To Matteo it was nothing, but Serena felt a little embarrassed.
He pulled out the room card, opened the door, and then pushed.
“Come on in.”
Matteo followed Serena inside.
“Mario told me everything.”
Serena set her bag down on the table and nodded, “Well, since you’ve been investigating me, you must know my past.”
Matteo did not speak, but the expression on his face showed that he knew all about that subject.
These things were better for him to know.
So Serena did not have to repeat them to him again when she asked him for help. Now that Matthew knew how things were, it would be much easier to handle.
“Well, can I ask you to do me a favor?”
Hearing this, Matteo lifted his lips, smiled and nodded, “Sure, but…”
But? Serena was stunned.
“If you are not my relative, I cannot help you. Before I help you, you have to tell me, do you agree to become an adopted daughter of the Giordano family?”
Serena: “…”
She did not think he meant this.
Serena was speechless for a moment.
“Mr. Giordano, I…”
“Still calling me Mr. Giordano?” Matteo looked at her softly, smiling.
Ever since she met Matteo, Serena always felt that although Matteo was calm, he still had a strong presence. His face was almost always expressionless. He was the kind of person who put justice before even kinship ties.
She did not expect that he would ever show her such a kind smile.
Was this… The power of familial affection?
Serena looked at Matteo for a while not knowing how to react. She did not understand what was wrong with herself. She felt flooded with familiar affection, and unexpectedly said, “Brother…”
However, after saying that word, Serena’s lips stiffened, she quickly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and made no more sound.
However, that word was enough for Matteo.
He extended his hand again and Serena wanted to retract, but for some reason she stood still and let Matteo touch her head.
Matteo touched her head and showed a dazzling smile.
“That’s pretty much it, remember, you have the whole Giordano family to support you, as long as you need me, I will be here anytime, from now on you are my sister, okay?”
Why did her tone of voice sound like she was talking to a child? Serena blinked and nodded blandly.
“What do you want to do about that thing?” Matteo asked about her relationship with Cristian.
“I want to divorce him, but … I don’t want to see him now.”
“All right, I’ll send someone to deal with it.” Matteo nodded, he would never refuse his younger sister’s request.
Was everything that simple? Serena thought he would be embarrassed, she did not imagine he would respond so quickly.
Serena thought and said, “Can I… Leave this town?”
“Because of him, you don’t want to stay here anymore?”
Although a little embarrassed, Serena admitted, “I don’t want to see him again, let alone stay in this town where he lives, I…”
“No problem. The Giordano family also owns industries abroad. We can send you abroad. It depends on whether you are willing or not.”
Going abroad? Serena had never thought about it, she just wanted to leave the city, but she did not think Matteo would propose to go abroad.
“When you are abroad you can continue your studies, that way you will have better opportunities. Serena. You are a good person and you are not attached to any man. In the future you can meet better people.”
“As for Cristian, I will take care of it for you, if you want…”
“I do!” Serena nodded, bit her lower lip and stared at Matteo, “I want to leave today!”
Now it was Matteo who was stunned. He looked at her helplessly and finally agreed.
“Alright, I’ll ask Chiara to get things ready for you, first go arrange your things if you have any to take away with you, now I have to go back to the company.”
After Matteo left, Serena went home to pack her things.
Then, when she did to arrange her things, she found that she had nothing to take away with her. Before she moved in with Cristian, she had nothing of her own, and after she moved in with Cristian…. Many of the things she had were given to her by Cristian.
At that moment she realized that her 20-plus years of life was an illusion.
There was nothing left.
Serena felt it was ridiculous to live like that, so she put nothing away. She sat quietly on the bed and looked at the landscape outside the window.
In the afternoon, Chiara came to the hotel to pick her up.
“Ms. Gallo, Mr. Giordano asked me to pick you up, I booked the ticket for you. The plane will leave at eight o’clock tonight, is there any problem?”
“No.” Serena shook her head, “All right, thank you.”
Chiara looked at her. Although she was hesitant to say it or not, in the end she could not stop herself from asking, “Have you warned your friends and relatives? Does she really want to leave? After she leaves … won’t she regret it?”
Relatives and friends?
Serena’s first thought was Anna would miss her if she left.
And knowing her, she would have advised her not to leave.
Better to let it go, better to have told her after she left.
As for the others.
“I have nothing to say, would it be a problem for you to notify my family?”
Clare was stunned for a moment and then promised, “That’s obvious. Whatever you need, I will do it.”
“All right, let’s go.”
Serena grabbed her bag and stood up.
Chiara was amazed and commented, “You don’t have anything else to carry? Just that?”
“No, I don’t have anything to bring, just a few pairs of clothes, that’s all.”
Finally, Clare accompanied her to the airport; it was after five o’clock when they arrived at the airport.
“There is still a long wait, Mr. Giordano has gone to a meeting, he will arrive at the airport in about half an hour, he will come to see you.”
“Okay.”
So they waited at the airport for half an hour, and Matteo finally arrived, albeit late.
Matteo looked a little tired, talked to Chiara, who immediately took the ticket papers from her bag.
“These are…”
Serena took them and saw her picture printed on them, but her name was not Serena Gallo. Her birth date and residential address had also changed.
Just when Serena thought she had taken the wrong documents, she heard Matteo’s voice echo behind her.
“Serena Giordano.”
She raised her head in amazement.
“From now on, the name you were given at birth will be Serena, and your last name is Giordano.”
” Serena Giordano…” Serena touched the picture with her fingers, so that was now her name?
