The reason she brought Javier was to let him see Albina’s rustic appearance and to make sure he had no thoughts about Albina.
Unfortunately, the exact opposite happened, and she became the worst.
Diana stood alone at the end, looking directly at Albina’s fair skin and delicate facial features.
“Didn’t they say that people become ugly when they are pregnant? Why didn’t that happen with her body?”
“Did it also depend on the person?”
After Albina finished talking to Javier, she suddenly felt someone looking at her from behind and turned her head abruptly.
Diana didn’t have time to hold her gaze, and Albina looked directly at her.
She froze for a moment, then quickly restrained her expression, and flashed an embarrassed and uncomfortable smile.
-Albina, what’s wrong?
Albina smiled and gave him a meaningful look.
-It’s nothing, I just think you must feel a little lonely behind.
Javier was stunned for a moment and quickly walked in front of Diana, then he said with a worried voice:
– Diana, what’s wrong, are you feeling bad? Your complexion doesn’t look good.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her.
Diana quickly lowered her head. She was upset because Javier was very direct and now she was afraid of what the others would think about her.
-No, I’m fine, maybe I didn’t sleep well last night.
Hector scoffed and whispered to Umberto:
-Surely all night she was worried that Albina would come back and take her place.
His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it. Umberto looked at Diana with a deep expression.
Diana had held a position that did not belong to her for many years and really thought this was her home, but she was very hostile towards the biological daughter of the Espina family.
She was very greedy.
Adrian really cared about Diana, so upon hearing Javier’s words, he ran to her. His small hand grasped Diana’s fingers and he asked with concern:
– Diana, do you want to take a break?
Looking at his face, Diana was surprised, how could she forget that Adrian was there?
Antonio, Bianca and Hector were impossible to shake, but Adrian was different. He had been with her for a long time and would definitely favor her over Albina.
Diana looked at him and smiled.
-No need, maybe I didn’t eat in the morning and now I’m a little hungry.
At this moment, Bianca realized something.
-I completely forgot, the food is ready. Albina, come in quickly, we have prepared all your favorite dishes. You can eat it and check if it suits your taste.
The group of people started to enter, and Diana took Adrian’s little hand and walked around the back. After everyone came in, she lowered her head and said to Adrian:
-Adrian, did you see that? They only pay attention to Albina and didn’t care that she didn’t eat breakfast. Since Albina came home, they didn’t even look at me, they only cared about her.
Adrian frowned, he didn’t feel anything at first, but now that he heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He was the youngest in the family, his parents and servants usually worried about him first, but today, they both only cared about Albina.
He and Diana were at the end and had not yet entered the house, but no one noticed.
Adrian’s face was a little sad and he was no longer happy about the gift in his arms.
Diana smiled and pinched his face.
-Forget it, don’t think about it so much. They don’t pay attention to us, but you still have me. I’ll take care of you.
Adrian looked at her with eyes full of admiration.
If Hector were here right now and heard these words, he would definitely ridicule Diana for being a hypocrite. He had enjoyed more than 20 years of family love in the Espina family, but Albina came back after a long time. What was wrong with being a little more enthusiastic? The parents and daughter hadn’t been together in over 20 years, so why couldn’t they care more about her?
But at the moment, Hector was diligently peeling fruit for his younger sister and asked her to eat a little before the food was served, so he didn’t notice Diana’s ghostly plan.
Bianca went to the kitchen to take a look around, and when she returned, she smiled and said to Albina:
-The food will be ready soon, and there is a soup that is almost ready. Wait a few more minutes.
-It’s all right, I’m not very hungry.
Before she came in the morning, Mrs. Santangel deliberately filled her with food because she was worried that she was hungry.
Bianca pushed Hector away and sat down next to Albina. She was still very emotional as she looked at her lost daughter.
She touched Albina’s belly and said:
-You are five months pregnant, it’s very hard for you?
Bianca just meant that if the pregnancy was too difficult, she could stay home until the baby was born. Now that she was here, she could take good care of Albina.
But when she saw her daughter’s tender face, she couldn’t say those words.
The Santangel family raised Albina very well.
She had seen Albina’s pictures at fashion week before, and although Albina was very beautiful at the time, she was too thin and her chin was pointed. As a mother, she felt distressed.
But now, her face and skin were more hydrated, she ate well, slept well and took good care of herself. She had lots of energy, her complexion was rosy and she looked healthier than before her pregnancy.
-The Santangel family treats you very well.
It took her a long time to say this.
Albina nodded, looked at Umberto and her eyes filled with happiness.
-Umberto treats me very well, he hired a professional doctor and a nutritionist. They have been taking care of my body and now I am much better. Umberto also massages my calf every night, so I don’t suffer at all.
When he said this, the happiness in his eyes could not be faked at all.
Not only Bianca, who was already very satisfied with Umberto, but even Hector and Antonio changed their opinion about Umberto instantly.
They looked at the imposing and serious man sitting on the other side of Albina, and found him unbelievable.
“Would a person like Umberto soak his wife’s feet at night and give her a massage?”
Antonio used to think he loved his wife very much and treated her very well, but he didn’t reach her level.
-All right, that’s great! -Antonio patted Umberto on the shoulder and praised him twice.
Even though Umberto hurt his daughter before, if he could do this, then Antonio will let go of the past.
Hector originally wanted to let Umberto drink with Antonio, but at that moment he changed his mind.
If he got drunk, it would worry Albina, so it was better to forget that idea.
Umberto noticed the change between father and son, squeezed Albina’s fingers privately and winked at her.
“Thank you for speaking up for me in front of your parents.”
Albina smiled back at him.
“You’re welcome! You’re my husband, if I don’t help you, who’s going to help you?”
Flirtatious glances from the two fell into Diana’s eyes just after they walked through the door, and she felt a little dazzled.
