Chapter 148 Is really that man?
Breakfast bar.
Leonardo seemed to come here often. As soon as he walked in the door, the owner greeted him immediately.
“This bar is very famous for breakfast around here because the ingredients are very fresh and there are many dishes. Here’s menu. See what you can eat.”
Leonardo took her to where he often went. After sitting down, he gave Serena the menu.
Serena did not want to have breakfast. She just looked at the menu and asked for a bowl of soup.
Seeing her order so little, Leonardo decided to order a little more. After he handed the menu to the waiter, he looked at Serena.
“What is the problem? You look so weak and have no appetite. Do you need me to drive you to the hospital later?”
Hearing this, Serena came to her senses and looked at Leonardo in front of her.
He was wearing a clean white shirt. The collar and shirt were neatly pressed with no creases. She could see that he was a very distinctive person.
Leonardo’s facial features were very handsome, but compared to Cristian’s they were much softer.
She thought back to the saying that a gentleman must be like the wind.
Leonardo gave her that feeling. His character was gentle but not lukewarm.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Was he really the man of that night?
“No need, I simply did not sleep well.”
The concern in Leonardo’s eyes grew stronger: “Sister-in-law, do you hate me?”
Serena was stunned: “You?”
“You always oppose me.” Leonardo smiled and asked softly, “What for?”
Serena explained awkwardly, “There is no problem. You are thinking too much.
“Then you won’t oppose me so much, will you?”
Serena: “…”
She lowered her eyes as she was still confused.
How could she prove what Alice had said?
After thinking for a long time, Serena raised her head again and asked softly, “Your clothes… are they all tailored?”
Although this question sounded a bit abrupt, Serena needed confirmation.
At first Leonardo did not understand why she was asking this question, but he did not care. He simply nodded slowly, “Sometimes I have them custom-made. Sometimes when I don’t have time I buy them. What’s the problem?”
Hearing this, Serena clasped her hands under the table.
That button was custom made.
Should she kept asking questions? If she kept investigating whether Leonardo was really the man of that night, he would notice!
Serena thought about how to ask the next question so that he would not notice.
After thinking for a long time, she spoke again.
“No, it’s just that I usually see that you wear such nice clothes. So you first…”
Serena looked up as she asked him the question, but she noticed that Leonardo was looking at her with those beautiful eyes and a smile on his face. Those eyes that looked like jade were staring at her, as if they could read her mind.
Serena breathed heavily and froze.
Leonardo looked at her with deep eyes.
“You seem to have a lot of questions?”
Serena dared not ask any more. Just then, the waiter brought the soup she had ordered. Serena avoided Leonardo’s eyes, then made to take the soup.
But because she was nervous, she accidentally knocked over the bowl and scalded herself.
Sitting on the other side, Leonardo with a smile on his face got up and rushed to take Serena’s hand, “Please give me the cold water.”
The waiter was stunned and immediately went to fill a bowl with cold water.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault.” Serena shook her head. It had been her negligence.
After receiving the water, Leonardo dipped Serena’s hand into the bowl. Her skin was very fair. But at that moment, her hand was warm and red. Leonardo frowned, “This is not good. Let it soak for a while. I will buy some cream nearby. Wait for me.”
With what he said, Leonardo rushed out before Serena answered.
Serena had not time to stop him, so she had to wait in her place.
Initially, she thought that Leonardo would return only after a long time. She did not expect that after only four or five minutes he was back. Leonardo grabbed a cream and came right back to her.
She pulled her hand out of the water, dried it with a clean paper towel, and then put the sunburn cream on her.
The cream was very cold.
Serena felt a gasp from Leonardo. She lifted her head and saw a layer of sweat on Leonardo’s forehead.
This was…
She felt a leap in her heart. He had run so fast just to buy her the cream.
“Why do you treat me so well?”
After Serena finished speaking, she regretted it. Why ask such a question? Did she deliberately not allow others to misunderstand?
Thinking about this, Serena immediately explained, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that. I mean… there’s no need to be so nice to me.”
After speaking this, Serena immediately retracted her hand.
She did not want Leonardo to hold her hand.
Leonardo looked up, which fell on her face.
“I’m not done yet, stay calm.”
His voice was gentle, but with an irresistible strength, he held her hand tightly and slowly and applied sunburn cream for her.
Inexplicably, Serena felt the looks around her were a little strange. She insisted long before Leonardo let her go.
“Well, don’t touch the water today. Fortunately, it’s not the right hand. Why don’t you take a day off today?”
Serena pulled her hand back, still feeling the coldness of Leonardo’s hand on her wrist.
“No.”
Leonardo stood up and grabbed his coat, “The cream is only a temporary solution. I will take you to the hospital for treatment.”
Serena wanted to tell him no, but Leonardo forced her out.
For the first time Serena discovered that Leonardo also had a strong side.
“Serena, there are many ways for a person to act. Of course, when faced with different people and situations, he will act differently. Maybe he usually seems kind, but in reality he is…”
Alice’s words rang in her ear again.
Leonardo was really…
You could say that Serena was in a trance. She was distracted and walked behind Leonardo. Leonardo stared at her seat belt and called her name twice without her answering.
Her mind was in a state of confusion.
If Leonardo was really that person, what was she going to do in the future?
She was Cristian’s wife, even if it was only in name and nothing else.
Until now, Serena still could not accept this fact.
When the car started, Serena said, “Stop.”
Leonardo stepped on the brake, “What’s going on?”
Without saying a word, Serena opened the door and got out of the car.
