Olivia’s voice and also defended himself.
-I suddenly got a call from Umberto, he probably knew about my visit to your studio and went to investigate.
After saying that, he remembered how Umberto had stood firm in front of him these days, and added:
-Albina, didn’t Umberto tell you, didn’t he reveal anything? I thought he told you.
His sigh was very significant.
Albina’s face turned completely dark.
Hector paused.
-Albina, since you know and we’re looking forward to your return home, why don’t you talk to Umberto to discuss when you’ll be back? By the way, we also want to give you a party to announce your identity and the fact that Diana is an adopted daughter.
-No need to make such a fuss, I’ll discuss it with Umberto.
Although Albina hated Umberto for keeping this from her, it gave her husband some prestige in front of the others.
-I know you don’t like lively places, but give your parents and me a chance to make peace. The Espina family is not a particularly powerful existence, but it’s not a small family either. Let the others know who you are so they won’t dare bully you at their whim.
Seeing Albina remain silent, Hector added:
-You are now the daughter-in-law of the Santangel family, before there was no family behind you, although the Santangel family members adored you, there were some people who argued behind your back. As long as you are the second lady of the Espina family, no one will dare to discuss the Santangel family and Umberto behind their backs.
Albina thought for a while and then answered:
-Well.
She had always known that there were many people discussed behind her back when she became the daughter-in-law of the Santangel family as a designer. Although those people could not influence her much, she did not want her beloved family to be singled out.
Hector’s face showed a delighted expression when he received her reply.
-Well, when you confirm the time, I’ll tell our parents so they can make the arrangements.
Albina looked at the dream dress in front of her and said:
-I will send you the dress.
Hector was about to let her keep it, but suddenly said:
-Okay, send it back first. It’s not convenient to wear it when you and Umberto come to Jerala City.
When the Espina family organized a banquet, Albina could wear this dress and it would certainly make everyone else’s jaw drop.
After hanging up the phone, Albina still couldn’t believe it.
She got a client, made a dress, had an extra sibling, learned her identity and found her birth parents.
This was truly unbelievable.
Olivia grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of her thoughts.
-Albina, congratulations, you have found your real parents. I met your parents once before, they are both very decent people. I just heard your brother’s tone and I’m sure he loves you very much.
A long time ago, when Daniel was still serving in the Santangel family, she and Daniel had been to Jerala City to do business. They attended banquets and met members of the Espina family.
The man at the head of the Espina family, who was supposed to be Albina’s father, was very handsome and elegant looking, but he had a very serious temperament. He was not easy to approach, but he was a good person.
His wife was a beautiful woman, and had a very elegant and gentle temperament.
Albina looked more like her father, only her face and mouth resembled her mother. They were all handsome.
Albina’s mind was a little fuzzy. Olivia changed quickly, but Albina was a little uncomfortable. When she was on the phone with Hector, she couldn’t call him “brother.”
Just then, footsteps were heard at the door and Umberto walked in, he had his suit on his arm and was wearing only a white shirt, which made him look elegant.
He saw Albina in the living room, and before he could say anything, a smile appeared first on his face.
-Albina, is the dress ready yet? Let me see it.
She rushed over, measuring the dress and nodding uncontrollably.
-It’s a beautiful dress, it will look great on you.
After hearing this, both Albina and Olivia looked at him.
Umberto realized he had said the wrong thing and hurried to say:
-I want to say that this kind of dress suits you very well, and I also want to order one for you.
He almost forgot that he was aware that the dress had been custom-made for Albina by Hector, but she didn’t know that yet.
Umberto still thought it was clever. When he raised his head, he found Olivia standing behind Albina giving him a wink.
But Umberto didn’t understand what she meant.
-Now, mom, don’t wink at her, she can’t understand.
Olivia was a little embarrassed and rubbed her nose.
-Then settle it yourselves, I’m going first.
Before leaving, she added:
-Speak nicely, Albina, be nice. It would be a pity to ruin such a beautiful face, wouldn’t it?
She left quickly after saying this.
Umberto finally sensed something was wrong, pursed his lips and looked cautiously at Albina.
-Albina, what’s wrong? Who has upset my darling?
-Someone has pissed me off, and that person is next to me,” Albina said smiling.
Umberto froze for a moment and looked offended.
-Today I worked at the company all day and spent all my free time thinking about you, when did I ever make you angry?
The anger Albina had gathered dispersed with his words, seeing him approach and try to hug her, she glared at him.
-Just speak! Don’t be immodest, and stay there!
-Okay, I’ll stay still. Albina, you have to let me know what I displeased you.
Umberto stood still, but kept looking at Albina with pity.
-Well, then I’ll let you know what’s wrong.
Albina gave a snort and looked at him with a serious face.
-Hector has confessed that I’m the lost daughter of the Espina family, and that you’ve known it for a long time. What exactly is going on, tell me everything!
