Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1134: I don't accept scroungers

Soon Luke left, and Amelia said to Anna, "I think Luke is a nice, hard-working, capable, kind young man, and he must have a sense of responsibility. Anna looked at Amelia with some impatience, and Amelia quickly said, "It doesn't matter, he's gone anyway.

Anna pretended not to hear Amelia's words, as elders always do.

For a few days Anna was a little down, when Manuel came to the restaurant, Anna could hardly smile, so she talked to him for a while.

-Aunt Anna, if you are not busy, can you go out with me? -Manuel took Anna's hand and cuddled it.

Anna paused and looked at Manuel: -Where do you want to go?

-To the playground.

Manuel never went to the playground; he didn't like what the other children liked. But Anna would ask Manuel to go with her when she was abroad.

She was always so excited about the roller coaster and the pirate ship that Manuel would look down on her and say, "Don't be so childish, Aunt Anna, you're an adult, I don't understand why you like children's rides.

Anna grabbed his aore ear, "What? I came to play to relax.... You see, I'm not the only adult here.

Manuel gave Anna's hand a painful slap: "But you are here for the children.

-And so am I!

-But I didn't want to come. If you grab my ear again, I won't be with you anymore!

Anna released her grip, smiled and blew on Manuel's ear: -Sorry, honey, does your ear hurt? Will you come with me next time?

-Next time!

Manuel gave her sleeve a tug and Anna came back to reality.

-Aunt Anna, shall we go?

-Anna nodded.

She knew that Manuel had suggested the playground to make her happy.

After saying goodbye to Amelia, she and Manuel went to the nearby playground and stayed there until evening.

When they arrived home, Anna fell asleep on the sofa and Manuel went to the bathroom to get some hot water to wash Anna's face, when Amelia came out and saw Manuel.

-Well, let me do it.

After Manuel had washed Anna's face, he went to bed. Anna rolled over and almost fell off the couch.

Amelia immediately tried to help her.

But Anna rolled again and fell on the cold floor.

Then she woke up in pain and sat up, covering her knees, not knowing what had happened.

-Go to sleep in your room, you are too big for me to carry you, child.

Anna looked at Amelia and blinked, remembering what had happened during the day, then nodded silently and went back to her room, where Amelia became even more worried. Amelia had seen with her own eyes how sad Anna had been that night, but lately she had been very quiet, as if she was holding back all her emotions.

This was not going to work.

The next day

Anna had to work even though she was tired. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw Amelia talking to Cristina.

She asked herself, "What is Agnes doing here?"

Agnes saw her and immediately stepped forward. Amelia did not even stop her, so she had to follow with some annoyance. -You already have your own restaurant at your young age and you are doing well, aren't you?

Agnes said nothing more, so Anna smiled at her.

-Thank you, would you like to try the spaghetti?

-That would be great, thank you.

-Well, you can sit down.

-Okay.

Anna had just entered the kitchen when Amelia followed her.

-What are you doing? Do you know why you're here?

-Why? She walks every day because she is bored.

Amelia quickly realized that Anna did not know the truth and explained, -I want to introduce you to a man. Anna was surprised.

-What?

-You think I'm here just for the spaghetti? Is spaghetti that good?

-Of course, you know.

Amelia was speechless. Anna's spaghetti was very good, so the restaurant was doing well.

-Well, you're right, what if she came every day?

Anna looked at Amelia, -That's good.

-What if she doesn't pay?

-I don't accept freeloaders, so if he doesn't pay, no food.

With that, Anna left with the noodles.
