Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 946: I've liked you for a long time.

This question was the same one she had asked him in the kitchen.

Luca's ears immediately turned red, and then he asked the waiter for the menu.

It was impossible for Anna to ask for the menu at this point, so Luca lent himself to order something to warm her up without asking her anything, and then handed the menu back to the waiter.

After the waiter left, Luca found that Anna was still staring at him, whose gaze was straight, and her eyes looked red and swollen from crying, then looked very poor.

-You still haven't answered my question.

She said stubbornly.

Luke was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he quietly explained, -We are acquaintances. If one day you see someone you know walking down the street crying, don't you worry at all?

Hearing his explanation, Anna thought he was right. She nodded her head and then said, -It turns out to be so, so it's okay...I thought...you like me.

Luca's hand movement stopped and he looked at her.

Anna no longer looked at him, but lowered her eyes to look at the table.

-If you say you like me again, I will definitely reject you.

Luca felt nervous and the red in her eyes faded.

Unfortunately, oblivious to the changes in his mood and behavior, Anna kept saying to herself, _If you really liked me and I rejected you, you would surely become very sad, like me now, sad and embarrassed. Luke caught an important piece of information from her words and narrowed his eyes slightly.

-Like you now?

-Yes, I was rejected a moment ago, II Anna raised her head and deliberately gave Luca a big smile. Is my appearance now really bad? You saw what happened to me. It feels bad to be rejected, especially wher you still like the other person.

For a moment, Luca could not express how she felt at this moment.

He did not know what had happened to her and anxiously stepped forward just to comfort her. But it turned out that, being inexperienced, he could not say a word of comfort upon her arrival.

Now...

Suddenly she discovered that she had been rejected-who was she?

-So, fortunately, you consider me just a friend. If you liked me, you would be as miserable as me....

After speaking, Anna unexpectedly laughed happily.

Luke felt a little indescribable, the hand that had previously been resting on the table also silently moved under the table and placed it on his lap. He did not even notice that her hand had gradually closed into a fist.

Judging from her appearance, she did not seem to have simply fallen in love with him, but to love him deeply.

-How long does it last?

Luca heard her own voice asking.

-Huh? -Anna did not seem to understand what he had asked her.

Luca smiled slightly, -How long have you liked this person?

Anna looked dumbfounded. She lowered her head and began to count her fingers, whose cute face made her want to hug her.

After counting for a long time, Anna raised her head and said anxiously, "Almost four years.

At this point, Luke inexplicably curled his lips.

-Four years?

He carefully counted the days and found that he had liked Anna, almost six years.

Time passed too quickly, unexpectedly.

Time passed each day without stopping.

If he had not counted carefully, it would have really seemed to him that things had happened yesterday or a long time ago. Luca's thoughts were a bit in a trance.

-Yes, four years! -Anna nodded her head vigorously, -How long has it been, right? I never thought I could like him for so long, it's been four years now....

She crooked her finger to count and said, -How many years of youth is this, four years of youth!

Luca thought.

"I have liked you for a long time."

Although he himself did not know why he had fallen in love with Anna, this feeling was inexplicable, but it really moved him at that moment.

Since Luca had worked with Cristian, all his time had been devoted to work.

When he had time, he was too tired to look for a girl. Even though his parents had rushed him, he himself was willing to be alone.

After all, Cristian was so important to him that he would sacrifice his life for him.

If Cristian had not helped him out at that time, he might still have been in a desperate situation, or he would have died, and his family would have been destroyed as well.

Then, discovering that he had feelings for Anna, Luke grieved for a moment and quickly hid his thoughts deep in his heart for many years.

When he saw her in front of him again, the hidden feelings began to surface.

Later, seeing and remembering each other many times, his emotions began to grow.

Thinking about this, Luke looked up and his gaze fell on Anna again.

If right now he told her that he liked her, would she accept him?

But in this case, if he did, would he not take advantage of her difficulty?

The fist resting on his leg tightened and finally loosened.

Well, right now, saying so, wouldn't that be unfair to both of them?

Since she had been rejected, it was better for him to wait for her to sort out her feelings, and when she stopped loving him with an empty heart, he would replace a means to let him into her heart. Unfortunately, his appearance now...

He did not know if he could get Anna's love, but if he did not try, no one knew the consequences.

Later, when the waiter was serving dishes, Anna suddenly asked for alcohol.

The waiter was stunned for a moment and then looked at Luca.

Luca immediately stopped her.

-You have been in the cold wind for so long. Drinking alcohol is not good for your stomach. You need to drink something warm before eating.

-No.

Anna shook her head, -I want to drink now.

After that, she stared at Luca, -You don't know...how bad I feel right now.

Luca replied, -... If you drink, your stomach will feel uncomfortable and then you will feel even worse.

-It doesn't matter, I just want to drink. Luca, aren't you my friend? Listen to me just this once.

Friend.

Luca felt helpless: was this a trap he had dug for himself? If he had known, he would not have said they were friends. Now he was always putting him on the spot under the pretext of being friends. Just as Luke was about to speak again, Anna made a pleading gesture, -Please, I only drink once!

"You only drink once?

Once is not enough?"

-And since I am very cold, don't you know that drinking also helps me to get warm?

What he said was right, then, Luke was speechless, and could only nod his head, -Well... you can only drink a little, and you have to eat something first.

Anna quickly agreed.

Soon she poured the alcohol, but Luca could not stop her.

She ate a little obediently first, but she drank so much that at the end she was all red in the face and so drunk that she started talking like a madwoman. Luke began to regret having agreed to let her drink.
