Chapter 241 She Eventually Became the Mistress
She had been gone for a full five hours, and he had not made a single call or sent a single message.
Her departure must not be important to him.
After all, she was just a substitute; how could she be cared for?
This was the best outcome. Everyone went their separate ways, but why wasn't the feeling in her heart as joyful as she imagined?
"Anna, the weather is bad, stay here tonight, and when the airline resumes flights, I'll book tickets to send you back." Simon's voice rang out.
Anna snapped back to reality. Looking at his gentle and gentlemanly demeanor, she quickly closed her phone and collected her thoughts.
"Okay, thank you."
The two adults and one child walked into the hotel room, completely oblivious to the disguised reporter following behind them taking sneaky shots.
Inside the room, a high-end VIP suite, there was only one super-sized bed.
Were they supposed to sleep together tonight?
Anna's eyebrows knitted slightly.
It was unclear whether Simon saw through her thoughts or was simply stating the obvious. "I have something to do tonight; I'll leave after settling you two."
So that was it.
Anna inexplicably relaxed.
Penny, however, was not happy. "No Giorgio, no Charlie, and future Daddy is also leaving... I’m sad... I want to cry."
"Silly girl, Mommy is with you."
"But I want Charlie." Even the most sensible little girl was an emotional child, at this moment her mouth pouted, and her face drooped; she was very unhappy.
Simon's gentle gaze deepened.
After Mirlinda got pregnant, he thought that if Giorgio really liked Anna, it would be nice for Anna to be with Giorgio, after all, judging by Giorgio's character of spoiling Charlie, anyone he liked would be treated especially indulgently, being Mrs. Vittorio would also mean a life without worry.
But, Katherine's forcible measures tonight, and Giorgio's lack of concern for such a long time, made him see through it all. Giorgio's feelings for Anna may not be love, and the complexity of the Stefanelli family and the Vittorio family also didn’t suit Anna.
She had given birth to Penny, so how could a person like Giorgio accept that? At most it was just a fleeting interest.
He walked over and squatted down, his large hand gently falling on Penny's little head as he softly comforted her, "Little princess, have you seen the news today?
Giorgio has someone he likes, and everyone is blessing them, if your mommy and Giorgio are together, she will be hurt. Do you want your mommy to be with someone who doesn't love her, to be bullied and scolded?"
"No, I don't want that!" The little girl answered quite firmly.
Simon smiled, then said, "That's right, you and Charlie can be friends. Grow up well, work hard to go to college, and maybe in the future you can be classmates with Charlie; isn't that a happy thing?
As for your mommy, your mommy's greatest happiness is to be with you and see you happy. Can you bear to be unhappy because of others, and make your mommy unhappy with you?"
His gentle and soft-spoken words were a bit convoluted.
But strangely, Penny understood, her dark eyes spinning, she said, "I can't bear it."
"Mommy, I'm not unhappy anymore! I want to study hard in the future and be classmates with Charlie! You also have to be with someone who loves you, not Giorgio!"
The little girl's change was so fast that it caught Anna off guard.
She was grateful for Simon's guidance to Penny, but at the same time, she felt a slight bitterness in her heart. What he said just now was correct, she and Giorgio, both emotionally and logically, had no possibility.
Huh! What was she thinking?!
Why was she considering such things?!
She slapped her head, quickly suppressed her thoughts, and took Penny to the bathroom.
By the time they got into bed, it was already eleven o'clock at night, and Simon had left.
Anna was putting the child to sleep, preparing to go to sleep herself.
'Ding dong~~' The doorbell unexpectedly rang.
Who could it be at this late hour?
For safety reasons, Anna got up, opened the peephole, stood on her tiptoes to look outside, and then her eyebrows twisted deeper.
The person outside was not a hotel attendant, nor a drunken man, nor Giorgio, it was Mirlinda.
How did she get here?
Curious, Anna opened the door.
"Miss Greco, you..."
"Slap!" Before she could finish, a slap landed heavily on her face.
The force was so great that the sound echoed through the air. Anna's face was turned to the side, a handprint immediately appearing on her clear face, burning with pain.
Her mind went blank, and she felt dizzy. It took a full two seconds for her to come to her senses, looking at the angry, beautiful woman at the door.
"Miss Greco, what are you doing coming here in the middle of the night causing a scene?"
"I'm crazy?" Mirlinda scoffed, "You're having an affair with a woman's husband while she's pregnant; you're the crazy one! You're a morally corrupt, shameless person!"
Pregnant? Having an affair? What was she talking about?
Could it be Katherine? But Katherine couldn't possibly be pregnant.
"Heh, that confused, helpless look, who are you putting on a show for? Unfortunately, Simon isn't here to see your performance, so put away your pretentious acting." Mirlinda mocked again, directly stating, "Now, I'm ordering you as Mrs. Dalio, get out of Simon's world immediately. Never appear in front of Simon again!"
Mrs. Dalio.
This made Anna's eyes pop. "What... what did you say? You and Simon are married?"
That was impossible, Simon didn't tell her, and knowing Simon's character, he would never do such a thing.
Yet, Mirlinda directly took out a marriage certificate, looking at Anna haughtily, "Yes, we got married more than half a month ago. This is our marriage certificate and the pregnancy test report!"
Two documents were presented before her eyes, on the marriage certificate, in black and white, it was indeed Simon! The photo next to it was also Simon!
And the other pregnancy test report, it was real!
Mirlinda was really pregnant, and she was married to Simon!
Anna's mind was a mix of emotions, repeatedly flashing back to the scene of seeing Mirlinda and Simon together at the wedding, she must have been pregnant then!
And several times Simon said he had something to tell her after he got back, it must be about this! No wonder he seemed off the last couple of times they met!
Perhaps, she understood, it must have been that accident. Mirlinda got pregnant, and Simon, being such a kind and gentle man, couldn't bear to hurt others, hurt the child, and thus married Mirlinda.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say about this.
But, it was undeniable that Simon acknowledged the child and was willing to marry Mirlinda, so she was now legally recognized as Mrs. Dalio.
She took a deep breath and adjusted her thoughts.
"Miss Greco, I'm sorry. This is what I'm saying to you from a legal standpoint.
But whether you believe it or not, Simon and I have not done anything immoral, Simon is not that kind of person. He came here tonight just to arrange accommodation for me, then left. You were able to find this place, so you probably know the truth.
Also, Simon has been wanting to tell me about this, and he probably hasn't found the right opportunity. I didn't know you were pregnant and married to him.
Don't worry, now that I know, I won't have any emotional entanglement with Simon, and I will handle our relationship properly."
Listening to her solemn words, Mirlinda sneered.
"Then leave now!"
What?
Leave now?
