His soul-Chapter 533: Diego’s deception

Diego’s smile widened when he saw the preparations being made inside his house, even though tonight would only be a simple ring exchange, he was happy because everything was done so well.

Diego’s intention to meet Gina in her room had to be postponed when he accidentally heard a commotion from the front door, Diego’s smile grew when he saw the figure who made the noise.

"Diego!"

Diego, who was walking towards the exit where his two beautiful sisters were standing, immediately smiled. "Yes."

"Is what all these maids said true?" Selena asked loudly.

"Yes."

"Diego!" snapped Rosa loudly. "We’re serious!"

Diego pursed his lips. "I’m serious too."

Rosa shook her head quickly, for people who know Gina’s true feelings Rosa felt very disbelieving hearing Diego’s answer. Without waiting for an explanation from Diego, Rosa chose to run straight to the stairs to meet Gina and ask her directly, leaving Selena and Diego facing each other.

Selena, who actually wanted to meet Gina, was forced to hold back, Diego’s presence in front of her now attracted her attention. Without wasting time, Selena immediately grabbed Diego’s hand and pulled him to the sofa. Selena wanted to hear all the explanations directly from Diego. People who will have a big event tonight in their house.

"Gina...ouchhhh sorry." Rosa immediately stopped her words when she saw Doctor Dorothea in Gina’s room which she had just opened in a hurry.

Doctor Dorothea smiled. "Come in, Rosa."

With a bit of awkwardness, Rosa did the orders that Doctor Dorothea gave her. Rosa stopped when she saw a mannequin wearing a beautiful white party dress in Gina’s room.

"S-so what the maids said was true?" stammered Rosa. "Tonight you’re really getting engaged to Diego, Gina?"

Gina, who had only bowed her head since the arrival of her party dress, didn’t respond to Rosa’s question, her lips were too dry to speak. Gina was really trying her best not to cry.

"Come here, I’ll settle all your curiosity," Doctor Dorothea said softly, asking Rosa to sit beside her.

Rosa who had no other choice finally did what the doctor Dorothea asked, after Rosa sat down well, doctor Dorothea then told Rosa everything she knew. As long as Doctor Dorothea spoke several times, Rosa shook her head, she couldn’t believe what the doctor said. Rosa couldn’t believe that her father had made such a big decision without asking Gina’s approval first.

"Why didn’t you tell me, Gina? If you had told me earlier I might have..."

"Daddy just spoke last night," Gina answered quickly. "Last night I was really confused, I couldn’t think, Rosa."

"Oh Gina..." Rosa immediately hugged Gina tightly. "I’m sorry, I can’t do anything."

Gina, who was already very disturbed by the existence of her party dress, did not respond to Rosa’s words, her eyes already felt very hot. She was in a really bad mood.

Doctor Dorothea, who witnessed how Gina struggled to get up from her slump, didn’t say much, all she was doing now was trying to keep Gina’s mood calm. Doctor Dorothea knows Gina’s current condition is really so chaotic, Gina is in such a difficult position right now. Gina is really faced with a difficult choice between following her father’s wishes or following her conscience and returning to Massimo.

Because she had an afternoon practice schedule, Doctor Dorothea finally left Gina alone with Rosa. Even though doctor Dorothea status is Gina’s personal doctor, she still has responsibilities to other patients. Before leaving the doctor Dorothea gave a message to Rosa not to leave Gina alone.

Knock..knock...

The door to Gina’s room was opened by Diego gently knocking from the outside.

Gina and Rosa who were sitting side by side immediately turned towards the door where Diego was standing with a wide smile.

Seeing Diego, Gina’s whole body stiffened. Although Diego had never done anything bad to her, but Gina was so scared of him right now. An ironic smile immediately spread across Diego’s face as he managed to read the aura of fear emitted by Gina.

"We can talk, Gina," Diego said softly, although he wanted to talk to Gina but at this time Diego gave Rosa a sharp look who was embracing Gina’s body.

As if understanding what her brother wanted, Rosa released her arms from Gina’s body slowly and immediately walked towards the door letting Gina and Diego be in one room.

As soon as Rosa left Gina’s room, Diego sat down on the chair beside the bed. Took the closest place to Gina.

"I know this must be very hard for you, Gina. I know it’s not easy for you to accept all this," Diego said slowly, starting the conversation. "To be honest, I was also very surprised when Daddy told me about this plan."

Gina who was playing with her fingers did not respond to Diego’s words, Gina was confused and didn’t know what to say.

"If you mind , I can cancel everything." Diego spoke again.

Gina who was looking down immediately lifted her face, staring at Diego with a confused look.

"I can ask Daddy to cancel this wedding plan, I don’t want to burden you. Even though Daddy will definitely be disappointed, I’m sure Daddy can understand. All I need to do is call doctor Peter to be on standby at home if..."

"Don’t!" Gina shouted loudly. "Don’t say anything to Daddy, I don’t want Daddy to get heart attacked again, Diego." Gina’s voice trembled, Diego’s plan worked. Bringing Julian’s illness into his current conversation with Gina was absolutely spot on, Gina’s defenses were instantly crushed without a trace.

Diego, who was currently very happy, didn’t change his sad expression. "I don’t want to stress you, Gina. I don’t want to start all this out of compulsion, because honestly I was so happy when Daddy set me up with you."

"So happy, w-what do you mean?" asked Gina quietly.

Binggo, the question Diego has been waiting for is finally out!

With a quick movement Diego immediately grabbed Gina’s hand and squeezed it tightly. "I love you, Gina."

"L-love me? How can that be?"

"Ever since you came here eight years ago I’ve had different feelings for you Gina."

Gina shook her head. "No way, didn’t you hate me so much at that time, huh?"

"It’s not because I hate you, Gina. My rude attitude at that time was an outlet for my annoyance when I found out that you were my sister, my step-sister," Diego said hoarsely, putting on his saddest expression which was definitely just acting. Even though Diego actually had feelings for Gina, Diego didn’t feel as big as he was telling Gina right now. "I’m angry and upset that the girl I like has become my sister."

Gina shook her head again, she really couldn’t believe Diego’s words.

"That’s why when Daddy divorced Mommy I was very happy five years ago, because with the end of the marriage bond between them, I can become closer to you. But after you healed you just returned to that bastard, so that time I fell to pieces again." Diego said hoarsely, his eyes staring sadly at Gina. "But, it seems that God is back on my side. God sent you back to me even though in a way that was so painful for you...but believe me Gina, I really really love you. Let me make you happy, Gina. Let me prove to everyone that I am so sincere to you and your baby. I promise to be a responsible husband to you and a perfect father to your baby."
