His soul-Chapter 441: Lucas’s promise

Food is the best medicine for an angry woman and Massimo’s choice to bring Gina’s favorite pizza was perfect, Gina’s anger seemed to vanish when she had eaten one of those Italian dishes. Gina’s focus was only on her food and ignored Massimo who was sitting in front of her.

Seeing Gina eating so voraciously Massimo couldn’t bear to bother her, remembering about an eating disorder that Gina had some time ago made Massimo feel grateful that all these terrible things had passed. Gina’s diet has slowly improved, her habit of throwing up food has almost never happened again.

"Honey..."

Gina who had just finished her third slice immediately raised her hand in the air, signaling Massimo not to speak.

Seeing Gina’s greasy hands raised towards him, Massimo gave a small smile. "Still want to eat more?"

Gina gave a small nod in response to Massimo’s question.

"Okay then, I won’t disturb. Please eat in peace."

Gina’s eyes immediately glanced sharply at Massimo, feeling that Massimo was being a little sarcastic and Gina pushed two pizza boxes towards Massimo.

"For me? Can I really eat?"

"If you don’t want it, fine, I can give it to Darius and the others," Gina answered with her mouth full of food.

Massimo finally reaches out his hand and grabs two slices of pizza at once and enjoys it voraciously. Massimo is a person who rarely eats fast food like this so when enjoying pizza his expression looks very exaggerated. Gina almost choked if she didn’t rush to drink.

Feeling safe, Gina slowly wiped her lips with a handkerchief and looked at Massimo who was still enjoying the melted mozzarella cheese on the edge of the pizza. Seeing how childish Massimo’s way of enjoying pizza was, Gina believed that Massimo rarely ate it, because back then when she was free to eat what she wanted, Gina also acted like Massimo. Enjoying every piece of food until no leftovers as a form of gratitude for being able to enjoy good food.

"When I finish eating I want to talk seriously," said Gina slowly starting to speak.

Massimo, who had just stuffed the chopped pepper into his mouth, immediately turned to Gina. "Just talk now, I can hear it."

Gina shook her head. "I don’t want to interrupt your meal, we’ll talk when you’re done."

"What do you want to talk about? It seems very serious."

"A lot of things, that’s why we have to talk with a cool head," Gina answered firmly.

Massimo’s lips thinned, he was pleased to see Gina’s more mature way of speaking.

"Okay, I’ll eat another slice. After that we’ll talk," said Massimo softly.

Gina nodded slowly, actually Gina didn’t want to disturb Massimo’s meal time but she had to talk to Massimo about her family matters as soon as possible. However she is still a Sanders and right now her family needs her, especially her father. Gina does not want to lose her father, Gina feels that she has not spent much time with her father.

As previously said, after finishing one last slice Massimo then invited Gina to go to the backyard to talk. Massimo wanted to enjoy the sea view while chatting with Gina, but Massimo’s wish was immediately rejected by Gina who wanted to talk seriously. Gina didn’t want to be bothered by anything, even though it was just small waves running around.

"Okay, we’re sitting in the living room. Now you can start talking." Massimo opened the conversation, his left hand which was already holding the glass of wine began to wiggle to make the wine aroma come out more.

Gina swallowed hard, trying to shake off her nervousness. "I want to live in Barcelona."

Massimo’s hand movements stopped as soon as Gina mentioned Barcelona, ​​his gentle gaze was immediately replaced by a cold, intimidating gaze.

"I want to help Diego at the office, Massimo. Daddy’s health condition is getting worse, so I have to help Diego to take care of the family business," Gina said again, explaining in more detail.

"I’ll take care of your father, you don’t have to worry."

Gina shook her head quickly. "No Massimo, that’s not what I want. I want us to go back to live in Barcelona, ​​besides being able to monitor my father’s health I can also help my brother at the company so..."

"BROTHER?" repeated Massimo coldly, Massimo lengthening every syllable of the word that had just come out of his lips.

Gina blinked her eyes looking confused, she didn’t think she had done anything wrong but Gina felt that Massimo was angry right now.

"What did you call Diego earlier?"

"Brother," Gina replied curtly without guilt.

Instead of continuing what he was saying, Massimo actually laughed out loud at Gina’s words. Massimo, who knows how Diego and Gina’s relationship was in the past, was amused to hear Gina call Diego by the nickname brother.

"Are you aware of what you did, Gina?" asked Massimo coldly, Massimo also immediately said Gina’s name directly showing how serious he was at this time. "You know who Diego is?"

