Chapter 71: Why didn’t he unmask me?
Leonardo was surprised, and after a moment laughed weakly.
“Cristian, are you blaming me for supporting your marriage to grandfather?”
What? Serena was shocked that Cristian’s marriage was supported by Leonardo?
Cristian sneered and did not answer again.
“You are no longer young. Besides, you have a leg injury. You should find someone to take care of you. I knew about the daughters of the Gallo family, so I had supported this marriage. Cristian, for you I have only good intentions.”
At first, Serena was just surprised that Cristian’s marriage was actually supported by Leonardo, but after hearing this, Serena’s face suddenly became fearful and she looked at Leonardo.
Knew about the daughters of the Gallo family? Didn’t that mean… he knew that she was not Aurora?Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Thinking about it, Serena suddenly remembered that he had even called her by her name before!
She didn’t notice at the time, because she was used to being called Serena, so….
Thinking so far, Serena was already full of sweat.
She looked at the man sitting across from her with a gentle smile and kind eyes: he had known her identity long ago, but he had never unmasked her, and he could still talk and laugh with her as if nothing happened.
Such a man… such a man….
The more Serena thought about it, the colder her back became and the sweat dripped from her forehead.
“Are you okay?” Leonardo, who noticed her face, frowned and asked worriedly, “Do you look sick? Are you feeling okay?”
His eyes were as kind as ever and his voice was as gentle as the wind.
But such a man…
Serena bit her lower lip, feeling cold all over.
Cristian also noticed her reaction and unconsciously frowned, “Divorcee, what’s wrong with you?”
Serena’s lips moved and she said tremblingly, “No, nothing.”
“Nothing but you sweat so much?” Cristian stared at her unhappily. This woman was used to lying or treating him for blind. She kept retorting even though it was so obvious she was not well.
Serena unconsciously wiped the sweat on her forehead with hands that trembled slightly, “My stomach hurts suddenly.”
“Serena, are you okay?” Alice stood up and asked worriedly when she saw that her face lost its color.
Everyone was looking at her, which made Serena even more nervous.
Suddenly, she bit her lower lip.
“I’m just … a little uncomfortable, or I’ll be back early.”
Having said that, Serena stood up and walked straight out without saying anything. Everyone’s eyes were falling doubtfully on her back.
After taking two steps, Serena suddenly stopped, and then looked at Alice.
Alice simply stood up, but Cristian brought his wheelchair forward and said, “Since my wife is not feeling well, you continue the breakfasts and I will drive her home.”
Alice paused.
Leonardo smiled slightly, “No problem, then come back earlier. Be careful on the way.”
“Okay, okay…” stammered Serena and then looked at Alice worriedly. Alice was depressed, but greeted her anyway, “It’s okay, don’t worry about me. Come back to rest.”
“Okay.”
After leaving, Serena walked to the front and was about to go down the stairs as Cristian stopped her, “Divorcee.”
Serena stopped and looked at him puzzledly.
“Come.”
Serena obediently advanced like a manipulated doll, “What is it?”
Cristian suppressed his anger, “There are stairs in front of me.”
Hearing this, Serena turned her head and looked at him, “I know. What’s the problem?”
“What is the problem? Yes, of course, what problem could there be?” Cristian sneered, “I didn’t know my wife wanted to kill me? Huh?”
Only then did Serena reacted it. The front stairs were not a problem for her, but Cristian could not go down the stairs at all since he was sitting in a wheelchair.
Thinking about this, Serena stepped forward and pushed him, “Sorry, I was thinking about something, and I forgot. Let’s go to the elevator.”
Serena pushed Cristian toward the elevator. Her trembling fingers calmed down already. The air out here was really fresh, in the same room with Leonardo made Serena feel very stressed.
Suddenly she thought that Leonardo might seem kind only on the surface, but the real character….
One could not imagine.
“You’ve been hesitating to speak since before and trembling with fear. Have you discovered something extraordinary?” Cristian, suddenly asked in a cold voice.
“No, no.” Serena shook her head, “My stomach was hurting, and now… it’s much better.”
She had not decided whether to tell Cristian about this matter. After all, Cristian was like a bomb. It could go off at any time in the future.
Serena was just thinking that if Leonardo really knew her identity. Why didn’t he tell Alessandro?
It was obvious that he should be on the same side as his grandfather.
Leonardo, was he an enemy or a friend?
“A woman who does not even know how to hide her emotions from strangers. Is she really trying to lie?”
Cristian’s mocking tone came, causing Serena’s expression to change, and she gritted her teeth.
The elevator arrived, and Serena pushed Cristian inside.
There were only the two of them in the small space. Serena’s breathing was uneven, and finally she could not help but ask, “Why did you… why did you want to investigate Aurora?”
Hearing, Cristian raised his lips.
“Can’t you hold back anymore?”
He thought she was calm.
Serena frowned, “What do you mean?”
“Afraid that others will know your identity?”
Serena clenched her fist. He had investigated Aurora at first, so he had discovered her on the night of the wedding. Leonardo also said he had investigated, so he also knew about this fact.
Leonardo did not seem to be stupid.
And so… did he purposely reveal this information to Serena?
“Leonardo said earlier that he knew about Aurora before the wedding, so…”
“Heh.” Cristian sneered, “Now it’s too late.”
Serena widened her eyes, and the volume of her voice increased slightly.
“Cristian, did you know from the beginning that Leonardo knew I was not Aurora?”
“If not?”
“So… so why didn’t he unmask me?” Serena bit her lower lip and could not believe it. Cristian knew she was leaving in six months, but Leonardo did not, and he could continue to greet her as usual, stroking her head, and saying words that warmed her heart.
What… was going on?
