Virginity in second marriages novel Chapter 422

Serena wrapped the ruler around his waist. Hearing this question from him, the movement of her hand was followed by a pause.

She made a grimace in her mind,tightening the ruler more.

Hate?

What made her think she would hate him?

Did he deserve it?

-Mr. Cristian was joking. You are my client, how could I hate you?" Serena pretended not to understand, trying to get out of it with a casual remark.

However, Cristian's forehead wrinkled deeply.

-Is that so?

His voice was light, emotionless. -Then can you be a little nicer?"

Serena realized she had tightened her grip on the ruler much more. She strangled it around Cristian's waist. It almost deformed his waist.

-I'm sorry!

She withdrew her hand. A thin layer of cold sweat added to his pale forehead.

Serena lowered her eyes. She bit her lip in disgust: how could she lose her rhythm like that?

The air fell into an awkward silence as Serena wrote down the measurements. Then she picked up the tape measure and stepped back. She took the paper and wrote down all the measurements she had just taken. So she would not forget them later.

Cristian stood behind her, looking at her small squatting figure.

-If you don't hate me, why do you treat me like a stranger?

Serena's pen tilted slightly as she wrote. She did not respond. Instead, she took notes one stroke at a time. When she finished recording, she put the paper away.

Then she stood up to face Cristian.

-My work is done, Mr. Cristian. Thank you for your cooperation today. I have some things to do. So I'm leaving now.

Serena turned around. Ready to leave the place.

Serena's pulse was suddenly held by him.

What is he doing?

-Do you hate me that much? Don't you want to be with me even for a moment?

For some reason, Serena could feel a hint of self-deprecating pain in his words. Had she heard wrong?

How could it be!" Today is the end of the week-he really doesn't have anything else to do."

She tried to push her hand away a little.

But Cristian squeezed her wrist tighter. The force was too much. Serena frowned in pain. She turned away.

-If it wasn't a holiday. If you didn't have other things to do, would you be willing to stay with me a little longer?

Serena was speechless.

What on earth does he want to do? Of course he said he was married, but why was he acting so pathetic now?

Did he want to lure her into a trap? Did he want to hurt her once again by abandoning her as he had done before?

Serena's gaze became very, very cold when she thought about that possibility.

She wanted to pull her hand away, but Cristian continued to hold on to it. -Mr. Cristian I really have other things to do. Please let me go."

-No. For the first time, Cristian was like a petulant child. He looked at her with hurt eyes. -Do you want me to explain?

What? Serena stood in doubt for a moment: listen to his explanation?

Explain what? About what happened five years ago?

Her face turned white. After a moment Serena laughed awkwardly. -Mr. Cristian, I don't think ... you have anything to explain to me.

Don't you? Cristian let out a laugh. The smile was full of self-mockery. -You don't want to listen to my explanations, but what if I don't want to let you go?

Serena was without.

She pushed him away forcefully, then got up from the couch, slapped him on the back of the head, and then said in a cold voice. -I hope this is the last time. Don't treat me with such disrespect anymore. Then I prefer to destroy the contract. I will never work with you again.

This time Serena did not give him another chance to respond. Instead, she grabbed her bag and got up to leave.

Looking behind him, Cristian had a puzzled expression on his face.

He thought carefully about what she had just said. And then, little by little, he understood those words.

This stupid woman.

She thought about what he had said about being married. Was he already married to another woman? Was that why he had reacted so violently?

Thinking about it, Cristian reached out his hand and touched his face where he had slapped her.

It really hurt.

She had suffered a lot.

She could have been really ruthless. But she was angry.

For the moment, Cristian took it as if she was jealous. That's why she hit so hard.

Suddenly, Cristian thought of something else. Then he narrowed his eyes.

That woman, did she really not know that they were not yet divorced? Right now, at the top of the registry of the Office of Civil Affairs. They were still married.

From the time they had met until now, Cristian had always thought he knew. But he had not expected it... He shouldn't have known it given the way he was acting today.

Who had kept it from him?

Serena went in and came out about half an hour later. The men outside were very kind to her.

-Miss Shelly, take care of yourself. You are welcome to come back next time.

-Miss Shelly, be careful on your walk.

Serena stepped on her high heels, feeling so dumb.