"Of course I know who Diego is, he is Selena and Rosa’s older brother. My two sisters are from Daddy," Gina answered quickly, deliberately bringing up the blood relationship between Diego and her two sisters.

A sarcastic snort was heard, Massimo’s smile was bland. "Diego was brought by Vanessa into the Sanders family when he was almost two years old at that time, a child who had nothing to do with the Sanders family was made the first child to take the position you should occupy. I’ll be more clear, it’s not just that kid who took what you should get , Gina. His mother, Vanessa also did the same thing by making your father her own and making your mother live in the hardships of raising a child alone in a big metropolis. You haven’t forgotten that, have you?"

Massimo’s words immediately made Gina’s chest feel tight, being reminded of her past with her mother’s name made Gina’s belief in forgetting and forgiving Vanessa’s past actions disappear. Her anger for the mother and child re-emerged in her chest.

"Remember Gina, what looks beautiful on the outside is not necessarily good on the inside," said Massimo again.

Gina who had looked down slowly raised her face, looking at Massimo with teary eyes. "I’m just trying to be nice and try to forgive those who have made me and my mother suffer, is that wrong?"

"It’s not wrong, I know your heart is soft. You have a high social spirit and always think of others first, but you have to remember the limit, Gina. Isn’t the definition of making other people happy only when we can be happy, right?"

Gina immediately clenched her fists when she heard Massimo’s words, she was really numb and couldn’t reply to Massimo’s words. In a state of emotion or calm like this it seemed like she would never win if she had an argument with Massimo, the man’s stance was too difficult to achieve.

"It’s getting late, let’s end this pointless talk. We’d better take a shower and relax in our room." Massimo’s voice again sounded clear that he wanted to end their conversation.

"Our conversation isn’t over, Massimo, I..."

"Our conversation was over when you called that bastard ’brother’," said Massimo firmly. "Five years ago I moved to Almeria and built this greenhouse to fulfill one of your dreams, so if you ask me to move back to Barcelona then that is one thing that will not happen. And one more thing, until I die I will not let my wife work. Where would my dignity be placed if my business associates found out that Massimo del Cano’s wife worked, then lost hope of running your company. I’ll ask Martin to find a professional to help Julian."

Gina’s face turned redder when she heard Massimo’s firm and undeniable words, again getting a rejection of her desire to make Gina want to cry. Meanwhile, Massimo, who had managed to make Gina’s mood shattered, had already turned around and walked away just like that up the stairs to their room on the second floor.

Gina sat on the sofa for a long time, her tears that had flowed into a river had now dried leaving an uncomfortable feeling on Gina’s face. Because the sun was disappearing, Gina then lifted her body from the sofa and walked towards the swimming pool to relax, but as soon as her feet touched the water suddenly her desire to feel the freshness of the pool water grew. Without changing clothes, Gina went straight into the two meter deep pool and began to sink herself to the bottom of the pool. Gina was silent for a long time with her eyes closed until finally Gina was startled by a strong grip on her arm before finally being dragged up.

"Akhhh....

"Are you insane?" Massimo shouted loudly right in front of Gina’s face, panic clearly etched on Massimo’s already bathed face. Gina could faintly smell the soapy scent emanating from Massimo’s body.

Mansion Lucas, Barcelona. 07.00 PM

Since his return from Almeria a few days ago, Lucas has been increasingly monitoring the food and drinks that Giovana consumes. Seeing his little daughter’s hand being infused makes Lucas’ chest feel tight, that’s why he doesn’t want something similar to happen.

"I’m already full," Giovana said quietly, refusing the nanny’s bribe who still wanted to feed her.

"One more time, Miss. After that..."

"I’m full," said Giovana curtly.

Lucas chuckled amused at his little daughter’s very bossy attitude.

"But miss..."

"It’s ok, Margarita. Don’t be forced anymore."

Hearing the words of the master, Margarita immediately nodded her head quickly. After that she tidied up Giovana’s meal and immediately left the father and daughter.

"Daddy..."

"Yes dear," Lucas answered softly.

" Where is beautiful aunty’s house, Daddy? Why didn’t Daddy take me to my beautiful aunty’s house?" Giovana demanded his father’s promise that he would invite her to visit Gina’s house as soon as they arrived in Barcelona.

Lucas, who didn’t expect Giovana to collect his promise, looked confused.

"Daddy promised me," said Giovana again. .
