Chapter 137 You Smell So Nice
In the luxurious dining room, Giorgio and the two children sat upright.
On her seat, there was a giant bouquet of flowers, about one meter fifty centimeters tall, and a box of exquisite high-end skincare products on the table.
What was going on?
"Mummy, these are gifts from Giorgio," Penny spoke up.
Anna was shocked and looked at Giorgio in utter astonishment. He had bought her gifts?
"Why?" she asked.
A flicker of unease crossed Giorgio's face.
The gifts were prepared by the two kids, intending to help him "apologize for something that didn't happen" and make Anna happy.
Originally, he had planned to discard them. But when he recalled her cold expression and tired demeanor last night, he inexplicably decided to keep them.
Before he could say anything, Charlie took the initiative, "Dad saw that you were unhappy last night, so he bought gifts for you."
"They're skincare products and flowers, which girls like the most. Open them up quickly."
Anna was pulled to her seat by the little guy, looking at the beautifully packaged high-end skincare products in front of her that she had never seen before. Well, she had seen them on Katherine's dressing table.
He gave her skincare products, were they just something he casually took from Katherine?
Or perhaps he thought her skin was not good, and wanted her to take care of it properly so that it wouldn't affect his image.
She said, "Thank you, I will use it diligently every day. Later, I will also go to the beauty center for skincare, emphasizing on maintenance."
Her voice was faint and her expression polite.
Was this the expression she had heard when he gave her gifts?
Giorgio's handsome face turned grim, and he coldly opened his lips, saying, "I have some business to attend to at the company today, do as you please."
Then, he stood up with his tall and slender figure and walked away.
Charlie and Penny looked bewildered.
They had clearly wanted to bring the two closer, so why did it seem like both of them were angry?
"Mummy, don't you like flowers and gifts?"
"Anna, did I choose the wrong gift?"
Anna had no objections to the gift, after all, every girl loved beauty. But thinking about the purpose of the skincare products, which was to better portray Katherine, she resisted and hesitated in her heart.
She touched the heads of the two children and spoke softly,
"It's nothing, I like it, and I will really use it properly. What are the two of you planning to do today? Shall I take you to the arcade to play some games?"
Penny and Charlie shook their heads.
"We already have tickets to go to the amusement park today, and we also made plans to meet a new friend we met yesterday."
"Mummy, are you coming too?"
The amusement park?
There would be a lot of people there, and it would be inconvenient for her to go in her current identity.
"Nevermind, the two of you go, have fun, and let Little Tony take more pictures for you." When they returned to Vista Heights, she wanted to keep them as memories.
Penny and Charlie nodded. "Okay."
"Mummy, rest well at home."
After the two children finished their breakfast, they left cheerfully.
The atmosphere turned quiet.
Anna glanced at the bouquet, stood up, found a vase in the house, opened the bouquet, took out the flowers, trimmed them nicely, and placed them in the vase.
The luxurious villa now had a warm atmosphere.
Ding! A text message sounded.
It was Katherine's phone.
Anna walked over and picked it up. After seeing the content on the screen, her black pupils instantly froze.
Clap! Her hand trembled, and the phone fell to the ground.
It took her a full five seconds before she reacted and picked up the phone from the floor.
On it was a photo sent by Giuseppe, showing Katherine and him lying together in an extremely intimate pose.
Their relationship had actually reached such an intimate level!
If this photo were to be leaked, it would cause a huge sensation!
Besides the photo, there was also a text message.
'Katherine, do you remember when this photo was taken?'
'I want to see you today.'
The words were casual and friendly, but they obviously carried a threat.
Implied meaning, "it wouldn't be good if we couldn't meet."
Anna tightly gripped the phone, hesitating and feeling uneasy.
'See, I will definitely be regarded as Katherine.'
If they don't see each other, the photos will surely be made public.
No matter the option, none of them worked.
What can be done about this?
In her anxiety, she had a brilliant idea and her eyes lit up as she replied.
'Of course, I remember. But we just got married, and the media and everyone's attention is on me. I was even secretly photographed last night. If our relationship is discovered, both you and I would be ruined.'
Ding!
As soon as the message was sent, a text came back.
'So, your previous indifference towards me was just a disguise, huh?'
Anna contemplated his response. His ability to understand was actually quite good.
Let's just deal with it like this for now.
'Well, of course. Give it some time, wait for a month and a half to pass when there's less attention on us, then we can meet again.'
By then, Katherine would have also woken up.
On the other end, there was a spacious and bright office.
Giuseppe sat in a swivel chair, his captivating eyes filled with a smile.
Oh, Katherine, does she know how much she hurt him?
Looking at the content on the screen, he took out his phone and dialed his mother's number.
"Mom, are you going to the beauty salon today? Invite Katherine to join you."
Lady Henna, upon hearing this, became angry.
"Giuseppe, why are you mentioning that woman to me? Let me tell you, her arrogant attitude will eventually be her downfall. Stay away from her."
Giuseppe smiled and said, "I just thought that since you enjoy going to the beauty salon, you could enjoy some top-notch services with her."
Nowadays, Katherine was treated specially wherever she goes.
Henna realized this. "Right, why didn't I think of using her? It's a good chance to bask in her glory and disgust her. You know how to think for my sake. I will contact her right away."
"Mm." Giuseppe hung up the phone, a deep and enigmatic smile appearing in his eyes.
He turned off the computer, stood up, and left.
Anna didn't wait for Giuseppe's reply and felt that she must have convinced him.
She let out a sigh of relief, laid down on the sofa to rest, and then the phone rang again.
An incoming call from Giuseppe's mother.
That unfriendly-looking woman?
Anna felt that it wouldn't be something good, so it would be better to ignore it.
Little did she know, the calls kept coming, one after another, as if they would never stop.
Annoying!
She ran her fingers through her hair, picked up the phone, and answered.
"Hello, Katherine. The weather is nice today. Come out for some beauty treatment. I'm almost at your villa. Get ready and come out."
After speaking, the other party hung up, not giving Anna a chance to refuse.
Anna had a bad feeling and didn't know how to respond, so she called Giorgio.
'Dear Giorgio'
The screen displayed an affectionate nickname, showing the love between them.
Why did Katherine, who loves Giorgio so much, get involved with Giuseppe?
Could it be that Giorgio is impotent?
No, four years ago that night, Giorgio clearly…
"Hello?" At this moment, a man's low, dark voice came from the phone, just like that night several years ago when he whispered in her ear, 'You smell so good.'
Anna's breath tightened, and instinctively she cursed, "Bastard!"
