Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

She bit her lower lip, her heart twitching like a knife.

She turned her head to leave, only to run into Livia, who had returned, and their eyes met, Livia’s eyes held a little, probably because she had heard Michela and Genara’s conversation earlier.

Angelica pursed her lips and took a step forward, just before Livia grabbed her by the wrist and ran downstairs.

The two stopped in an unlit corner, with Livia’s back to them.

“Livia?”

Angelica looked back at her and could not help but approach her and lean on her shoulder, addictively, “When are you going to finish studying? We haven’t had dinner together in ages, I miss you so much Livia.”

Those soft, sticky words made Livia’s heart leap, and she had been avoiding Angelica for some time, not because she hated her, but because Michela and Genara always picked on her if she stayed with her for long, and only recently had she recovered from the facial injury of some time ago.

But after a while, Livia felt free to be alone, so she stopped thinking about being with Angelica, and today she did not expect Angelica to come back so soon.

It was a bit awkward for the two to meet, but she was afraid that Angelica would talk and be overheard by the two, so just as she was about to speak, Livia pulled her away and ran off.

Thinking about it, Livia avoided Angelica’s inclination and then turned her head.

“Our studies will probably become more intense, I’ve been working a lot lately and realized that many of the subjects I didn’t know before can be quite easy, my mom works a lot and always wants me to get good grades so I can’t slow down.”

At the end of the sentence, Livia’s words became slow: “I’m sorry.”

“Ah, it’s okay.” Angelica shook her head with relief and reassured Livia in passing, “Auntie definitely wants you to do well, so do your best and when you get good grades, we’ll have dinner together and I won’t bother you.”

“Well, how are you?”

“Good, all right.”

“Well then, I remembered I left something in the library, why don’t you go up first.”

“Ah, what did you leave? Why don’t I go with you?”

“No.” Livia quickly shrugged her off, as if by reflex, “I will go alone.”

The smile in Angelica’s eyes disappeared, “Well, be safe.”

“Yes.”

After Livia left, Angelica looked over her shoulder for a long time, her hands falling to her sides, biting her lower lip as she tugged at the corner of her coat.

I don’t know if it was just her, but she always had the impression that Livia had been avoiding her lately, had she done something wrong?

No, no, Livia and she had known each other for a long time, since we were children, her mother had high expectations of her for the future, so Livia herself was under pressure, it was best to wait until she finished her exams.

With this in mind, Angelica quickly broke free again, resumed her smile and turned to go back to her dormitory.

Fearing that she would hear those unpleasant words again, Angelica made a deliberate noise when she returned so that the people inside the dormitory could hear her, and when she pushed the door open none of them spoke, but they looked toward her when they heard the sound.

“Angelica?”

“Angelica you’re back, why did you come back so early today, didn’t you go for a run?”

The two asked her excitedly, as if the person who had just said something bad was not theirs at all, and Angelica realized for the first time that people could be so pretentious and hypocritical in the extreme.

Thinking about it, she did not respond and went straight in.

Genara and Michela looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

Angelica’s personality was not one of those things like I don’t like you but I have to pretend to smile with you for the sake of a relationship, no, she simply could not do that.

She immediately went to get her clothes and then got ready to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

When she came out of the shower, Genara was standing guard at the door.

“Finished washing Angelica, shall we go for a barbecue tonight? Michela and I are buying.”

In response to their gesture of affection, Angelica stiffly replied, “No.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Genara was stunned, “Why?”

“Have you forgotten that I am on a diet? I don’t eat barbecues, you can go by yourselves.”

– Exactly, I completely forgot. But after all, you follow the diet all the time, so sometimes you can afford to eat something harmful, from once there will be nothing.”

Angelica, drying her hair, walked past Genara without even looking at her.

She walked past her, inconspicuously.

“Angelica, I’m serious. Do you not believe me? Maybe then you’ll just order yourself a salad? After all, salads are always allowed on a diet.

Angelica turned her head, her eyes fell on her face, and said seriously, “I told you, I’m not going.”

Genara froze and did not say another word.

It was Michela who walked over and leaned against Angelica’s bed, “Are you having a tantrum? What kind of tantrum? Because of what we said about the gift?”

Angelica: “No.”

Angelica didn’t want to help them with the gift thing, but she didn’t think it was wrong to like someone, so she wasn’t angry with them.

What made her angry was the fact that they were talking about her like that behind her back, clearly despising her, but being really hypocritical in pleasing her for her brother.

She was not just angry, she was disgusted.

She didn’t want to hang out with people like that very much and make friends.

Michela was undeterred, “So why are you angry? Genara was kind enough to invite you to a barbecue, right? What do you mean by that attitude?”

Genara blushed slightly and stepped forward to pull Michela back, “Stop it, if she doesn’t want to come, forget it.”

After that, Genara said, “Angelica, it’s okay if you don’t want to go to the barbecue, it’s about losing weight, but it’s my birthday soon, you have to come to my birthday party.”

Birthday.

Invite her on her birthday?

Angelica looked up at her.

And Genara’s words reminded Michela that they still needed to use her, so she swallowed her anger and forced a smile.

“Forget it, if you don’t want to go, we won’t force you, we’ll have the barbecue on our own, but you have to come to the birthday party, we’re all in the same dorm. And it’s Genara’s birthday it would be very sad if you refuse her.”

Angelica: “… sad?”

“Yes, after all, Genara is very fond of you and would like to invite you to her birthday party.”

If Angelica had not heard them talking about her behind her back, she might have believed it, now the more they made it sound nice, the more inches of disgust Angelica felt in her heart.

She did not say a word.

“Well? Are you coming?”

Both of them were cautious because they feared she would not go after noticing that Angelica had become bad at talking.
