Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 984: Don't consider yourself his favorite anymore.

Hearing this, Manuel was surprised.

Angelo had found him specifically to talk to him about the matter. He told him that Serena and Cristian would be returning to the village in a few days and asked him if he wanted to return with them or stay with him.

If he stayed with him, she would not be too lonely.

To make him stay, Angelo had even pretended to be sad in front of a child.

But it was over now, he suddenly felt that it was too unfair to him.

Manuel understood that he knew Angelo's intentions. After all, he was a particularly intelligent child.

So he had said that for the time being, he was willing to stay.

"Mother has already suffered so much. She cannot be left to suffer any longer." These were Manuel's thoughts at that moment.

Great-grandfather, if I go back to Mother, you will be very poor. I feel sorry for you and I will not go back to Mother.

When Angelo heard this, he was moved.

-If you feel sorry for me, don't you feel sorry for your mother?

Manuel blinked and said in a low voice, -Mom has daddy to keep her company, but great-grandfather-you have no one to keep you company, so I have to do it. -What a boy!

Moved, Angelo reached out his hand to hug him. His whole heart was warmer than before.

Unexpectedly, he found in Manuel the familial love he had missed for many years.

***

On the way back, Serena gave Cristian a deeply worried look, as if hesitating to speak.

Cristian raised his head and saw her distractedly, "Worried about Manuel?

Serena nodded.

-Don't worry. Grandpa likes him a lot. Besides-if you don't think much of him, we'll bring him right back to you.

-But... Angelo.

-Since he recognized you, he shouldn't embarrass you in the future anymore, not to mention that he loves Manuel so much, right?

-Actually... Your grandfather is a good person. He saved you, too. He is not only a member of our family, but also our benefactor. I don't think it's too much to let Manuel still accompany him. It's just that... Manuel is so small now. So it's unfair to him.

Small?

Cristian remembered that Manuel had cheated him. The maneuver was not something a child would do.

He even felt that any decisions made for him were based on his consideration. It was impossible for them to be made easily for him, even if he, his father, did.

However, he had always behaved remarkably well in front of Serena, with no bad intentions, so Serena did not know how hateful his son was.

-Let's see. We still have time.

-Okay.

It could only be that way.

If it were possible, Serena would still be selfish. She hoped that... Manuel would return to the country with her. As for Angelo, if he wanted to get back together, she would be very happy. She was afraid that... he would reject him.

Luca went downstairs and bought a lighter and cigarettes. Then he leaned against the balcony to smoke. The cold wind had blown away the smell of cigarettes. At first he simply stood, and soon he probably thought that smoking did not interest him. He stopped and sat back in his chair, looking at the stars and the moon in the sky.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the room.

There was a knock on the door.

Luke's eyes grew dim, and he stood up and looked inside.

The knocking continued.

The sound of knocking at the door caused Luca to see, through the balcony window, a figure standing in front of Matthew's room knocking repeatedly on the door.

Luca opened the door, entered, and discovered that the person knocking on the door was actually Anna.

Luca immediately frowned. "This girl was not sleeping well just now, why is she getting up and knocking on the door?" he thought.

-Open the door, open it.

Knock on the door.

Since there was no answer after knocking for a long time, Anna began to knock again, shouting to open as she knocked.

-Open the door. Open it. I know you are inside. Open it for me now.

Anna had directly stroked her hand, which immediately turned red.

Suddenly, a figure rushed toward her, blocked her wrist and pulled her to the side.

-What are you doing? Drunk as you are. Go back to sleep.

-What? -Anna's eyes widened, as if trying to figure out who the person in front of her was. She stayed looking at her for a long time and suddenly shouted, "Luca.... I'm knocking on Matteo's door. Quiet, don't make any noise! I have something to tell him.

Then Anna pushed Luca away. He turned to leave again.

He took a few steps, but found that he could not walk at all.

Anna turned her head and noticed that Luca was still pulling on her wrist. She tried to struggle, but Luca's strength was so strong that he could not escape.

After struggling for a few seconds, Anna's nose crinkled: -Why are you pulling me? I have very important things to do. Let me go..

Important things...

Of course, that person was no longer looking at her, but she treated him like a treasure.

She had gotten drunk twice for him, but it was Luca who accompanied her.

Thinking about it, she saw something hostile in Luca's eyes and the strength increased a little.

-Something important? A man who doesn't even look at you with his eyes, is that important? Can you clearly see that he doesn't like you at all? Do you care to dwell on mistakes? Although Anna was drunk, she retained a trace of reason and could clearly hear Luke's words.

Soon her face turned pale.

She bit her lower lip and looked at Luca angrily.

-What nonsense are you talking? You don't have to mind my business, leave me!

She tried with all her might to let go of Luca's hand, however, he held onto it unsuccessfully.

Anna's volume increased: -I told you to leave me!

Luca said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Luca finally let go.

Anna withdrew her hand. Then Luca saw that there was a blue bruise on her white wrist, which had been caused by her force.

Luca moved his lips and wanted to say something, but Anna huffed, turned around and walked away.

Seeing that she went to Matteo's room again, but no one was there, Luca was angry and distressed. He stepped forward to stop her.

-Don't go near him. He is not in the room.

-Get out of the way.

-What's the problem? Do I have to lie to you? Not to mention the fact that he's not home, no one will answer you, and even if he was, he wouldn't have come out to see you. Don't consider yourself his favorite anymore, okay?

Anna paused, looking at Luca incredulously, -Luca, who do you think you are? Are you qualified to control me because you had two drinks with me? I'm telling you...ah...

She did not have time to talk about the rest, however, because Luca suddenly stepped forward and pushed her against the cold wall. Her eyes darkened and she felt a warm touch on her lips.
