Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1312 - The wine fight

After the commotion, all that remained was endless loneliness.

So Matteo no longer wanted to go home with Marcello for New Year's Eve.

Whenever he came home for New Year's Eve, he was faced with a large, cold house with servants but no family inside.

He was also afraid that if he went too often, he would become more and more unbearable in loneliness, so he stopped going, without anyone knowing what he was going through and what kind of light he felt inside.

Anna did not know much about his past, and now when she watched him say this, there seemed to be a flash of despondency in his eyes, but he was soon enveloped by other emotions and invisible, and Anna anxiously tried to look for him, but could not replace him.

"What are you looking at me for? Eat properly." Matthew's hand went around the table and took her palm, giving it a gentle squeeze.

Such a gesture, right in front of her parents, immediately made Anna's face blush, and she looked away again and immediately lowered her gaze to her meal.

On the other side of the table, Mr. and Mrs. Galli could not help the slight smile that spread across their eyes as they watched the interaction between the young couple.

The meal started out a bit in bulk, but gradually the conversation got going. Giancarlo started talking to Matthew about work and then about certain business matters.

But after his latest car accident, Giancarlo had decided to take care of himself, and as soon as Amelia heard that he wanted to drink, she immediately crossed her gaze to him.

"Aren't you going to take care of yourself? What do you drink to keep yourself healthy?"

Giancarlo immediately slapped his thighs, saying, "Isn't Matteo here? I'm happy, so I'll have a drink with him."

Amelia didn't want to say yes, but she thought that Matteo had only come here once in a while, so he would only have one drink today.

So she agreed.

Anna, seeing Giancarlo's good mood, had to get up to get the wine, and then told Giancarlo, "Dad, you can't drink too much, even if you're happy."

"Go ahead, go ahead, what does the child care so much about?"

Anna sat down next to Matteo and whispered, "My father was a good drinker, so don't drink too much later."

What if he drank too much and got drunk? How could he come back then?

"Yes." Matthew replied, and his big hand came under the table again, shaking Anna's hand, Anna blushed slightly and tried to pull her hand back, but Matthew used some force, so Anna never pulled her hand back.

Since her parents were on the other side of the table, Anna did not dare to make too many moves, and after a few contractions she could not pull her hand back, so she gave up.

Amelia was worried about Giancarlo's health and got up while he drank and went to the kitchen to prepare some soup to use later if the two men got drunk.

Giancarlo said he drank very little at first, but when he did, he didn't stop, and the more he drank, the more he got high.

And Giancarlo is such a person, he used to feel that Matteo was a bit unreliable and had preconceptions about his identity, but now after seeing the other willing to sit and drink with him like this and talk about the world, Giancarlo's preconceptions about Matteo were not so deep and he kept pulling him in to talk.

"Matteo ah......"

Anna, who was on the side, was a little embarrassed when she heard this, "Dad......"

"No harm done." Matteo squeezed her hand again and gave her a reassuring look.

After that Amelia came out of the kitchen and called Anna, who just had to get up before Matteo let go of her hand.

Anna ran into the kitchen.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"How is your boy Matteo drinking? Can he drink? Your father drinks too much, he is always in the lead, in case

Matteo's ability to drink?

Anna had a bit of a headache because Matteo's drinking ability seemed to be very good. In the past, when she was not yet with Matteo, she had once substituted Serena and Matteo to go to toast together. Then ......

Anna was too embarrassed to remember the rest of the story, it was a bit humiliating.

And the next day she was so hurt by his words that even now, thinking about it, her heart burned.

"What's wrong?" Amelia's hand beckoned in front of Anna, who turned and saw Amelia staring at her, before shaking her head, "Nothing, I was just remembering, Mom, Matthew is a good drinker, better not let him drink too much."

"That's the end of it." Amelia's face became sad when she heard this, "Your father is a drunkard and if he catches someone who can drink well, he will have to drink with him all night, I should have stopped him."

"But didn't mom stop him just now? Dad is in a good mood, forget it, it's just for one night, it should be fine."

Although Anna was a little worried, the drinking thing, even if she was sad if you drank too much, if it was just for one night, it shouldn't be a problem, right? And it was a special night, so Anna didn't have too strong an intention to stop him.

"Forget it, let them drink if they want, but your boyfriend has to work tomorrow, right, you'd better go out later and tell him to pretend to be drunk, your father surely won't keep drinking if he sees the other person drunk alone."

"Yes, I know mom."

When mother and daughter came out of the kitchen, they both had sober soup in their hands, and as soon as they caught the smell of it, Giancarlo wrinkled his nose in disappointment, "You say, we're in the middle of drinking, it's been a short time, and you're cooking sober soup?"

Although the words sounded a bit reproachful, Giancarlo's tone and the look in his eyes were full of helplessness, not even a hint of reproach.

"What's wrong? Can't I prepare it for you in advance? Should I wait until you are drunk before cooking it?"

Amelia did not hesitate to give Giancarlo a look of dislike.

Giancarlo: ".

"Look at the way you talk, how can I get drunk? My drinking ability is well known in the neighborhood!"

Anna also brought the sober soup to Matteo's side and sat down, while Giancarlo and Amelia talked, she quietly leaned close to Matteo's ear and whispered, "My father is not only a good drinker he is a good winner, surely he will keep drinking until he knocks the other one out."

A faint smile surprised Matthew's lips at his words, he passed a glance to Anna and patted her hand from under the table to reassure her.
