Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 683: Acting according to circumstances.

After hanging up the cell phone, Manuel turned toward the door and met Anna's eyes.

-Aunt Anna, were you eavesdropping on my call?

Having been caught, Anna was in an embarrassing situation. So one could only blame that little brat for being so careful, she too could be noticed so cautiously.

-No," Anna appeared jumping out the door, giving Manuel an embarrassed nod, "I just came to ask you if you called your mother to inform her, not to deliberately listen to your call.

After speaking, Anna reached out and patted Manuel on the head, looking at him with a smile.

Manuel blinked and looked at her for a long moment, "Bullshit. You really wanted to hear the call.

Anna's smile froze for a few minutes, and then she simply admitted it: -Okay, okay. Did your mother ask you to wait for her?

Seeing that she had generously confessed, Manuel asked no further questions, but nodded his head.

The corners of Anna's mouth twitched: -Actually, I didn't listen to you on purpose, but in front of your uncle, remember not to expose your mother's things, understand?

-Why? -Manuel looked at Anna with small black eyes full of questions.

In front of those clean, scrupulous eyes, Anna could no longer lie, so she kept her eyes closed and then whispered, "Don't ask too many questions. I'll explain later, but not now. Manuel, I know you are different from ordinary children, very smart, so you have to promise me this time, okay? Let your mother take care of this matter.

After she finished speaking, Anna looked at him seriously.

Manuel also stared at her.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Manuel suddenly bowed his head, "But, I'm not informed of anything, and what can I tell uncle?

-You, why don't you know anything? Obviously you and your father....

Having said that, Anna reacted quickly and stepped forward to hug Manuel.

-Manuel, you are so smart. I like you so much.

Hearing this, there was an expression of disgust on Manuel's face. Then he reached out and pushed Anna away, groaning, -I only like my mother, Anna obviously prefers my uncle! -

When the little boy mentioned his concerns, Anna barely touched her nose in embarrassment and coughed softly, "Well, however you like your mother or your uncle, it's all the same. Anyway, I like you because you are so smart and cute?

Manuel ignored Anna's compliments, put down his cell phone and waited carefully for Mom to arrive.

There was no news about what had happened with Mom and Dad last night. He wasn't going to forgive Dad was he? He wasn't going to let that happen.

"That guy, Father, who often mistreated Mother, wanted Mother to forgive him so quickly. Don't even think about it!"

When Serena left, the Villa Atlantic driver accompanied her. When he arrived at the gate of the residence, Serena asked him to turn around. At first, the driver was a little worried and insisted on waiting for her to arrive.

Having no other choice, Serena had to tell the driver that Cristian was coming to pick her up. Everything had suddenly become clear, and so she consciously drove away.

After he left, Serena breathed a sigh of relief and went upstairs.

Entering the house, Serena immediately called Manuel's name.

Then she saw her little boy running down the stairs, fast enough to change Serena's complexion. She saw him running toward him fearfully, wanting to scream to stop him, but afraid it would make him wince and fall.

So when Manuel threw himself into Serena's arms, the first thing he did was reach out and pinch her ears.

-Who allows you to run so fast? The stairs are so high. If you run so fast, aren't you afraid of falling? Manuel, do you think your body is not made of flesh?

Her tone was stern and you could tell right away that she was not joking.

Manuel did not dare to contradict her instructions. He stuck out his tongue and grimaced, "I'm sorry, Mom. It's my fault. I was in a tizzy when I saw you, so...." After speaking, Manuel raised his little face, looking at her pitifully, with an expression of pleading love for what had been done.

At the sight of that child, the desire to continue scolding him vanished.

Manuel maliciously stretched out his little hand like an animal and pointed to his ear, moaning, "Mom, it hurts.

Serena unconsciously let go of his hand, then rubbed her ears, "Does it hurt? Is it because Mother applied too much force?

-Yes!" Manuel wrinkled his lips as if he had suffered an injustice and looked at her with tears in his eyes. The look made Serena feel distressed.

-I'm sorry. It's mom's fault. Don't be angry with mom, okay? Go wash your face. Change your clothes and let's go to your uncle's house. Manuel nodded obediently, -Then wait for me.

Manuel turned and went upstairs. As he was about to run, Serena said a few words to him again, so he had to climb the stairs slowly.

Anna was standing at the top of the stairs, watching everything that had happened a moment before, and after Manuel left, she came up to him to talk to her.

-Manuel's ability to gain sympathy was becoming more and more sophisticated.

He had given Anna a hopeless look. Although she knew Manuel had intentionally earned her sympathy at that moment, who would make him their son? She could only spoil him. -Matteo called you to come back suddenly. What is it? Doesn't he know what happened between you and Mr. Ferrari?

At his exclamation, Serena was calm, as if she was not worried at all.

Anna could not help but feel a little strange, -Why are you so calm? He is your brother, you are not worried.

Serena raised her eyes, looked at her calmly and then whispered, -If I'm worried, will it help? Anyway, he will replace out sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if he already knows or not. Hearing this, Anna also thought that what she had said was reasonable.

If Serena was with Cristian, then Matteo would definitely replace out sooner or later, so whether he knew now or later... it seemed to make no difference.

Thinking about it, Anna nodded her head, -So have you prepared to tell your brother?

How are you going to tell him?

Thinking about what she would have to tell Matteo and the request she would make, Serena felt the coldness in her back, but it seemed there was no other way.

She smiled, "We will see. We will act according to the circumstances."
