Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1053: Anna, don't laugh anymore

Matthew did not know what to say.

His gaze was a little dark and confused. He bent down and unbuckled Manuel's seat belt.

-Get out and look for your Aunt Anna.

Manuel remained seated. He raised his head, looking at Matteo with those big eyes.

-Uncle, you still haven't answered my question: how do you know Anna lives here?

It seemed he would not leave unless he got the answer.

Matteo half-closed his thin lips with an indifferent expression, -With my ability, is it difficult to acquire a person's address?

-You know very well that it is. I have to go to the company.

-But I don't know which room he lives in, will you take me there?

Matthew glanced at him. The little guy took a step after taking his thumb.

-You are so skilled with magic that you must know which room he lives in, right? Come with me. I'm afraid to go alone.

After speaking, Manuel directly hugged Matthew's arm without letting go, playing a rogue role on purpose.

If I didn't take him, I would probably let him go. If I kept him....

Matteo did not know which room he actually lived in.

After thinking for a while, Matteo opened the door and got out with Manuel. The boy eagerly followed the man. He thought his uncle would take him directly to the door of Anna's house. Unexpectedly, Matteo led him to ask the security guard after getting out of the car.

Manuel was speechless.

What had happened, did he really not know?

Getting the answer, Matteo immediately took him inside.

He rang the doorbell.

Anna had been sitting in front of the dresser since she came home, and she was relieved after applying ice to her eyes, making sure they were not swollen.

Although they were still a little red, they would improve after dark, which would not have allowed her parents to notice the strangeness at that hour.

It was still early, but Anna was in no mood to do anything else, so she just surfed the Internet to look for decorations for her store.

Marcello had been very kind. Although he had not agreed to move the decorations, it would have been nice to add a little embellishment. Opening the website, Anna scanned it carefully.

Time passed like this, in silence.

A ringing sound.

The doorbell suddenly rang. Anna winced and looked up from the screen.

Was it her illusion, had the doorbell rung? She unconsciously looked at the time: who would come at that moment?

Was it neighbor Cristina?

Thinking about it, Anna left the mouse in her hand and got up to open the door.

After opening the door, she saw the person standing on the threshold and was stunned.

-Manuel?

"Why did he come here? He ate with Matteo at the restaurant, didn't he? Like ......," she thought.

-Anna," when Manuel called her name, the corner of her eyes looked at the man on the stairs. Hearing footsteps in the room, her uncle approached and asked her not to speak lest he be found. Although Manuel said nothing, her eyes continued to look at him.

Matthew unconsciously frowned, knowing that it would be wrong to continue like this, so he entered the elevator before Anna noticed, and then left.

In fact, when Anna realized that Manuel's expression was not normal, she remembered something. At first, she subconsciously wanted to stick her head out to see.

But after thinking of a certain possibility, his movements froze again and he dared not take a step forward at all.

-Anna," she pitifully called Manuel.

Anna came back to herself, smiling. She shifted her body to one side, -Since you're here, you go in first.

There was a look of disappointment in Manuel's eyes. He had not expected his uncle to leave so quickly. Anna also did not seem to want to come out to see him. "What has happened lately?" the boy suspected.

After entering the house, Anna quickly closed the door. Not knowing if it was an illusion on Manuel's part, she heard it close with some force.

-Do you want something to drink? Can I offer you a glass of juice? No, it's too cold. It's not good for the stomach. I'll make you a cup of tea with warm milk.

So saying, whether Manuel agreed or not, he went straight to the kitchen.

Manuel stood there without understanding.

After a while, he headed toward the kitchen on his short legs.

He leaned against the kitchen door and watched Anna preparing her milk tea. She looked very unhappy.

-Anna, what's wrong with you?

Finally, Manuel could not resist asking her.

Anna paused for a moment as she hurried to prepare her milk tea, and then what answered her was a long silence, as if to calm the air.

A long time later, Anna poured the prepared liquid into the cup and turned to Manuel.

The milk tea smoked in the air, and Anna's face looked a little hazy and unreal in the smoke.

-Here.

She bent down a little and placed it in Manuel's hands.

-Drink it calmly. You will feel warmer after drinking it. You came here at this hour. You must have been fed up, right? I'll make you something to eat, okay? Is spaghetti with a little meat okay? -Anna. -Manuel could not laugh and did not accept it. He felt that Anna looked very sad even though she was smiling.

At the thought, Manuel reached out his hand and gently touched her cheek, -Anna, don't laugh.

Anna's smile froze on her face and her eyes were slightly red, but she soon realized that she had been too direct like that. Quickly, she turned her back on him before the tears could fall. -Manuel, I am fine, but...I cannot be your uncle's wife in the future. You... don't blame me, do you?

Manuel did not know how to console her.

He held the cup of milk tea and answered her nothing.

-I had thought of being your Uncle Matteo's wife to spoil you more legitimately in the future, but now.... It seems that I can still spoil you if I don't. If you think of me, make a phone call and I'll pick you up right away. But your uncle is very busy at work. What happened today must not happen again in the future, okay?

She tried to speak as lightly as possible, as if she were saying something that had nothing to do with her. Manuel felt sad to hear this.

-Did you give up?

Anna's body stopped.

Had she given up?

She had been caught for so long, so she really had to give up.

If not, she would not have even the last part of herself left. In the future-how could she continue to live?

However, for Manuel, Anna did not want to convey her sadness to him, so she could only speak simply, -It's not that I'm laughing. I just found out that there are many funny things in life. Next, I'm going to open a store. I'll be very busy, so I won't have time to think about being your uncle's wife.
