“Ignore her, I think she has problems.”
“I think so too. She just said she wasn’t coming with us, but she just stood there staring at us. Then after staring at us the whole time, she asked us if he had left. If that’s not being idiots…”
The girls walked away gossiping.
Anna stood there for a while before reacting. Then she looked in the direction in which he had just disappeared. She saw that he had gotten into the car and looked at the license plate. It appeared to be from North City.
She had not seen wrong or hallucinated; it was indeed him.
Destiny…
It is a wonderful and terrible thing at the same time.
Anna’s face whitened again, then she turned and left.
After Serena was back in the car with Manuel, Manuel fell asleep in her arms, and with his small hand squeezed her waist.
Manuel was used to this. When they went out and he wanted to sleep, he reached out his hands and held Serena firmly for fear that she might suddenly disappear.
Serena stroked his head and as she sat on the seat.
He had no idea how much time he would spend here tonight.
As she thought about it, she heard the phone vibrate, Serena pulled it out and glanced at it, it was a message from Matthew.
[Where are you?]
Seeing Matteo, Serena answered him in anger.
[We are stuck on the highway now, thanks to you].
[What’s going on?]
Matteo quickly replied. Through those words, Serena could already vividly imagine how scowling he was.
Serena sent him a message before he could call.
[Manuel is asleep.]
He answered her after a while.
[How did you know I was going to call?]
[Maybe because I’m your sister? A car exploded, now the police are dealing with it, but it has already been a long time].
[Why didn’t you tell me earlier, I’ll come right away to get you.]]
Serena managed to notice that Matteo was not thinking, he had probably already left the house, and immediately sent him a message.
[There’s no need for you to come for me, we’ll be leaving soon.]
But the other did not respond, Serena felt helpless, he had probably already left.
Just then, Anna returned. She opened the door and sat down. Opening the door, fresh air came in from outside. Serena unconsciously leaned forward to block the cold air for Manuel.
“Are you back?” Serena asked softly.
Anna was still frightened, and her face was still pale at the moment. Serena seemed not to notice, and she merely nodded.
Serena looked at her and said, “What’s going on?”
“Huh?” Anna had a high tone of voice. She realized that her voice might disturb Manuel. She quickly put her hand over her mouth, shook her head and whispered, “Nothing.”
“Nothing?” Serena saw his shifty eyes and realized that something must have happened. She arched her eyebrows, “Your face is as white as a ghost’s. Do you still want to tell me it’s okay?”
When she heard this, Anna reached out to cover her face.
Damn, her face was still pale.
Anna quickly grabbed the mirror to look at herself. She looked really bad. She took the powder to put on her makeup. Serena told her in a low voice, “You don’t need it. It’s your eyes that have betrayed you. Tell me, what happened? Something is wrong, what is the problem?”
Anna froze. A moment later, she closed the powder box, then looked at Serena and said seriously, “Actually, I have a stomach ache and I need to go to the bathroom!”
Serena: “…”
“But where can I find a bathroom in this place? I can only endure. I can only endure and break into a cold sweat.”
Serena: “…”
“Hey, I really want to go to the bathroom.” Said Anna with an embarrassed smile as she touched her cheek. She was so panicked to try to hide her emotions, and still felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, Matteo was not in the car, otherwise. She could not have said those words.
Thinking about this, Anna folded her lips into a smile.
Serena was speechless, and for a moment she could not tell whether what Anna had said was true or false, a moment later, she asked again, “So how are you going to do it now? Can you resist?”
“Sure.” Anna nodded, “I’m holding it in.”
Serena after a while said, “I don’t think you should cook in the future.”
Anna: “Why?”
“After tonight’s conversation, I can’t look at you anymore.”
Anna: “…”
Ten minutes later, the cars were told that they could go on.
So the car slowly started up again. Anna felt nervous again. She lay down by the window and looked at the surrounding vehicles. Was she going to meet Cristian?
No way.
However, she was still worried. The road to North City was still long. Even if she and Serena stopped at other places, they would still all go to North City. Anna did not understand why Cristian had gone to South Town for no reason; she was afraid that if she saw him, Serena would be sad.
So she did not dare tell Serena that she had seen Cristian.
“What’s the matter with you? Are you struggling to hold it in again?”
A weak voice came from her side. Anna looked back and saw Serena looking at her with a weak smile. Her cold eyes were like a frozen lake, as if everything could be reflected from within.
Anna had the impression that he was teasing her. In fact, she knew very well what he was thinking.
However, this did not stop her from playing dumb to the end.
In any case, Serena could not imagine that it could be that man, she simply closed her eyes and sat down, and she stopped answering Serena’s questions.
She did not want to tell him, and Serena did not ask her anything.
After all, everyone has their own secrets, Anna’s secrets should remain for her.
The road was crowded, but soon cleared. The car sped through the darkness. Little by little, Serena felt tired, when suddenly she heard Anna’s voice.
“Go ahead and sleep, I just slept, now I’m not sleepy, I’ll take care of it, and then Mario is there too.”
“Okay.” Serena nodded, then leaned back in her seat and fell fast asleep.
Soon her breathing became more regular.
Anna turned her head and looked at Serena’s sleeping face.
She hoped she would not run into him again, or else. She really wouldn’t know what to do.
Perhaps Serena was just the most helpless one.
After all, it was he who had hurt her deeply, but…. At the same time, Serena loved him just as deeply.
