Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1176: Call me brother from now on.

And that time he threw a tantrum.

Now that she thought about it, it was really embarrassing and humiliating. After all, for her, Marcello was Matteo's friend, but she did not know him well.

Now he was teasing her so much that Anna did not know how to respond.

Marcello, however, put down his cup of tea and smiled languidly at her.

-What's the matter? Two people together is a good thing, why this look?

Looking at the man with a smirk, Anna finally realized that Marcello had probably come on purpose after hearing about the incident.

Although Anna wondered what their relationship was and why he was so concerned about Matteo's love life, she was too embarrassed to ask directly. But Marcello, who was probably a man with a very delicate mind, quickly guessed what was going through Anna's mind and asked in a soft voice. -You wonder why I am here?

Anna did not answer, but the expression on her face was quite clear.

-It's really just for fun, remember when I said earlier that I wanted to introduce you to someone?

Anna froze at those words, but then quickly replied, -Could it be that the person you were talking about earlier was Matteo?

Marcello smiled and nodded.

Anna was a little stunned, not knowing what to say.

-This best friend of mine has been single for years and no woman has ever caught his attention, and this was the first time he asked me about you. I was surprised to hear for the first time from his mouth the name of another person of the opposite sex besides his sister, so my curiosity got the better of me. Actually, the fact that she rarely opens up to someone else about you says one thing.

Anna didn't quite understand the reason for Marcello's visit today, was it to put in a good word for Matteo? But now in Anna's mind, Matteo was already invincibly good.

-Although it's a bit redundant for me to say it now, I have to make an appearance for my best friend, don't I?

Marcello smiled faintly, as if he were joking.

Anna couldn't help but smile, too.

-In any case, I have to thank you, Marcello.

-Oh? -Marcello raised an eyebrow at her words, "Thank you? Thank you for what? You didn't say yes when I tried to introduce you.

-It's not that," Anna said, "I mean about calling him to the police station in the first place, if it hadn't been for that incident, I probably--I wouldn't have had those meetings with him there. Would you?

She didn't know why, but the word,,she" made Marcello, who was older than the young woman in front of him, uncomfortable, but at least he and Matteo were the same year, and she was in love with Matteo and talked to him with the word tú, like he was an older man.

-To say that he is polite, this is a destiny that belongs between you and him, I am at best the icing on the cake, even without this possibility, you are destined to meet in the future.

This was what his wife said most often when she was alive, because he and his wife had an extraordinarily wonderful meeting, and he regretted after their marriage that he had not met her if he had not gone to that party that day. Every time his wife would pinch his face and ask him what nonsense he was talking, it was a destiny that belonged to them, and even if they did not meet today, or tomorrow, they would meet the next day.

"When you meet one, there is no hiding."

So when Matteo approached Marcello and opened his mouth about Anna, Marcello confirmed one thing.

Matteo could not hide.

It was not that the girl needed him, it was that he needed her.

But once again, Marcello coughed slightly and said with a straight face,

-If you have to thank me, it's not a bad idea, but from now on speak to me with a normal title. After all, I am the same age as Matteo.

Anna froze for a moment before realizing what Marcello meant. It turned out that he thought she was calling him old, but yes, she was having an affair with Matteo and ended up calling Marcello with the word ,,she," as if he had inexplicably increased his seniority.

After thinking it over, Anna scratched her head awkwardly,

-All right, Marcello.

-If you don't mind, call me brother from now on, I can always afford to be brother, can't I?

Anna nodded hastily, -Right! Of course. You rented me the store for much less and helped me, it's not wrong to call you brother.

Anna did not avoid calling the man "brother," which made Marcello feel good, feeling that he was finally moving on with Matthew. -Brother, let me cook you a dish, sit down and wait.

-Okay.

As soon as the girl left, Marcello pulled out his cell phone and immediately called someone.

Matteo had just pulled the girl's used shirt out of the washing machine and was about to hang it up when he received a call from Marcello, and seeing the man's call, he lingered a bit before answering. -Is something wrong?

-Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?

At his words, Matthew frowned slightly, clutching the garment in his hand.

-If you have something to say, say it.

-Who was it that came to me earlier with nothing to do and asked me to help chase the girl? Now that you are together, won't you say anything?

-The favors you owed me have not been returned, and the police station?

-It's not enough to be friends for so many years and not tell me when you're together.

-Marcello, what exactly are you trying to say? -Matteo asked with a helpless sigh.

-Can't you even be happy for yourself? It is very difficult to see you with someone, so I am happy for you.

Matteo sensed that something was wrong in the tone of his voice, looked at the time and then asked, -Where are you right now?

Marcello curved his lips and smiled slightly, "Guess what? It's not easy to come and get a plate, I've been waiting for almost half an hour.

There was a half-silence.

-Wait a quarter of an hour I'm coming.

After hanging up the phone, Matthew hung up his shirt to dry, always feeling a strange stirring in his heart as he looked at the shirt the girl had put on.

He had wondered if it would be annoying to have more than one woman around, but what was happening now made him feel good, and even a little nostalgic for this life. Quickly, he grabbed his car keys and headed out.

Fifteen minutes later he arrived in front of the noodle store.

Anna was upstairs having dinner with Marcello when Matteo entered, so there was no one downstairs, so Matteo met Amelia at the entrance.

Seeing Matteo, Amelia froze for a moment and saw that the man had greeted her.

-Hello, Amelia.

-Are you here to see Anna?

Matteo nodded slightly.

-She is upstairs, keeping Marcello company.
