His soul-Chapter 337: Diego’s email

Lauren blinked when she heard Gina speak, she couldn’t believe that Gina was Spanish given the thick British accent when Gina spoke.

"I changed citizenship from England to Spain about seven years ago when I moved to Barcelona after my mother died. I moved to Barcelona on a mandate given by my mother to find my biological father. It’s a bit complicated but that’s how it is," said Gina quietly as she showed her passport to Lauren.

"No wonder your British accent is too thick to be Spanish, Gina."

Gina smiled. "Yes, because I was born and raised in England."

"But your Spanish is good too?"

"Because since childhood, my mother used to talk to me in Spanish, at school even my mother deliberately chose Spanish as an additional material that I had to learn. Even though outside of school I took Spanish courses."

Lauren nodded her head again, she now understood why Gina’s Spanish was so good even though Gina was born in England. After learning the fact that Gina is Spanish, Lauren’s intention to watch Korean dramas is gone, according to her, Gina’s life is actually more interesting than the stories on the drama tapes she brought from home.

As long as Gina told Lauren she didn’t interrupt much, she was a really good listener. No wonder Lauren is very excited to hear the story about the matador country at this time, because Spain is Lauren’s dream country to be able to settle down. Lauren is too fond of Spain.

"So you haven’t been home since coming to New York five years ago?"

Gina nodded slowly. "Yes."

"Why? Don’t you miss your biological family? I mean, you still have a biological father and two sisters. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to live with them than living with your godfather’s family like this, Gina?" asked Lauren curiously, Lauren lowered her voice as she spoke so as not to be heard from outside.

"There are several reasons why I should stay away from my family, Lauren."

"Name one of them so I can understand," Lauren asked half-forced.

"My father’s new wife doesn’t accept my presence," Gina answered honestly, although she didn’t say the real reason but what Gina said was true. Vanessa doesn’t like being at the Sanders’ house.

"Fuck, stepmothers are jerks everywhere," Lauren cursed angrily. "Even in fairy tales, stepmothers are cruel."

Gina giggled. "Never mind, let’s not talk about it anymore, let’s just watch a drama. Didn’t you say there was a new drama, didn’t you?"

Lauren shook her head, quickly grabbing the pile of film tapes that Gina was going to choose. "I’m not in the mood to watch dramas anymore."

"Then what do you want haha..."

"Want to gossip with you, oh yeah for tomorrow morning we better take an earlier flight, okay. I’m afraid we’ll be late if..."

"Uncle won’t let me go, Lauren ."

Lauren’s face changed, her face looked confused. "W-what do you mean?"

"I didn’t get permission to take the interview," Gina answered simply, trying to hold back tears.

"WHY?"

"Because Uncle didn’t agree, Seattle was too far from New York. Uncle wouldn’t let me work that far."

Lauren scratched her non-itchy hair. "Oh Jesus, Seattle isn’t that far away, Gina. By plane we only fly for six hours."

"Yeah, but Uncle still doesn’t agree."

"NolanWill is a great company, it’s very rare for freshmen like us to get this opportunity, Gina," Lauren said excitedly.

"Well what can I do? Uncle forbids me. God must have a better plan for me."

Lauren shook her head at Gina’s words, having known Gina since she had not entered college, Lauren knew that Gina was very obedient to her uncle. Because of that, Lauren resigned and chose not to continue the debate because she was aware that whatever she said would not affect Gina’s decision.

After talking incoherently here and there discussing a lot of things that happened during their last few days on campus, Lauren finally said goodbye to go home, even though their house was only one block apart, Lauren always came home and didn’t want to stay the night. Being disciplined since childhood made Lauren reluctant to sleep in other people’s houses.

"Bye bye, success for tomorrow," said Gina quietly as she escorted Lauren in front of the house.

Lauren nodded slowly. "Thanks, I’ll let you know later, Gina."

"Ok, greetings to Uncle and Aunty."

Lauren formed an OK symbol using her right hand without opening her mouth in response to Gina’s words, her sleepiness was unbearable. Seeing Lauren yawn several times while walking home made Gina chuckle, Lauren is the only friend in the complex who always manages to make Gina smile. Since everyone was asleep, Gina also had to be careful when closing the door. She didn’t want to wake her uncle or aunt.

Gina tiptoed up the stairs to her room, when passing through the second floor Gina smiled when she saw Andres who was still busy with his computer. Not wanting to disturb her little brother, Gina continued her steps towards the room.

"I’m sure your biological father will miss you very much, Gina."

Lauren’s words replayed in Gina’s memory when she had just stepped into her room again.

"Is it true that Daddy misses me?" Gina said quietly talking to herself, her heart beating fast as she remembered her father.

When she opened her eyes after her crazy decision that morning, the first people Gina saw were her uncle and aunt who continued to look after her in the ICU at Aster Cedars Hospital, Jebel Ali, Dubai. That’s why Gina didn’t ask her uncle and aunt about her father until now. Patrick had completely shut down Gina’s communication access with her family in Barcelona, ​​neither Diego, Selena and Rosa knew Gina’s cell phone number.

Patrick made that decision for Gina, he thought that if a member of the Sanders family found out about Gina’s whereabouts, it was possible that Massimo would know. Therefore, for the sake of Gina, Patrick does not allow members of the Sanders family to communicate with him and Gina always obeys her uncle’s words not to communicate with her family. But tonight, when Lauren spontaneously said that her father must miss her, Gina suddenly felt uneasy. Her guilt arose because she had not cut off communication with her father.

Even though what happened was God’s will, Julian’s helplessness at that time against Massimo’s domination also played an important role in Gina’s misfortune and this is what Patrick always says when discussing Julian with Brigitta. Patrick still blamed Julian for what happened to Gina, that’s why he decided not to give Julian permission to communicate directly with Gina and Julian could only accept Patrick’s decision.

With slightly shaking hands, Gina slowly opened the email again. An old email that has never been opened by the incoming contact. The only means of communication known to the Sanders family was Gina’s email, because several times Gina had to include her email for the banking process that Julian had proposed at that time.
