Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1343 - How to Swallow a Needle

So when she went to Matteo's, she waited for him to fall asleep immediately on the couch in the middle of Matteo's meeting.

Anna didn't even notice when Matteo came in.

She was dead asleep.

Matteo did not disturb her and went into the living room to get a blanket to cover her to prevent her from catching cold, and then went back to work.

Matthew thought that Anna would wake up alone in the middle of the day.

But at the end of the day, she was still asleep.

Matteo finally realized that something was wrong and approached Anna with some concern, only to replace her breathing regularly and her face flushed with sleep.

However, the gray and blue dark circles under her eyes were particularly visible on her pale cheeks.

Was this the reason she had slept so long today?

What had his girlfriend been doing lately?

At this thought, Matthew half-crouched in front of the sofa, his hand slowly reaching out.

The warm tips of his fingers fell around Anna's eyes, lightly and gently, as if they were dragonflies.

The office door was not closed, so Sabrina, who had come looking for Matteo, raised her hand to knock on the door and saw this scene.

She was stunned for a moment.

Matteo, who had always been a cold and self-possessed man, had actually shown such a kind expression, crouching down in front of a young girl, his fingers carefully touching her eyelids. The look in his eyes was not only loving, but also full of affection and sorrow.

Sabrina felt her heart immediately hard as pins and needles.

Why, to show her this scene?

Sabrina knew she could not continue to watch, but her steps did not move, and she remained frozen in place, watching the man she loved, looking fondly at the woman who was not herself. Her heart felt as if it had swallowed a pin.

Just as Sabrina checked her steps and was about to leave, Matteo looked toward her as if he sensed something.

Straight into her eyes.

Sabrina froze for a moment, looked away in dismay and, like a cat caught in the act, took a few steps back to stop outside the door without making a sound or movement. Matthew half-closed his lips and covered Anna with the blanket before stepping outside.

Once outside, his hand naturally pulled the door closed, trying to shut out sounds from outside so as not to disturb Anna, who was sleeping inside. "Anything for me?"

At that point, Sabrina looked up at him.

Compared to a moment before, there was no longer any attention in Matteo's eyes, and he looked at her with the same normal eyes with which he looked at everyone else. She had not thought that after all the years she had known him, he did not even have a special look in his eyes.

He seemed to have poured all his specialness into that woman, right?

Sabrina laughed bitterly in her heart, but her face was half-hearted, saying softly, "I just wanted to come and thank you, nothing else, and since you're busy, I'll go first." Matteo called Sabrina, with no emotion in his voice, "If you have a chance, ask Marcello out and we can be together."

Hearing him say that he wanted to get together with the three of them, Sabrina was a bit taken aback.

The three of them often got together when they were young, and Sabrina was the youngest and the only girl of the three, so she was the one being taken care of the most.

At first he had thought that such care might last for a long, long time, but he had never expected that such a situation would now turn out to be the case.

A faint smile crossed Sabrina's lips, and her tone was equally emotionless.

"I don't think it's necessary, after all you and Marcello should both be very busy and I have to work, although you have moved me to an easier position, I still can't neglect my duties, after all, now that I'm no longer the bridesmaid of the Ronzi family, I can't be free with many things as I was before."

Matteo stared at her, "You should know that it is possible...... if you wish."

Before he could finish his words, Sabrina's face took a big step back, as if she was wary, and stared at Matteo closely, "No, I am already happy that you can help me with my relocation, besides, the Ronzi family and the Giordano family are just on good terms, there is no special bond or relationship, so if you help too much you are crossing the line, you are the one who has a girlfriend now, and I, as a single woman, had better not accept too much help from you, otherwise......"

At this point, Sabrina cast a glance at the office door behind Matteo's back with a clear smile, "I can't let your girlfriend get the wrong idea when the time comes."

Matteo frowned and unconsciously replied, "Anna will not misunderstand me."

Sabrina was stunned, "She won't misunderstand you? Are you so sure? Does she trust you that much?"

Of course, in Matteo's mind, it said he was extraordinarily dependent and trusting.

Although Matteo did not clearly answer Sabrina's question, his expression said it all, and Sabrina felt no need to ask for more; asking for more would only deepen the hard feeling inside her.

"Well, let's pretend that there will be no misunderstanding, you are a very kind person and you had been able to go and bring me food when I was in the hospital before, so pretend that I'm afraid people will misunderstand, I will go first."

After Sabrina left, Matteo stayed in the same place looking over her shoulder, his gaze was thoughtful, there was the sound of the door opening behind him, Matteo turned his head and saw Anna standing there rubbing her eyes, "Did you finish the meeting? Why do I feel like I slept for a long time, did you just get back?"

Hearing these words, Matteo was sure that the girl had not heard them and had woken up herself rather than being awakened by the conversation, so he stepped forward and rubbed Anna's head, "Yes, I just finished the meeting, did you sleep well?"

Looking at Matteo in front of her, Anna thought for a moment and moved closer to him, stretching out in his arms and then wrapping her arms around his waist, "I overslept, what time is it?"

It was really long, Matteo thought, could it be long when he slept in and out of work? But Matteo thought it was better not to tell her and reached out to rub the back of her neck, "Are you hungry? Let me take you to dinner, will you?"

Dinner?

Anna was a little scared, how could she wake up and have to eat? She was not a pig, she was not supposed to eat right after waking up.

But when Matthew asked her, the craving in Anna's stomach seemed to click, and she felt really hungry.

She blinked a little and looked at Matteo.

"I think I'm a little hungry, I don't know what time it is. I'll check ......"

Her eyes were still a little dazed from her recent nap, and now she rubbed so confidently against the top of Matteo's chest. Matthew had not been very emotional, but after a while he was drawn into some confusion by that look on her face.

So when he heard Anna say she was going to check the time, Matthew's fingers gently touched her soft chin and he leaned down to kiss her lips.
