Chapter 93: Unbalanced Transactions
“Then I really have to ask you. After we got married, you always treated her with kindness. What are your intentions?
“You completely misunderstood. I met her by chance.”
“Is that so? Was it by chance or had you already made up your mind? “Having said that, Cristian penetrated Serena with his gaze.
Serena immediately clenched her fists, then without fear she crossed Cristian’s eyes and moved her lips.
Everyone thought Serena was going to explain the situation, but she could only say, “Whether it’s intentional or not, you will still think your way. I don’t have to explain anything to you, and since you are a hypocrite, people will never tell you what they think.”
“Aurora?” Leonardo frowned slightly, wondering why Serena didn’t pretend to be defeated at that moment and wanted to respond back to Cristian.
“It’s none of your business.” Serena pushed Leonardo away. Her petite body was in front of him, “Do you always think I’m an opportunist? Then you think that I am, that I am that kind of person and that I asked him to come to me. ”
Cristian’s eyes froze quickly, staring at her dangerously.
“Do you even know what you’re talking about?”
Serena was really tired of Cristian. His every word hit her in the heart like an arrow wounding her more and more each day. Had she by any chance asked to stay at the Ferrari house, but she was unable to? She could no longer control her emotions.
“Have you forgotten what I just told you? you-”
“Leonardo, this is a matter between Cristian and me. Are you leaving?”
“?”
Serena looked at him firmly, insisting that he should leave.
Leonardo’s thin lips moved, but finally he could not say a word. He merely nodded, then looked at Cristian and gave one last explanation, “Cristian, you should calm down a bit. She and I met by chance and we did nothing wrong. Now I’m going to leave and let you talk.”
After Leonardo left, Luca immediately felt it was unnecessary for him to stay here and pointed to the tip of his nose, “… Am I leaving too? ”
No one paid attention to him. Luca touched his head. Hadn’t his question been a bit shallow? Wasn’t it enough to just leave? Luca also followed him and left.
Only Cristian and Serena were left in the deep garden.
The others had left, and the two of them stared at each other from a short distance. The atmosphere around them changed. The moonlight seemed to get lighter and lighter, striking Cristian’s face, making it look more icy.
There was a standoff for a while. Cristian spoke first, “Come here.”
Serena remained motionless with her eyes downcast, “I want to talk to you about some things.”
Hearing this, Cristian raised his lips and sneered, “Speak.”
Serena stared at the floor, “At first we made a pact. I only stayed at the Ferrari house so that it would become my temporary refuge, but my presence here allows you not to get involved with someone decided by Mr. Alessandro. Originally our cooperation was fair, right? ”
“Who told you it was equitable?” Cristian’s deep and indifferent tone made Serena quickly raise her head and look at him with evasive eyes, “No… wasn’t it?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Cristian slowly pushed the wheelchair toward Serena. Because he moved very slowly, Serena did not notice. As he moved forward, he said coldly, “It doesn’t matter who will give me themarriage. I will never be a part of his group. If there is a plan behind the marriage thought up by a person with some intentions, it can never work. Serena, do not forget, that even if it is a marriage of convenience, the person who married me is your sister, Aurora Gallo. ”
Serena’s fingers trembled.
“Serena, you got married on her behalf and you also carried another child. It was you who begged me that day to let you stay.”
Serena: “…”
Cristian: “Now, do you still want to say that this marriage of convenience is fair?”
Serena bit her lower lip and there was a trace of blood in her eyes, “Okay, even if I beg you to let me stay, let’s just have a marriage, right? Why do you have to trample on my dignity? Why?”
Cristian smiled weakly, “It’s funny.”
Hearing this, Serena’s eyes remained incredulous, “It’s funny?”
Was trampling on other people’s dignity, sowing discord funny?
Cristian was almost bloodthirsty and his tone was as cold as ice, “Do you think being my wife is that easy? Serena, this is the price for your family to join mine and deceive me! ”
The price?
Serena was standing under the tree with a pale face. The moonlight made her face long. Her hair was loose again, like a female ghost.
She understood that this was why he treated her this way. Serena suddenly understood why he treated himself that way.
“So, in your eyes, I’m the one who would do anything to get married and make me part of the Ferrari family, right?”
Cristian arched his eyebrows, “Of course yes.”
What could Serena say? She lowered her eyes.
Did she want to get married? In this marriage she was the victim.
But knowing that he would not understand, Serena smiled self-deprecatingly, “Yes, I am that kind of person.”
Cristian raised his eyebrows. What was wrong with this woman? Suddenly she didn’t want to argue anymore.
“What do you want to talk to me about this?”
Serena raised her head again. Her gaze had calmed. She looked at him slightly.
“That’s it. I’m going back.”
After speaking, Serena turned and prepared to leave. Cristian frowned deeply, gritted his teeth and said, “Go back.”
Serena paused and smiled, “What are your orders, Mr. Cristian?”
From then on, she would recognize her true identity. No matter what he would say, she would always consider him part of an agreement.
She demanded too much of him.
Cristian was right: this was an unbalanced transaction, and the use of terms would increase its price
And Serena was the one who had to endure it.
“What are you calling me?”
Serena stood still for a while, then suddenly turned around. Her face was cold in the moonlight and her smile was not warm.
“Mr. Cristian, what are your orders?”
Cristian: “…..”
Damn!
Suddenly this change made Cristian very uncomfortable, and his eyes were so calm that he felt as if something was gradually being lost.
That feeling made him very unhappy! !
“Who allows you to call me that?”
Serena smiled weakly, “Didn’t you say that, Mr. Cristian? Let me call you like everyone else does. ”
Cristian: “That’s when we’re at the company. If you call me that at home, what do you want grandpa know?”
“Oh, what do you want me to call you? You can say it, then I’ll change. ”
Very unexpectedly, Serena became remarkably well-behaved and docile, as if she were a good servant.
