Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 976: Stay!

Anna kept touching the garlic, and then quickly cut it into several pieces.

Looking at the garlic, Serena asked curiously, "Are you going to eat it? -would that be a problem? -Anna replied.

-No, of course not, what I meant was, do you like the taste of garlic?

After his words, Anna immediately reacted and said, -You're right, my better half is still here, I shouldn't eat garlic. If I have a chance to talk to him in private, garlic breath will be very bad for him when I open my mouth.

Thinking of this, Anna immediately threw the cut garlic into the garbage.

Then she quickly cleaned the kitchen knife and the table.

-Thank goodness you warned me," Anna murmured.

She looked intensely at Anna, Serena found no sign of dodging her gaze, she seemed to have forgotten all the words between them.

-Doesn't care about them, or out of carelessness? -Serena thought and said, -Well...did you hear what I said?

-On What? -Anna replied.

-Maybe Luke is jealous, II said Serena.

-That's impossible! -Anna shouted.

-How do you know? You're suspicious, too, aren't you? You're not sure, that's all," Serena replied.

-You're right, I am a little suspicious, but I consider it carefully, I think it's impossible that Luca fell in love with me. We have known each other for a long time, if he liked me he would tell me. However, he denied it when I asked him that day. I really regret asking him for quick impulses, I am so ashamed that I asked such a question.

-Well, I don't know what I can tell her. I'd better stay out of her business," Serena thought.

And Serena said nothing more; the two people cooked in silence.

At that moment, Cristian fell asleep, so Serena prepared a ration of food for him in advance, when he woke up, it would be more convenient for him to eat.

When Serena got the food in the refrigerator, she heard Matteo Giordano say something.

-Tomorrow I go back to my country," Matteo said.

After his words, the chopsticks that had been in Anna's hand fell to the floor.

It seemed that time had not passed, after a while, Anna lowered her head in embarrassment, and prepared to pick up the chopsticks that had slipped.

But one person acted more nimbly than she did, Luke picked up the chopsticks and put them on the table, then went to the kitchen to get another pair of chopsticks for Anna.

When he received the chopsticks, Anna was uncomfortable and said, -has he...?

-You don't know how to hold chopsticks well, how clumsy," scolded Luke in a low voice.

Immediately Anna opened her eyes furiously.

But she did not feel like paying attention to his insults, Anna turned her gaze to Matthew and asked intensely, -When we got into the car, you said you would stay for a few days, didn't you? Why are you leaving tomorrow? Are you in a hurry, is it easy to book places?

-Chiara Gatti will handle it well," Matteo replied.

Hearing Chiara's name, Anna was silent and thought, "Yes, so many days have passed, it's time for Chiara to start working. She will be able to take care of all the business she has to take care of. After a while Anna said, "Can I go back with you? Now I'm going to book seats.

After the words, she ate no more, and went to her room to get her cell phone, leaving the bowl and chopsticks on the table.

Everyone remained silent.

Serena cast a furtive glance at Luke, she was in doubt from her normal expressions, there seemed to be no change of mood for Luke. But after thinking for a while, Serena dispelled the suspicion, after all, Luca was working under Cristian Ferrari's direction, for them, his joy and anger were invisible.

-Why are you in such a hurry, Matteo? I didn't know you were leaving tomorrow," Serena asked, and took a bowl of broth for herself.

Matteo turned his gaze to his sister and said in a softer tone, -Something thorny has come up in the company, I have to go back and undo it. I thought I could stay a few more days with you, but the current situation does not allow me to. Be careful, I know it is difficult for you to be in a foreign country alone. If you will have difficulties, don't endure them alone, I am your strongest support.

Saying this, Matthew paused. His lips moved slightly, he seemed to have something on the tip of his tongue.

After a while he said slowly, "Although the Calligaris family is strong, the Giordano family is not shy, you know what I mean?

Serena was stunned, yes, she understood him well.

Serena thought: -Matteo was afraid that Angelo Calligaris would act against Serena, even with the strength of his family, what it meant to her was that if she needed the Giordano family, he would help her and not back down, no matter what happens.

-I have an older brother like Matteo who is so strong, who is so good, I feel like he could save the world," Serena thought.

Said Serena with tear-filled eyes, -Matteo.

-OK, let's drink the broth," replied Matteo.

Serena drank the broth, lowering her head, but Luca was looking at her at that moment. He did not think Matteo would treat Serena so tenderly.

-But the way he spoke to Anna was so cold.

-Was that the reason Anna was so sad?

-However, I am no one, I am in no position to scold her. Actually, I did not play with Anna's feelings, my attitude is clear.

-If Anna continues to lose herself in her emotions, she will be in trouble, II Luca thought.

At this thought, Luca's heart ached.

-If Anna continues to fall in love with Matteo, being unrepentant like me, what could

happen? -Luca thought.

-Oh, no! Why are there no empty seats for tomorrow? -I didn't think there were no more seats available for tomorrow, why do so many passengers want to return to their country in the morning? It's so strange.

As Anna said this, she stood up next to Matteo, looking at him with a pained look, and said, -Could you stay a few more days, don't you still have enough time to have a nice talk with Serena?

Matteo frowned and replied, -There is an emergency in the company, I have to go out.

Hearing his tone, Anna felt she had no more chance, bit her lip and returned to her seat, lowering her head.

Everyone could see that Anna had lost her spirit.

Everyone was thinking their own thoughts at lunch.

Lunch over, Serena did not take long to return to her room.

Late in the evening, Domenico had come for the Calligaris family's command, and he had invited everyone to dinner at his house.

Thinking that Matteo would be out in the morning, Serena agreed to his request because she had to discuss precisely some business with Angelo.

-Of course, it is not an insignificant thing, I will have to explain it well to Angelo. With Manuel's efforts, I don't know if he will be kinder to me," Serena thought.

Anna was in no mood to do anything about Matteo's departure, and when the others decided to have dinner at Angelo's house, she refused.

Matteo did not feel like going, but she could not ignore him, considering the relationship between them and Serena.

-As a member of the Giordano family, I have to go," Matteo thought.

In the end, what was left was Luca and Anna.

Luke was trying to go with them, but when he left the house, Cristian made a profound gesture to him and said, -Stay!
