Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1051: He ran away as fast as he could.

Anna felt as if her breathing and heartbeat had stopped. Her brain had directly frozen, going haywire, sitting with a stony expression.

She looked at Matthew, who was led by the waiter into the room.

She had not seen him for a long time, but he looked no different from before. His figure was still erect, his face, fresh and handsome, the shirt and tie he wore, meticulously groomed, and the buttons of his suit, neatly fastened. One could see at a glance the man's rigidity.

Manuel laughed furtively beside him.

Matteo had a cold face and entered without expression. After noticing something out of the corner of his eye, his steps suddenly stopped.

But it was only a pause. He returned to normal and sat down as if he had not seen her.

-Mr. Matteo, that's it.

-Uncle Matteo.

Manuel called out to the man who arrived, mimicking as he looked at Anna out of the corner of his eye.

He lowered his eyes at that moment. The falling bangs covered all the emotion in his eyes. The look could suggest she was embarrassed, so she lowered her head.

Only she must have known that she was not at peace at that moment.

Her hand trembled uncontrollably under the table. Anna resisted the urge to get up and leave, sitting there suppressing her emotions the whole time.

Why...

She had spent so much time trying to forget that man. She had become a very busy person for a time. The time and frequency to think about him had become less and less, until she believed she could forget him completely one day.

Nevertheless, he had appeared.

And Anna's heart was touched again.

She had never thought that Manuel had such a plan. It was no wonder that one moment he was pressing his cell phone, and suddenly he had said he would like to eat steamed fish at the restaurant.

A moment earlier he had called her and told her clearly that he wanted to eat the food she had prepared.

He had changed his mind in an instant. Something must have happened in the process.

She had also been very stupid, and without a second thought, had followed the boy without warning.

Now-what could he have been thinking about?

What would he have thought about her?

It would have been possible for him to think he was bothered by her, wouldn't it? She had already let him know, but in the end he had still appeared there.

At that thought, Anna felt dizzy. Fortunately, she was sitting down. She was sure that if she had been standing, her legs would have weakly given out. Anna had no idea why she was so disappointed, but... in fact, she felt so useless.

She thought she had forgotten him with the time she had spent trying to do so, but she had not expected to see him and feel as useless as before. -Uncle Matthew, I ordered food for you, so you don't need to order.

Manuel's voice came from his side, and Anna's sanity slowly returned. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.

-Yes,II Matteo replied in a cold tone, but he faced Manuel with some gentleness. When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me to pick you up?

-You didn't have to, Uncle. Mother told me you were too busy at work, so I didn't inform you because I was worried about you. You should take care of yourself!

-Okay. Of course.

Speaking, Manuel noticed that Anna was unusually quiet. When he looked at her again, he found that Anna still had her head down. He blinked and could not help but ask, -What is it, Anna, why don't you speak?

Anna, who had been called by name, took a deep breath. She slowly looked up and cast a pleasant smile at Matthew.

-Hello, sir, Mr. Matteo....

Matteo looked at her over the smile on her face that was uglier than tears. Then he nodded slightly, -Hello.

Alienated like a stranger.

Anna pinched her hand under the table and bit her lower lip slightly.

According to the way they got along, the two of them should not have greeted each other as strangers. But then-they had both gotten worse.

This had all been caused by her self-love, making herself as the favorite person.

If -- if she had not attached herself to him with affection in the first place, the situation would not have been like this.

At least, the relationship with him would not have been so rigid.

Wait.

Anna trembled violently in her heart.

"Anna, why do you still think that now? You had decided to forget the man in front of you. So why are you sitting here, do you want to keep entangling yourself?" she thought.

"Do you want to continue with this kind of constant, chaotic relationship? Or do you want to go back to that tired and lost Anna?" he thought.

No!

He couldn't continue like that. She had to get out of there.

After waking up, Anna decided to get out, so she pretended to remember something and suddenly told them, -I... I... I just remembered that I had an appointment today to talk about something. I will be late soon. Since Mr. Matteo is here, it won't be a problem to take Manuel home later so his mother won't worry. Me, I'll go now.

Finished, Anna immediately stood up. Perhaps her movements were a little clumsy. When she stood up, she overturned the chair.

Anna's expression changed, and she pulled it up quickly, haphazardly and carelessly.

Manuel finally found something wrong, and his little nose crinkled.

What had happened?

Was it him-was he doing bad things with good intentions?

-I'm sorry... Have a good time. I'm leaving now...

Leaning back in her chair, she grabbed her bag and quickly headed for the door with hurried steps and ran away as fast as she could. Manuel called her, -Anna.....

However, Anna, who had been called by him, did not seem to hear his voice at all and disappeared after leaving the room.

After the series of incidents, Manuel became depressed. As Anna left, he could only focus on Uncle Matteo.

-Uncle Matthew...

Matteo smiled slightly, -Since you have something to do, let's enjoy our meal. Then, I'll take you back.

Then Matteo raised his hand and poured him a cup of tea.

Manuel did not know what to say.

He did not know if it was his illusion-he always had the impression that his uncle looked so gloomy!

Since he had promised Anna that he would help her, he had made an appointment with his uncle this time because he wanted to create opportunities for both Anna and his uncle.

But the reaction of the two had been really abnormal.

Could it be that something had happened that she was unaware of during her time with her great-grandfather?

She had a thousand questions in her heart, but she dared not ask Matthew.

On the other hand, Anna, after leaving the room, had sped up a lot before stopping. She soon found that her legs were so soft that she could go no further. Just as she ran into a waiter coming the other way, she grabbed him and asked.

-Excuse me, where is the bathroom?
