Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 481: Where is your self-esteem?

When Serena returned to the Jordans, she immediately went to the kitchen and prepared the rice soup.

She assumed that Cristian would have to eat something very light because of the wound.

She also thought that Cristian's wound was on his back, so how would he be able to sleep all night? He could not lie down because the wound would surely get worse if it was pressed. Was she supposed to sleep on her stomach?

Serena was reminded of a very different scene, in which that tall figure was curled up on top of that crib, lying miserably, and then she could not hold back the urge to laugh. After laughing a few times, Serena felt that she was miserable at that moment. If he had not saved her from the sulfuric acid, her back would not have been injured so badly and the person lying there would probably have been her instead of him.

Moreover, if he had not done so, both his face and body would have been ....

What a terrible thing! Serena did not dare to think about it anymore, but went to quickly boil the rice soup, then got a thermos to put it in. After thinking about it, she cooked some light dishes of her own invention.

She cooked well, but less often over the years, because Anna was a much better cook than she was, and Manuel also liked her dishes, so since they lived together, it was Anna who cooked. Although the skill was rusty, she had not yet abandoned it.

Serena hurried to prepare the dishes, then loaded the bucket from the thermos and left.

Just as she was leaving the kitchen, she ran into Matteo, whose face was indifferent and silent.

At Matteo's stern look, Serena timidly moved the thermos she was holding to the other side, trying to avoid him, but to no avail.

In fact it was useless, how could Matteo not know what she wanted to do?

Thinking about this, Serena stopped and looked at Matteo.

-Brother.

Anyway, a greeting was in order.

Matteo half-closed his thin lips and his eyes were a little cold: -Can you still call me brother?

Serena replied, -Why can't I call you that?

-Have you forgotten who hurt you like that five years ago,II Matteo stared at her, without looking away, -It's been five years, you've forgotten all that, and now you still want to meet him? Serena, where is your self-esteem?

-So what do you think I should do? That man put up with everything for me, and now he lies in the hospital covered with wounds. If it weren't for him, I would be the one lying there right now, and you would probably be the one bringing me food. So are you still going to stop me? Matthew said, "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be in trouble. If you approach him again, you will still be in trouble in the future. Can he endure for you once, can he endure for two or three times, or even for a lifetime?

When she heard the description of a lifetime, Serena's face changed slightly.

-I don't want to think about it now and have no other feelings for him. Even if it was not him who saved me, but a stranger, I would still go to the hospital to take care of him out of benevolence, without personal feelings.

Matthew stared at her, "Are you sure you have no personal feelings? Then can you promise me that you won't fall in love with him again?"

-Yes, I promise," Serena nodded, "I never wanted to fall in love with him again, so don't worry about that. Besides, what I want to tell you is that even if I wanted to fall in love with him, that would be my own business that I could handle on my own.

Matthew reached out and grabbed her shoulder.

-I don't want to control you on purpose. You are now the noble daughter of the Giordano family and I don't want you to repeat the same mistakes you made before, do you understand?

-Of course, I understand. But I'm not a child, and I want to decide my own life instead of being dragged into another life decided by someone else... That kind of life is not what I want, can you understand that? Matteo stared at her, suddenly said nothing, then left her shoulders and turned to leave.

She didn't know whether Matthew understood her or not, but at that moment she didn't want to think about it so much and left quickly, carrying the thermos bucket. Matteo walked to the corner and then looked again at the figure who did not raise his head, which disappointed him greatly.

Anna stood behind him and spoke weakly, "Mr. Giordano, don't be angry. Serena is such a kind-hearted person that she will go and take care of the person who saved her, so she will go to the hospital because of what that person did rather than because of who she is.

Because of the kiss given to Matteo, Anna had avoided seeing him for a long time. She had to find the courage to call him and stuttered when she talked to him. But after confronting him often, Anna felt less

nervous now.

Nothing would happen with a simple kiss.

As an older man who had never been in love, nothing would happen to him even if he was kissed by her, a girl.

Matthew could not be moved by a kiss. If he had fallen in love with her....

Then...it would have been better for her.

Thinking about this, Anna became more confident.

The man was not young and time would not wait for him, so she had to continue to appreciate him in the future, otherwise he would be even older!

While thinking about this, Matthew looked at Anna. Anna shivered, feeling that all those ideas in her head had disappeared.

She bit her lower lip and said, "I am telling the truth. I've also known Serena for a long time, so- -

As he bit his lower lip, Matthew thought about what had happened that day. That the girl in front of him had suddenly approached him and kissed him. No one had ever done such a surprising action toward him, so this incident struck him for a long time, and it also appeared to him in his dreams.

Anna winced at his glance and unconsciously took a step back.

-If you think what I said is wrong, then I, then... I will leave," she said.

After saying this, she prepared to go back.

However, Matthew suddenly called out to her, -You-II.

Anna stopped her steps and turned to point to herself, "Me?

-Yes,II Matteo replied, his gaze rested firmly on her face and finally he could not hold himself back and moved to her lips.

The sight was so bright that Anna felt it all at once. Then her face became very hot, and immediately she felt too embarrassed, "What's wrong?

Matthew said nothing, taking two steps forward in a calm character.

Anna's face became very red and took big steps back.

-You, what are you doing? Don't come any closer.

After saying this, he turned and ran quickly.
