Just as she was thinking, Bianca had already brought Albina to her.
When she saw Diana, Bianca looked a little uncomfortable, coughed slightly and said to Albina:
-Albina, this is Diana Espina. She is three years older than you, you can call her Diana. Since you disappeared, I was in a trance, and it was Diana who saved me. I saw that her previous adoptive parents bullied and abused her, so I adopted her.
Bianca briefly explained the reason why she adopted Diana, for fear that Albina would feel uncomfortable.
Albina smiled and her expression did not change.
-I knew that before I came here.
When she arrived in Jerala City, Umberto had already told her about the situation of the five members of the Espina family, so Albina was already mentally prepared.
She held out her hand to Diana, and although she still had a smile, it was no longer so intimate.
-Hi, I’m Albina and I’m currently a designer.
Diana recovered from her distraction and quickly extended her hand.
-I’m Diana, an actress.
After she finished speaking, looking a bit proud, she took Bianca’s arm warmly and said:
-When I became an actress, I thought the family would object, but I didn’t expect that my parents not only didn’t object, but they fully supported my work and I have avoided many detours at work thanks to them. I am very grateful to mother.
Diana leaned on Bianca’s shoulder and rubbed it affectionately, they seemed to have a better relationship than the real mother and daughter.
Albina’s complexion didn’t change much, however, Umberto, Hector and Antonio’s complexion darkened, even Javier’s expression was also strange.
He looked at his fiance and frowned.
It was not appropriate to say that on this occasion.
The daughter of the family had just returned and since she was still like an outsider in the family, the relationship with her parents was not yet intimate, so bragging about how nice the parents were to you was a show of obvious malice unless you were a fool.
Hector had always disliked Diana very much, and seeing that she was intentionally stimulating Albina at the moment, he walked over to Albina before Bianca could speak.
When he looked at Albina, his eyes instantly turned kind.
-Albina, don’t ever go down the path of entertainment for a living, it’s full of dirt, so I’m afraid a clean person like you can’t stand it. Even if you think about it, our parents will definitely disagree. They love you very much, so don’t misbehave.
Albina felt the protection of his words, blinked and said with a smile:
-Yes, I will listen to my brother. Besides, unlike Diana, I can only make clothes. Only those who can act can stay in entertainment longer, I could never do that.
When Hector heard this, he couldn’t hold back a smile and when he finally stifled his laughter, he stroked her hair.
At first he thought Albina was a soft and obedient girl, but he hadn’t expected her to be able to insult others, so he was relieved now that she couldn’t be bullied by Diana.
Bianca’s expression also calmed down, she freed herself from Diana’s hand and pulled Albina towards Javier.
-Albina, this is Javier. He often came home to play when he was a child, and you were less than a year old at the time, he hugged you every day and wanted to take you home as his little sister. Your grandmother thought it was funny and made a marriage contract between the two of you.
Diana’s expression changed.
Was she trying to make her look bad by saying that right now? Bianca knew that Javier was her fiance now, but she still mentioned this engagement in front of Albina.
Did she want to tell him that because of Albina’s loss, the marriage contract fell into her hands and she picked up things Albina didn’t want?
Diana was very angry, but she did not dare to speak.
Bianca looked at her and, seeing her angry look, continued:
-But Javier and Diana fell in love at first sight at the banquet, and now they are engaged.
Feeling Bianca’s protection, Albina felt warm for a moment. She looked at Javier, her eyes were clear without any other emotion and she smiled generously.
-Mr. Romero, hello, I’m Albina.
The tone was relatively casual, but it was polite enough.
Javier looked into her eyes and was nervous for a moment, but quickly adjusted his mentality and nodded his head.
-Hello, the last time we met you were a chubby little baby, I didn’t expect you to grow so much now.
Albina didn’t know how to respond to what he said.
He had a young and handsome face, but he spoke like an old man, and she found that amusing.
Umberto kept looking at Javier until he saw that there was no ambiguity or other affection in his eyes, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Hector leaned in front of Umberto, slapped his arm and teased him.
-You must have been nervous at this moment.
He found he had a bad personality, but maybe it was because Umberto used to scold him on the phone and he always wanted revenge for that.
He just wanted to tear the calm, indifferent mask off Umberto’s face and see another side of him.
Umberto looked at him lightly.
-Albina has a husband as good as me, so how could she be in love with that boy?
Hector snorted, looked him up and down and said with mockery in his eyes:
-I just saw with my own eyes that your body was tense a moment ago. You pretend to be fine in front of me, but I bet your teeth are almost smashed in right now.
Umberto stared at him, but did not speak.
His ears slowly turned red.
He was really worried at this moment, after all, something could really happen because of the marriage contract.
Hearing Bianca say that Javier hugged Albina when she was a baby, his heart was really sour.
He really wanted to go back to his childhood, let his grandfather and the others move to Jerala City and meet Albina earlier. With his looks and intelligence, Albina’s grandmother would definitely like him, and maybe he would be the one with a marriage contract.
Diana was as bitter as he was.
She looked at Javier, who was speaking in front of Albina, and clenched her fists tightly.
“This Javier, what is he doing smiling so happily in front of other women?”
Although he didn’t want to admit it, Albina wasn’t as ugly as he had imagined her to be. Not only was she not ugly, but she inherited the good genes of the Espina family and combined all the advantages of her parents. She was very beautiful.
When Albina, Hector and Adrian were together, you could clearly see that they were a family.
On the other hand, Diana was pretty and was a well-known beauty in the entertainment industry, but standing in front of Albina, she was nothing compared to her, and her beauty crushed her in every aspect.
