Magdalena left the Calligaris house in good spirits. She left just as Cristian returned. She was so excited that she greeted him immediately.
-Cristian, you are back. You came back very late because of work, are you tired today?
Cristian looked at her and said yes coldly. Then he walked past her without another glance.
Magdalene felt a strong breeze, and the hand she wanted to raise stopped awkwardly in midair. She clenched her fist in indignation. Very angry, she could even hear the grinding of her teeth.
After a while, she let go of her hand again and smiled to reassure herself.
"It's all right. I like his coldness.
That means he is very demanding. As long as I am engaged to him and choose an auspicious day to marry him, I am sure he will fall in love with me. I was not a normal girl. I had many tricks to perform."
When she thought of this, Magdalene felt better and left.
As usual, Cristian said goodbye to Angelo. As he prepared to go upstairs, to his surprise, Angelo told him to stop.
-Have you been working overtime lately?
Cristian bit his lip in thought for a moment, and shook his head, -No, I can handle the company just fine. I don't need to work overtime.
At his words, Angelo frowned, "You don't work overtime? So where have you been the last few days? Why didn't you come back for dinner if you didn't work overtime in the company?
-I have other things recently-as to the details, of course, Cristian would not tell him easily.
Unconsciously, Angelo wanted to ask more about the other things. But when he thought about what she had told him last night, it seemed inappropriate to ask. So he asked, "Are you available tomorrow? I have an appointment with Joseph and Magdalene at 7 p.m. Come with me.
Cristian frowned and his eyes showed his displeasure.
-Didn't I tell you I don't like it? Grandpa, are you still trying to arrange with her and my marriage?
-Maddalena is a beautiful girl from a good family. Besides, she likes you. If you pay a little attention to her, you will discover her qualities.
Cristian did not know what to say.
For some reason, he had a very uncomfortable feeling when he saw Magdalena, especially her appearance and the behaviors with which she tried to approach him.
All these things made him resist her.
So Cristian did not want to look at her more than once.
-Cristian, you have to trust me. Magdalena is definitely the best choice for you right now, if you get married....
"If I get married..."
As Cristian was thinking, the exquisite face suddenly appeared before his eyes, looking at him with tear-filled eyes and saying no.
Cristian was surprised, why was he thinking of her again at this moment--?
-Tomorrow night at seven for dinner. I won't forgive you if you don't come.
Stopping to think about her, Cristian began to reflect on Angelo's words and said coldly, -I will be on time.
-If he avoided it, there would always be a next time, so he might as well go once and set the record straight.
Angelo laughed contentedly, "I knew you wouldn't let me down.
-By the way, you said I always lived at Calligaris' house? -Cristian suddenly asked.
Angelo's smile suddenly froze, and he said with obvious displeasure, -Why are you asking me this? Didn't I tell you before that you were raised by my parents and that in the future you would inherit all the Calligaris family estate? If you ask now, do you think I lied to you? I wouldn't leave the company in the hands of just anyone.
Cristian was speechless.
He had no doubt about what Angelo was saying, but about his origins. When he woke up, he had completely forgotten who he was. It was Angelo who told him that it was his grandfather, who had been a victim of a shipwreck and had hit his brains on a rock, and had lost his memory, but not to worry and that the best doctors would be found to treat him.
