What was supposed to be a honeymoon for Serena and Cristian turned out to be a gift for Anna and Matteo.
In fact, Cristian had previously planned to attach a honeymoon to the wedding, but at the time Serena was pregnant and did not want to wear a wedding dress, so the planned wedding was postponed.
Now Cristian resumed the matter, but Serena refused. She did not want to wear a wedding dress because she felt out of shape after having a new baby; after all, there are many times a woman can wear a wedding dress in her life.
But Cristian looked at Serena with a complicated look, and Serena wondered:
-What’s the matter with you?
-You’re afraid to wear a wedding dress, aren’t you?
This statement made Serena shudder, not realizing that Cristian had guessed what she had in mind.
Still, she took a deep breath to hide her inner self and said, slightly disgruntled.
-Yes, I have not regained the slim figure I had before, and what if the people coming to our wedding make fun of me?
-Then we could have a wedding with no guests. A wedding where it’s just you and me.
Cristian looked seriously at his wife. He was stubborn and wanted to wear the wedding dress himself for Serena.
Serena saw his determined look and became even more nervous. Because Cristian had been right in those words, she thought back to their first two marriages.
The first time Cristian had been in a wheelchair and had not watched Serena closely; the second time Cristian had been in an accident and had not been present at the wedding, she had been alone and surrounded by the reporters present.
It was as if their marriage could not be blessed by God. So Serena felt that she did not care about marriage as long as she could continue to live happily. For her, marriage was just a ceremony, so Serena shook her head gently:
-I don’t care about marriage, as long as I can be with you.
She did not want separation to come between them again; she was afraid of losing the happy life she had now. Just the thought of the image of Cristian falling into the sea now made her feel breathless, a pain she could not bear.
Sensing Serena’s change in mood, Cristian sighed, took her in his arms and said calmly, -All right let’s do as you wish.
Cristian wanted to make up for Serena’s big wedding, wear the white wedding dress and exchange rings with her. Since Serena didn’t care, Cristian was willing to give up the idea.

Anna packed for the long trip and was ready to go.
Two minutes earlier Matthew had called her to say he was coming to pick her up, and Anna was nervous when he ended the call. She picked up her suitcase and prepared to leave the house, but was stopped by Amelia:
-You just hung up the phone and it will take at least twenty minutes to get to our house, why are you in such a hurry to leave?
Anna was so nervous that she could not finish her sentence, but Amelia did not understand any of her explanations. Seeing her daughter’s nervousness, she could not help poking her forehead with her finger -You should be more confident.
Anna rubbed her forehead, bit her lower lip and said contritely, -I am quite confident.
-How are you going to control your man when you are married if something like taking a trip makes you so nervous?
Anna’s eyes widened in surprise: her mother was asking her to check on Matthew after their marriage, how was that possible?
-What, you never thought about it?
Anna shook her head unconsciously.
-I can’t believe you haven’t even thought about it….. If you don’t control him, what will you do if he then cheats on you?
Amelia was the authority in the house for Giancarlo, so she wanted her daughter to do the same.
But Anna angrily replied, -Matteo is not that kind of person!
Stop talking nonsense, Mother, this is my personal matter and I will deal with it personally.
-Foolish daughter, you will see for yourself. You are very shy now and you may have problems when you get married.
Amelia hoped that Matthew after marriage would have the same personality as Matthew now.
Because too many boys in today’s society are good at masking their personalities before marriage, and when they get married, they reveal their true personalities.
But Matteo didn’t seem like that kind of guy, and Anna couldn’t marry Matteo either.
-I don’t give a damn.
-Well, then I’ll leave your business to God.
Not even Amelia expected her daughter to end up with a young president like Matteo.
It was like Cinderella marrying a prince.
Amelia had also looked into Matteo’s family situation, and he had no parents, so even if Anna married him, she would not be upset by the bad mother-in-law.
Soon Matteo’s car arrived in front of their front door and Anna rushed out with her suitcase, as if she was afraid Amelia would come down and talk to Matteo, so as soon as she got into the car Anna hurried to urge the driver to drive.
The driver thought it was strange, but did as she told him.
Matteo saw that Anna looked nervous and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
-Why are you in such a hurry?
Anna remembered what Amelia had just told her and smiled: -Nothing.
With that, Anna looked away. She was afraid that Matteo would find out, that if Matteo knew that Anna and her mother had talked about marriage, he might think Anna was a gold digger.
Upon arrival at the airport, Anna and Matteo were greeted by the staff. When the receptionist saw Matteo and Anna, she thought the two were a perfect couple, like Romeo and Juliet, and flattered them by saying:
-Mr. Matteo, you and your wife are very much in love.
Normally, newly married couples like to hear these words, so it was natural for the staff to say these things. But Anna, who was standing next to Matteo, heard these words and her face turned red with shyness. She looked at the receptionist and asked, a little uncertainly: -Wife?
-Yes, ma’am. You have booked a honeymoon service for newlyweds, you have a problem,” the receptionist asked suspiciously.
Not knowing what to say, Anna looked at Matthew and asked in a whisper: Do we have to explain?
