His soul-Chapter 399: Family dinner

"My wife won’t be able to eat well if you keep talking to her, Selena," said Massimo coldly for the third time.

Selena who sat in front of Gina then turned her gaze to Massimo. "What really bothered Gina from eating earlier was you, Massimo. Not me!" Selena replied not wanting to lose, ever since Gina sat in her chair, Massimo has been busy choosing food for Gina.

"My wife’s digestion is still not good, so I have to make sure which foods my wife can eat. I don’t want what happened this afternoon to happen again." Massimo gave the reason why he was sorting out food for Gina.

"What happened this afternoon, what exactly happened this afternoon?" Julian, who had always been a good listener, suddenly joined in, his ears immediately burning at Massimo’s words.

"Gina threw up all the food she ate at the restaurant this afternoon, Dad." Rosa answered her father’s words quickly. "This afternoon the three of us went to the mall for lunch."

"Threw up all the food? What are you guys eating?" Selena asked curiously.

"Japanese food, I don’t know why I agreed to the request of my wife and my sister-in-law who is a doctor to eat at a Japanese restaurant."

Massimo’s words succeeded in making Julian, Selena and Diego look at him at the same time.

"You have an allergy to Japanese food, Gina?" Diego asked seriously.

"Not."

"Otherwise why are you throwing up?"

"Didn’t I say before that my wife has digestive problems, why are you still asking, huh?" Massimo curtly answered Diego’s question, his big hands also hugged Gina’s waist tightly.

Seeing Massimo’s very possessive attitude towards Gina, Rosa thought back to Massimo’s words a few moments ago when she asked Gina and Massimo to immediately go down to the first floor to have dinner together. Rosa finally understood that Massimo really really liked Gina.

After dinner was over, Julian invited Massimo to have conversation in his study, while Gina was immediately invited by her three siblings to go to the back garden to talk and unwind.

Selena, who used to be very angry and hated Gina because she was considered to have stolen the attention of her family, has now changed 180 degrees, the incident five years ago where Gina almost lost her life made Selena realize that Gina was not a threat to her. Selena always imagined that if Gina wasn’t there, maybe she would be in Gina’s position, lying in the hospital with a terrible wound on her left hand. That’s why now Selena’s attitude has become much friendlier to Gina.

"So you won’t be living in Barcelona anymore?" Selena asked curiously.

Gina nodded slowly. "Yes."

"Why? This town is your home, Gina. Your family is here. Did that bastard stop you from living here?" accused Diego of being mean.

"No, Diego. I asked Massimo not to live in this city," Gina replied softly, putting on a warm smile.

"You asked? What does that mean?"

Gina took a deep breath, her eyes closed for a moment before finally smiling looking back at her three siblings who were waiting for an answer.

"I’m still traumatized by Massimo’s castle, even though five years have passed I still don’t feel strong if I have to go back to that place. There are too many bad memories there that I want to forget," Gina said softly, her voice sounded a little hoarse as she spoke. Recalling the bad events that she wanted to forget goodbye to the castle made Gina feel a little carried away.

Suddenly Diego grabbed Gina’s right hand and squeezed it tightly. "If it’s you who doesn’t want to live with Massimo, just say so, Gina. We’ll help you get away from that man, don’t be afraid. Our family is now free from Massimo’s influence. That bastard has no more power over our family, That way you no longer have to feel burdened with the responsibilities that Selena used to hold on to for years before you came and replaced her as Massimo’s woman."

"What Diego said is true, Gina. You deserve a better life than being a Massimo woman, you have the right to continue your dreams and live a normal life like Rosa and me," said Selena seriously.

Gina smiled hearing Diego and Selena’s words, because this morning Rosa had said the same thing this time Gina didn’t look surprised at all by the words of her two brothers.

Putting on her best smile, Gina glared at Diego and Selena. "You two don’t have to worry, our relationship is much better now than it was five years ago. Massimo has never spoken harshly or spoken harshly to me again."

"Bad people don’t change that easily, Gina," Diego said quickly. "Massimo is not an ordinary person like us, in his blood flows the blood of the terrible mafia that once ruled this city. Are you ready if you have to spend the rest of your life with someone like him? You deserve a better life than now, Gina. There are many good and responsible men out there who will be able to make you happy."

"I can’t leave Massimo, Diego. He is my legal husband..."

"I can help you divorce him, Gina." Without guilt Diego cut Gina’s words quickly.

Gina smiled, she slowly released Diego’s grip which was still holding her hands. "Marriage is not something that can be ended that easily, Diego. I do not dare to take such a big risk, if one day we are destined to separate, then I hope I am not the one who made that decision."

"Gina..."

"I’m fine, Diego, for God’s sake. Besides, I’m pretty sure Massimo won’t dare mess with me anymore considering our family is not as weak as it used to be, especially now that you’ve become a great person. Massimo will surely think twice if you will do that to me," said Gina quickly cutting Diego’s words.

Diego’s face turned red when he heard Gina’s compliment. "I’m not that great, all I do is help Daddy. Nothing more," Diego said shyly.

"Akh, you are, you always like that... don’t keep being humble like this, it’s not good, Diego," said Rosa teasing Diego.

"You’re still a kid, you don’t know anything, Rosa," Diego said quietly, teasing Rosa back.

Being called young by her sister made Rosa angry, several times the young doctor hit her brother’s arm and back because she didn’t accept being called a child. Seeing Rosa buy Diego makes Selena not to be outdone, she joins Diego in teasing Rosa.

Unable to bear to see Rosa being teased by Diego and Selena, Gina finally helps Rosa and asks her two brothers to stop teasing Rosa.

From inside the house Julian smiled seeing his four children together, the fine lines around his eyes appeared more and more. "I’ve really missed moments like this, seeing my children love each other."

Hearing Julian’s words, Massimo’s cynical smile broke out. "Remember Julian, not all fruits on one tree bear fruit at the same time. Moreover, fruit from different trees can be sweeter, sourer or bitterer."

Julian immediately turned to Massimo. "What do you mean?"

Massimo chuckled. "One day you will understand what I mean, Julian."
