Albina looked at the chubby, curly-haired boy in front of her and couldn’t resist pinching his little face.
-Adrian, thank you and I thank you for my baby boy. When he is born, I will tell him that his uncle loves him very much.
-Uncle?
Adrian’s face was tinged with excitement.
Albina nodded with a smile.
-Yes, when the baby is born, you will be an uncle.
Adrian didn’t know how to describe what he felt.
He was the youngest of all the children in the family, and now that there was finally one younger than him, he had even been promoted to an uncle.
The title was new and fun for him.
Whether it was in response to him was not known, but Albina’s belly suddenly jiggled.
She was wearing a rather light skirt and that sudden bulge became very apparent.
Adrian was taken aback.
-Sister, your belly is moving?
Albina couldn’t help but laugh at the look on his astonished face and suddenly remembered how silly Umberto and she had looked during the first fetal movement.
Beside her, Umberto’s handsome face also blushed.
-That’s the baby’s response, she’s thanking her little uncle.
Saying this, Adrian’s face instantly warmed up and he looked at Albina with his little hand outstretched, but a little embarrassed.
-Do you want to touch the baby? -Albina saw his intention and took his little hand and put it on her belly.
Coincidentally, just as her palm touched his belly, a small pouch instantly bulged under Adrian’s palm.
This wonderful sensation made Adrian’s eyes widen.
-Feel that, the baby loves its uncle!
At the sound of Albina’s voice, Adrian instantly let go of her hand and ran to his pile of toys, this time he didn’t even pick them out, but simply grabbed several and ran to her with joy.
-This, this, and this? They are for the baby.
Adrian held his treasures in his arms, with a hint of attachment in his eyes, but thinking he was the baby’s uncle and should be generous, he pushed them into Albina’s arms.
Umberto rushed to help him, and they both hugged him heartily as they looked at the child’s red, helpless face.
Adrian escorted Albina to the door of her room as he touched her tummy and whispered to the baby inside.
-“When you come out, I’ll give you more toys,” he said.
“I must grow up fast and buy more fun and cute things for the little one.”
Only when he knew Albina had entered the room did he turn around with interest and head for his own.
On the third floor, Adrian’s room was adjacent to Diana’s, so as soon as he went upstairs, he saw Diana’s figure in front of his room.
Diana looked at him with complicated eyes for a long time and let out a forced laugh.
-Adrian, I thought you didn’t like Albina either.
“What’s so great about her? Is it because they carry the same blood that the whole family loves her without exception?”
Diana’s mind was already going crazy with jealousy.
“Antonio, Bianca, Hector, Adrian, they’re all on Albina’s side, and me?”
Adrian pursed his lips and looked at the madness in Diana’s eyes, suddenly feeling that he no longer knew his sister.
He hesitated for a moment, but said what he wanted to say.
-Diana, Albina didn’t try to take your things or throw you out. We misunderstood before, so don’t make such a big deal out of it. Everything will remain as before, nothing will change….
But Diana simply wouldn’t listen.
“How can it stay the same?”
When Albina was gone, she was the only daughter of the Espina family and no one knew she was an adopted daughter. Although Hector didn’t treat her well, Antonio and Bianca liked her and Adrian depended on her.
But now that everyone loved Albina, would she go back to being the non-existent, unsupported adopted daughter?
-Adrian, did Albina tell you the words you said? -Diana spoke hoarsely and chuckled, “Did you believe it? Did you really think she wouldn’t take what was mine?
Adrian saw her smile and for some reason, his heart was not at ease.
-Diana, you keep telling me she’s going to take something from you, can you tell me what she’s going to steal from you? -he said with pursed lips.
Diana opened her mouth, unconsciously wanting to say something about Antonio and Bianca’s attention, their dependence, and their past glory.
But when the words reached her lips, suddenly nothing could come out.
He realized that Antonio and Bianca were Albina’s real parents, and that if Albina had not been lost, she would not be the one on whom Adrian would depend. He would even admit that her dependence was a strategy of his.
Her status was earned by stealing Albina’s job, and her past success was due to the fact that others did not know she was an adopted daughter and thought she was the real daughter of the Espina family.
Therefore, everything she had before would be returned to Albina when she returned.
Not to mention the fact that Albina didn’t need to snatch it, even if she took it, she couldn’t use the word “snatch”, she could use the word “retrieve”.
Diana’s face suddenly went white and she couldn’t say a word.
Adrian said nothing more, just reassured her.
-Diana, I think you should think about it. The best thing to do is to make peace with Albina, that’s what mom, dad and Hector want to see.
With his serious child’s face, Adrian looked like a young adult when he said this.
Adrian was a kind and transparent child who had been confused by Diana’s words and now saw it all clearly when he thought it through.
He went back to his room when he finished speaking.
Diana stood motionless for a long moment before pushing open the door to his room.
As soon as she entered the room, she shouted in a voice cracking with irritation and panic, then called out over the phone.
-Tomorrow you must make a fool of Albina, I don’t want her to steal my thunder….. I don’t care, you must do something. I can’t take it anymore, I can’t calm down… Ok, thanks… I’ll be waiting to see the fun tomorrow.
“Since you have so much, you shouldn’t steal my thunder tomorrow by being too glamorous. All the good in the world can’t come together in one person.”
Diana grabbed her phone with a sinister, jealous look.
