“So how about that lawyer after all?” Christian spoke as he leaned against the door and watched how Serena drove off.

“Finally opened your eyes?” Cesca commented while Franco scoffed. “I told you she is up to no good. You’re better off without her.”

“Christian, a word, please.” Mare forced a smile on his face as he pulled him away to talk in private. “Lawyer? What’s wrong with you? All of you!” Mare asked him.

Christian sighed as that was a question he was trying to figure out himself. He never expected things to go that far, but Serena left him no choice. He could not get over seeing Siena just once a week. “Do you expect me to survive 168 hours without my daughter?”

“You count the days?” Marc frowned. He felt awful, and he knew where he was coming from, but at the same time, he knew Christian brought it upon himself from the moment he threatened the Alfonzo’s. “I want you to put yourself in her shoes. You cheated on her, and she’s the one receiving the backlash, and you threatened her family on top of that.”

“It wasn’t a real threat. Christian desperately tried to defend his words. “I was angry, and I didn’t mean it. Don’t you say random things when you’re angry?”

“Yes, but I’ve never threatened to kill my ex fiancee’s family and called them dirty in the process.” Marc sighed. “Anyway, you need to keep pushing until she’s willing to work something out. Don’t make a case out of this.”

“So you expect me to wait 168 hours, just so that I can see my daughter again? That’s not happening!” Christian made clear. Marc placed his hand on his shoulder and tried to calm him down. “The two of you are being immature, selfish-and being influenced by your families.”

Marc’s words made Christian’s heart hurt. He knew Marc had a point, but he couldn’t and wouldn’t live without Siena. “Do you think Serena is a bad mom?” Mare wondered.

“No, of course not-she’s an amazing mom. I would never question her. I just want to see my daughter!” Christian told him. No matter the case, he would never stop loving Serena. There might have been many women before her, but he only considered her to be his first love. “You want to see Siena, and your family wants to take Siena away from her mom. Those are two completely different things, do you really want.

that?”

“Never.” Christian clarified. “I just want to see my daughter. That’s all I’m asking.”

“Then ask!” Marc snapped. “Ask Serena if you can see your daughter, ask her every day until she gets sick of you.”

“Can’t you understand? I did. I’ve tried everything!” Christian explained. There was not much he could do.

“How about patience?” Marc suggested. “You hurt Serena really bad, so yes, she’s being petty, and maybe you even deserve it.”

Christian couldn’t imagine how hurt Serena must’ve felt, not only by his actions but also his comments but still, it was no solid reason to keep him away from his daughter.
