Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1099: I don't need charity

It was the first time Anna lost her temper with Matthew and said those harsh words to him.

She did not do it without thinking, but deliberately, because knowing Matthew's relationship with Marcellus, Anna suddenly felt that he took pity on her and gave her charity. It made her feel angry and humiliated.

She was so angry that she bit her lower lip. But at that moment, Matthew suddenly took out a pen and wrote a note in front of her and handed it to her.

Anna looked at the note and gave Matteo a slow look, as if to ask what it meant.

-The address of the company, if you have to deliver to the takeaway, then deliver to the company, I will pay any amount.

Hearing this, Anna finally understood what he meant.

And Marcello, who had seen this scene, could not help but sigh in his heart for his best friend, maybe he should not have called Matteo today.

Or, perhaps, if he had left after calling the police, the girl would not have thought that he and Matteo knew each other.

Anna's anger had not yet subsided, so Matteo's next move added fuel to the fire.

After all, the act of delivery was a regular profession in many people's eyes, and even when she was about to deliver something, the receptionist had given her a dirty look.

The more she thought about it, the more anger burned in Anna's heart. She looked at the note in front of her as if it were a fire.

Slowly, she reached out her hand and took the card.

Matthew's lips puckered slightly as he watched Anna's movements, always with the feeling that something was wrong.

-Then I must thank you for your generous charity, but our store is small and cannot serve such a large and powerful customer as your group.

After finishing these words, Anna crumpled the note into a ball in front of Matthew's face.

-I said I won't bother you anymore. Besides, falling in love with you is something I've thought about, I have nothing to do with you, it's normal for you to reject it, you don't have to feel guilty or pity me for begging, I don't need it.

She separated her hands and dropped the paper ball.

The moment it fell, Anna's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile before she turned and ran away.

Matteo's brow furrowed so much as he watched the girl's back running farther and farther away that Marcello could not take his eyes off her and urged him on.

-You're not going after her?

Matteo stood still and did not move, his lips tight.

-I just don't understand you, running to the police station in such a hurry just to piss people off with a girl? Do you know how to talk or not? Even if you've never been in love, you don't have to be so wooden,right?

Matthew paid no attention to him, however, his eyes lowered to look at the note Anna had crumpled into a ball.

Earlier, at the party, the young woman had offered not to bother him anymore and had also refused his invitation to get into Luca's car.

He knew he had caused the young woman a lot of pain, so he did not try to force anything.

He never thought anything would develop with the girl.

After all, he had always been a lonely man and had never considered marriage or children, so the sudden pursuit of the young woman with such enthusiasm was something he had not anticipated. The person in question was also a friend of his sister, so Matthew could not do anything about it at first.

Finally...

With this in mind, Matteo interrupted himself in time, not daring to indulge in further thoughts.

Marcello had known Matteo for years and could not understand what he was thinking at that moment, so he put his arms around him and looked at him with distrust.

-With your nature you definitely won't go after her, so why don't I ask you, what the girl just said about you rejecting her, is it all true? At first you came to see me, I thought it was just that you were afraid to admit that you were in love with the girl, I didn't expect that there were actually so many entanglements between the two of you, no wonder you didn't want the girl to know in the first place, it turned out it was because you had done something wrong.

Hearing this, Matteo's eyes snapped open and he looked at Marcello with a sorry expression.

Marcello lifted the corners of his mouth slightly.

-What, did I say it wrong? You just pissed off someone's child, for a lifelong friend, how about you beg me for a word and I'll intercede for you? -put it down.

Matthew could take no more and threw an unpleasant word at him before leaving.

The matter of the police station was settled, so Marcello did not need to linger and, watching him go, took a quiet step to follow him.

-Your girlfriend will never know your bitterness unless you tell her about your love; do you know how hard it is to guess a woman's mind? All those nice things you do for her, if you don't say it clearly, she won't even know that you do it for her because you like her, she will think you are humiliating her.

The word made Matthew's heart flutter, yet he did not respond, striding forward.

-Are you sure you don't want me to help you?

Marcello was undaunted.

Matteo finally stopped in his tracks.

-Have you thought things through?

-Are you bored? Why do you care about these things?

Hearing this, Marcello raised an eyebrow,

-I don't care, maybe today he will get....

These last words Marcello did not continue, but they were self-explanatory and Matteo's head ached.

-That's not what I meant.

-What do you mean?

Matteo did not answer.

-Too embarrassed to say it? Can't you say it? Then why don't I say it for you? You rejected the girl and then regretted it, so you came to me, hoping I could help you. If you hadn't rushed into the situation today, I wouldn't have been sure of my suspicions, thinking that you had just rejected a girl and wanted to make it up to me, but now that I've seen you I think my suspicions were correct, and you've moved on, haven't you?

Matthew felt a sudden pang in his heart, and pain spread thickly through his limbs, and a pitiless look appeared on his forehead, and he spoke coldly.

-Stop talking nonsense and ruining the reputation of others.

With that, he turned and walked away, this time much faster than before.

However, being both men and with equally long legs, Marcello could keep up even though he walked faster and more effortlessly.

-Why am I looking at you as if you are angry? You don't care about the girls, why are you running to the police station in such a hurry? I called you ten minutes ago and you came ten minutes later? The office must be some distance from here, right?

Definitely hitting Matthew's weak spot, he paused to give him a warning look.
