Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1163: For what purpose?

Matteo immediately went to wash his hands while everyone sat down.

The people sitting at the table were acquaintances.

The atmosphere of this lunch should be relaxed, but because of Anna and Matteo's relationship, everyone felt uncomfortable. Anna avoided Matteo since he entered, drinking only rice without talking to the man.

Matteo said nothing and remained calm as if nothing had happened.

Serena thought that the problem between Anna and her brother should be solved, even if she took extreme measures, right?

However, it was not convenient for her to say what she thought in front of Manuel, Serena cast a glance at her son to secretly mention it.

As her son, Manuel had never disappointed her.

-Mom, Uncle, Anna, I'm full,II she immediately understood what her mother meant. She put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, -I'm going to the room.

-Are you full? -Serena asked him, pretending not to know anything, -How little food have you eaten, why don't you eat more?

-I can't eat anymore, Mom. -Manuel shook his head.

Matthew half-closed his lips, looking at Manuel with a complicated look. Manuel found out, smiled at Matteo and left.

After her son left, Serena smiled and raised her head to talk to Matteo, but unexpectedly discovered that Matteo was looking at her. Although nothing was expressed, it seemed that Matteo had no more remedies with his sister.

"You guessed what I'm about to do, how well does Matteo know me?" Serena thought.

-Matteo, is that...?

-I'm going to take a look at Manuel, since he hasn't eaten much. -As soon as he spoke, Anna, who was sitting next to her, stood up excitedly as if she were afraid.

After saying this, ignoring Serena's and Matteo's reactions, she quickly left them.

Serena was stunned.

What had happened? She had not yet had time to talk to Anna, and she was gone.

How long could she try to avoid everything?

Serena felt a little unhappy. She deliberately asked Manuel to leave, only to talk about things the children could not hear. In the end, Anna slipped away.

Serena's efforts were indeed in vain.

Serena sighed heavily, then looked at Matteo.

-Are you horrible? Anna is afraid of you again.

Matteo took a sip of soup calmly, with an ever-present expression, and looked at his sister when he heard the words.

-Didn't you scare her?

Serena huffed, -Why am I the one who scared her, would she be so shy if you weren't here?

Hearing this, Matteo did not respond, but frowned slightly.

Until now, the girl was still afraid of him.

After that night, the relationship between the two had always been lukewarm, without any development.

He did not treat her as coldly as before, but... it was not much better than before. Anna was like a bird frightened by a bow. And he was the hunter who held the bow.

Even though he didn't have an arrow in his hand.

-Maybe because I look scary?

-Thinking of this, Matteo closed his lips and said slightly.

Serena was speechless.

What a stupid thing to say!

-Matteo, what are you thinking about?

Matteo looked at her.

-You said earlier that you weren't thinking about falling in love and that you just wanted to take care of me, right? I believed you, and now what? After kissing and provoking that girl, you can still sit here quietly, which is too irresponsible, right?

Although it seemed that the comments Serena had just said were meant to scold Matthew, her tone was not at all negative, and she also showed him a complicated expression.

Was his sister making fun of him?

-Did she tell you that?

-Yes, is there a problem?

Why can't she tell me if she has the courage? -Serena was stunned and then realized what Matteo was referring to, so she nodded without holding anything back.

Matteo said nothing more.

But Serena had no intention of ending the conversation.

-Matteo, I think I know you too well.

You should have fallen in love with her a long time ago, but due to certain factors, you have repressed your feelings and think you will not fall in love with anyone in your life, right? Seriously, there are only the two of us left in the Giordano family. Since I am your only family, I don't want you to be single for some reason when you are old. And the most important thing is that in many cases if you lose it, it won't give you a chance to get it again.

Matthew was silent.

-I know.

I already knew it since Anna started to have an indifferent attitude toward him.

But at that time his feelings for her were not so strong, until suddenly she hated him, and was not moved when he stood all day in front of the store door, and even when he had a blind date with others.

-I thought you didn't know. After you kissed her, you didn't do anything. To tell the truth, even though you are my brother, I don't want you to hurt Anna. If you don't like her, you will never see her again. Matthew was surprised, narrowed his eyes and stared at her.

-She doesn't need someone who is always irresolute and hesitant about her feelings. What she needs is someone who is serious and responsible. If you continue like this, I think Luca will be a better half than you.

Although she felt sorry for Luca, Serena did not lie to him. She had always thought that Luca and Anna were better suited, but love was a private thing and no one had the right to decide for others who to fall in love with.

Anna liked Matteo, and Serena no longer had to intervene.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Matteo looked away first, lowered his head and slowly took a sip of soup. Then he put the bowl on the table and said nothing.

-Don't worry Serena. As for what you told me, I know what to do. You can look forward and give birth with peace of mind.

Listening to him, Serena was a little angry. She was so furious that she wanted to hit him with the plate.

-What are you thinking? -She said, -Is there anything you can't tell me? What does what you just said mean? Do you know what to do?

-I want to ask her to marry me first.

-Matteo thought about it and finally told her.

Serena was shocked.

How? Unbelievable.

She understood what Matteo meant after a few seconds of confusion. It turned out that... He was going to propose to her? His concern is superfluous, isn't it? Serena looked at him with a complicated look on her face. She thought that she would not be the person Matteo loved most, but... she was happy for Anna.

After all, soon Anna would get what she wanted.

The person who liked her also loved her, which was another blessed thing.

Anna followed Manuel into the room to dodge whatever was going on outside, but the happy moments would soon pass. After lunch, Serena called her and told her that her brother wanted to talk to her. -You're not going to tell him what I told you, are you?

-Anna had goose bumps at the same time.

-No, since you're not here, what was the point? -Maybe Matthew wants to talk to you about something else.

Anyway, don't be afraid, tell him your love boldly.

Anna looked at her helplessly. She greatly regretted telling Serena the truth. Finally, she withdrew and went out to find Matteo.
