The sudden sound of a male voice made both people freeze at the same time, and two seconds later they both looked toward the source of the voice.
At the pit entrance, Matteo, dressed in black, stood with eyes tinged with restrained annoyance, staring at Manuel.
At Matteo’s cold stare, Manuel clearly sensed the anger he was conveying and instantly frowned.
“It seems that I have offended my uncle, I want to ask for help again.”
But now he had not yet accomplished his mission, and Anna did not know when she would arrive, although he had told the waiter to bring Anna to that room as soon as she arrived.
“I hope Anna could get here safely before my uncle finishes all this.”
-Uncle.
He was looking forward to his uncle’s arrival, but now that Matteo had finally shown up, Manuel was a little afraid of him and cowered behind the shouting, hoping Anna would show up soon.
As long as Anna was here, Matteo’s attention would not be on him.
In principle, Matteo would not come.
It was the young woman’s choice whether she wanted to meet another man, and he had no right to interfere with her freedom of life and her right to choose.
But it was one thing to think about it and another to know if he would.
After hanging up the phone, he thought for a moment, and his body was still making the decision before his brain.
Even though Matthew knew he could come on this trip and see her on a blind date with another man, he could not hold back.
The kind of emotion he wanted to spill out was completely out of control.
But before entering the room, Matteo did not expect to hear those words, so it seemed that Anna was not here.
After entering and confirming, the girl wasn’t really there.
It seemed that he had been tricked by Manuel.
Matthew’s legs took a quiet step beside Manuel before his cold gaze landed on Hector’s face.
As soon as their gazes met, Hector felt as if an additional pressure had been exerted on him, an invisible pressure that made him freeze in place, unable to move.
Manuel looked so delicate and charming, and he seemed to act like a son of a big family. So Hector had prepared himself a little in his mind, but Matthew’s appearance still caught him off guard. Because the man in front of him looked very good and had a very strong aura.
And he could see that the man in front of him was no ordinary man.
How did Anna attract such a man?
-This gentleman,‖ Matteo said coldly, staring at him. I’m Manuel’s uncle, how are you?
The aura was very strong.
Hector offered his hand to the other man.
-Hello, I’m Hector, how are you?
Matthew extended his hand toward him, then withdrew it and said slowly,
-What Manuel just said is not the truth, children like to talk nonsense, I hope you don’t take it badly.
-I know, I know, they are just children, I don’t take it seriously.
-If you are serious, I can explain.
-No, no,‖ Hector awkwardly waved his hand. No need to explain, I believe it. And I don’t believe Anna is this kind of girl, how could she do such a thing? I believe her.
-Now that you said the wrong thing, apologize seriously,‖ Matthew looked at Manuel with a stern look.
-Uncle,” Manuel pouted aggressively.
He didn’t want to apologize, and he hadn’t said anything at all, Anna only liked her uncle, and all the things he had said were true. She did not know what her uncle, who was here, was thinking, but she was clarifying it with this man, who was like a helper.
This bothered Manuel a lot.
-Excuse me! -Matthew’s eyes hardened with a deeply stern look.
Well, Manuel could only conclude and said reluctantly,
-I’m sorry Hector, what I said doesn’t make sense, Anna is very good to me, that’s why I always wanted Anna to be my aunt.
-It’s okay, it’s okay, I don’t mind, don’t worry.
Soon the food was served and Hector broke the embarrassment.
-Since we are all here, why don’t we sit down and eat together?
Matthew looked at the food on the table as much as at the expensive bottle of red wine in front of him, and with one glance he looked again at Manuel.
Manuel could only shyly bow his head to his uncle’s gaze.
If he had no money, but had to make a fool of himself, Anna would suffer if she married such a man!
Matthew sat down anyway.
The three had just taken their seats when a female voice came from outside the door.
-Here? Thank you.
Anna’s breathing was still unsteady as she entered the box, having just arrived after receiving Manuel’s message, and looked at her bank account balance as she went up.
It had been a tearful moment.
Since she was now a poor person, how was she going to pay when he came?
As Anna thought about it, she felt miserable.
Arriving at the venue, Anna immediately headed toward the stage, shouting Manuel’s name as she entered, only to be paralyzed by the sight of someone’s figure.
Matteo…
“Why is he here too?”
There were three people sitting in the box, Matteo, Manuel, and Hector.
Anna was immediately embarrassed. Her lips parted, but not a word came out.
She had expected Ettore and Manuel to be the only ones there, and she had even said her piece, but now that she saw Matteo here, she could not say a word.
She did not want to see him, much less say another word to him or get more involved with him.
She did not expect Manuel to…
Quickly, Anna calmed down, calmed her breathing, and then went to sit quietly next to Hector.
Matthew’s eyes lowered a little, and his lips tightened and remained still.
Manuel took one look and was immediately annoyed.
-Anna, come and sit with me,‖ he pointed to the seat next to him and then to Matteo. Uncle, get up, I want to sit with Anna, you go and sit next to her.
Before Matthew could respond, Anna said indifferently,
-As if on purpose, Anna smiled again and took the floor to explain, -No, it’s okay to sit like this. To introduce you, Hector is my blind date and it is good for me to sit with him and get to know him a little better.
Hector was surprised and pleased by her words, it seemed Anna approved of him…. So he looked at Anna fondly.
