Chapter 617: My father.


    But on the way back, Serena noticed a problem.


    That is, she had invited Matteo toe home often for dinner, and would even clean the guest room


    for him. If he hade to live in this time period recently, in case he had met Cristian....


    Thinking about this, Serena''s face became a little ugly.


    -Mom, what''s wrong with you?


    Hearing this, Serena came back to herself and looked at Manuel, who was sitting next to her and


    leaning on her arm. She thought that Matteo would live with him for the next few days. If Cristian visited


    them suddenly and the two men met, it would be a disaster.


    Even though Serena knew it didn''t work and they always ended up dating, she still wanted to make


    some effort.


    But did she really believe it in her heart?

    Did she really--didn''t she want to be with Cristian?


    -It''s okay, Mom, I''m just thinking about something.


    Manuel opened his eyes and looked at her curiously, -What is it, Mom? Do you want to tell Manuel and


    let Manuel share your worries for you?


    Let him share his worries?


    Serena looked at his innocent little face and thought about what Cristian had told her that day.


    He had said that even if she gave birth to her ex-husband''s child, he would be willing to treat that child


    as his own.


    Could he really have done that?


    She did not believe it and felt that men were very stingy and would not tolerate their wives having an


    affair with other men.


    Even though she was not having an affair with other people, Cristian thought that child belonged to


    Francesco Rossi.


    Because not long after they were married in the night house, he had discovered her pregnancy.


    So, in Cristian''s memory, this baby was Francesco''s.


    Thinking thus, Serena spoke slowly: -You... you told me earlier that you would like to find a daddy,


    right?


    In thest sentence, she had asked carefully, as if probing.


    After listening, Manuel could not help but blink and then whispered: -Mom, do you want to find a daddy


    for Manuel?


    Serena nodded, -Yes, haven''t you looked for him?


    -But..." Manuel reached out his little hand and pushed her hard, -Manuel, he just wants to find his


    daddy."


    Hearing this, Serena was silent for a few seconds and understood what Manuel had said.


    She thought for a while and bit her lower lip.


    -If ... he was your real father, what would you think?


    Manuel''s eyes suddenly lit up, -Really? Mother, are you really willing to find my father for me?


    He got excited and hugged Serena''s hand tightly, "Mom, when are we going to find dad?"


    This child...


    Was he so excited to hear that?


    So Serena thought again, maybe it really was a happy thing to be able to find his biological father in the


    eyes of a child.


    -Don''t worry, take it easy, if there''s a chance, I''ll show you.


    -Oh, thank you, mom.


    Serena hugged Manuel and suddenly felt that the knot in her heart seemed to melt away.


    If it was possible, she hoped that she herself and Manuel could be happy.


    Thinking of this, Serena smiled deeply.

    After bringing Manuel home, Serena lived a life in which she went out early and came homete,


    running the business during the day, sending Manuel to school, picking him up from school in the


    evening, and both of theming home.


    Life seemed to be very quiet, but Cristian had be quiet and was no longer showing up.


    Serena felt strange, but she did not know that Cristian was no longer in the country until Arianna told


    her that he had been on a business trip abroad these days.


    At the thought that he had not even sent her a message, Serena felt empty in her heart, as if she was


    missing a part of him.


    She had brought Manuel back and was finally convinced. However, as a result ... had he really gone


    abroad without a word?


    -So ... do you know how long before hees back? Serena still couldn''t help but ask.


    Arianna wrinkled her nose, -How should I know? I was about to submit the project, and suddenly I


    heard that he was out of the country, so I didn''t have to go looking for him these days.


    -Okay, I understand," Serena nodded, indicating that it was clear.


    Arianna looked at her, "Serena, you look a little disappointed."


    She touched her face, was it that obvious?


    Had she really shown disappointment?


    Thinking about it, she said reluctantly, "Go do your work first."


    -Well, then.


    After Arianna went out, she met Anna who was about to enter. She hurried to take Anna to the nearest


    pantry to tell her this business.


    -Why are you throwing me out? I still have work to report to Serena. Get out of my way.


    -Anna, Serena got lost a moment ago.


    -Anna paused when she heard about Serena, then narrowed her eyes to look at Arianna: -What do you


    mean by that?


    -I told her that Mr. Cristian was out of the country, and then she she looked disappointed.


    Listening, Anna immediately understood.


    It had turned out to be because of Cristian.


    In fact, she had always known about Serena''s feelings for Cristian. Although she had been abroad for


    the past five years, Serena''s love for Cristian had never stopped.


    She was calm and t in appearance, and it was only herself who was slowly freezing her heart. The


    emotion was still there, but there was ayer of ice.


    And now... Cristian had probably almost defeated thisyer of ice.


    Thinking about this, Anna nodded.


    -I know.


    Then, she turned and went out again, and Arianna quickly pulled her back, -Are you that calm? Serena


    and Mr. Cristian... is there...something between them?


    -Arianna, can''t you see that you are so gossipy, even asking about your boss?


    -Oh, I''m just curious.


    -Are you really curious, or are you interested in Cristian? Anna narrowed her eyes. It was not her


    malicious spection. Cristian''s charm was too great, who could resist his allure?


    As soon as Arianna heard this, her eyes widened and she said, "You think too much. He is not my ideal


    type at all."


    -Oh, what is your ideal type like?


    Your ideal type?


    Arianna did not have an ideal type, but Mirko suddenly appeared in her mind.


    She quickly shook her head, "Damn, how could I have thought of him at this moment, how terrible!"


    -Anna was curious.


    -Who else is there but that ugly ghost Mirko,‖ Arianna touched her face, -He''s really a persistent spirit,


    and he''s good for haunting me all the time.


    Looking at her like that, Anna could finally confirm that she had no intention with Cristian. She stroked


    Arianna meaningfully, "Congrattions, you have sessfully walked into his trap."
