Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 418: The stone does not blossom.

Serena returned to the office. It was not long before it was time to leave work.

Because she had spent too much time out today and had no car to drive after work, Anna and Serena had to prepare to take a cab back. Anna's eyes widened when she heard that her car had rear-ended. -From behind? Are you hurt?"

Serena had a slight headache and laughed slightly. -I'm probably inexperienced.

-No experience, really? Do you think this is the first day I've met you? You drive very carefully. Something must have hit you.

Serena gasped. It was true that Anna knew her very well.

Five years of friendship had made them well acquainted with each other's habits and abilities.

Serena had no way to hide it, just a faint smile.

-Tell me the truth, did that bastard Cristian do something to you?

Speaking of Cristian, Serena thought about what he had told her this afternoon. He said he was married, but then he did these strange things to her. He also...

-No. She denied it instantly.

-No? Then why did he make the accident?

-I was thinking about the design. Isabella will be at the launch in a few days, right?

Serena was quick to divert the conversation. And Anna, an innocent girl, as soon as she heard Serena mention Isabella's launch, her eyes sparkled. -The dress is almost ready. It will be delivered to our office first and then we will send it to Isabella. This is the first design work of our company after opening.....

-Yes. -The first design is very collectible. Remember to mark the designer's name as Arianna's name. And take a picture for her to keep.

Anna could not help but wince when she heard this. -Although the work was designed by her, it was directed by you. Besides, it is now under our company. It is okay to label it with your name, but it is necessary to add our name.

Serena laughed, -Why do you think too much?

-Huh. It's not a bad thing. It's just a way to make our company more famous.

-Well. We'll talk about it with Arianna.

-Yes.

The two chatted as they got into the cab.

Serena hadn't been in a cab for years. Because it was not very convenient to ride in a cab in heels, especially during rush hour like this.

So when Serena and Anna got back to the Jordans' house, it was a good time. They both looked a little tired.

They looked at each other and then smiled.

The next day turned out to be a weekend. So Serena stayed in bed, slept for a long time.

It was also rare that the weather was nice and she was free. So Serena planned to take Manuel to the school she had examined. If Manuel also liked it, she would let him stay there for a week. -Mom, Mom, are we really going to school today?

-Yes, II Manuel, couldn't help but crane his neck as Serena was sorting out his clothes.

-So Mom is not going to drive me to school today, is she?" Manuel wrapped his arms around Serena's arm in mercy with an aggravated look.

Serena froze for a moment, then laughed slightly and said. -No, not at all. If Manuel likes it, you can go to school for a week to get used to it, how about that?

Manuel obviously didn't want to go. He had already finished all the school knowledge by himself. Manuel also believed that he could stop going to school.

However, it was a secret that belonged only to Manuel. Serena knew nothing about it; she thought he simply did not want to leave her because of the way he hugged her arm. She had to take his hand and leave as he said. -Don't think so hard. This school is close to Mother's business. When the time comes, Mother will come to pick you up after work. Then we will go home together. -Wow,that's great!

Anna couldn't sit still when she heard they were going to see the school. She offered to go with her. And it turned out that Matthew was also free.

So it was a four-person trip.

Matteo drove the other three sat in the back.

Anna was nervous. After all, she was still haunted by what had happened earlier. She didn't know if Matteo still remembered. Maybe he had forgotten, but she could not forgive herself for his behavior that day. It was embarrassing.

Serena laughed at how quiet she was. -Why don't you speak?

Anna was speechless.

She stared at Serena and thought, -Knowing full well that I'm embarrassed, and you're still asking me?

Serena let out a laugh. She was just casually asking. But no one was supposed to know that the next moment Manuel suddenly spoke. -Aunt Anna, why are you so afraid of my uncle?

The expression on Anna's face froze.

Were the mother and son trying to annoy her? Could they not treat her as a transparent person? Treat her as if she did not exist?

"Scared of me?"-Matteo was called by Manuel and looked at Anna sitting behind him through the rearview mirror.

Feeling his gaze on her, Anna winced. She sat up straight with a very embarrassed smile plastered on her face.

-No," Anna's mouth twisted as she explained to herself. -I didn't sleep well last night....

Anna secretly reached out and slapped Manuel's ass. She lowered her voice and pressed the words between her teeth.

-Manuel. Are you trying to embarrass me?

-Aunt Anna. Why are you poking me? Manuel's eyes are wide with a look of pure innocence.

Matteo looked again in the rearview mirror.

Finally, Anna could only cast a pleading glance at Serena, who smiled slightly. Then her eyes naturally averted, pretending not to have seen anything. Nevertheless, Manuel was a child. But this little boy was really smart. It was amazing that he believed in opportunities for Anna and Matteo.

If only Anna was Matteo's girl. It seemed that... he was good too?

-Did I? You have the wrong feeling, don't you? It was Serena who hit you," Anna blamed Serena.

Serena paused, laughing. -Did I do that? Well, I did it then.

Hearing what Serena said, Anna's face turned red.

If she denied it, there was still a chance to retort. But this look of Serena admitting it with a tone of helplessness, as if she had no choice but to do so. Matthew in front of her did not make a sound or look in their direction. Anna breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time she felt a small loss in her heart. A man who had been a bachelor for so many years.

He was like a stone.

For the stone to flourish, it was not easy....

Forget about it! He could only think about it. Such a good man would never belong to her.

Only Matthew was still single until now, this made her feel hopeful again.
