Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1098: They get to know each other.

40 minutes later, the people who had caused trouble at the club today were taken to the police station, a group of screaming drunks who wanted to keep drinking and some who had done something to Anna were separated for questioning.

Anna had already cooperated with them in taking statements, and now she was huddled alone on a bench with a sore face. When a kind policewoman brought her a towel wrapped in ice and put it on her face, Anna thanked her and quietly curled up with the ice.

Even though they had been rescued, her mood was still swinging. What had just happened was so horrible.

If Marcello had not arrived, she would be.... today.

At the thought, Anna closed her eyes, not daring to think about it.

However, the phone rang at that moment and Anna was surprised, she pulled it out and looked at the caller ID, it was from the noodle store.

They must have been worried when she had not returned after being away for so long.

Anna took a deep breath and answered the phone.

-Hello?

-Anna, are you okay? Why didn't you come back after being gone so long? Did something happen?

Amelia stood by the phone and asked several anxious questions, Giancarlo, standing next to her, listened and urged her, -Ask your daughter where she is now. -Yes, yes, Anna, where are you now?

Anna looked around and lied to her parents.

-Mom, I'm fine, I'll be right back, you and Dad are at the noodle shop, right? Don't worry.

She hadn't cried, so her voice was normal when she spoke, and she didn't sound any different except for the slightest hint of evasion in her tone.

-Is she really all right?

Even though she knew the other side couldn't see, Anna still gave a smile, though that smile seemed worse than crying.

-It's okay mom, don't worry, I just passed by a jewelry store and found some nice things, so I'm going to buy more, don't blame me for being lazy, I'm going to hang up now.

Having said that, Anna hurried to hang up the phone, fearing that if she said too much she would be caught.

Shortly after she hung up the phone, the sound of slightly hurried footsteps rushed toward her, and Anna thought nothing of it, continuing to lightly clutch her face with ice and looking down at her toes. The next moment, however, a pair of shoes suddenly appeared before her, and she was stunned when she raised her head.

The hormonal smell of the man immediately enveloped her, and Anna looked blankly at the man who held her by the shoulders and looked at her seriously.

-Are you all right?

Anna's pale lips trembled as she stared in disbelief at the man who had appeared before her.

Handsome in features, his eyes were normally calm and steady, now they were more than anxious, and his breathing was obviously very unsteady as he spoke to her, exhaling hot breaths that spit in her face.

It was Matthew.

Anna spoke the visitor's name in her mind, and was slow to respond.

-What are you doing here?

Was she dreaming or hallucinating that Matteo, whom she had not seen in months, had appeared before her eyes?

Matteo frowned and, when he saw that she did not answer his question, wrinkled his lips in displeasure and, without further ado, pulled her wrist and walked out the door.

Anna stared in disbelief at the doll she had grabbed and was pulled forward by Matteo like a puppet on a string.

On her way out, she met Marcello, who was walking toward him.

The corners of his lips curled involuntarily upward when he saw his best friend grasp a young girl's wrist in his palm and pull her outward.

It seemed that all the words said before were just to fool his best friend ....

Only ten minutes after telling Matteo what had just happened, the man had arrived. And Marcello tried to greet him as he passed, but the man had an ugly face and had no intention of talking to him. Marcello did not get angry, and when Matteo ignored him, he walked past to greet Anna.

-The statement has been made, the police said you can go, and I have something to do, so let the man take you back.

Anna wanted to say something, but found herself speechless.

Suddenly she remembered something with a flash of light and stopped, not wanting to go any further.

Noticing her reluctance, Matthew had to stop and turn around to frown.

-You should go to the hospital now.

Anna shook her head and withdrew her hand.

-I'm not going to the hospital, I'm fine.

I didn't suffer any serious physical damage, it was the slap that knocked me out, probably because I was unlucky, apart from some swelling on my face, I'm fine now. Matthew was speechless.

He stifled his labored breathing and patiently explained to Anna,

-He will check, the doctor will decide if there is anything wrong.

With that, he took another step forward to take Anna's hand.

However, Anna reflexively took a few steps back, avoiding Matteo's touch.

Marcello, on the other side of the room, saw the scene and raised an eyebrow. He had intended to leave, but there seemed to be a good show going on at the moment, so he would have to finish it before he left.

Anna's mood was already up and down because of the suddenness of the incident, and she was even more surprised to see Matteo here, but even she was dumb enough to understand.

The reason Matteo would be here was Marcello, whom she knew.

-You and Mr. Marcello know each other? -She looked up and her gaze fell on Matteo's face.

Matteo, for the first time since she had said she would no longer bother him, met her eyes.

Without saying anything, as if to remain silent, Anna refused to give up and again insistently asked.

-Tell me something, you know each other, don't you?

He looked at Marcello, who then coughed slightly to hide his embarrassment, before looking away from Anna.

-Yes.

Finally, Matteo came out and admitted it.

Anna froze in place and asked,

-Why? Is it because I am your sister's best friend? Or is it because you think you have rejected me before and it was pathetic to see me like this, so are you going to give me a handout? At this point in the conversation, it was clear that Anna was clearly asking about her store.

Marcello just wanted to see a good show, but now he suddenly felt quite embarrassed, he did not expect this girl to think about this store thing, he should have gone first.

At Anna's question, Matteo frowned with his hand and then took two steps closer to her, softening his voice a little,

-Don't go back to being a delivery girl, you're a girl and it's dangerous to deliver orders.

Don't answer the question directly?

-Who are you telling, how can I make a living if I don't deliver? Not everyone is like you and has such a good family," Anna said mockingly.
