    The mother and son hid under the covers looking at the diamond ring.


    -Very beautiful, isn''t it?

    When Manuel raised his head, he saw Serena''s gaze full of anticipation and desire, and her lips broke


    into a soft smile that was sincere and pristine.


    Manuel and his mother had lived together for many years, his mother smiled at him often, but those


    smiles were different from today.


    As a child, apparently, he did not know better.


    Therefore, he could not finish saying what he wanted to, and then mumbled resentfully.


    -Mom, it''s very easy for you to be satisfied with what you have," he said.


    "Is it very easy for me to be satisfied with what I have?" Those words reverberated in her head.


    Serena did not think so, and she felt that as long as Cristian could give those details, that was enough.


    -I''m marrying a man, that''s all.


    -But, mother, you have already suffered so much.


    A moment of silence.


    Serena thought for a long time and felt that this little boy still didn''t understand adult emotions, she


    pinched his little nose, -Anyway, I don''t know how to exin things to you right now, but remember that


    your mother does everything voluntarily.‖


    -Okay, okay, Mom... If they hurt you, you have to tell me, and I will punish those bad guys for you!


    As Cristian was about to enter the room, he heard what she had said, so his footsteps stopped, then he


    went out and stood in a corner by the door with a depressed expression on his face.


    This little boy''s hostility toward him....


    It was very strong!


    *


    Serena had stayed at the Antic mansion for two days, had not gone to thepany, had done


    nothing but eat and sleep all day. When she saw herself again in the mirror, she had found that her


    face looked sebaceous and round.


    She pinched her waist and began to worry.


    "Should I lose weight?" she whispered in her mind.


    When she was in distress, Matthew called out to her.


    -Serena was a little surprised and a little nervous at the same time, considering that Matteo had taken


    the initiative to call her at this hour, she imagined that there was something wrong because Matteo had


    not given her the residence book when she hade home and asked for it a few days ago.


    Matteo''s faint voice came from the other end of the phone.


    -Have you been with Cristian these days?


    Serena tried to distinguish whether he was angry or happy through his tone, but after thinking about it


    for a long time, she found that he could not....


    He sounded angry, but he gave the impression of being calm, and if he was, it was unlikely because it


    was very rare for him to act so calm and indifferent.


    -Yes...


    Serena nodded honestly and admitted it.


    -Do you like him that much? You couldn''t even forget him for five years, what must it be?


    -Brother, I...


    -Think hard and answer me.


    Serena took a deep breath and said directly without even thinking about it, -Brother, if I could have, I


    would have forgotten him five years ago and now I am with him, and that is the best exnation.... The


    rest I don''t think I need to exin further.


    Through the phone, Serena could almost feel her helplessness when Matthew heard what she said.


    Although she knew it might make her brother sad, but ... for these things to flow well, he had to speak


    quickly.


    If she had not anticipated it and said nothing, she would only have been carried away by Matthew''s


    thoughts, believing that she could still convince her.


    In fact, after she had finished speaking, the other side of the phone had gone silent.


    Serena was in no hurry, thinking that since he would not hang up the phone, she would wait quietly.


    She did not know how much time had passed before Matteo finally spoke in a voice of deep


    resignation.


    -When will the wedding take ce?


    -Brother?


    Did she think she heard wrong?


    Matteo asked her when she would get married, did that mean she agreed?


    -What? -Matthew said, -Are you not going to have a wedding?


    -Of course there''s going to be a wedding,‖ Serena quickly shook her head, -I heard Cristian said the


    wedding will take ce next month, I''m just quite surprised that you''re giving permission so soon.


    -What do you want me to say? You are my only sister. If you really have to be with him, do you think I


    really want to leave you single for life to separate from him? Cristian''s words had really reminded him


    that this man had been alone for a long time, and he was used to that, so he could live a bachelor life


    forever.


    But his sister was different.


    She had experienced love and could not forget this man. If he had let her live in solitude, or marry


    someone she didn''t like, wouldn''t that have been mortifying?


    Rather than letting her suffer forever, it would have been better to let her try this time.


    This time Cristian had gambled everything on it, and he, as an older brother was willing to give him that


    chance.


    Serena suddenly did not know what to say, she felt a small urge to cry. She had not expected Matteo to


    ept so easily. After all, he had always humored her.


    -She bit her lower lip to suppress the sadness in her heart and reluctantly thanked Matteo.


    Then she heard a softugh on the other end of the phone, mixed with a helpless voice, and her tone


    was full of cuddles.


    -You are the only daughter of the Giordano family. If you suffer after you marry him, the Giordano family


    will always be your support, no matter when or where, you know that, right?


    -Yes!" Serena nodded vigorously.


    -I''m going to a meeting, I have to go, remember to let me know when you set the wedding date.


    Serena nodded and hung up after saying goodbye to Matteo.


    She looked at herself in the mirror, tears slid down her cheeks, after all, she could not stifle the emotion


    buried in her heart. But soon Serena reached out to wipe away the tears, then curved her lips to the


    mirror in a smile.


    Her brother ... was okay with her being with Cristian.


    It was the happiest thing to receive his blessing!


    *


    Since Matteo had allowed them to marry, Serena waspletely indifferent. However, even if Matteo


    agreed, he was still unwilling to give her the residency booklet saying that he had to wait until she and


    Cristian celebrated the marriage, and then he would go to the registrar''s office to have it notarized


    again.


    Serena did not mind this. However, her older brother already agreed, and she didn''t care much about


    this authentication.


    Speaking of Cristian, he had been so busytely that you couldn''t even see his hair.


    At first, he simply didn''t show up for two or three days, and then he didn''t even show up for a week.


    Serena was a little annoyed, but thinking that he was the one organizing the wedding, she did not take


    him too seriously.


    The wedding venue had been chosen abroad, so Cristian often took the ne to go to the venue in


    person, but he still did everything he could to be able toe home to apany Serena, staying


    awake for ten hours without sleep.


    Muchter, Serena noticed that his dark circles were getting worse and worse and began to worry.


    -If you keep doing this, I''m afraid you will die of exhaustion before you marry me.


    After he finished speaking, he used his fingertips to touch the dark circles around Cristian''s eyes and


    his chin where he was growing a little goatee: -Look at you now...‖


    Cristian had heard what she said and couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows-what, if you still don''t want to


    marry me, then you start rejecting me?
