After hanging up the phone, Serena sat on the bed for a few moments before lying down and tucking herself in.
She rolled over and looked out the window into the quiet night.
It was true that she did not want Cristian to have a major conflict or even a breakup with his grandfather because of her, and so when she had seen the butler so helplessly at the door begging him to come back, Serena had done it then.
But now, she felt she had been too quick to accept it; how could Magdalena have such a simple reason for wanting to see him?
Thinking back, Serena thought she was thinking too much. In the Calligaris family, Magdalene could not escape Angelo's attention even if she had a plot, unless Angelo was also helping her.
At this thought, Serena sat down abruptly.
There was an uneasy feeling in her heart, but if she ran out in the middle of the night, it would only cause Cristian trouble if she ran into something.
She had not forgotten the words Cristian had said to her before she left, "Wait for me.
Even if he was anxious, she should have trusted him, right?
Cristian would come back.
Serena calmed down and went back to bed. Time passed, but Serena was not sleepy at all, in fact she was lively, clutching her phone in her hand.
Not knowing how long she waited, her phone suddenly vibrated.
Serena opened it and saw that it was a message from Vittorio for her.
''Don't worry sister-in-law, I have already reached the Calligaris family, now I am going first to check the situation, if there is any movement I am sure to help Cristian.
Serena could only return her thanks and hold the phone while she waited.

Calligaris' house.
The old man and the young man sat across from each other, and the maid brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of Cristian and Angelo respectively.
But neither of them moved, Angelo's gaze fixed on his nephew in front of him, the irritation in his eyes clear and unmistakable.
Cristian half-closed his thin lips, picked up his cup of tea and took a sip. -Grandfather, take a sip of tea to take away your anger.
-Take away my anger? Hm, do you think I can easily overcome this anger? -Having said this, Angelo took his cup of tea and took a big sip, then set it down again, meeting a loud noise as the cup hit the table.
To such Angelo, Cristian's reaction was pleasantly relaxed as he sipped his tea nonchalantly.
Angelo looked at his nephew with hatred and anger, and was so irritated by his airy appearance that he took his stick and tried to hit him, but Dominic saw this and rushed to stop him.
-Sir, don't be angry, don't be impulsive!
-Domenico, let me go! Let me discipline this disobedient brat.
Angelo's anger was so great that Cristian looked up, his eyes met the Angel's clouded but brimming with anger, and then he pulled at the corners of his lips.
-Grandfather, are you looking for a puppet heir?
At these words, Angelo froze.
-What do you mean by that?
-Don't you? -Cristian scoffed, -Just because you are trying to manipulate my life for me, doesn't that mean you want me to be a puppet?
You're my grandfather, so I respect you, but that doesn't mean I'll be a puppet willingly.
