Matthew felt that she was defending him with her heart on her sleeve.
A strange feeling arose in his heart.
-All right, but I haven’t said anything yet. No need to say it clearly, did I tell you that he is a violent man?
Anna was stunned for a moment, thinking that her mother already assumed he was, could it be that she was thinking wrong?
Amelia looked at Matthew.
-Anyway, this time you helped our daughter. If it weren’t for you, we might end up making fools of ourselves, so I thank you very much.
After speaking, she stood up and bowed her head to thank him.
Seeing this, Anna’s father did the same.
He had never experienced this form of thanks before, so Matthew was surprised for a few seconds before reacting.
-Mr. and Mrs., what are you doing?
Anyone would do it like me.
Amelia looked at the tall and handsome man, and then at her daughter who was shy and scared, Matteo’s cell phone rang as she was thinking about something.
-Excuse me, I have to take a call.
She picked up the phone and went to the balcony.
Taking advantage of the time when she was answering the phone, Amelia looked at her daughter again.
At first she thought that after what had happened last night, her daughter should have been very depressed or upset, but now?
These negative emotions had completely disappeared because at that moment she was full of joy. And when Matthew went to the balcony, Anna was also looking furtively over there.
“… All daughters are ungrateful.”
Thinking that in the future this man would steal her daughter from her hands. Amelia was sad and happy, approached her daughter and asked her in a low voice.
-Tell me, what else happened last night?
-What…”
When her mother mentioned last night, she had a big reaction, but thanks to the morning lessons, instead of jumping up, she pretended to sit quietly.
-I trust that nothing happened.
-She narrowed her eyes and stared at her.
She blinked nervously and nodded her head vigorously, -Nothing happened.
But when her mother came closer to look at her more closely, she lowered her head with a guilty conscience and did not dare to look into his eyes at all.
How was it possible that his mother had not caught everything? She looked at the figure on the balcony and whispered in his ear: Is it the same one you told me about earlier? –
-How about it?
“Why are you asking me all of a sudden? Have you already figured it out so quickly?” Anna was very distressed.
Seeing that her daughter was confused and uneasy, she knew she had guessed.
But she did not expect that she was in love with Manuel’s uncle.
She thought this and said to her, “You treat Manuel very well, is it because you are in love with his uncle or what?
-Mom! Stop talking nonsense, they have nothing to do with each other. Even if they are related, it’s not for that reason.
First of all, she was a good friend of Serena and then she fell in love with Matteo. If Anna and Matteo were not to become boyfriends in the future, she and Serena would not have broken the friendship, so taking care of Manuel to win Matteo was not impossible.
She simply got along well with Manuel, and those two were good friends.
-Ok, my daughter is not a freeloader, besides, Manuel is so naive and trusts you so much, I am sure he is a good guy.
While talking to his daughter, Matteo came back after answering the call, Anna stood up nervously, -Are you called to the company? I’m fine here, can you–you’ll be back sooner.
Seeing her daughter’s attitude, she smiled and stood up as well.
-That’s right, Mr. Matteo, all of this was thanks to you. If you can, we would like to invite you home for lunch, but it seems you are very busy, so let’s meet another day when you are free to express our gratitude, okay?
“Stay for lunch?” She glanced at Anna. If she really agreed, she would definitely be more nervous, so she smiled warmly at him.
-Madam, thank you very much, but I have a very urgent matter in the company, I will invite you another day.
-What do you mean you will invite? I will let your father arrange it, after all, we will do it to thank you.
Then, Matteo said nothing, Amelia pushed her daughter a little.
-Anna, accompany Mr. Matteo downstairs.
-Yes, I understand,‖ she responded and accompanied him out and downstairs.
The two went down the stairs in silence, and as he was about to leave, he saw out of the corner of his eye that she was quiet.
Since he had kissed her last night, he had pretended that nothing had happened, was he still doing it?
But he only told her in a soft tone to rest well.
-Back.
The cold greeting reminded her that they had reached the door, she nodded nervously because she had not expected him to be so quick.
-Well, then you… Be careful on the way.
After speaking, she waved to him.
Seeing that there was no expression on his face, she withdrew her hand and went up the stairs.
Suddenly she felt her arm begin to clench tightly, Anna’s steps stopped, and she could not move forward.
This man stopped her.
-What is it?
“What does he want to do?” her heartbeat was accelerated, and she dared not say anything because the two of them had not talked about what happened last night until now, but Clare had brought up the subject before they came this way, so she was very worried about that man talking about what happened last night.
Of course, it was mixed with concern and a bit of anticipation.
-Don’t go out alone these days, call me if you want anything.
Matthew did not talk about what happened last night, but he said a few words to her and she nodded.
-Go inside.
As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed her head, and his voice became softer -Don’t think too much.
-Are you all right?
She quickly raised her head to meet his gaze, -Don’t think too much? You mean what happened last night? Are you telling me not to think too much about these things, not to take them so seriously?”
Just as she looked at him uncertainly, he suddenly came closer, breathing on the back of her head.
-I told you not to think too much, why did you start remembering what we had last night?
Her face blushed, -Because she knows, she can guess at a glance what I’m thinking, is it because I’m being too obvious? Have you read my thoughts yet?”
