Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 944: Sobriety

Serena will misunderstand...

Serena will misunderstand...

Only these words remained in Anna's mind, and a startling thought flashed through her mind, and Anna quickly erased and denied it. How could this be? She should be wrong.

Even as Anna consoled herself, Matthew noticed that her face turned pale at that moment, as if she had received terrible news.

When he had rejected her before, his face was not so ugly.

Thinking about this, Matthew realized that she had probably misunderstood what he had just said.

Regardless of whether it was necessary, he frowned and asked her, "What are you thinking?

It would be good if he didn't ask, and when he did ask, it gave him a feeling as if he had a guilty conscience. Anna bit her lower lip and repressed the thoughts in her heart. -You just said Serena will misunderstand, what do you mean?

She bit her lower lip and squatted down to ask.

As Matthew listened, he frowned.

She really misunderstood what he meant.

Fortunately, she had asked another question.

Matteo moved the bag he was holding to the other side and said in a low voice, "Serena is my only relative, and I am also her only relative. If I, her brother, have any progress from my relationship, she will surely be the one who will worry the most. And you, you are her friend, I don't want her to think that there is any possibility between you and me, and also think of ways for us to be together. These words came through clearly, didn't they?

After hearing Matthew's explanation, she breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she felt like her heart was broken.

Fortunately, it was not what she thought.

But... he didn't like her to such an extent that he feared Serena would look for ways for them to be together.

He lowered his eyes, as if losing his composure.

-All right, I understand, I'll buy a coat later, and return yours.

After speaking, she turned quickly and walked forward.

This time, Anna walked very fast and quickly turned back when she saw a women's clothing store nearby.

Of course, Matteo did not go inside either, standing outside waiting indifferently with a bag in his hand.

About a few minutes later.

A saleswoman came out with a black coat in her hand, looked around, and finally fixed her eyes on Matteo, as if to confirm something.

Matteo noticed that she was holding her coat and approached.

-What is the problem?

-Sir, is this your coat?

Matteo nodded, -Well, haven't you bought anything yet?

The saleswoman smiled, her eyes looking a little uncomfortable.

-Yes, the lady asked us to return your coat.

Matthew was silent for a moment before reaching out to take the coat.

Probably because he thought it would not look good when he was holding it, the saleswoman said again, -Wait a moment, I'll bring you a bag to pack it.

Matthew did not refuse. Soon she brought the bag and packed his coat. At this point, Anna had not yet left.

The saleswoman's expression looked a little hesitant. Matteo looked at her and she said hesitantly, -Sir, the lady inside said she would stay longer here to buy things, so.... then go back first. Matthew stopped with the bag in his hand and after a while nodded, -Okay.

After thinking about it, he said again, -Tell her to come back as soon as possible, otherwise her friend will worry about her.

-All right sir, I will tell her.

Quickly, Matthew took the bag and left without looking back.

When the saleswoman returned, Anna sat on the chair in the dressing room in a daze, wearing the newly purchased coat.

When she returned, Anna looked at her expectantly.

She said to Anna with a hurt expression.

-Ma'am, that gentleman has left now.

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw the light in Anna's eyes disappear.

In an instant, the atmosphere became heavy, the sales clerk had not seen anything like that, so she was a little helpless, she did not know how to comfort her, let alone whether she would buy this coat or not. However, the man did not do well, she told him to come back earlier, and he actually came back.

-Are you a couple?

At the sound of his voice, Anna returned to consciousness and shook her head with a wry smile, "No."

Suddenly, the clerk's expression looked embarrassed.

If they were not engaged, then--she was not qualified to criticize the man.

-I like him, but he doesn't like me.

After talking, Anna took off her clothes and handed them to the sales clerk.

The sales clerk's face was a little ugly, but she said nothing, she was already so sad that she was definitely not in the mood to buy clothes.

-Help me pack.

The sales clerk was a little surprised, but nodded her head.

-All right, wait a minute.

After paying, Anna took the clothes and prepared to leave.

The sales clerk chased after her and headed for the door. Seeing her desperate look, she could not help but say, -Miss, it's very cold. You should put on your clothes. I can help you cut the label. Listening, Anna paused for a moment and then smiled kindly at her.

-No need, I'm not cold.

-Sir, you are not cold now because there is heating in this mall. When you leave the mall, it won't be warm anymore.

-I know, I'll use it after I leave the mall, and now--I'm going to see other stores.

Anna had said that, and the saleswoman didn't insist anymore, just nodded and watched her leave.

Anna took out the clothes in her hand and left the mall.

Indeed, as the saleswoman said, she was no longer warm after leaving the mall, but this time Anna really felt that it was not as cold as before.

Her clothes were in her hand, but she definitely did not want to wear them.

Maybe this coldness could sober her up?

Thinking about this, Anna curved her lips and smiled.

When she became more sober, she might diminish her taste for Matthew. It had been so long. Although she was deeply in love, it was not impossible to diminish her love. Anna walked forward aimlessly, her body almost numb with cold.

She had had a life with ease since childhood, when she encountered some small difficulty, she could solve it at any time, just the feelings.

Secret love, one-way love.

It was really bitter.

So bitter.

If it was possible, she really hoped she could master her own heart. If Matthew didn't like her, then other people could like her.

It wasn't that no one liked her.

Anna laughed and shed tears, and people on the street looked at her like she was crazy.

I didn't know how long this situation would last.

Finally, when a figure blocked her path, her steps stopped.

When she saw a familiar pair of shoes, her heart pounded.

Could it have been that Matthew had come back for her?

After raising her head, she saw Luke standing before her with a frown on his face.

After Luca saw the tear marks on her face, his eyebrows wrinkled further.

-Luca?

Anna laughed self-deprecatingly when she saw him.
