Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Serena lowered her eyes and paid no attention to Cristian’s expression; she heard only a tone of reproach in his words.

Maybe he was angry with her. After all who would want their assistant to argue with their employees causing a mess in the cafeteria?

She heard the sound of moving wheels. A pair of slender legs appeared before Serena’s eyes, before she could understand anything she suddenly fell into the man’s arms.

Serena opened her eyes wide.

Cristian had moved in front of her and then pulled her into his arms.

Serena was stunned. Cristian took her chin and lifted her head to let her look into his eyes.

“Do you know why I’m angry?”

He was so close to her that from her agitation Serena could think no more and shook her head.

“I already knew everything that had happened in the cafeteria.”

“What? You already knew everything? Then why did you ask me again?”

“I just wanted to hear your side, but I didn’t expect you to tell me so lightly. Don’t you think you have suffered enough injustice already? Can’t you say anything when you are wronged?”

When speaking Cristian tapped her forehead.

Serena exclaimed in pain as she covered her forehead.

“Then you feel the pain.” Cristian sneered in a cold voice.

Serena put her hand on her forehead and said, “What do you mean?”

“Don’t fight with others next time.” Said Cristian looking intensely at Serena’s face. There were some scratches on her face. When he saw them he felt as if someone scratched his heart.

“Okay.” Said Serena. She didn’t want to fight with those women. She just couldn’t hold back anymore at that moment.

Cristian let out a sigh, put his hand behind Serena’s head making her lean on his chest. Serena leaned back but was very confused.

Why did she have the impression that Cristian was worrying about her? Was it her illusion?

As she was thinking, she heard Cristian’s voice, “Otherwise I…”

Someone knocked on the office door.

“Mr. Cristian, the doctor has arrived!”

Luca’s voice sounded outside the office.

Serena raised her head and looked at Cristian. He was looking at her with a complicated look, “You can get up. Let the doctor check if you hurt yourself somewhere.” He said this and gently lifted her up.

Serena stood up.

“Come in.”

Only then did Luca open the door letting the doctor in.

It was a doctor. Cristian told them to go to the rest room for the check-up.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Serena followed the doctor and they entered the room. The doctor was a woman in her late 40s. She looked very friendly and had a kind smile, “Miss Serena, take off your clothes. I’ll take a look at your wounds.”

Serena nodded obediently. She was about to take off her clothes when she suddenly remembered something, instantly froze.

I can’t… on my body I still had so many marks that Cristian had left me. If the doctor saw them, would I feel shameful?

Thinking about that Serena stopped undressing, “Doctor, I’m fine. Just look at the scratches on my face.”

As for the burn on her shoulder, she just needed to go to the pharmacy after work and buy some ointment and put it on at home.

The doctor smiled slightly, “What are you saying? I’m a doctor. Don’t be shy. Take off your clothes.”

Finally Serena had no choice. She took off her dress but leaving only her injured shoulder visible.

When the doctor noticed the burn on her shoulder, she was a bit shocked, “So bad and you say you have nothing wrong?”

Serena did not answer. Her face flushed.

As the doctor treated her wounds she said, “I heard you are pregnant. Next time you should be more careful. This time was good for you and you are lucky, but who knows what will happen if there is another time. It’s best to avoid quarreling with others. For the sake of your baby you should know how to protect yourself and not get into conflict with others.”

When Serena heard those words, she was a bit shocked.

It was the first time for her to become a mother. Moreover, after her divorce with Francis and her marriage to Cristian, following that rainy night, she was living every day in a horrible way and often did not even know what her identity was anymore and what she was doing. She did all things following her heart and instinct.

“All right.” Serena nodded.

The doctor smiled, “Okay, the wound has been treated. This is the sunburn ointment. Remember to put it twice a day and when the wound is healed, you can use this.”

Serena took the two ointments, “What is the other one?”

“It’s for scars. Don’t get a scar. It won’t look good.”

“Thank you.”

Serena took the two creams and lost herself in thought.

If earlier Luca had not knocked on the door, interrupting the sentence Cristian was about to say. It seemed to Serena that he was actually saying, “I will worry about you…”

However, he had been interrupted, so she could not know what he was really going to say to her, and this displeased Serena a little. Afterwards she came to her senses and left the room together with the doctor.

The doctor took off her mask and said, “All done.”

Cristian’s gaze fell on her face, in a rarely peaceful tone he said, “Thank you auntie.”

Serena who was behind the doctor was surprised. Were you Cristian’s aunt?

Suddenly Serena’s face became even redder. If she was Cristian’s aunt, then earlier she had seen all those marks on my body. What will she think. She must have understood everything….

Thinking about it she became as red as a bell pepper.

“If you want to thank me, then come and see me often, Cristian, don’t stay in your office all day.” The woman who removed the mask was Cristian’s aunt, the sister of Cristian’s mother, Beatrice Marchetti.

Beatrice was about eight years younger than Cristian’s mother, about forty years old, but she kept herself very well and looked very young; she looked like she was in her early thirties. In addition, she had a sweet and gentle look and smile that made people feel at ease. Serena felt just that way when Beatrice treated her wounds, but she did not expect her to be Cristian’s aunt.

Beatrice turned to look at Serena with a meaningful look.

“I heard Cristian talking about you. Although this is an arranged marriage, after all, you are now a real couple. In the future you will have to take care of your child.”

Hearing this, Serena opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain, but at that moment Cristian said, “Aunt, we know.”

“You, too, as a man should protect your woman well. How can you let her get hurt like that? Her back was burned, if it wasn’t that you brought me here in time to treat her, then the scar might remain. Do you know?”

Cristian frowned slightly, “Auntie this time it was an accident.”

Because he had never thought that Serena would fight with other women in the cafeteria, he never imagined such a scene.

“Even if it was an accident? You didn’t prevent the accident from happening. Isn’t that your fault?” Beatrice wrinkled her forehead.

Cristian: “It’s my fault.”

Beatrice nodded contentedly, “You will have to make changes in the future. I still have things to do, I’ll leave now.”

After Beatrice left, Serena fixed Cristian with a complicated look.

“You didn’t tell your aunt that the baby is not…”
