Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1266 People are old friends.

Matthew arrived late.

And twenty minutes later than expected.

The first thing he said when he entered the hall was.

"Sorry I'm late."

Serena could not help but raise an eyebrow at his words, she knew her brother well enough to know that Matteo was the kind of person with a strong sense of time, he would definitely show up in ten minutes if he said he would be there in ten minutes.

Now he was twenty minutes late, so I guess there really was a delay.

"Uncle, is there a traffic jam?" Manuel suddenly asked at the table.

Matthew cast a glance at Manuel and said weakly, "That's another thing, did you come too?" His eyes passed over Cristian and Lea, who was in his arms.

The little one and the big one were sitting by Serena's side as if they were afraid she would run away.

Matthew sighed a little at this sight.

He had thought that his sister would have to live alone with Manuel, but now, after all this time, she had even given birth to her second child.

He was also quite satisfied.

"Matthew."

At the moment he was thinking, there came a voice with a subtle tremor, a shiver.

Matthew looked toward the source of the voice, and there was a generously dressed woman with gentle eyebrows looking at him, with restrained excitement in her eyes.

At first it seemed a little strange, but gradually he connected with the memory of that figure and then it became familiar.

Matteo's cold, hard eyes and expression softened a little, "It's you, how are my uncles?"

Sabrina did not know how to describe how she felt at this moment when she saw her childhood friend, because there were so many things she wanted to say, but now she could not say a word, and she had gone through many ups and downs when she had come to Matteo's.

Although she had held back her emotions, after days of loneliness and traveling, she had begun to lose control of her emotions after seeing the person she most wanted to see.

The atmosphere seemed to become a little delicate.

Sabrina turned around in panic and reached out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes before turning away at length.

Her eyes were still a little red from crying and her eyes were a little watery.

She smiled and said softly, "I'm sorry, I haven't seen anyone for a long time, so I lost control.

As she said this, Sabrina also looked at Serena and her family, not just Matteo.

Serena smiled and shook her head.

Matteo was silent for a long time, then took a handkerchief from the side and approached, "Wipe it."

Sabrina apologized and took it.

Manuel watched the scene with some discomfort.

Although he knew that the other woman had done nothing but shed a few tears, he could not control his emotions, but the fact that his uncle had handed her a handkerchief made Manuel feel uncomfortable. He said nothing though, but turned his head and met Serena's eyes.

Serena patted him on the head and whispered, "Don't think too much, they are just old friends and the fact that Aunt Anna is your future aunt won't change."

Manuel grunted softly at the thought, "I don't care about that."

"Really?" Serena nodded her forehead, "You're my son, what do you think I don't know?"

Serena had guessed what Manuel was thinking from the moment he wanted to follow her, after all he and Anna had lived together for many years and he had long looked forward to having Anna as his aunt, and when he heard that a woman who had been engaged to his uncle as a child was coming, Manuel was probably the one who was most nervous.

Manuel grunted heavily and did not say another word, and he certainly did not deny it again.

After that everyone sat down and Sabrina collected herself and started talking to everyone, Matthew noticed that she had not responded when he had asked her about her parents earlier and sensed that something had happened.

At first people didn't want to talk about it and he didn't have to ask, but there was probably a reason she had come to see him.

"Uncle and Aunt ...... What happened?"

Sure enough, once her parents were mentioned, Sabrina was silent for a while before speaking slowly, "They both died."

Not only Matteo but also the others at the table were taken aback by this answer, especially Serena, who was shocked, but come to think of it, how could she have come here alone if her parents had not both died?

Matteo took almost a minute to digest this fact, his face took on a slightly somber expression, "Did something happen after you moved abroad that year?"

Sabrina looked at him, biting her lower lip slightly as she explained with a bitter smile, "We had a good time as a family after we moved, then my father saw a project abroad, but the initial capital for that project was high, so he partnered with someone, and then ......'

Here he paused for a moment and then said, "Then something happened, the project was in trouble and we the Ronzi family made a huge debt and the company went bankrupt without even paying it back." Matteo paused with his hand and tightened his lips, "Why wasn't I told?"

According to the friendship between the Ronzi family and the Giordano family, the Giordano Group would not have stood by if the Ronzi family had only asked.

It's not little, it's too much, it's a trap, the Ronzi family has already suffered, how could other families get involved? My father was going to be strong all his life, even if it was not a trap he would not have asked for help."

Matteo thought of his uncle, who always had a stern and unpleasant air whenever he met him, but Matteo knew that he was a very good elder.

He was stern, but he was decent and showed no favoritism toward his own children, and family rules had taught Sabrina very well.

If she asked for help, Matteo would not refuse.

Matteo did not know anything about what had happened, so I guess Zia had ordered him not to say anything.

That's why Sabrina went to him after her parents died.

Matteo had mixed feelings.

"He told me at the end of his life that he was not allowed to ask anyone else, that he had to carry everything himself, and that only when he got over it could he really get up. Unfortunately, he never had a chance to get up again."

Bada bada bada -

Sabrina could not hold back any more tears, she took a handkerchief and wiped them away, a smile on her face despite the falling tears, "So Matteo, you don't have to feel guilty, the Ronzi family is gone now, I will try to revive it later."

Matteo said nothing, just nodded approvingly.

"Actually I wanted to come back to you a long time ago, it's just that our family had an accident too soon, and it's been many years since it happened."

Only when her parents died and Sabrina finished taking care of things at home did she have a chance to come out.
