-All right,II said Vittorio, and then turned to Serena, -Take care, we'll see you again very soon.

Cristian's behavior left Serena in a dilemma. She too was embarrassed by his rude treatment of her friends.

When Vittorio and Laura left Serena, she told them alone, "I am very sorry for Cristian's behavior. It is not convenient for us to eat together today, it will be another day. When I get out of the hospital, I will invite you to lunch to show my gratitude.

Laura hugged Serena and whispered, "Don't worry, we all know Cristian's character. I'm already looking forward to that 'some other day.

Vittorio beside her nodded his head. Before leaving, Vittorio said nothing to Cristian but gave him a very plaintive look.

The room returned to its usual silence, consummating the previous nefariousness. Serena looked at Cristian and found the courage to say, "Don't be so cold, please! Treat others with a little more affection. Cristian frowned and asked, "Do you want me to be nicer to other women too?

Serena replied, "That's not what I mean.

Vittorio and Laura are our friends and deserve a little more of your affection.

At that moment, Cristian leaned toward her with one hand resting on the wall. His face was very close to Serena's as, in his low, uncertain voice, he said, -Wouldn't you like to have the only part of my affection? Of course, I would, but she was also very concerned that Cristian was too inaccessible to others.

She tried to advise him to change the way he treated people, saying, -Of course I do. But the fact is that your indifference scares girls away. Poor Laura... She hid because she was afraid of you. Cristian raised his eyebrows, showing that he did not care. He replied, -Did such indifference seem mean to you?

I'm fine with it. I would rather women be afraid of me than to bother me because they desire me.

What arrogant words! Serena felt uncomfortable with his attitude, so she replied, -Not all girls want, and Laura is even less likely to want you.

-What about you?" Cristian suddenly grabbed her chin and asked in a rough, extremely seductive voice. He moved closer to her and added, "Why did you want to approach me in the first place? Seeing such a beautiful and close face, Serena felt butterflies in her stomach, and became so nervous that she could hardly breathe.

She continued with her questions, "Are you just like those women who want to annoy me?

Serena froze for a long time. After recovering from her shock, she grabbed his hand that was on her chin as she asked the question, -What do you think?

Cristian paused and then whispered in her ear, _You are not like them...'.

Then his frantic, aggressive kisses covered Serena's face. She could not dodge them, as her head was held by Cristian's large hands and her lips by his. He, standing, she, sitting, was not a comfortable position for so many hot and lasting kisses. However, she did not mind the fatigue of the moment. She let herself get lost in the softness and tenderness of Cristian's lips.

The atmosphere became very erotic....

Cristian did not leave her lips until Serena was almost suffocated. However, he continued to look at her with eyes full of desire.

She, after regaining consciousness, patted his chest and warned him, "It's not right for you to kiss me like this. We are in a hospital, for God's sake!

-Ah?" said Cristian with a wicked laugh, "Are you ashamed or afraid I'm going to eat you here?

Serena blushed like a tomato and tried to push him away. However, Cristian hugged her tightly and his hand slowly descended to her belly.

Feeling his hand on her belly, Serena panicked and did not dare move. Thanks to her dressing trick, her belly could hide perfectly under her clothes, but if anyone touched her.... What if Cristian suspected her? Cristian's hand stopped there for only a few seconds, and then suddenly withdrew.

Serena so nervous that her face was pale, thinking about how to explain herself. However, Cristian teased her about her growing belly, calling her chubby.

Cristian thought she was in the mood to retort, and hastened to say in front of her, "The comfortable life has given you a few extra pounds. These days all you do is eat and sleep, just like a child. It is impossible for you to maintain a flat belly as before.

"Maybe Cristian is right, but the main reason for the bigger belly is his pregnancy. Good thing Cristian didn't find out about her pregnancy," Serena thought.

***

If Cristian had not been so persistent, she would have left the hospital a few days ago.

Cristian thought it was necessary for her to stay longer in the hospital for better recovery, while Serena could not bear the boredom of the hospital.

She did everything she could to get him to agree to her request not to extend her hospital stay too long. In the face of Serena's pleas, Cristian felt unable to force her.

Eventually, the two came to an agreement: to return home the day before New Year's Eve, because she did not want to miss such an important celebration.

Besides, spending New Year's Eve in the hospital was sentimental torture for her.

Beatrice often visited Serena. Sometimes Serena would ask her about the situation in the Calligaris family, but she would not touch this subject.

Finally, Serena's insistence forced her to tell her about the Calligaris family. Beatrice told her, "I know you are worried that the relationship between Cristian and his grandfather Angelo will deteriorate. But you also know that the reality doesn't change. They don't always get along.

Beatrice added, "Angelo is very manipulative and always expects Cristian to be obedient. Perhaps the deterioration of the relationship between them will be helpful to the development of your relationship with Cristian.

Still feeling uncomfortable, Serena asked, "What if Cristian regains his memory in the future and feels sorry for that?

Instead of answering her question, Beatrice asked, "Are you still under the illusion that Angelo will accept you being with Cristian?

Serena could not find the words to answer him.

Seeing that she was silent, Beatrice sighed and said, "Actually, from the moment you were kidnapped by Magdalena, I already had a conversation with Angelo, and I told him that you were pregnant, so he stopped complaining that Cristian spent so much time with you while leaving aside work matters. I think he is embarrassed about what Magdalena did. He will leave you alone for a long time.

-So, do you think Grandpa Angelo is planning something to hurt my baby?" asked Serena worriedly.

-I don't think so, at least not for the next few weeks. He is still very busy with Magdalena's business, so don't think too much," said Beatrice.

It seemed to Serena that Beatrice was right, so she stopped worrying too much. What was to come would come.

Serena could never have imagined that Manuel at that moment was packing his bags to leave the country.
