Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1342 Souvenir

Do you want to give a gift? I think it would be nice to give it in person."

"!!!"

Anna saw the message and her whole body immediately turned mean.

Oh my God, would someone tell her why Marcello would say such a thing? It was so humiliating to even hear it, okay?

Anna didn't want to talk to him anymore and wouldn't even respond to his messages.

Instead, Marcello sent her another unsolicited message.

"Anna, why did you suddenly think of giving Matteo a gift?"

When Anna saw the message, she did not want to talk to him, but after thinking about it, she replied.

"No, I just thought that I have been with him for a long time and we don't have any souvenirs, so I ...... wanted to give him something."

A souvenir?

Seeing those words, Marcello felt his heart finally let go.

He had just thought carefully when he saw the gift and realized that soon it was his best friend's birthday, and at first he had been quite worried that Anna was trying to give him a birthday present. But now that he had asked and realized that she was not, Marcello was naturally relieved.

Anna's answer was good and grating. So Marcello didn't suspect anything; after all, she was just a little girl who wanted to give her boyfriend a present as a memento of her relationship.

But Marcello felt the need to make a mention to Anna.

"Anna, you're not thinking of giving Matteo a gift for some party, are you?"

He didn't mention birthdays directly, just holidays, and if Anna had that in mind, then she should be able to associate it, Marcello thought.

But people think differently, so how could Anna know what Marcello was thinking?

So after his question, Anna thought, Where are the holidays these days?

After doing the math, Anna shook her head and said, "There are no special holidays these days."

At this, Marcello finally relaxed.

It seemed that he simply wanted to send a souvenir.

Afterwards, Marcello and Anna got serious and discussed.

"In all the time I've known Matteo, I've never seen him get excited about anything, so I suggest you don't think about replaceing him something he likes, just something you think is collectible or memorable, something that represents both of you."

"Well?" Anna was amazed by this suggestion, "Marcello how do you know so much, you are amazing."

As soon as the message was sent, Anna realized she had said something wrong.

Marcello had been so devoted to his wife, so depressed after her death, that he had never married again or allowed another woman to come near him.

It was clear that he was devoted to his wife, so...... these were things he had probably done before.

Even though he knew he had said the wrong thing, it was too late to recant at this point, and recanting would have made it sound even more like nonsense.

Perhaps Marcello didn't even think so, and seeing her recant would have brought out Marcello's sadness instead.

So Anna could only play dumb and keep asking, "So, brother, is there any good advice?"

For a moment, Marcello thought about his dead wife.

It was true that Marcello always thought of these things when the two of them were together, but his wifey also bought souvenir collections like Anna did, saying she wanted to treasure them as memories of the two of them.

Memories are always bittersweet and tinged with bitterness.

But at the same time they are also happy.

Marcello felt like he was back to the time when they first got together.

He began to type, his fingertips hopping across the screen, relaying to Anna, one by one, what his wife had done at that moment.

"There isn't a specific one for this, it could be a small object that is a reminder of a place the two of you have traveled, or a precious memory that you both used to hold on to. I mean, there are a lot of things like that, I can't give you any extra advice on what to give, after all, it's you who are together and you know better than I do what you've been through."

Anna stared at the words for a long moment, yes, having gone through what she herself knew best.

"I understand, thank you Marcello for clarifying things for me."

Putting the phone away, Anna began to think back to what they had gone through in the last few days.

There did not seem to be many places they had gone together, and the only time the two had gone out on a trip alone was when Serena had arranged it for them.

But...... hadn't thought about buying souvenirs while they were on the island.

There were all kinds of things for sale on the island at that time, but she hadn't thought of anything.

It was only now that she thought about it, and it didn't seem like it was a good thing!

Anna held her head in her hands and felt a headache.

A couple of days later, the travel company called her to tell her that the photo albums and records of the trip were ready and that she should go sometime.

Anna took the call and had nothing to do, so she went to get the album in the afternoon.

The moment she picked up the album, Anna was immediately inspired.

Although she and Matthew had not lived much, there were still some small parts of them.

It was a joy to think about them.

"By the way, Mrs. Giordano, this is a small local gift that our company prepared for you and Mr. Giordano."

Anna was so surprised to receive a small gift from the local community, and she was so happy to receive it, "Your company is so thoughtful, thank you! I like it very much."

The staff laughed like a maharajah, "If Mrs. Giordano likes it, then Mrs. Asia and Mr. Giordano should come back to us next time they want to make another trip like this, or if they have friends who are close to each other, they can introduce them to us."

"No problem." Anna graciously agreed, and afterwards the staff member asked Anna to go on the app and give a positive review for their company, and Anna did not refuse, giving a very generous review text, praising the company and staff performance.

The staff member was as happy as if he were floating on a cloud and left in a state of satisfaction.

When he left, Anna took the bag home.

Inspired, Anna picked up her book and began to write down her plans.

Eventually, Anna realized that she actually ran out of time, since it was only a week before Matteo's birthday, so Anna had to stay up late to work on it.

Since Matteo didn't need anything, Anna didn't think about the value for money or practicality of the gift she was giving him, so she did it in appreciation.

So she had to fold 9,999 paper cranes.

But the difficulty factor was so high that it was scary to think about folding them all in a week, but Anna would not give up if she wanted to do it, so she started folding the cranes day and night as souvenirs. She stayed up late and had dark circles under her eyes because of it. The cranes are a great way to remember Anna.
