Thinking about this, Diana sighed deeply and said:
-Javier, if I don’t have the backing of the Espina family, I’m just an orphan girl that nobody wants and I can’t give you any help.
Javier was distracted for a moment and frowned.
-How can you think like that? Although many families now choose to marry each other, trusting women is nothing, marriage is really a relationship of interest. As long as you have strength and ability, you don’t need to marry, and many companies will come to cooperate with you.
When Diana heard this, her heart turned over and she felt that this was not a good thing.
Javier was honest and frank, and had always been pure, he disdained these things, and she knew she had said the wrong thing.
Diana really loved him and hated him for this.
What she liked was that Javier would not betray her for interests, nor would he dislike her status as his adopted daughter. He loved her for who she was.
But she hated that Javier was too straight and pure. He often had no common ground with her and could not understand her thoughts.
-Don’t worry, I won’t marry her. The person I like is you and the Espina family will not be so unreasonable to force me to break up with you. That would not be marriage but enmity.
Diana bit her lip, the Espina family would not force them to separate, but Hector would do anything for his own sister. Then there was the Romero family, Javier’s filter was too thick and he thought too highly of his family.
If Albina didn’t go home, everything would be balanced, but if she really came back, it would be time for conflict to break out.
Diana thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision.
Whatever happened, she had to hold on tightly to Javier’s heart. As long as he wouldn’t give up on her, she would still have a chance.
Besides, Javier was no longer young, his mother had always hinted at getting married as soon as possible, saying she wanted to have a grandchild.
Diana rolled her eyes and drew circles on her chest with her fingers.
-You’re right, as long as we don’t get engaged, no one can chase us.
Just when Javier was satisfied that she understood, Diana lifted her chin and winked charmingly at him.
-I’m not going home tonight, do you want to join me? I’m a little scared.
He was lost for a moment, but shook his head.
-Don’t be afraid, you can call me and I’ll talk to you all night. Didn’t we agree before? I won’t touch you before we get married.
Diana lowered her head in frustration, feeling a little angry.
Javier was very traditional. She used to like that this man respected her, as the other men used to lust after the ladies’ bodies before marriage, but now it was different, Diana felt uncomfortable when it was still like that.
But she couldn’t express her thoughts directly, so she had to give up.
The place was quiet and the two leaned together, Javier enjoyed the quiet and intimacy, but Diana could not calm down.
Both Bianca and Hector were hiding Albina’s situation and did not allow her to see the photos. They did not reveal any information, and Diana began to guess wildly in her mind.
“Could it be because the lady was trafficked and raised by a poor family for over 20 years? Was she mean and rustic, and they were embarrassed to show her to others, so they hid it from her for fear that she would underestimate their baby?”
Thinking about this, Diana couldn’t help but smile a little smugly.
In these years, although she was an adopted daughter of the Thorn family, she had been raised according to the standards of a serious young woman. While she hadn’t mastered everything, she had also learned a lot. Whether by looks or temperament, she could beat that young lady by a wide margin.
Javier noticed that the person in her arms was having fun and asked curiously:
– Diana, what are you laughing at, are you thinking of something funny? Tell me about it.
Diana also intended to reduce Albina’s impression on Javier’s heart, so she repressed her smile, looked up and blamed him.
-I’m not laughing, I just thought of something!
-What? -Javier asked appreciatively.
Diana made a worried look and sighed.
-The others said that my sister had suffered a lot outside, and after more than 20 years, I don’t know who she was sold to before. It is not known if she was tortured and what she looks like. When I return on Saturday, I will take you home, so when you see her, don’t laugh at her appearance. I’m afraid she will feel inferior.
Javier was distracted for a moment and a fat baby popped into his mind.
At the time, he was five years old and also at the age of remembering things. Past events still appeared clearly in his mind.
Every time she went to the Espina family’s house, the grandmother would hug her granddaughter and ask her to sit in front of her and tease the child.
At the time, Albina was less than a year old, a little fat, and the cutest baby she had ever seen.
Although she was still a baby, her eyes were already very delicate and beautiful, they were also big and black. Her long eyelashes flickered like butterfly wings and she had a sweet smile.
With that base of facial features, she shouldn’t be so ugly when she grew up.
Just looking at Hector and Adrian, you could tell how good the Espina family genes were.
But looking at Diana’s worried look, Javier said nothing about it and nodded solemnly.
-Well, don’t worry, I definitely won’t laugh at her.
Even if she was really ugly, like a big man, it was not good to laugh at the ladies.
Hearing his answer, Diana felt a little uncomfortable.
Her purpose was not to make him really not laugh at her.
Instead of achieving her goal, Diana was angry, but she could only keep her mouth shut and not say anything so as not to be angry with herself.
Time flew and Saturday was approaching.
Before Umberto and Albina went to the airport, Mrs. Santangel reluctantly took Albina’s hand and told her some precautions over and over again.
She wished she could pack her luggage and follow them there.
Albina was touched, and in the end she consoled Mrs. Santangel. Then she turned around and saw that Sergio was asking someone to pack the luggage.
There were several large boxes bulging and there was no telling what they contained.
-Grandpa, I don’t need that much. The Espina family said that they have already prepared what needs to be prepared….
Before Umberto could finish speaking, Sergio interrupted him.
-What do you know? I packed all the things Albina usually uses. She is a pregnant woman, what should I do if she is not used to the things you give her? You just take the gifts, I’ll let others deliver the luggage later. That way you won’t have to carry them yourselves.
Umberto stood to the side speechless as he watched Sergio pull Albina to tell her the contents of the luggage. After listening to him, he noticed that there was nothing of his.
He pretended to be jealous and said:
-Grandfather, am I still your grandson? Why is there nothing of mine in the luggage? What if I can’t get used to the things there?
The old man looked at him blankly.
-You are a man, why are you so delicate? Didn’t you adapt to business trips in the mountains before? Besides, the conditions of the Espina family are not bad. Don’t be so delicate.
Umberto was completely silent.
