Cristian: "What makes you look like I'm looking forward to her coming?"
Luca: "You keep looking at the entrance, isn't it because you are waiting for Serena?"
"If I look at the entrance then am I waiting for her? Luca, since when can you see inside people?"
Luca: "... All right, never mind."
In fact, he was waiting for Serena, but he didn't want to admit it.
He didn't understand what was wrong between these two people.
But... Thinking about what he had investigated, Luca felt worried.
Serena, you have to come, if you don't come.... I'm afraid...
Luca thought no more about it.
After all, on such an important day as today, Cristian wanted to invite her to the party so that everyone would know that Serena was his wife.
Cristian asked her to come, but she refused.
Woman, you'd better come before the party starts....
Otherwise I will not forgive you.
Cristian repeated this sentence silently in his mind, then huffed coldly and left in his wheelchair.
As they were on Via San Marco, Serena looked at the time and saw that it was ten minutes to eight, but they were still on their way.
"Leonardo, are we there yet?"
Leonardo nodded, "Yes, after crossing the bridge in front of us, it will only be two hundred meters."
Perfect!
Serena smiled. The bridge was close. Very soon she would be able to see Cristian!
She had not broken her promise and managed to arrive on time.
Leonardo saw her worried and sped up; he did not expect that thing would cause him to have an accident.
When they were about to get on the bridge, a van came out at high speed.
Serena felt that something was wrong. When she looked up, the van was very close to them. She screamed so loudly that she almost lost her voice, watching the van hit them.
When Leonardo realized what had happened, he quickly turned the steering wheel. He was also very agitated. He had not expected something like this to happen. When he turned the steering wheel, Leonardo turned back and shouted to Serena behind him, "Serena, get out now!"
The party began on time. The start was signaled by the opening music and fireworks. Guests began to enter, but Cristian saw no familiar faces at the door.
At that moment Luca looked at him, "It's just the beginning. It will take more than ten minutes for all the guests to have finished entering."
Hearing this, Cristian frowned, "Did you give her the official invitation?"
Luca was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I guess not."
"Damn, how does she get in?"
Luca replied abruptly, "I see. I'll go down and get Serena." After saying that, Luca turned quickly and went down to the lobby where they were letting guests in with the official invitation. Of course... Without an official invitation, Serena could not enter.
Many people knew Luca, so they greeted him.
"Cristian, something has happened..."
"If she doesn't come, forget it."
When he finished speaking, Cristian turned and left the second floor. Luca changed his expression and rushed to him, "Cristian, maybe Serena is coming. Before she left the villa, she told me she was coming. She doesn't seem to be the kind of person to break her promise."
"Really? And where is she now? If she is not the kind of person to break her promises, why is she not here now?"
Luke: "This..."
He could not say a word. In fact he could understand Cristian's feelings. After all, after knowing all those things, he still gave her a choice. But Serena had chosen to take a different path.
The party had started more than ten minutes before, and Serena still had not shown up.
There was no other way, now he was busy, Luca had to follow Cristian, and as for Serena.... If she's really coming, he'll bring her here when she shows up!

"The guardrail of the bridge is broken. The van hit several cars and injured several people. Now we are still carrying out the investigation."
When Leonardo was rescued, he was in a semi-comatose state, he had been cut by shards of glass all over his body, and his brain had probably been damaged as well, at the time he was bleeding.
After being pulled to safety and lying on the ground, he grabbed the hand of the man who had rescued him, "Behind... Help her!"
The man was stunned, "You mean there are people in the back seat?"
"Yes!"
"All right, we'll get her out now."
