“I was abrupt, forgive me, if you are busy you can go, later I will personally hand it over to him.”
“All right.”
Lucia left.
Serena put the laptop back on the bedside table, went to eat but the doorbell rang.
So she went to look through the door peephole, at that moment her cell phone rang, it was a message from Anna.
“Open the door, I’m outside.”
“Damn, I even heard your cell phone ringing, open up.”
Serena was speechless.
She went to look through the peephole and saw Anna right outside, she did not expect her….
Serena opened the door, Anna after seeing her rushed into the room unfazed, “What were you doing? I could also hear the sound of your cell phone, you made me wait outside for a while, you don’t trust me huh?”
Serena looked at her, “What’s the matter? I’m just a little slow in moving.”
Anna closed the door after entering, then let out a sigh of wonderment, “Wow, you really know how to pick your spot, the view of this room is fantastic.” .
Then she saw the food on the table and opened her eyes wide, “Wow, what a great life, so many good things to eat.”
She already had a good relationship with Serena, so she sat down directly, “I was still worrying if you would starve to death being alone in the hotel, and I was thinking of taking you out for breakfast, but I didn’t expect that-I had worried for nothing.”
Serena sat down across from her, “Since you’re here let’s eat together, I can’t finish all this stuff by myself.”
“Then I don’t mind.” Anna took a pancake and bit into it, then asked smiling, “I see you’ve recovered already? You were still very depressed yesterday.”
Serena was silent for a few seconds, then said, “Otherwise what could I do, continue to get depressed? I should have known from the beginning how this story will end, instead I made the big mistake of giving myself hope in vain.”
She lowered her eyes, took the spoon and took a sip of broth.
Anna looked at her and sighed.
“Don’t say that, there are many things that we can’t keep under control, especially feelings, besides you were married — you were husband and wife, it’s normal that I could have feelings for him, although now you have separated, but I think it’s better this way, in your relationship there is a lack of trust, maybe separation is the right thing.”
Saying that, Anna glanced at Serena, hesitated for a moment then said, “Maybe in a few years you can get back together?”
In a few years…
Serena gave a bitter smile, “There won’t be a chance anymore, Cristian doesn’t like me, there are many women who would like to be his wife, women who are much better off than me. Probably not in a few years, but already in a few days he will have another woman, our whole story was just a fantasy of mine, we will never get back together.”
Anna said no more, she ate the pancake but in her mouth she seemed to feel only bitterness.
They finished the whole breakfast in silence.
After breakfast, Anna with satisfaction put her hand on her belly and leaned back, “Who made you breakfast? It was so plentiful. When I came I saw a lady coming down, it looked like she had come out of your room, was it her?”
“Yes.” Serena nodded and said nothing else.
Anna was initially worried about Serena, that’s why she went to see her so early, but now she seemed to have come to her senses, so she said, “I thought you would be sad for a long time yet, instead now I see you have a good ability to recover, after all that has happened to you you can eat so many things.”
Serena was speechless.
“It’s really great to see you like this, then-do you have plans for the future?”
“The future?” Serena smiled, “I haven’t thought about that at the moment.”
“Are you planning to give birth to the baby?” Although Anna knew that was a bit of a sensitive question but felt it was necessary to ask her.
“Of course.” Serena nodded, “From the moment I decided to keep this baby, I never thought of abandoning it again.”
Hearing Anna was a little moved, “In the future the child will surely love you, you have done so much for him. By the way, Mr. Leonardo was worried about you, will you–”
“Anna, I don’t want to give him any hope.” Serena looked at Anna and said seriously, “I am not in love with him, besides he is from the Ferrari family, it will be even more impossible.
From now on… it will be better to live alone.
“All right, then I won’t talk about him anymore.”
After that, Anna helped Serena clean the table and stayed there to keep her company. At lunchtime Lucia came again to bring lunch, she was a little surprised when she saw Anna but quickly recovered.
“Miss Serena, Mr. Matteo could come later, Do you have time?”
Did Matteo want to come?
“What is he coming for?” Serena asked without thinking too much.
Lucia did not expect him to ask that question or react that way. Serena did not seem very happy that Matteo was going to her place for lunch.
But Matteo had said on the phone that all he had to do was report to her.
“I don’t know, I just report to you what Mr. Matteo told me, lunch is here, I’m going now.”
Lucia quickly left, as if she did not want to answer his questions.
Serena stood there looking blank, Anna felt something unusual, approached and asked, “Mr. Matteo? Who is he? Does he want to come? What’s going on??”
Serena remained silent.
She did not know how to explain that story to Anna.
That familiar affection had come too abruptly.
“I…”
“Mr. Matteo? That name sounds familiar, isn’t he the brother of that Alice? Wow Serena, isn’t it… she stole your husband and you want to steal her brother?”
Serena frowned, “What nonsense are you talking?”
“Did I guess wrong? Then what is he coming to do? He is Alice’s brother, Serena don’t be fooled!” At that point Anna became agitated, grabbed Serena’s arm, “If you have to be with him, I’d rather you were with Mr. Leonardo, at least… Mr. Leonardo is Mr. Cristian’s big brother, if that infamous Alice is really going to get with Mr. Cristian, she will have to call you sister-in-law.”
Serena: “Stop talking nonsense, things are not as you think.”
