A moment of silence ambushed the three. Juan Pablo as a guest there felt increasingly uncomfortable. He grumbled inwardly for coming at an inopportune moment. However, in the end Juan Pablo can master himself and try to refocus on his goals. However, Mia's pouting face looks so adorable and had made her lose concentration again. Juan Pablo shook his head, then sneered softly.
“So, do you know the whereabouts of Sergei Redomir, Mr D’Angelo?” he finally decided to break the silence
“No, Mr. Herrera. I have not met him since I returned from England, ” Adriano replied firmly. A smile on her thin lips. “Why don't you just look for it in Moscow? I know Sergei often returns to his home country,” advice Adriano still looks calm.
“As it turned out,” Juan Pablo nodded slowly. His face looked like he was thinking about something.
“Is there a serious problem?” Adrian asked back.
“Not really. Don Vargas needs a little help. It's just a project issue. Sergei Redomir should have addressed the issue of land acquisition. However, he disappeared before all his work was done. Very inconvenient,” complained Juan Pablo.
“During being my business partner, Sergei Redomir does often behave like that. He always disappeared as he pleased, then would appear suddenly in unexpected moments,” Adriano said so while grabbing Mia's fingers and meridia masa slowly, making Mia immediately turn to him. Mia knew something was wrong. Adriano sometimes does this when he is agitated. However, because of his attitude that always looks calm, not everyone can understand the anxiety that the man feels.
“It looks like I have to look for Sergei's whereabouts elsewhere. All right, I'll try to contact his colleagues in Moscow,” Juan Pablo muttered. He stood up and wanted to say goodbye. Simultaneously, Damiano appeared in the living room. His right hand held the wand, while his left hand was held tightly by Miabella. The little girl led the grandfather slowly.
“Uncle? Why not just rest in the room?” immediately Mia stood up and approached the old man. He held and smeared Damiano's frail body.
“Weather is hot, son. I want to feel the sunlight. After all, I've been in the room too long. It feels so boring. Coincidence Bella ...” Damiano didn't continue when he caught Juan Pablo. Damiano was so stunned by the figure of the sturdy man standing gallantly before him. A young man with a face reminiscent of his late foster son Matteo. For a moment, both Mia and Adriano had observed a change in Damiano's face that looked a little strange.
“Who is he?” tanyanya. The old eyes looked sad.
“A colleague,” replied Adriano while forcing a smile.
Seeing Damiano's whereabouts there, Juan Pablo immediately stepped forward then reached out, “Juan Pablo Herrera, Mr...”.
“Damiano Baresi,” he moved the stick to his left hand, then returned the handshake Juan Pablo thrust at him.
Seeing that, Miabella hurriedly hid behind the grandfather. The little girl just peered over Damiano's body. However, he immediately pulled his head completely out of sight, as Juan Pablo turned his head and looked at him. The man who used to show that cold look, now revealed a small smile that was so faint over Miabella's attitude.
“It's nice to meet you, Mr. Baresi,” Juan Pablo said as he nodded slowly. A moment later, he decided to say goodbye. The man looked so charming as he walked into the Casa de Luca courtyard while wearing the black glasses he had been holding since. Juan Pablo got into the car. Not long after, the honey-brown-eyed man immediately advanced the black sedan he was driving at a slow pace.
“Are you okay, Uncle?” mia asked after noticing Damiano who was more silent after Juan Pablo's departure.
“Ah, yes te-certain. I'm fine, son,” Damiano woke up. He also stuttered in answering Mia's question. The old man then set his eyes on Miabella. He then nodded before leaving Mia alone with Adriano in the living room. Damiano again continued his steps with Miabella to take a walk near the plantation.
Mia still feels something strange from Damiano. However, at that time he preferred to turn his attention to Adriano who seemed to be filled with burden. “Why else, Adriano?” the woman still seems to be upset with her husband. It was evident from his tone of speech that sounded faint.
“What do you mean?” ask Mia. His tone began to soften, especially when he saw the increasingly adorable eyes of Adriano.
Adriano took a deep breath, then slowly plucked it. He chose to return to his seat in a half-bending position. At first, the man grabbed both palms and rubbed them slowly. Before long, he placed the palms that were still clinging to each other in front of his lips. Adriano's eyes looked bright.
“Say what's up, Adriano?” ask Mia again who saw the unusual and strange gurgle of the husband. He sat next to the man while facing him. Seeing Adriano's attitude, Mia also became anxious. He touched the strong back of the thirty-two-year-old man, then he rubbed slowly. Mia then moved her soft touch on Adriano's back hair that was not neatly combed as usual.
Getting such gentle treatment from his wife, Adriano felt very special. She immediately turned her head, then grabbed Mia's pretty face. He kissed the woman's red lips again for a while, until all the unrest in him broke and disappeared instantly. After that, Adriano let go of his kiss.
“What's up, Honey?” mia asked again while gently rubbing the husband's lips.
“Juan Pablo came to see me to find someone who had died,” Adriano replied softly.
“What?” mia's beautiful eyes were rounded with a hue of disbelief.
“Yes, Mia. I killed Sergei Redomir. I have to do that to avenge Matteo,” Adriano said, making Mia more sluggish with her mouth slightly open.
“Adriano, w-why?” Mia. “I told you to stop all this. I told you everything about Matteo. Let these people have their own karma from God. You don't have to interfere anymore. How many times should I tell you,” her brown eyes glazed over until a clear water melted on those smooth cheeks.
“I've sworn to you, Mia. Remember our agreement before marriage first ...."
“The agreement is off, Adriano!” mia cut her husband's words just like that.
“The agreement was void since I voluntarily surrendered myself and my love was only for you,” Mia cupped Adriano's handsome face and sobbed. “Please do not do anything that could endanger you. I really can't take it anymore. If you die, then right then I will kill myself and ..”
Adriano stops the horrible sentence that slid off Mia's lips with a kiss. “How many times do I have to say that I won't die that easily, Mia? After all, that's not what I'm afraid of,” she said shortly after releasing a kiss.
“Then, what?” ask Mia. Her cheeks were now wet with tears.
“If, one day Juan Pablo finds evidence that I was involved in Sergei's murder, maybe Don Vargas will easily put me in prison,” Adriano replied.
