Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 901: Don't you love me anymore?

Serena wanted to tell him the truth, but just when the words were on the tip of her tongue, Cristian suddenly stood up and said, -You just woke up, your mouth is probably dry.

After saying this, he got up and went to get water, leaving Serena staring at his frozen back. She felt that Cristian was purposely trying to avoid something.

However, she quickly convinced herself that she was wrong.

Serena lowered her gaze and rippled her already pale lips, thinking, "If Cristian is really avoiding, does that mean he has already been informed? In the hospital, nothing can be hidden. One word from the doctor and everything he had hidden for so long would be exposed to the light of day."

Soon after, Cristian brought her some water to drink.

Serena drank it in silence, feeling very apprehensive, not knowing what to say. At that moment, there was a knock at the bedroom door, and Beatrice entered, bringing a basket of fruit to visit her. Beatrice placed it on the table and greeted her tenderly, "Serena, how are you now?

Serena replied, "Aunt Beatrice, don't worry, I'm fine.

Cristian also greeted Beatrice, then stood up and gave her space to sit on the edge of the bed.

After taking her seat, Beatrice looked at Cristian. It did not take her a second to grasp the meaning of that look: they both wanted a private space to have a girl talk, and he took the excuse of going outside to make a phone call. Then he pulled out his phone and left the room.

Beatrice did not enter the topic until she was sure Cristian had left.

Seeing Beatrice peeking out the door and then back to her, Serena set aside the cup in her hand and asked anxiously, -Does he know yet?

-That's the same question I wanted to ask you,II Beatrice replied.

This answer made Serena stunned, because she did not expect Beatrice to be confused as well.

Suddenly, Beatrice asked her again, "What are you going to do?

If you are going to test him, then you must be ready to explain everything, clearly, and accept all possible consequences. Have you decided?

Serena lowered her gaze, stammering, "I... I never thought this would happen, it was all so unexpected....

Beatrice said, "So, you haven't decided yet, have you?

Actually, the situation is not that complicated.

There are only two possibilities left.

The first is: you already know but you are pretending.

The second is: you still have no idea.

If the first comes true, you know Cristian well and would be able to guess what action he would take next. If he still doesn't know, you can choose to continue to keep it from him.

Up to this point, both have remained silent. If Cristian had not gone too far at that moment, Serena would have let her tongue go. Until that moment, she no longer had the courage to do so, because the loss of opportunity cost her more.

Cristian returned with a bag of toiletries in his hand, and then took out the things one by one and put them away neatly.

Serena just stared at him, and suddenly he too looked at her, asking with concern, "Are you okay? Do you need me to call the doctor?

Seeing that there was nothing more to be done in the hospital, Beatrice decided to leave, partly because she did not want to be a figurehead.

She told Cristian, "Now that Serena is much better, I will take it easy. I expect you to take care of her, okay?

He nodded and said goodbye to her.

In the room, only Cristian and Serena remained, along with the eerie silence. Serena looked up and tried to say something to break the ice. At that moment, Cristian sensed that she had something to say, so he walked over to sit beside her.

Serena asked him how Magdalene was doing, since he had not heard from her in a long time. Serena still remembered the deal she had made with Magdalena at the hotel, but Magdalena ate her words, and pushed Serena down the stairs with bad intentions. It was Magdalena who had invalidated the agreement, so Serena no longer had to fulfill the agreed obligations.

-No idea. Vittorio took care of her," Cristian replied indifferently as he put the blankets back on her.

-Return a little more. She doesn't matter.

She hurt you so much, why do you still care about her? I won't let her come near you anyway, not once more," Cristian said condescendingly, but his eyes were full of tenderness as he stroked Serena's cheek with his hand.

Serena tilted her head to better feel the warmth of his hand, which covered her cheek with his large palm.

This movement of hers made Cristian's body stiffen and suddenly gave him a jolt of sadness. In fact, he had not left earlier to call, but to go to the doctor to find out if Serena was really pregnant. The doctor said yes very firmly. He also told him that she was already three months pregnant.

Cristian could not believe it, because she had appeared in his life only a month ago. It was impossible that the baby in her womb was Cristian's, at least he thought so.

She suddenly withdrew her hand. This action puzzled Serena. She asked Cristian what had happened to him. However, Cristian answered her with a certain indifference, "It's just that my hand is too cold, and I'm afraid that such coldness might make you uncomfortable.

It was true that his hands were cold from sailing outside, but Serena did not mind the cold but the affection conveyed by the caresses. Immediately, she shook her head negatively in denial and said, "Don't worry, I don't feel the cold.

-But the doctor says you have to rest well. Be a good girl. Go on, get some rest! -he said in an imperative tone as he arranged the pillow well to put her to bed. Serena was surprised by his reaction. However, he kept a very normal look and expression, so she convinced herself that she should not think too much about it. Just as Cristian was about to get up, Serena grabbed his wrist and shyly asked him, "If one day you found out something unexplained about me, what would you do?

As she waited for his answer, Serena's heartbeat sped up as if an engine was running out of control. She stared into Cristian's eyes, trying to find traces in his eyes, but she could not.

Such a repeated question left Cristian rather confused, he asked her, "What do you mean?" he leaned toward her and joked, "Are you with another man or don't you love me anymore? Serena was speechless at such a "humorous" joke.
