For so many years, Angelo Calligaris had eaten alone.
Although Domenico accompanied him, they were, after all, two old men, so there were not many topics to talk about between them. How bitter!
Angelo had not been born to be alone; he had enjoyed life with his wife and daughter, and many mistresses. Without his inner fortitude, it was impossible to live life like that for so long.
Now his youngest daughter was with him.
Although his other daughter was not by his side, his grandson had come with his relatives, it was a family of three. Oh no, it was already a family of four.
Matthew had also attended with Serena.
There were eight people present, including Dominic and Angelo.
What a liveliness!
Angelo was smiling, it was a laughter that appeared in his eyes, in his heart and in his face, and Manuel was sitting next to him, which gave him more pleasure.
Thanks to Manuel, Angelo had more sympathy for Serena than before.
In fact, he had hardly ever sympathized with Serena, with his pride, one could not tell.
However, Manuel's company was like a brainwashing for Angelo; if he had made a liking rating for Serena, it would have been seventy points out of a hundred.
But he was still proud, so he could not express his satisfaction with Serena, leaving his dignity behind.
Fortunately, he had greeted Matteo, and then the two of them had talked for a while.
They were heads of the same group, so they had a lot to talk about.
It did not take long for him to rectify his opinion of Matteo; Angelo considered him a trustworthy person.
During dinner, Manuel often spoke for Serena in front of Angelo.
However, Beatrice Marchetti was distracted, looking at so many people, thoughts raced through her mind, and she was reminded of the past.
At that time, she was very young, her older sister was the one who was kindest to her.
Since she had given birth to Beatrice, her mother had had some health problems, she had spent some years in bed, although she had treated herself with very expensive medicine, she had eventually left this world.
When her mother died, Iris Marchetti became the kindest to Beatrice.
She cared for Beatrice as if she were her own daughter. Angelo was very sad about the woman's death, in fact, he had been sick, and then, overcome by homesickness, because of that, many business matters were postponed.
Then, after putting his wife's affairs in order, Angelo had many things to undo, and he naturally ignored his daughters.
At first his daughters understood him, but gradually the relations between them grew weaker and weaker.
For children, the company of parents is very important.
But the words the two girls heard most were that Angelo would have work commitments, and they would not have to wait for him to have dinner together.
They would see each other less at first, and then they would have no more time to be together.
Beatrice scoffed in her heart at the thought.
-Angelo's only virtue was that he sincerely fell in love with his wife, his mother died very early, her price was already astronomical, many women wanted to be with him, but he ignored them.
-The widower did not marry anyone or flirt with anyone.
