Chapter 371 Panic and Helplessness
Anna felt panic and helpless, like stones thrown into a lake, creating ripples one after another.
When she first heard the prison guard say those words, it felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, making it hard to breathe, utterly despairing.
After being released, she stayed away from him and loathed him.
At this moment, knowing the truth, she felt happy and relieved, like withered grass slowly taking root and sprouting again.
She didn't know why she had such strong emotions toward him.
Unable to face these emotions directly, Anna changed the subject.
"Don't treat Katherine like that, she helped reduce my sentence. She didn't tell you because she thought it would have a bad impact, she wanted to keep it from you for me."
At this moment, did she still have the mind to mention Katherine?
Giorgio couldn't understand Anna. Locking his gaze on her delicate face, he asked
"Are you still angry?"
His voice was very gentle, mature, and steady, like a man doting and indulging his girlfriend.
Anna's heartbeat accelerated once again.
But indeed, she had misunderstood him.
She took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and said, "I'm not angry anymore.
I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Misunderstanding.
Her misunderstanding of him had caused him great pain during this time.
Giorgio smiled helplessly yet dotingly, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
Unlike before, this time, his kiss was very light, but very deep.
Anna felt like she was electrocuted all over, pushing him away.
"Giorgio, don't do this."
"Why?" Giorgio's doubtful gaze fixed on her.
He thought she hadn't completely let go and gently said, "You misunderstood me for so long, aren't you going to make it up to me, make me happy for a bit? Or are you still angry with me? Should I let you bite me again?"
He raised his hand, showing a very obvious bite mark.
It was from that night when Anna bit him.
She felt embarrassed and awkward.
Thinking carefully, he didn't have the obligation or responsibility to save her. Why was she so agitated toward him?
She gently pushed him.
"No, I'm sorry, I have to go see Penny off."
Giorgio looked at his watch and said, "It's nine in the morning, Penny and Charlie have already been taken to school by Tony."
Uh...
"I have work." Anna found another excuse.
Giorgio looked at her panicked and helpless body, no longer having the desire to kiss her. His emotions calmed down.
He let go of her and got out of bed
"Go take a shower and change your clothes."
He wanted her to take a shower now?
Early in the morning?
In a hotel room with just the two of them?
Anna was about to refuse when Giorgio's voice came first.
"You were drunk all night, you smell like alcohol. Are you sure you want to go to work like this?"
At his words, Anna suddenly realized she smelled like alcohol.
Which meant she didn't shower last night, didn't change her clothes, and he didn't do anything to her.
He just held her drunk self and slept purely for one night?
This fact made Anna's opinion of him improve a bit more, and she quickly ran into the bathroom.
Warm water poured down from above.
Anna's mind gradually cleared, but her mood became more and more complicated.
She had misunderstood Giorgio.
In her mind, she subconsciously recalled the anger during this time, now realizing that these emotions were meaningless because those things didn't exist, she laughed at herself.
It turned out she wasn't so worthless to him.
She wasn't so insignificant.
In her mind, Giorgio's words from last night echoed. “Yes, I was jealous.”
At that time, she was only angry.
Now that the misunderstanding was cleared, thinking back, she felt more awkward.
High and mighty, perfect him, was jealous for her, could it be...
He liked her?
"Clothes."
A man's magnetic voice came from the door.
Anna came back to her senses, turned off the water, wrapped herself in a towel, walked over, and opened a crack, extending her arm
"Thank you."
The air was filled with the scent of a woman and the fragrance of shower gel.
Giorgio's gaze fell on her slender arm, which looked like it would break with a little force. When he remebered Joe and the prison guard saying she hadn't eaten for days and nights, his eyes deepened
"I'll go to the second-floor restaurant and order breakfast. You come down after getting dressed."
"Okay." Anna listened to his footsteps leaving, lowered her head, and looked at the clothes in the bag.
From underwear to outerwear, everything was there.
Such a gentle and thoughtful him made her heartbeat accelerate again.
Afterward, how should she face him?
At the restaurant, Giorgio's phone rang countless times, all from Katherine.
He directly turned off the phone, took the menu, and elegantly ordered several nutritious breakfasts.
Fifteen minutes later, breakfast was served, just as Anna walked over.
She was in a pair of jeans, a white hoodie, looking very young and lively.
Most importantly, those clothes were bought with his money. Giorgio was in a good mood.
"Eat more."
Anna always felt he was too gentle at this moment.
She averted her gaze, sat down, and lowered her head to eat breakfast.
Strangely, when she hated him, she found everything about him unpleasant, wishing to stay far away from him.
But after the misunderstanding was cleared, she felt he was like the wind in the mountains, gentle and comfortable.
He was like the warm sun in winter, warm and charming.
He was like a swamp full of sunlight and flowers. Once she fell in, she couldn't get out.
What was wrong with her?
Even if he wasn't so cold to her, it was just a misunderstanding. He was still Katherine's husband.
Anna quickly finished eating and looked at Giorgio.
She found he hadn't eaten at all, just staring deeply at her.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you eating?"
Giorgio took a napkin with his long fingers, reached over, and wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth extremely gently.
Then, he said, "I'm waiting for you to make things clear, then see if I have the appetite to eat."
He meant...
Anna didn't dare to think, pretending not to understand his meaning.
"What? Do we still have something unclear? Didn't I apologize to you?"
Giorgio's expression darkened, raising his voice. "Anna, don't play dumb, you know what I mean."
Even when he was angry, he was so charming.
But, there were still many obstacles between them.
Anna bit her dry lips and smiled.
"Giorgio, what are you talking about? I really don't understand. I remember what happened last night. Thank you for saving me."
Giorgio looked at her pretending to be confused and directly getting to the point.
"What is your relationship with Giuseppe? No matter what it is, you end it with him today.” He domineeringly gave the order.
Anna was stunned. "Why? How can you decide whether I'm with him or not?"
No matter what, Giuseppe saving her was true.
Besides, she didn't like his domineering attitude.
Giorgio looked at her opposing expression, raising his eyebrows.
"So, you truly care for him?"
"No, I just promised to date him for six months," Anna blurted out.
After saying it, she realized she had told him the truth, quickly adding, "Although we are dating as a deal, we are also trying to fall in love, seriously dating, and trying to get married."
The more she explained, the more she felt something was wrong!
Why did she explain so clearly to him?
Giorgio, however, smiled.
His smile was very attractive.
He got up, walked around the table, and sat next to her
"I understand your thoughts. Don't worry. Making that choice in that situation is understandable, and I don't blame you."
She didn't understand what he meant.
Why would he blame her for her relationship with Giuseppe?
Anna wanted to say something.
Giorgio held her hand, commanding, "But from now on, you are not allowed to contact him or have any relationship with him."
