Chapter 143 Woman in Need of Taming
In an instant, Giorgio's face turned darker than charcoal. He stood up abruptly, towering over Anna, and said with a condescending tone, "Anna, I'm giving you one minute to come back with me. Otherwise... I won't mind carrying you back myself."
Dominant, cold-hearted, and threatening.
What he said, he would definitely carry out.
Anna's heart quivered.
Being carried like that in front of so many people?
How would the news write about it tomorrow!
But when she thought about his actions last night, her anger couldn't be suppressed.
She lifted her gaze, staring directly into his eyes, and said firmly, "Go ahead and carry me. I guarantee that tomorrow, everyone will know that the mighty Mr. Vittorio is parading his own sister, who happens to be his wife, in the streets!"
Katherine would have never visited such a place.
By saying this, Anna was challenging the limits.
Giorgio was slightly taken aback.
At that moment, the woman became like a prickly hedgehog.
In the two seconds that he pondered, Anna quickly packed the things on the table into her bag and turned to leave.
Her steps were fast and angry.
Giorgio had never seen a woman throwing tantrums at him before. He caught up with her in brisk strides and grabbed her arm in a quiet tree-lined path.
"Anna, I'm the one who should be angry. What's with that attitude?" His voice was a mix of warmth and anger.
He had spent nearly eight hours looking for her since the morning, only to have her show him this unpleasant expression.
She really needed to be tamed!
Because of her anger, the man's grip on her wrist was tight.
Anna's wrist hurt, but she didn't struggle. Instead, she turned around and looked straight into Giorgio's eyes.
"Throwing an attitude? You're mistaken. Whenever you're even slightly dissatisfied with me, you take it as an excuse to treat me however you please. How could I dare to show you any attitude? Let me go. I've already come up with a plan. I'll say that Katherine got seriously ill from a sudden fall at work. No one will suspect anything, and it won't affect the Vittorio Group or the Stefanelli Group. Who knows, I might even receive sympathy. As for me, I'll go to the Stefanelli Family and serve Katherine every day, or become their servant. Either way, I want nothing to do with you!"
Her voice was filled with hysteria and determination.
No one had ever dared to shout at Giorgio like this before.
His face turned cold, and he exerted more force, pulling her closer to him.
"Slightly dissatisfied? You and Giuseppe were already intimate. Is that only considered 'slightly dissatisfied'? Should I wait until you sleep with him before I have the right to get angry? Hmm?"
The rising intonation in his voice interrogated and coerced.
There was a raging fire behind it.
Anna's face tightened. "You misunderstood! The relationship between Giuseppe and me is not like that!"
"What kind of relationship is it then?" Giorgio pressed her for an answer.
For a moment, she was speechless.
The relationship between her and Giuseppe was...
She really wanted to slap his face hard and tell him, but what would happen afterward?
If he didn't misunderstand her, would she be satisfied?
"Do you regret it?"
'No, it will only bring more trouble.'
She pursed her lips. "It's not the kind of relationship you're thinking of. Besides, even if it were, as my sister's husband, you shouldn't do that to me. You hurt me!"
As the words left her mouth, her face turned red.
Giorgio's eyes darkened as he locked his gaze on the blushing Anna and said, "So don't make me angry again. I can't guarantee what I'll do when I'm angry."
Anna's face flushed with anger and impatience.
She lifted her foot and stomped hard!
"Crap!" Giorgio let out a muffled groan, his brows furrowing in pain.
Anna, not in a good mood, said, "Serves you right. If you lay a hand on me again, I'll crush..."
Before she could finish the last word, a fierce dog bark rang out.
Anna turned her head and saw a pitch-black, enormous wolfhound charging towards her, revealing sharp teeth.
She was already afraid of dogs, and faced with such a large breed, her face turned pale.
"Ah! Help!"
Screaming, she jumped into Giorgio's arms.
Her hands wrapped around his shoulders, and her legs entwined around his waist.
The posture was intimate, seamless, and without any gaps.
Giorgio's body tensed, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice came out hoarse and low:
"Let go, get down."
"I won't. I'm scared of dogs, especially one this big. It might bite me." Anna held onto him tightly, refusing to let go.
She even tightened her grip as she heard the dog barking from behind, as if it was right below her, desperately climbing up.
Giorgio glanced at Blacky, whose menacing teeth were visible at his feet, and his eyes flashed with a hint of interest. He coldly said to the person clinging onto him, "What does that have to do with me if it bites you? Get down."
Sensing his mood, Blacky saw Anna as the person who harmed his master and bit onto her clothes, pulling forcefully.
"Ah! No! Help!"
"I'm supposed to act as your wife, of course it has something to do with me! Quickly, chase it away!" She was panicking and desperate, almost on the verge of tears.
Giorgio narrowed his eyes, raising an eyebrow with amusement.
"Weren't you just saying you won't act as my wife and won't have any more involvement with me?"
Anna choked, shaking her head. "I was just joking. I was wrong, please forgive me and help me."
Giorgio's voice lifted at the end, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, yes! I'm sure!"
Giorgio asked again, "No more involvement with Giuseppe or any other men?"
Anna nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, I never wanted anything to do with him in the first place. He suddenly grabbed my hand and kissed me."
