Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1544 - The Battle of Two Men

After dinner

Anna replaces a surprising addition to the table, Manuel's playmate Angelica.

The daughter of the Rossi Group.

Anna looked at her round face and laughed, "Little Angelica, it's been so long, why are you so round again?"

Little Angelica blinked her round eyes, her skin grew paler and pinker, and she looked like a white cotton ball sitting next to the tall, thin Manuel.

He could not understand Anna's teasing, so he merely smiled stupidly at her.

That smile......

Anna froze for a moment and then looked at Lea, who was sitting next to her, who also gave a silly smile.

The corners of Anna's mouth twitched.

When she had met Angelica before, the child's smile had been innocent and sweet, how could she have become as goofy as Lea after only a short time with her?

But time flies, first Lea was a tiny baby who could only be held in her hands, and now she can sit on her own.

Serena let Cristian carry everything to the table before unfastening her coat and sitting down.

"Brother, Anna, I'm cooking for me tonight, so you will have some extra."

Since Serena and Anna knew each other first, Serena did not call Anna her sister-in-law as she normally did, but simply called her by her first name.

Cristian said irritably, "Because I don't usually see you being so careful with me, cooking for your own brother when he is here."

Anna blinked, and without waiting for Serena's response snapped, "Cristian, Matteo is not a stranger, he is Serena's brother, why are you still so jealous?"

Cristian's face changed slightly and his eyes narrowed toward her, but Anna was not afraid at all.

As it turned out, Cristian only gave her a fierce look and then withdrew his eyes without saying anything. "Okay, let's all stop talking and eat first."

Manuel sat next to his two sisters, keeping an eye on them and feeding them, and Angelica lent her flowers and put the crispy meat Manuel had given her into Lea's bowl before saying in a milky voice, "Sister this is for you to eat."

Lea blinked, her eye lashes growing like two small brushes as she held the drop-resistant bowl her parents had specially bought her, with cartoon animals painted on it, and said in a small barking voice, "Thank you, Sister Angelica."

"You're welcome, Sister Lea, take your time."

The three got along exceptionally well.

After dinner, Anna joined Serena in the kitchen and asked her, "What do you think of Angelica? Do you want to raise her as compensation for Manuel's future girlfriend."

At her words, Serena gave her a strange look.

"How is that possible? She's so young, they're just kids playing together, and besides, I really like her."

"I know, but I heard that Cristian was called at first under the guise of replaceing Manuel a girl?"

"Well, at first yes, but they are still very young, so I don't get involved in such things. However, you know that on things like relationships, adults can't interfere, and if they really are meant to be a couple later or then I won't object, but if the children don't like it then I can't force them to be together, so I'm not saying anything, we'll see how they see it when they grow up."

Serena turned on the faucet and the water filled with a splash as Anna put the clean dishes under the water.

"You're right too, but Angelica is a bit of an uncontrolled eater as a child, it's not good for her health to gain too much weight."

"I know," Serena nodded approvingly, "I think it's bad for her health too, I've told her several times, but each time she promises me that she won't overeat next time, but every time she sees food she forgets about it, abandoning all the instructions I gave her and her own promises."

"I think she is too young, but she will be able to control herself when she is older.

If she can't stop eating, don't put too much food in front of her when she comes here."

"Well, that's a good suggestion, I'll keep that in mind for later."

The two were chatting in the kitchen.

Suddenly, the kitchen door was opened and Matthew and Cristian walked in together.

"What are you doing here?" Serena asked, somewhat puzzled to see the two still without jackets and wearing only a white shirt.

Anna, who still had some foam on her hands, also looked at the two men in disbelief.

Cristian pulled up his sleeves and then stepped forward to take the still unbrushed plate from Serena, "The outside is clean, you go sit outside and leave this to me."

While she was talking, Matthew stood by the sink and took Anna's hand and washed it, saying softly, "The maids have washed the fruit outside, you go eat first, we will go home later."

In this way, the two women had just begun their work in the kitchen when they were driven out by the two men.

After the door closed, Anna and Serena looked at each other.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, why is she suddenly doing the dishes?"

"Do you usually do the dishes at home?"

"No, the maids do it."

"At our place, too."

The two were silent together after saying this. Was it because they were the ones doing the dishes that these two men would do them themselves? Thinking about it, Serena half-open her red lips, "Forget it, let them do it if they want, we are happy to be left alone, let's go spend time with the children." "Yes, yes."

What they didn't know was that after the two men had closed the kitchen door behind them, Cristian grimaced twice.

"I'm coming to help my wife with the dishes, what are you doing coming here to join the fun?"

At her words, Matteo gave him a cold look and reminded her, "There is not only your wife here, but also mine, and by the way Serena is my sister." Cristian laughed slightly, "So what? A brother is no match for his husband after all."

"Also, be nice to your sister-in-law from now on."

Cristian: "???"

"Or I will replace an excuse for Serena to come home and stay more often."

Cristian wanted to punch someone when he heard that, his smile was a bit grim, and then he tried to calm down after a moment.

"You know your wife loves Manuel, right?"

Matteo raised an eyebrow.

"After all, she had Manuel for so many years together before we had children, how about I let Manuel bring Angelica to your house too?" Matteo's eyes jumped to the corners and narrowed on him, their eyes passed back and forth several times in an instant, sharp stare. After a moment, they both looked away at the same time and stopped fighting!
