Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1093: It's in the dream, not in reality.

That night, Anna dreamed.

She dreamed she was with Matthew, who was kind, wiped her tears, soothed her gently and kissed her.

Although it was a dream, Anna felt that it was all unreal, like a dream too not a dream, and at night she tried hard to dream longer, hoping that the dream would last forever. But the harder she tried, the faster she woke up.

After a while, Anna's consciousness cleared and she opened her eyes to find that there was light outside the window and the pillows were wet.

Anna was a little confused, had she been crying all night?

She had dreamed last night that she was with Matthew, very happy, but it did not seem real, and she had tried to confirm it but had not dared, so she woke up.

Undoubtedly it had only been in her dreams that her heart's long-desired wish had come true.

And real life, as always, continued.

With this thought, Anna got up to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up and changed the wet pillowcase, then went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, changed her clothes and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

After breakfast, Anna immediately went downstairs and was greeted by the first rays of sunshine she encountered all day, which warmed her face and body. Anna stood still for a moment to feel them carefully. It didn't matter, if she was loveless she had other things, the years were still good and she was getting on with her life.

Four months later

Giancarlo also left his job, and he and Amelia came to help out from time to time, but most of the time they stayed at home watering flowers and making tea, and occasionally went out for walks and dances in the square.

People around her were envious of her, saying that Amelia was great, that she had a daughter who could run a business, that she was enjoying her life ahead of schedule, and that it was a pity Anna hadn't married yet, so they would have to speed up their plans or something.

Serena's belly was already very large. From the beginning, when she had little appetite, to the end, when her appetite had increased, Serena's whole body was much rounder, and the saddest thing was that she also had a lot of edema, and the baby was very fussy in her belly, kicking a lot.

Seeing his wife in that state, Cristian did not even want to take care of the business, he left his job to Luca and went home to spend time with his wife.

Sometimes, when he saw Serena like that, Cristian would slyly approach her.

-If I didn't know she was a female, from the way she treated you, I would have wanted to beat her at birth," he said.

At his words, Serena glowered at him.

-It doesn't make sense, even if it's not a girl, it's still your child, how can you do this?

Cristian looked at her deeply and took her in his arms, kissing her forehead with compassion.

-Don't have any more children when you are done with this one.

Serena froze. She thought Cristian would ask for more children of his own, but no....

-Two is enough, I don't want you to go through this again.

Actually, Serena was not reluctant to have children, but she also thought that two would be enough and nodded in agreement. -OK, that's enough.

The noodle store was doing very well.

But today there was a special guest.

This customer was none other than Marcello, who had previously rented the store to Anna.

When he arrived, Anna was a little surprised, but then smiled and opened the door for him before taking him to the special place on the second floor.

There was only one special table on the second floor, which the couple prepared especially just for their favorite friends.

-Don't worry, this room, which I know must be special for you, has not been used by guests since I opened the store and is cleaned every day.

When Marcello entered, he found that the room had indeed been cleaned and that the air was faintly scented with flowers, the aroma of which was fresh and nourishing.

It was then that Marcello noticed that several fresh plants and flowers had been placed in the window.

-Very beautiful.

Marcello looked deeply at Anna, someone who had a unique eye. This Anna was very thoughtful and subtle.

-And what do you do if a guest wants to enter this room of yours? Would you rather offend the guest?

-I don't think so, there are many guests who come here every day, few are brutal and unreasonable, and I always said it's for our own use.

He understood what he meant and did not want to use this room, even if it offended the guests.

-Looks like I hired the right person this time.

-You are here for spaghetti today, aren't you, that flavor from last time? -Anna smiled and interrupted the conversation.

-You are really smart.

-Sit down for a while, then.

Anna turned around, went downstairs and prepared the spaghetti herself.

Marcello looked around and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

-You see? Your wish has been granted, and the room you kept is well guarded by her," he said in a whisper, as if speaking to himself.

In the kitchen, Amelia approached Anna and asked in a low voice, "Lord Marcellus is here, huh? I hear he's here for an inspection?

-Mom, he's just here for spaghetti, don't think too much about it,II she was quick with her hands and feet and soon had a bowl of spaghetti ready, which she brought up herself. Several employees talked about it under their breath.

-Why has our boss suddenly become so attentive? Is that guy upstairs his boyfriend?

-That's right, and when I went up to deliver the food just now, I noticed that she had invited him to the special room, will we have another boss soon?

-I think it's fine, that man is very handsome, hey, lucky her.

Amelia's forehead wrinkled at these words, because she knew from an intermediary that Marcello was extremely affectionate with his wife.

Even though his wife had died, how could Marcello have an affair with his daughter, apparently, this man had no intention of remarrying.

-What are you guessing? -Amelia approached and put her hands in front of her, -If you don't take your job seriously, you keep gossiping about these things, a man and a woman having an affair? Mr. Marcello came here today to eat spaghetti and to remember his wife, what kind of unhealthy thinking is that?

Amelia said directly and clearly that she thought it would be disrespectful to the late Marcello's wife and to him, and that it would ruin his daughter's reputation.
