Chapter 70: Let’s make a bet
“Serena, what… does that mean?” The smile on Alice’s lips turned stiff, “I had no other intention. Don’t you believe me?”
“Yes I believe you!” Serena shook her head, “How could I doubt you?”From NôvelDrama.Org.
She was just worried that Alice was too close to Cristian, which would hurt her. After all, she always thought that… Cristian’s words should not be a joke.
Moreover, the stories about him might be false.
His disability may be real, but his helplessness was probably just a rumor.
After all, the touch on her hands in the morning was real.
“Serena, if you trust me, why do you say these things?” Alice’s expression became embarrassed, and she lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “Was it the owner’s words that made you misunderstand? But I have already told you that she is only joking. If you don’t believe me, I’ll bring Gabriel to tell you next time.”
Serena did not speak, looking at her frowning. She wanted to explain, but didn’t know where to start.
Alice thought she didn’t believe, so she quickly pulled her cell phone out of her bag.
“I’m calling Gabriel now!”
Serena held her hand, and Alice stopped, raising her head.
“Don’t call him. I trust you. It’s just that…” How could she say she was worried that Cristian was the person with other intentions instead of her?
“What?” Alice asked when she saw she was hesitant to continue.
Serena bit her lower lip anxiously, “I don’t know how to explain it to you, but Alice, aren’t we best friends? Trust me. Stay away from him!”
Alice’s expression sank, “Serena, do you like him now?”
Serena stopped her breath, “What did you say?”
“If you don’t like him, why are you telling me to stay away from him? Besides, I didn’t even get close to Cristian. Now you seem really possessive of the man you like.”
Serena’s eyes widened. Did she like Cristian? Impossible, he always said cruel words. She was just preventing Alice from being hurt by Cristian, nothing else.
“It’s not like that! But I don’t know how to explain it to you!”
“No need to explain.” Alice turned her head without looking at her again, but she was obviously in a bad mood, “Serena, I thought we were best friends. Trust is the most basic thing. I helped you on so many things, but you instead think I have intentions about Cristian, don’t you?”
Serena’s face paled, and she took Alice’s hand, “Alice, I trust you, and I don’t think you have any intentions about Cristian. It’s just that…”
Alice sighed suddenly, then took her hand and whispered softly, “Who do you think I went out to have breakfast with them for? I’m doing it for you.”
“For me?”
“Even if you get divorced in six months, but now you still carry his wife’s name and live in his house. I hope you can have a good relationship with Cristian. Serena, do you understand my real intentions?”
Serena was surprised.
“I hope you can be safe and sound for the last six months in their home. We are best friends. Do you understand?”
“Alice… sorry.” Serena did not expect her to be thinking for her. She thought that at most she had invited Cristian and Leonardo out of politeness. She did not know that this gesture had a deep meaning like that, while she herself only wanted her away from Cristian. She thought the owner’s words were harsh and felt sorry that she had said such a thing to Alice.
Serena felt uncomfortable, and her face unconsciously blushed, “Alice, I’m not blaming you. I too have difficulties to tell you… to stay away from him.”
“All right, I understand you and it’s not all your fault, but… don’t stop me from helping you, okay?” Alice gently persuaded her, while Serena did not know how to refuse, so she could only nod.
“Then let’s go back now. Don’t let them wait too long.”
“Yes.”
After returning, Serena and Alice sat separately.
After all, Serena was Cristian’s wife, so she had naturally sat next to him. As soon as she touched the chair, Cristian’s cold voice came.
“So nervous as to discuss countermeasures with your friend?”
Serena’s movements froze on hearing this and she turned to look at the man.
Cristian turned his head slightly. His gaze caught her face with precision, and said lifting his lips, “It’s no use.”
Serena’s face turned pale and did not respond to Cristian’s words.
“Your friend, she obviously wants to seduce me. Can you believe it?”
Serena ignored him, while Cristian continued. His tall body tilted slightly in front of her, and his thin lips rested on her whispering ears. Heat was still exhaled on her neck creating an itch.
Serena’s body trembled, trying to avoid it, but Cristian grabbed her wrist.
“If you don’t believe us, we can make a bet.”
Bet? Serena blinked slightly, biting her lip, and said, “This thing is impossible, so I don’t need to bet with you, bore!”
“Heh.” Cristian continued, “If you lose, have an abortion.”
Serena’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her hands hidden under the table gripped, and she said gritting her teeth : “It’s not possible!”
“Why? Scared?”
There was a touch of sarcasm and contempt in Cristian’s voice, and Serena straightened her back, “This kind of bet is too boring. I disagree.”
“You don’t decide it. After all, if between the friend and the mutt you can only choose one, who do you think you would choose?”
Serena: “… Cristian, don’t exaggerate.”
“You promised me to keep the baby and stay in the Ferrari family and we signed a contract and we are getting divorced in six months. Alice has nothing to do with it. Why do you have to involve her?”
Serena was very angry. Alice thought so much for her, but Cristian asked her to choose between the baby and Alice.
“Since the game has started. I will decide the rules. From the moment you married me instead of your sister, your fate is already prescribed. You still don’t know what position you are in?”
Serena gritted her teeth, her nails silently sinking almost into the flesh.
“What are you talking about?” Seeing the two of them talking so close together, Leonardo smiled and asked jokingly, “Cristian, you have a very good relationship with your wife.”
Hearing this, Serena unconsciously turned away from Cristian, thinking that no one would want a good relationship with such a perverted man.
Cristian grabbed her arm and smiled mischievously at Leonardo’s kind look, “Yes, thanks to you brother that I can marry such a pretty woman.”
