Chapter 1541This is voluntary
The words made Anna blush, and for a moment she forgot the rest and just pushed him.
“Don’t be so immodest, I’m talking about something very serious.”
“Impertinent?” Matthew’s eyes grew deeper and his tone lowered, “What is not serious? Not going to the office to be with you more is not serious? Or is … what is not serious?”
Anna: “Stop it!”
She pushes Matteo away, but he instead puts his hand in hers, he grabs her and pulls her into his arms, so that both of her thin arms are around his strong, thin waist. At first it was about the child, but then what? How can someone else’s business be a reason to annoy us? Even if she has problems in her marriage, it’s her fault, not yours.”
Anna pouted at him, “Why are you so cold? He’s our friend, isn’t he?”
“Friends?” Matthew sighed helplessly, “You and he are friends, I have never been friends with him.”
When he had first fallen in love with Anna, the two would be considered rivals in love, wouldn’t they?
Matthew, cold by nature, naturally did not have much affection for Luke, and he was also cold toward his brother-in-law Cristian, probably because he had lost so much as a child and then grown up alone.
He had carried too much alone and developed loneliness long ago.
Thinking about this, Anna felt a little sorry for him again and could only reach out and hug him a little tighter.
“Don’t be like this, you have to try to accept others, Luca is not hostile to you, one more friend is one more care.”
It had been an accident to keep Anna around, something Matthew himself had not expected, let alone stay with her.
But with Anna, his heart opened a little more than usual, because he was never used to being accosted; now he sleeps every night with Anna in his arms, and sometimes she kicks off the blankets and he wakes up to cover her in case she is cold.
Most importantly, with two children, Matthew finally has a few more family members in this world.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Anna has brought not only herself, but also her children and her parents.
Amelia and Giancarlo have also become Matteo’s parents and now they also urge Matteo to take care of himself, it is really nice to have someone who cares.
He has always been the oldest in front of his sister and the one who goes to take care of her.
So Anna’s parental care was warm and fulfilling for him.
“Actually, having you is enough.” Matthew said.
“It is not enough, you cannot have only me in your life.” Anna shook her head and reasoned seriously with him, “There must be others, after all, I can’t always be there for you.”
Matthew frowned slightly, “What do you mean?”
“Life and death are unpredictable, I don’t know what comes first, the accident or tomorrow, I can’t guarantee that I will live long and safely, maybe someday …”
Before the last words could be spoken, Matthew covered her mouth and Anna had to swallow the words she wanted to say.
She stared at Matteo with one eye.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Matteo’s eyebrows furrowed and the furrow between them was deep, deep: “Don’t ever say such a thing again.”
He had sent away so many loved ones, his mental defenses would not hold up if even the one person he loved had to leave him.
Anna could not help but laugh heartily when she saw that he was taking her seriously.
“Why are you so nervous? I’m just saying, and this is the truth, I’m just assuming, it’s not like I’m saying something is really going to happen to me, I just want you to be more accepted by the outside world, I don’t want you to be so lonely.”
“Okay, I promise, that’s enough.”
What started as Matthew opening up to Anna turned into Anna opening up to him, so Matthew decided he would not talk about it anymore.
Time passed slowly and Samantha and Luca’s baby finally had its own name.
I look.
It was Samantha’s name, and Luca froze for a moment when he first heard it, then said yes without saying anything.
Then the two of them went to get the baby’s name and Flora didn’t think about it, smiled and said that her daughter-in-law knew how to choose names and that the baby’s name was so beautiful, much better than their son’s name and so on.
Luca could only sigh inwardly.
Flora didn’t care, as long as the two were not divorced, it didn’t matter what the grandchild’s name was, even if it was Dog Egg.
The days passed casually, like water.
A month later, Luca is still doing what he has to insist, so well that he is like a robot, and Samantha is somehow used to his routine from the beginning of her discomfort to the end.
And she realized that Luca had not been kidding when he said he wanted to make it up to her.
It’s just that all this time, probably because of taking care of her, going to bed late and waking up early, Luca has dark circles under his eyes.
So one morning after Luca was ready to get up early to go get everything ready for Samantha, his hand was taken by her.
Luca was stunned and looked at Samantha in disbelief.
He dared not think about it, but simply asked her in a low voice, “Are you awake? Did I wake you up?”
Samantha shook her head, then looked at him without speaking.
Luke was so weak from such a look that he could only look away, “You … can sleep some more, I’ll go make breakfast.”
“No need.” Samantha pulled him in once more, “You don’t have to get up so early every day to do this from now on.”
At those words, Luca’s breath tightened a few notches and his face turned ugly.
“Why? Is there something I’ve done wrong again lately? Or is there something I’ve done that doesn’t suit you? If it doesn’t suit you, then I ….”
“That’s not it!” Samantha abruptly interrupted him, half-closing her red lips and taking a deep breath, “Calm down, lie down and slowly listen to what I have to say.”
Her expression was relatively calm, not that she was unhappy with him, but Luke was more nervous than a torture chamber, yet he had to lie down and listen to her.
The heart, it was as if it were kept on fire.
“You’ve done well this month, and I’ve seen your determination, but with everything you’ve done, I’ve thought a lot about how unfair it might be for you to do this.”
“No, it’s voluntary.”
“Just listen to me.”
Luca tightened his lips and spoke no more.
“Feelings are mutual, whether you want them to be or not, and it creates an imbalance if you always make one person give. Just like before, when I was deeply attached to you and you were superficially attached to me, there was an imbalance in time. Even if you are getting forgiven now, there is an imbalance in time, so I have thought about it and you should not do it in the future.”
