Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Fiona could not imagine that Angelica had woken up early to go for a morning run.

“Yes ma’am, the young lady made sure to put on her running shoes.”

“How long has she been out?”

“About an hour.”

“An hour?”

Fiona was shocked to hear the time, “It’s been an hour and she’s still not back, where did she go?”

“No no.” Fiona’s expression became a little serious, “She went out like this early in the morning, for a girl, it’s too dangerous, I have to run to find her.”

After saying this, Fiona also said to the maid, “Go upstairs and have her father call, tell him to look for her together.”

Fiona then put on a coat and prepared to go out.

As she left, she ran into Angelica, who had returned from her run.

“Mom?”

“Angelica?”

Fiona was surprised and approached her, “Mom was about to go out looking for you, what’s wrong?

Angelica shook her head, “No mom, I ran and I was so hot and sweaty, I was so hot.”

After that Angelica went inside to undress, Fiona quickly followed her and grabbed a towel to wipe off the sweat, “After you wipe off the sweat you have to change your clothes.

You’ve never gotten up to run before, but suddenly you come out so early and become so diligent, are you trying to scare someone to death?”

Angelica gasped slightly; she had only jogged for an hour today and was really tired.

But when she thought of Manuel, Angelica gritted her teeth and continued.

She finally came back when it was almost time.

“No mom, I just thought I should exercise more.”

Angelica did not tell Fiona that she wanted to lose weight, but she found another reason: “When I took a trip earlier, an aunt told me that life is about exercise.

You have to exercise more to be healthy.”

“Oh, why didn’t you listen when mom told you earlier? What, Mom’s words are not important and other people’s words are sacred orders?”

Fiona grumbled toward her, reaching out to poke her little head.

“Mom, it’s not like that,” Angelica shook her head, “I know you love me, but mom is mom, and I don’t always distinguish when you say something in jest, but when in earnest, and a stranger’s words are perceived differently.

“I guess you’re right.”

“I’m going to do a morning run every day from now on.”

“All right, all right, you want to exercise, Mom doesn’t object, but from now on you can’t go too early in the morning, at least wait until the sun comes out to chase away the cold before going for a run.”

“Okay, fine.”It was only a few days before winter break, but Angelica continued to run every day in the morning and ate less, from two bowls of rice per meal before, now it was reduced to one bowl per meal, and eventually not even one, and in the morning she ate corn

sandwiches, soy milk, and do some cereal.

“Angelica, are you on a diet?”

Whenever Fiona asked her, Angelica would shake her head and deny, “No, Mom, I’m working out!”

“Are you working out? You’re starting to say no to high-calorie things, do you really think your mother is stupid?”

Angelica flattened her mouth and said nothing.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Fiona pulled her daughter into the room and sat down, “Tell Mom the truth, what did you get into on this trip?”

She knew Angelica’s personality too well, she had told her several times before, but the girl was indifferent, now she was willing to play sports, which was good, after all, exercise and weight loss were healthy, but suddenly it made Fiona think there must be something in between.

“Nothing, nothing mom.”

“Don’t lie to me, you are my daughter, if you have something to say, tell me, how can your mother hurt you?”

Angelica stared intensely at her mother with her clean eyes, like a spring, then lowered her head and after a while said, ”

– Mother, if I lose weight, will I become beautiful?”

“Of course, our Angelica is so beautiful when she is chubby, if she loses weight she will be absolutely gorgeous.”

“So Mom, do you think Manuel will like me?”

Angelica took a long time to ask this question.

Fiona was so engrossed in the question that she took a long time to answer.

“Angelica, what did you say?”

She could not believe what she was hearing and gave a look of incredible shock, Angelica saw this look on her face and hung her head in distress for a moment.

“Mom, am I paranoid?”

She said, biting her lower lip, her heart hard as hell, “But … I don’t want my brother to have a girlfriend, I don’t.”

She also finally understood why she had shed tears when she dreamed about Manuel earlier in the night, it turned out that her heart cared, she just never realized it before.

During this time she had not only lost weight but also thought about it, and by now her mind was clear; she had grown up with Manuel, two childhood friends, and had long depended on him and wanted to stay that way with him.

She wanted to be with him all the time.

“Angelica how do you do …” Fiona thought her daughter did not know feelings and thought about when she would really grow up, and then when she mentioned the weight loss to the girl, she always seemed not to care.

Fiona could only sigh in her heart, after all she couldn’t interfere with the fate of the little girl, if she and Manuel really didn’t have that fate, or if Manuel really didn’t like Angelica, then she could just find someone else after that.

But Angelica was surprised …

“Mom, I didn’t mean to.” Angelica looked up and said miserably, “But I’ve been acting strange lately.”

“Silly girl.” Fiona hugged her, “There’s nothing strange about you, it’s normal to like someone, you’re already so great.”

“Isn’t that strange?”

“Soon you’ll be an adult, what’s strange about having someone you like? It’s just that … mom never knew when you would grow up.”

“But I’m too fat.”

“Aren’t you on a diet now? But have you really thought about it?”

Fiona was a little worried that Angelica didn’t distinguish enough between real feelings and affection; did she not want Manuel to have a girlfriend because she liked him, or because she didn’t want to lose a childhood friend? Those are two different things.

“Yes,” Angelica nodded, “I hope to lose weight before Manuel has a girlfriend.”

Other than that, she wanted to become an adult soon.

Moreover, she dreamed of becoming an adult as soon as possible. One more year and she will turn eighteen. By that time, she will be an adult! She hoped that by the time she became an adult, she would be thin.
