Chapter 270 Mr. Vittorio Keeps the Home Fires Burning
Inside the car sat Katherine and Giorgio.
Last night, she had planned to use an aphrodisiac to get something going with Giorgio, but to her surprise, it had no effect on him. She wasn’t sure whether it was ineffective or expired.
Unexpectedly, after he carried her back to the Giorgio mansion, he was unusually tender, removing her shoes and covering her with a blanket.
Perhaps it was just a gentleman's care, but his gentleness was lethal.
She had to be with him.
Therefore, she got up early this morning to make breakfast and insisted on accompanying him to deliver snacks to Charlie.
As long as she won Charlie over, it wouldn't be difficult for the three of them to be together as a family.
"Huh, isn't that Miss Stefanelli?" Little Tony suddenly spoke up.
Both of them looked up to see a woman standing by the roadside, constantly looking around with anticipation.
Despite wearing a mask, anyone familiar with her could recognize her at a glance. It was Anna. What was she doing here so early?
Giorgio's gaze darkened slightly, and Katherine's palms tightened. This woman appeared in front of them again, like a persistent ghost!
"Giorgio, I'll get out of the car to say hello to my sister and chat with her," she said, her tone seemingly innocent, like a casual encounter between sisters.
She got out of the car and walked up to Anna, "Hi, we haven't seen each other in a few days. I didn't expect to see you again today."
Facing Anna, her voice sounded friendly and polite, but it was hiding something sinister.
Anna looked at Katherine, slightly surprised, then responded curtly, "Indeed, it's a coincidence. But unfortunately, I was here first. If anyone is deliberately showing up, it's you looking for trouble."
Katherine's face stiffened slightly. She had always thought that Anna, who grew up in the countryside, would be timid, weak, and unsophisticated. But from the beginning, she had exceeded her expectations.
Anna was beautiful, clean, lively, and articulate, like a white rose with thorns. She couldn't take advantage of her at all.
Thinking of something, she said, "Charlie goes to this school; Giorgio and I came to bring him some snacks. Don't worry, I'm treating Charlie very well now, as if he were my own son. Otherwise, I wouldn't only sleep a few hours last night because of Giorgio, and I even got up early this morning to make breakfast."
Her attitude was serious and earnest. But the phrase 'only sleep a few hours because of Giorgio' was too coquettish and shy.
Anna naturally heard the implication in her tone, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Katherine. She saw that Katherine's skin was fair and her lips were red; she looked great, and her slender hand deliberately tugged at the collar of her clothes.
Remembering the scene she had witnessed last night, her heart was inexplicably stabbed by something sharp, and she said, "That's good."
Katherine added, "Ah, why hasn't Charlie arrived yet? I'm not feeling well; I'm afraid I won't be able to work today; I need to rest at home."
Between the lines, she was subtly boasting about her intimate relationship with Giorgio. Anna heard it all.
They were husband and wife, so it was normal for them to live a happy marital life; it had nothing to do with her.
Yes, nothing at all!
She said, "Then you should go back and rest. If you're really not feeling well, you can spend some money to get a massage."
Then, she turned around and walked away indifferently. Katherine was frustrated.
She had made it so obvious, so why was there no change in Anna's expression? Was she not bothered at all?
This feeling of being ignored mad her seem like a clown. It was terrible!
"Honk!" The car horn sounded. A car pulled over to the side of the road.
A little boy in a white shirt and black casual pants got out. He was handsome and pleasing to the eye. It was Charlie.
Katherine was about to walk over with a smile when Charlie reached out and helped another little girl out of the car.
The little girl was dressed in a princess dress, and her black hair was tied up in a bun, with cute flat bangs hanging over her forehead.
Underneath the bangs, her face was as delicate and cute as porcelain, even more adorable than a doll.
Penny!
Anna's daughter!
Why was she with Charlie?!
Katherine's palms trembled almost imperceptibly with fear, terror, and speculation.
Giorgio had already gotten out of the car and walked over to the two children, greeting them in a very gentle tone. This action surprised Katherine even more.
"Giorgio, this... this..." Giorgio assumed she was curious about Penny, so he lightly said, "Anna's foster sister's daughter; haven't you seen her before?"
Back at Vista Heights, at the KTV dinner, Penny was there.
So, he still hadn't realized who Penny actually was and just believed what Anna had fabricated?
Katherine breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Yes, I know. I'm just surprised that they get along so well. Does Penny also attend this school?"
"Yes, I'm in the same class as Charlie!" Penny innocently replied.
Katherine's hand tightened in secret.
This Anna... She was acting indifferent on the surface but was actually letting her daughter get close to Charlie and Giorgio.
Shameless!
Suppressing her anger, she handed over the snacks she had prepared in the morning, "Then you two eat together, get along well."
"Okay."
Katherine crouched down and spoke to Charlie in a friendly tone, "Take care of the girl and study hard."
Charlie replied when it came to Penny, "I don't need you to tell me that, I know." Then, holding Penny's hand, he walked towards the school.
While looking at the two small figures, Katherine began to feel uneasy.
If Charlie or Giorgio found out who Penny actually was, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Giorgio, you have important work at the company today, right? You go ahead. I have some things to do; I'll have my agent pick me up."
"Okay." Giorgio was naturally willing.
He turned around, ready to leave with his usual aloof demeanor.
"Wait." Katherine suddenly called out, walked up to him, and adjusted his tie, "Come home early tonight; we'll go to the Vittorio mansion together to be with Charlie and see Grandma."
Her movements were intimate, and her voice was gentle, but she also moved a bit quickly. Before Giorgio could speak, she had already withdrawn her hand.
There was no need for further reproach, he coldly said, "Don't touch my clothes again." Then, he left in his high and cold manner.
Katherine was slightly angry. Was he so resistant to her adjusting his clothes in public now? She didn't show her emotions; instead, she kept smiling and waved goodbye to Giorgio. They looked very loving and sweet.
Around the corner, Anna watched the scene with indescribable emotions on her face. She was worried about Penny, so she stayed here to observe the situation. Seeing that Penny was able to arrive at school safely, it seemed like everything was fine.
When she saw Katherine and Giorgio act so lovingly, she didn't know whether to laugh or to scoff.
She was laughing because if Giorgio and Katherine were so close, Katherine probably wouldn't bother her anymore, reducing her troubles.
She was scoffing because Giorgio could maintain a relationship with Katherine while showing affectionate attitudes towards Edith, his secretary, and even herself. He was keeping the home fires burning while playing the field.
Ah, men.
