Time passed quickly. A week had already passed since the day Serena slapped Cristian. Serena also admitted in front of Alice that she had feelings for Cristian and wanted to accompany him in the future.
She gradually calmed down.
In the beginning, she probably was the one who thought too much and expected too much. And that was the reason why there were always conflicts between them. If she was able to be calmer, to face things more calmly, perhaps she and Cristian would be able to be a happy couple in the rest of time.
Serena finally figured it all out. Instead of bickering about everything, it was better to keep calm and try to be together with him peacefully. But Cristian was confused.
He was a very proud person who would never admit anything in front of Serena, plus he wasn't probably sure how Serena felt. At first he felt that she was the victim of their marriage, but then little by little...something had changed.
It was hard to tell more, though.
He would like to see her go out of her mind with jealousy, but who expected that the next day she would be unexpectedly quiet and greet him after she woke up.
And then she just went to the bathroom as if nothing had happened. She worked, ate and went home. Sometimes when she was duty off, she would went to shopping mall to learn more about sales techniques.
Cristian had noticed her behaviors.
"Has she gone crazy?" asked Cristian suddenly.
Luca, who was following him, paused for a moment and didn't understand the meaning of the question. Then, recovering himself, he asked in a low voice, "Are you by any chance talking about Mrs. Ferrari, Mr. Cristian?"
Annoyed, Cristian replied, "If not her, then who?"
"Eh..." mumbled Luca who was almost frightened.
Thinking back to the events of the past few days, Luca patted his head, "Mrs. Ferrari seems very normal, doesn't she?"
She had a very quiet tone when speaking with Cristian everyday. Even if Cristian tried to provoke her, she did not get angry as in the past, but rather kept exemplary calm. So, Luca could not help but think that everything was fine.
If two people treated each other with respect and consideration, they would probably end up having feelings for each other in the future.
Yes, all was very normal.
Cristian's gaze paused for a few moments. Yes, all was too normal. That was why it was strange.
"Normal?" asked Cristian doubtfully.
"Isn't it?" replied Luca after a moment's hesitation.
"...How stupid." It just seemed useless to talk to him, so Cristian closed his eyes and didn't take any more notice of him.
Luca thought about it for a while and asked, "Mr. Cristian, are you angry that Mrs. Ferrari doesn't argue with you anymore?"
Cristian remained silent.
Luca then grabbed his chin as if he was in contemplation, "After all, in the past she used to quarrel with you a lot, whereas lately she doesn't contradict you anymore. Haven't you gotten used to it yet?"
"Shut up," said Cristian.
Luca looked more than a little bewildered, but since Cristian told him to shut up, he dared not go on with the talk. But still beset by doubts, he thought about whether he should go and talk to Mrs. Ferrari.
Taking advantage of the fact that Serena went to make herself some coffee in the pantry, Luca approached her inconspicuously and asked her how things were going.
