Silence hovered in the room for a long time, and Serena did not hear Matteo speak again.
“Matteo?”
Didn’t he say he had a question for her? The woman had actually realized this long ago, from the last time he had invited her to go to a restaurant near the hospital, his countless hesitation-filled glances had revealed to her that the man indeed had questions for her.
That time at the restaurant Matteo had no time, this time he was still so hesitant, in the end what could be the question he couldn’t ask her?
“The reason you can’t talk, is it because what you want to ask me is a secret?”
Matthew nodded weakly and uttered a yes.
Serena was surprised, was it really a secret then, maybe it must have had something to do with the body or something…?
After making this thought, the woman whose face was usually white turned red and began to feel embarrassment.
“Actually even if I did not ask you this question, I would still be convinced that you are my sister, but if you are concerned…”
Seeing her face turn red, Matthew thought it wouldn’t hurt to tease her, so lightly bringing the corners of his mouth together, in a feeble voice he said, “If you really want to know, I can tell you to eliminate your curiosity, but do you really want me to tell you?
Serena did not utter a word.
“All right, then I’ll tell you now.”
“Wait a minute! The woman suddenly intervened to interrupt his words, tightened her lips with embarrassment, “If you have decided so, that’s fine, I don’t want to know.”
Having heard him speak for a long time without confessing anything, Serena thought that even if she persisted in wanting to know, he probably wouldn’t have told her anyway; besides, if that question was really a secret, once uttered they would both be greatly embarrassed.
Better to let it go.
What was wrong with having a family like the Giordano family in the North City supporting her? Add to that the fact that she looked so much like the woman in the photo in deportment and image, it was probably hard for them to be wrong.
“So Matteo, when are you going to talk to Alice about this matter?”
At the mention of Alice, Matteo’s gaze turned a little cold: “Let’s wait until she gets out of the hospital, I’ll solve this problem, you….”
From the depths of Serena’s heart suddenly sprang an evil thought.
She had just pushed Cristian away and on closer inspection would lose her precious position. In previous days she was still laughing at herself that her status would become lower and that she was also carrying a child born out of wedlock. She was also saying that only she and Cristian came from the same world, but if she fell from this world today, would it have been a punishment or not?
Now her actions did not make her worthy of pity.
The past friendship had really crumbled overnight, leaving no trace.
“I know, I’ll leave this situation to you to sort out.”
“Do you want to meet her?” Matthew had heard about his conflicts with Alice, although he did not know why the situation between the two of them had reached that point, however, he thought the matter was quite serious.
“I don’t want to” Serena flatly refused, “She and I have nothing more to say to each other.”
These words brought the frost down, Serena suddenly thought of something and looked at Matteo who was standing in front of her, “You don’t think that after I took flight, I became arrogant?”
Matteo said to her, “Silly.”
Serena was confused.
What had he called her?
“She has deceived you for so many years, that you don’t want to see her is normal. Besides that, you will soon be the young lady of the Giordano family, even if you were arrogant, you would have the chances to be. Worry about doing what you have to that then your older brother….”
He paused and only then said calmly, “From now on the whole Giordano family will have your back.”
These words were very sincere and to say that they had not moved her would be to lie. Serena’s nose was a little sore from crying, and just then the doorbell rang because Anna had returned.
Being afraid that someone else would see her in that state, Serena immediately got up and said, “I’m going to the bathroom for a moment.”
So she arose and with quick step headed to the bathroom and just then Anna entered, smiled slightly blinking and put the sandwich and coffee in front of Matteo. “Matteo I bought you the coffee and sandwich, please accept.”
The man taking the wallet said, “How much do I owe you?”
“No need to pay me back! I haven’t spent much!” Anna took a big step back in fear.
Matthew with a cold expression said that he wanted to return her money, but the woman firmly refused.
“What I ate should have been her breakfast, so this one I want to offer her as an apology. If she returned the money, it would break my heart and in the future I would not dare to come to Serena’s for breakfast.”
Only after hearing the final part of the sentence did Matthew abandon the idea of returning her money.
The man in principle did not want to form friendships with others, he did not want to be indebted to anyone, nor did he want other people to be indebted to him, so he would like to return the money to Anna.
“All right, since that is the case, I will inconvenience you from now on.”
“No trouble, no trouble.”
As he waited for the man to slowly finish eating the sandwich, Serena had not yet come out of the bathroom; Matteo wiped the corners of his mouth and said, “I have a meeting, please tell her from me that I’m leaving.”
“All right, all right!”
Anna walked him to the door and only after making sure he had left did she close it.
When she came back the woman looked for her friend everywhere : ” Serena, where have you gone? Matteo is gone, you can come out.”
Yes she heard a door slam.
It was the bathroom door being loosened, Serena opened it and stepped out.
“Wow, you really hid here, what’s going on with you? Matthew ate the sandwich for a long time and you were hiding in the bathroom all the time?”
” I was only there for a few minutes, what’s wrong with me going to the bathroom? Serena had washed her face with cold water, but it was evident that her eyes were still slightly red.”
Anna licked her lips slightly and affirmed, “You’re not by any chance still sad?”
“No.” Serena turned and walked directly into the room, Anna saw her and followed her, “I’ll tell you, the way Matthew ate was too good to behold, nobles are nobles, they are different from us ordinary people. However, I tell you the truth, your bearing is very similar to his, especially your calm expression….”
Hearing those words, Serena interrupted her steps, turned back and said, ” Do I look like him?”
Anna nodded, “I was just saying that, however, observing carefully, you seem to resemble each other more and more, those eyebrows, those lips… And also that expression.”
Serena: “That’s enough, don’t you think you’re exaggerating?”
Anna smilingly reached out to take her arm, “I’m telling the truth.”
“You can’t help it, please let me go, I have to change.”
The woman did as she was told and let her go, “Are you going to stay permanently in this hotel from now on? Why don’t you move in with me?”
“No, it is quiet and very comfortable here, and besides, I have already paid.”
“Was it Matteo who paid for you?”
Serena froze for a moment.
“All the things in this apartment, including breakfast in the morning and that maidservant, was it called by him?”
Serena turned and her gaze fell on Anna’s face.
“Have you misunderstood again?”
