WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY FROM ME?
Sabrina, observing this, realized that she had touched a very sensitive spot for him. She regretted to sing to the four winds, how happy she was to be a grandmother again, so she approached him.
-I’m sorry, Piero! It was not my intention to hurt you or make you feel bad for this,” she said, overwhelmed and handing him the gift she had brought him from her trip. He accepted it and replied…
-Thank you! That shows that you thought of me,” he remarked, “And as for the other thing, don’t feel bad for me. It’s just that I feel nostalgic, not having looked for my own family, my own happiness,” he said, leaving the kitchen towards his room.

Sabrina, regretted everything she told him, related to her happiness, for the joy of having a grandchild and being in sweet expectation of the other one.
“I should have guessed that talking like that would affect him. He himself told me months ago what he would have given to have his own family,” she reflected, feeling worse.
“Likewise, he told me what a joy it would be for him to return home, where a wife and children or perhaps grandchildren awaited him” she reflected, with more anguish, as she remembered how nice he had been to her that morning, preparing her breakfast.
“God, I was wrong!” analyzed Sabrina, sadly.
In any case, she went out and went upstairs to her grandson’s playroom, where she locked herself in all morning to play with him. In this way she avoided a new encounter with Piero, whom she was very fond of and for whom she was beginning to feel dormant emotions in her.
Sabrina, while playing with her grandson, felt the need to talk about this with Maddie, which is why she called him.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Ring, ring! Ring, ring!
-Sabrina?” asked Maddie, smiling and settling down on the couch on the terrace of her mansion to talk to her.
-It’s me, Maddie,” she replied, moving a little away from the baby, but not taking her eyes off her.
-How’s it going with your beau?” asked Maddie, intrigued, presuming it was about something to do with him, so Sabrina called out to him.
-Heh heh heh heh! You even read my thoughts now,” Sabrina added with a loud laugh.
-Yes!” commented Maddie.
-Today in the morning I went downstairs to give Piero the gift I brought him and I received a very nice and divine surprise from him,” she commented, speaking very quietly and slowly.
-And?” questioned Maddie.
-Well, he prepared my favorite breakfast on a tray, with a beautiful red rose adorning it, and when he handed it to me, he also informed me, “that he was going to court me!
-That’s extraordinary, Sabrina! I hope you didn’t scold him for this kind gesture.
“That’s to be admired, that even though he knows who you are, he’s up front and honest,” exclaimed Maddie, more excited than she was.
-For God’s sake, Maddie! I can’t believe you’d go along with this behavior, especially at my age.
“How am I going to expose myself in front of everyone to be romantically involved with someone in the house? It seems to me that Christopher is not going to like this,” she said worriedly.
-Knowing my son, I am sure he will be happy that you find love again, no matter the age, because there are no limits to love,” explained Maddie, happy and with a smile.
-Do you think so? Well, I don’t think so. Later, Christopher will think I’m crazy,” said Sabrina, “I don’t want to disappoint him.
-I am sure, it won’t be like that Sabrina Please, friend! Give yourself a chance. You can confidently talk to my son, I’m sure he’ll support you,” Maddie said empathetically.
“Trust me friend! My son loves you very much and respects you. He wishes the best for you and Piero, he is an extraordinary human being, he was with us for many years, I guess it was like twelve years. He accompanied my Christopher for a long time in his travels.
-Yes, that’s what he told me once,” Sabrina said, “but that’s something else. I am his wife’s mother, he may not like it,” Sabrina hesitated, confused.
-If you don’t talk to my son, how will you know if he will support you or not? It’s worse to throw away an opportunity, just out of fear,” Maddie said.
-God, Maddie! I feel worse now,” she confessed honestly.
-Heh heh heh heh! Girlfriend, I see this as normal. Honestly, I don’t see any obstacle for you to start a relationship with Piero. He is a man of the world, he has traveled a lot, I imagine he has a lot to teach,” Maddie assured, smiling.
-God! I’ll think about it, now he left you because the baby is making mischief with the colors,” expressed Sabrina, “And thank you, for listening to me.
-I’ll always be here for you! Sabrina -she said goodbye, hanging up her cell phone.

That same day, at noon Sabrina went downstairs with her grandson in her arms, to the kitchen area to find out what food was prepared for the baby. There, again, she met Piero, who upon seeing her enter, smiled with her, looking at the baby.
-The baby’s food is ready! -he affirmed, looking at the baby and affectionately looking at Sabrina.
-Then, I’ll take the opportunity to feed the baby before Amber and Christopher arrive,” she declared, dodging Piero’s gaze, who gently stopped her, taking her by the other arm.
-Why are you running away from me? This is your house, because it is your daughter’s house….
“If it bothered you, what I said, just tell me and I’ll leave. However, you don’t have to feel bad, this is your ground, not mine,” he assured, kind and polite.
-I’m not upset and I don’t want you to leave either! I want us to continue as always, as when you came to this house, as friends, partners, creators of extraordinary dishes for my children to enjoy,” she declared, stunned, walking with her grandson towards the bar.
-I’ll serve you now,” he said, remaining silent for a few minutes while he chilled little Christopher’s food.
Once he approached the bar to feed his grandson, she, regretful and embarrassed, clarified…
-It would hurt me very much to lose your friendship and the pleasant moments we have shared together, cooking, learning, innovating, creating, in short, everything we do to satisfy our tastes in the kitchen -she declared, feeling guilty.
-I’m so glad! That at least it affects you in some way, the fact that I’m leaving. And don’t worry, I’m not leaving and I’m not giving up either. I only wanted to be honest with you, nothing more,” he exclaimed, helping her with the baby, so that it would eat.
-I appreciate your sincerity and your understanding! -she said tenderly…
