Chapter 47: She had nothing
"No."
Cristian's gaze remained indifferent. The words he uttered were like a knife smeared with poison.
"I wish you won't embarrass me the next time you have an interview like that as my assistant."
Serena felt uncomfortable as she heard his comments again about her look, "Is it so important what I wear? Do you only care about how I look?"
"If a person doesn't even care his or her physical appearance, there's really no need to know they inner beauty."
Serena did not respond. She did not agree with his idea at all and intended to leave directly. But Cristian in a wheelchair caused her concern. Who would help him if he encountered any problems? Therefore she stood there, waiting for a long time. The saleswoman finally arrived and said to Cristian, "Sir, we have prepared everything that should fit the lady."
"Send them to this address." Cristian handed her his business card, which surprised the clerk when she took it, "The Ferrari family? You are?"
He nodded.
"Yes yes. I see."
In the northern city, most people knew the Ferrari family group.
"Can we leave now?" Serena no longer wanted to stay here, and asked if they had finished their conversation.
"Yes." And they left in a hurry.
Before leaving the store, Serena heard words from some clerks.
"Who is that woman? She made Mr. Ferrari spend so much money."
"I don't know. She seems to be a poor girl. I wish someone will be so kind to me."
"Why does Cinderella always find her prince? Is it impossible for us?"
Hearing these comments, Serena clenched her fingers. Did they resemble Cinderella and the prince?
Perhaps Serena really was Cinderella, because she had nothing and her parents did not love her. However, Serena clearly knew that Cristian was not her prince. Alice was telling the truth. For her who was pregnant and married for the second time, Cristian was more than dangerous.
Back at home.
Serena went up to the room while Cristian went to his study.
She had nothing to do and began to look for some information. Suddenly she remembered something, grabbed her cell phone and purse and left the house.
To the Gallo's house.
"Mom, why did you do the dishes I don't like? I'm not having dinner today!" Seeing the dishes that were different from her preferences, Aurora got up and left the table. Learning of her attitude, her mother quickly stopped her.
"Aurora, you are already very thin. Why are you still picky about food?"
"Mother, I'm not picky. The food you cooked is so bad that I can't eat them." Aurora went upstairs without saying another word.
"Aurora..." Her mother remained unresolved, sat down again and said in a low voice, "Let's have dinner first, then I'll bring her the dishes she likes."
Aurora's father, sitting across from her, was instead very angry, "You made her become too rule-less. Giulia, it's all your fault now that she has such horrendous behavior. Look how she is behaving. She doesn' have dinner, lunch... Let's just starve her."
Hearing these words, Giulia became angry, "Andrea, you can't talk like that. She is your daughter."
"Daughter? What good is a daughter like that? Her grades in school are bad. She doesn't help at all at home, but demands as well..." Saying this, Serena came to his mind. He sighed, "There's no telling how Serena is doing."
Julia became even more upset as he mentioned Serena's name.
"Is she going to be okay? She never calls us after she got married. I don't have the courage to call her either."
"Speaking of which, how can you get Serena to replace Aurora? She had just come home and divorced!"
"What are you saying? Are you blaming me now? Why didn't you say anything when I discussed it with you? Now you regret it?"
Andrea said nothing.
"You only know how to blame me. I don't love my daughter? But we only have two daughters. Serena got divorced already, and she probably can't find a good husband anymore. I can't let Aurora go the same way as her sister."
Andrea understood everything, which was why he didn't say anything.
The bell rang.
"It could be Aurora's boyfriend."
However, Giulia was slightly surprised when she opened the door, "Serena?"
Serena was embarrassed, "Mom."
"How come it's you?" Giulia initially thought it was Aurora's boyfriend, not expecting to see Serena, so she asked such a question without noticing.
Standing still, Serena was surprised to hear the words Giulia said, and was accompanied by a disappointed expression.
She was very embarrassed, looking like she should not be in this house.
After she married Cristian instead of Aurora, her parents... Did they begin to dislike her?
Even though she had not been home all this time, did they no longer welcome her?
Serena's eyes darkened, and she said in a low voice, "Mom, I come home to get my things."
Sensing that she was in a bad mood, Gulia realized that those words she said were not correct. Immediately, Gulia showed a kind smile and gently took her hand, "I didn't mean that. I thought it was Aurora's boyfriend. Have you had dinner? Come on. We just started dinner. Come on in."
Andrea saw her daughter enter the house, stood up and walked over to her.
"Serena? Have you had dinner? Sit down and let's eat together."
It had been a long time since Serena had not had dinner with her parents. With the familiar dishes and the smell of food, she became excited and nodded, "Okay."
She discovered that her sister was not there after sitting down.
"Where is Aurora?"
"Aurora doesn't want to have dinner," Andrea explained patiently.
Serena was a little surprised, "Is Aurora still picky about food?"
"Your sister is spoiled by your mother. Serena, eat some more. You seem to have lost weight. Are you okay -- in the Ferrari family?"
Talking about this fact, Andrea became sad.
"Sorry Serena, I shouldn't have made you marry instead of Aurora."
"Andrea, what are you saying?" said Giulia, "Everything has already happened by now. Let's talk about something else."
"Dad, I'm fine." Serena smiled sweetly. "The Ferraris are treating me well. Lately I've lost weight because I'm on a diet. The Ferrari family is famous in the northern city. I am already very lucky to marry such a man after my divorce."
Giulia was satisfied by these words, "Serena, it is correct to think so. It is a good result for you to marry Cristian and live in the Ferrari family."
