Seeing Umberto’s resentful expression, Albina covered her mouth and smiled. Her heart was warm.
The Santangel family really did consider her a relative and loved her dearly.
The two finally boarded the plane, Umberto was more cautious than Albina throughout the process. He asked her if she felt uncomfortable after a while and looked after her very carefully.
Albina felt a little uncomfortable, but under Umberto’s meticulous care, her discomfort improved a lot.
She was in a good mood until she got off the plane.
Hector was waiting at the airport early in the morning. When he came to pick them up, his parents wanted to follow him, but Hector was worried that Albina would get nervous if she saw the two of them directly, so he tried to persuade them to desist.
He was looking around at the moment, waiting for his younger sister and brother-in-law to arrive.
As the stream of people came out, Hector’s eyes lit up and he finally saw the two people he was waiting for.
Umberto held something in one hand, supported Albina’s waist with the other, and stepped gingerly out. The two of them looked very conspicuous in the crowd of passengers.
Hector hurriedly ran up to the two, his voice trembling with excitement.
-Albina, you’re finally here.
She was originally a very calm person, but now her eyes were red and tears of emotion were about to well up.
After more than twenty years, finally her sister was coming home.
Albina looked at the excited and bewildered Hector, and her heart softened. Somehow, when she saw him, the title she could not say before came to her lips, and she said it naturally.
-Brother.
This word made Hector stand stunned in his place. He thought it would take his sister a long time to get used to calling him that way, but he hadn’t expected to hear her say “brother” so soon.
His eyes were moist, he pursed his lips and took a long time to utter a sound.
-Yes.
After that answer, they both looked at each other and laughed.
Umberto, who had been ignored all this time, coughed slightly and caught the two’s attention. Then he extended a hand toward Hector with a smile.
-Hello, I am Albina’s husband, Umberto.
The two had not yet formally met, and had communicated mostly by phone before, so this was the first face-to-face communication.
When Hector saw her face, he remembered how she was talking on the phone earlier. He had a very attractive face, but Hector didn’t like it no matter how he looked at it.
With a simple word of assent, he released him, stepped between the two of them and pushed Umberto away. And when he leaned against Albina, he spoke cautiously.
-Albina, our parents are waiting for you at home. They have prepared many of your favorite dishes for your return.
Albina turned her head to look back and said worriedly:
-Umberto hasn’t caught up with us yet.
Hector turned his head impatiently.
-Umberto, didn’t you hear Albina’s words? Follow us quickly, why does a man walk so slowly?
Umberto gritted his teeth and his expression was tense.
This was obviously revenge. Before she had done everything she could to please him on the phone, but now she had changed completely.
But he still had to endure this anger.
He had made Albina decide to acknowledge them, so Hector was her brother-in-law now. If he didn’t please this person, he could talk nonsense in front of his in-laws later.
Umberto took a deep breath and forced a stiff smile.
-I’m coming.
Seeing her aggrieved appearance, Hector instantly raised his eyebrows. His heart was full of comfort, he lowered his head and said to Albina:
-Albina, you are still very young, why did you marry without thinking about it? You still have plenty of time to choose a husband carefully. This is something for a lifetime, so you can’t choose him lightly, or else you will regret it in the future.
Umberto walked to Albina’s other side and looked at Hector when he heard this.
Hector looked back at him reluctantly, and the two began a battle over Albina’s head. It even looked as if sparks were about to fly.
Albina smiled and a small dimple appeared in her tender cheeks.
-I think Umberto is very good, he loves me and takes good care of me.
Umberto puffed out his chest when he heard her words and made a proud look.
Hector’s face was stagnant.
-Just because he’s good now doesn’t mean he’ll be good in the future. You may know the man’s face, but you don’t know his mind…..
Before he could finish the words, Umberto interrupted him.
-You’re a man too, so it’s not worth it to scold you just to hurt me.
Hector paused for a moment, then looked at Albina.
-I’m different, I’m a good man.
Umberto was speechless.
Why hadn’t he realized that Hector was so shameless before?
On the road, Hector assumed the attitude of an annoying brother-in-law and only held back a little when he reached the door of his house.
When he got out of the car, he saw a familiar car parked at the door, saw the license plate number and his expression changed.
Albina was helped out of the car by Umberto, just in time to see the disgust on his face, and asked in confusion:
-Hector, what’s wrong?
Hector immediately hid the ferocity on his face and smiled softly at her.
-It’s nothing. Come on, Albina, let’s go inside the house.
As he drew Albina to the door, he deliberately stepped back and said to Umberto:
-The adopted daughter brought her fiance too.
-Is there a problem? -Umberto looked puzzled.
Hector snorted and looked at him.
-That man originally had a marriage contract with Albina, what do you think is the problem?
Umberto’s face darkened instantly.
Hector nodded with satisfaction and quickly ran to Albina’s side, his expression softening again.
-Don’t worry, Albina, our parents are very kind. They’ve been waiting for you to come home for a long time.
Right now, in the living room.
Bianca paced back and forth across the living room in high heels and kept looking at the door.
-Why aren’t they coming? Didn’t they say they were coming soon?
Adrian watched her and his eyes were almost dizzy.
-Mom, don’t walk anymore. How many times have you turned around? They’ll come back when they have to. You’re giving me a headache.
After she finished speaking, she turned to her father and said:
-Dad, tell Mom….
Before he finished speaking, he swallowed his words as he took in her appearance.
Antonio was wearing a tailored suit and sitting upright, he pulled a small mirror from somewhere and fiddled with his clean hair. As he did so, he asked Javier who was next to him:
-Javier, what do you think of my clothes, does it look good, is there something wrong?
Javier looked at him carefully, shook his head and praised him:
-You look very handsome today.
John breathed a sigh of relief at his words.
