Chapter 1504 - The plot


    When she told Manuel, she said it in a very serious way.


    But when she went back, Serena regretted it, wondering if she had said too much, since Manuel was


    still a child, even though he knew how to behave.


    So when she came back, Serena was worried that Manuel was thinking too much about her.


    The more she thought about it, the more her head got confused, when Cristian took a bath andy on


    his side, snuggled up behind her and buried himself in the crook of her neck.


    "Why aren''t you sleeping?"


    His voice was low and the warm breath he exhaled as he spoke fell on Serena''s neck, warming and


    tickling her, and his hands were undisciplined as he spoke, lifting the hem of her dress.


    Before she could move it a few times, Serena pushed it away.


    "I''m not in the mood, don''t touch."


    Pushed away, Cristian was a little confused and tried to wrap his arms around her again, but he


    evidently sensed that Serena was not in the mood, so he quickly turned off the fire andy down by her


    side in a disciplined manner, no longer joking but nervously asking her.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Serena heard his voice and turned her head to look at him.


    At the sight of his face, a fire inexplicably rose within Serena and she snapped toward him


    questioningly, "Manuel, is that your son?"


    Cristian froze for a moment, then nodded, "Of course."


    "Then why do you always go against him? He''s just a child, and he was alone with me when he was


    little, you were somewhere when we were alone, and now you''vee along and you''re trying to


    monopolize me, what is he supposed to think?"


    Cristian did not expect her to lose her temper over this, and for a moment he thought of nothing good to


    say, so he could only look at her in silence.


    "One sentence, I''m your woman, and that changes everything?"


    "So what happened?" Cristian did not dare to answer her question and could only ask her to see what


    the problem is.


    "Do you dare to ask?" Serena thought of Manuel''s previous appearance and felt attacked for her, how


    cruel he must have been to say such things to a small child then.


    Even if those words were true, still they were cruel for a small child.


    She really regretted it now, she was really not a good mother.


    "You gave Manuel little love at first, you were not even involved when he was little. Then you appeared,


    and not only did you not give him fatherly love, you tried to take away even the motherly love he had."


    Cristian had never thought about it before, and now that Serena mentioned it, it came back to him. It


    was true, he had missed so many years of this mother-son time before, so many things he had not


    experienced together, and in front of his own child, he had momentarily forgotten what it meant to make


    up for it.


    "We are destined to spend our lives together, but what about Manuel? He missed his father''s love for


    so many years, and you''re going to make him miss his mother''s love for the rest of his life? Don''t do


    that to him, okay?


    It is a very real problem, but he is still a child, so let''s watch over him until he is an adult. And Lea,


    when they are adults, then they won''t worry about anything."


    At the end of his sentence, tears appeared in his eyes . When Cristian saw it immediately he felt painful


    in his soul, and gathered her into his arms.


    "Well, well, I will do whatever you say, I will give you all my time from now on."


    The discussion was closed, now his wife is the children were the most important thing for him, he must


    have responsibility for them as a parent.


    The children have no other choice, the parents could have them if they wanted, so they had to do their


    part as parents.


    Cristian decided that with Manuel and Lea there would be no more third children, and the couple would


    raise them to adulthood and then leave them alone.


    Then, he would rely only on his wife every day and see who would dare to control him.


    So the next day, Serena woke up and went to call Manuel, but when she opened the door, she found


    that Manuel was not home, and the maid said that Manuel had left early for school.


    Serena looked at the time and saw that it was an hour earlier than she usually went to school.


    Was it because of what she had saidst night that had upset Manuel?


    At this thought, Serena turned anxiously toward Cristian.


    Cristian knew what was on his mind and half-open his lips, before saying, "I''ll take care of it, don''t worry


    about it."


    "Then you take care of it and don''t be mean to Manuel."


    "Don''t worry."


    When Cristian came out, Serena was still worried but could not follow him, Lea was still sleeping, so


    she had to go back to her room and keep an eye on her.


    On the other hand, Manuel went to school very early.


    Serena thought he was angry, but he wasn''t, Manuel just thought that what Mom had saidst night


    made sense.


    Mom and Dad were the ones who would live their whole lives together, and he''s Lea was important to


    them, but in terms of first ce it was definitely their private life.


    He had argued with Dad earlier about Mom''s favors and really didn''t need that either, and for what had


    happenedst night he had been inspired in a big way.


    He had been wrong in his thinking before, why should hepete with Father for Mother''s favor?


    He is obviously Dad and Mom''s son, he can get favor from both of them, he just mistakenly thought


    that Dad would steal Mom from him, but now that he realized it, Manuel feels that he can enjoy the


    favor of both of them in the future.


    Why not?


    And this early start today was on purpose.


    Mommy must be worried about what happenedst night, but Lea has to sleep until a certain time


    every day, and Daddy doesn''t want Mommy to leave so early, so it''s just Daddy himselfing to him.


    Whates from her father today is definitely different from what came from her father yesterday.


    So it might make a lot of noise today.


    Thinking about it made Manuel happy.


    Surely Father could not have imagined that one day he would fall into his own hands?


    Before Cristian arrived, Manuel was already thinking of ways to torment Cristian.


    Instead of entering the school, he squatted near the school gate, looking at a small notebook, head


    down, actually counting time.


    He did not squat for long, he counted the time and then squatted three minutes earlier.


    Sure enough, three minutester, there was a pair of leather shoes in front of him.


    Sure enough, he hade.


    Manuel had a wry look in his eyes, but he did not look up.


    Until the man''s voice came from overhead.


    "What are you doing squatting here so early instead of going to school?"


    Manuel slowly looked up, the emotions that were usually present on that small face were absent today,


    reced by a pitiful look that belonged to a child.


    With one look, Cristian''s heart clenched at the sight.


    Although he had had fun with him before, he was his own blood child, and seeing him like this now

    made Cristian''s heart ache.
