Chapter 38: Finally a clue
Alice’s voice was not low. Through the cell phone, it seemed quite abrupt in the silent room.
Since it was a secret, Serena unconsciously covered the cell phone and looked toward the direction of the bathroom, where there was only the sound of water.
They probably couldn’t hear her talking on the phone?
Thinking of this, Serena coughed and put the cell phone back to her ear, and then nodded, “Yes, I just sent you a message. Did you read it?”
“Yes I saw it. You said you found a button. Maybe it was from the man, right?”
“Yes, have you found anything lately?”
“No, you didn’t give me any clues. I’m looking for a man like looking for a needle in the sea. Since you found a button, send me a picture.”
“Okay.”
Alice sighed, “How are you? Is that Cristian still bothering you?”
“No, we decided I can stay here for six months and then leave.”
“This man is very smart. After six months your belly could no longer be hidden. But since it will be winter, and you are also thin. Wearing bigger and wider clothes can also cover you belly.”
“Yes.”
“All right, send me a picture.”
After hanging up the phone, Serena opened the camera on her cell phone, and took a picture of the gold button held on her palm. As soon as she sent the photo, a sound came from behind her.
Serena was startled, and her hands shook, leading the button fall to the floor, which rolled under Cristian’s bed.
Serena could only let the button sprawl directly away, not having the slightest courage to get up to catch it.
She turned around and saw that Cristian was pushed out of the bathroom by Luca.
Serena bit her lower lip and turned pale.
Cristian glanced at her, but seeing her sitting there pale and holding her cell phone worriedly. He narrowed his eyes dangerously, staring at her.
Under his dark gaze, Serena sweated nervously on her forehead.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
She could not hide her thoughts at all, as if the ideas were written on her face. While Cristian was very good at learning other people’s thoughts, so he knew immediately that the woman had something hidden.
But he ignored her.
“Sir, I’ll be leaving then.”
“Yes.”
After Luca left, Cristian turned his wheelchair toward the window, and picked up a financial magazine.
Serena watched this scene in a dazed state.
Cristian was wearing blue pajamas, which made him look calmer, allowing him to become colder and harder to approach. His firm lines, thin, tight lips, and that pair of dark eyes were as if deliberately outlined by painters’ pen.
“Do I look good??”
Stunned, she suddenly received a cold voice.
Serena saw that Cristian slowly raised his head, and the gaze of his dark eyes met hers all at a sudden.
It was so awkward to be caught when looking at someone.
Serena coughed slightly and shifted her gaze.
A moment later, she realized that she shouldn’t be like this. She should have thought about that button instead, which was under Cristian’s bed. How can she retrieve it?
Serena did not have the courage to go for a bath, for fear that Cristian would find out.
However, even if he discovered, she was not afraid of him.
But Serena had a guilty conscience!
So Cristian did not sleep, and Serena was always sitting next to him and watching him unknowingly.
After a while, Cristian was impatient with the woman’s gaze, and closed the magazine. Serena was taken aback and quickly shifted her gaze.
Cristian turned the chair coming in her direction.
Seeing this, Serena stood up.
“I’m going to take a shower.”
Dropping these words, Serena rushed to the bathroom before he arrived.
At that moment she no longer cared about that button. She only knew that Cristian’s dark eyes frightened her, and she felt the need to quickly hide in the bathroom.
Opening the shower head, Serena pulled out her cell phone to check, and saw an ‘OK’ sent by Alice, indicating she just needed to wait for the news. She put the cell phone aside and began to take a bath.
Serena thought that by taking slower, Cristian would be asleep when she got out, and she could look for the button under the bed.
After making this decision, Serena concentrated on the shower.
But when it was over, Serena discovered something much worse than that button under the bed.
… She forgot to bring her clothes inside!
She ran too fast, and didn’t remember to take her pajamas. The clothes that she took off was wet, and she could no longer put them on. Serena wanted to cry but was tearless and soon discovered that there was a towel she could use.
She could wrap herself with the towel but did not dare to go outside.
Cristian’s impression of her was very bad.
If she came out with a bath towel, he would surely think that she was seducing him.
So Serena had to stay in the bathroom waiting for almost half an hour. Until she was almost asleep, she sneaked out of the bathroom thinking that the man was already asleep.
It was quiet outside and there seemed to be no one there.
Cristian, maybe he had already gone to sleep, right?
Serena headed forward barefoot.
“Divorcee.” A cold voice came from the side, and Serena was shocked looking at him incredibly.
“You, you haven’t gone to sleep?”
“Ah.” Cristian’s thin lips sneered “Do you have amnesia? How will I sleep if you don’t help me?”
Serena was too ashamed, but pointed to herself “I help you? To go to bed?”
“What are you saying?” Cristian frowned, and his eyes fell on her.
After bathing, her skin was delicate, her face was rosy, and even that pair of beautiful eyes were like crystals.
The towel covered the intimate parts of her body, but made her look even more attractive.
The fine, long legs rested in front of him without preparing. She probably did not expect him to be there, or was he even deliberately planning it?.
“Come here,” said Cristian.
Serena became nervous in an instant.
She only had a towel on, and he asked her to go to him?
“Wait for me!” Serena took a step to get changed, but she did not expect Cristian would insist.
“Are you deaf? I told you to come here!”
