Chapter 381 Is Anna Pregnant?
Anna's face turned pale as she stood frozen awkwardly in the wardrobe. She had simply asked him for a small favor! If Katherine were to catch her, it would be difficult to explain. Helping her cover it up would save them both a lot of trouble. Why wouldn't he assist her over such trivial concerns?
"Giorgio."
Outside, Katherine's voice sounded.
She had no time left!
"Please, do me this favor," Anna said, not waiting for his response, and closed the wardrobe door.
Her movements were as quick as a fox.
Giorgio smirked, staring at the corner of her white shirt peeking out, his eyes deep and contemplative.
"Giorgio? Are you here?" Katherine walked in.
She was adorned in a rare light purple suit, exuding elegance and nobility, radiating beauty and authority. It was evident that she had put a lot of thought into her outfit. Giorgio remained impassive, his tall stature subtly obstructing Anna's view.
"Have you thought about your wording?"
He was referring to the divorce wording.
Katherine's beautiful face stiffened, forcing a smile
“Giorgio, I don't want to end our marriage. I'm here to tell you that. From the time I got pregnant until we got married, you never once considered leaving me, right? It's because of Anna. Her presence has made you unsure. Do you have feelings for her, or is it just a passing fancy? Perhaps you're not even sure yourself. I am willing to wait until our grandmother passes away. If you still want to divorce me at that time, then we will proceed with it. However, the condition is that the woman you marry must be Anna, and she must also be willing to marry you. Otherwise, I will not agree to it.”
She was proud and beautiful.She had her own charm and dignity.
Giorgio had some affection for Katherine after all. At the very least, she was Charlie's mother.
Her concession surprised him a bit.
"I've said before, my divorce from you has nothing to do with Anna. You don't need to find excuses to delay."
Katherine gazed at him and calmly stated, "This isn't an excuse. I care about you deeply and only want to see you happy. If being with someone else will bring you joy, I'm willing to get a divorce. Giorgio, let's do this. Tomorrow, we'll head to the resort. We'll need to put on a show of intimacy and make sure Grandma doesn't catch on to anything.”
After uttering those threatening words, she smiled faintly and walked away. Despite her words, she displayed a humble demeanor.
Anna found herself grappling with mixed emotions. It was evident that Katherine's love for Giorgio was unwavering. Katherine had made sacrifices comparable to any other woman's.
However, her love was directed towards Giorgio - a man endowed with skill and talent, yet emotionally distant and inconsistent. Loving him was bound to bring agony. Anna, on the other hand, was averse to enduring such heart-wrenching pain.
She took a deep breath. After confirming Katherine had completely left, gently pushed open the wardrobe door and walked out.
She saw Giorgio standing in the light, coldly adjusting his tie. She weakly said "I think Katherine made a good point. Maybe you should think it over?"
Giorgio turned, meeting Anna's persuasive gaze. He hated that she always tried to pair him with other women.
"Don’t worry about me, thanks."
His voice was extremely cold.
Anna was aware of Giorgio's aversion to outside influence on his choices, making it difficult to sway his decisions. However, the impending divorce directly involved her, creating a dilemma. She didn't want to disappoint Katherine, yet she also didn't want to inflict such severe pain on Giorgio.
"Giorgio, you should learn to be responsible. Since you had a sexual relationship with her, you should take full responsibility.”
“Even if you don't, think about Charlie, think about Viviana. With your grandmother's health, she can't take any shock."
Giorgio knew all this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have maintained a superficial marriage with Katherine for three years.
His handsome face showed a hint of anger
"Do you need to teach me how to be a person?
“Have you finished? You’d better leave before I get angry.”
Once he got angry, his actions may be uncontrollable!
Anna's complexion paled. She didn't dare challenge his authority, and she had already presented her suggestion as delicately as possible.
Hastily, she grabbed one of his suits, draped it around herself, and made a swift exit. Even after her departure, the atmosphere in the office remained tense.
Giorgio raised a slender hand to his temples, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window with a view of Crownhaven outside.
His imposing figure resembled that of a solitary and aloof eagle in the sky. Tony, observing from the corner, let out a sympathetic sigh.
While ordinary people only needed to consider their feelings for each other in matters of marriage and divorce, for someone in Giorgio's esteemed position, who appeared to have everything, his marriage couldn't align with his true desires.
The following evening arrived, the day they were scheduled to depart for Silvershore Valley as a group.
Anna had no desire to go, and she even had Lucia try to reach Giuseppe, but to no avail. Due to a favor she owed, she had no other option but to join them.
Since mountain tourism was considered risky, Penny and Charlie were left behind. Tom and the butler, Benjamin, were looking after them at home.
Seated on the plane, Anna gazed out at the sky, feeling discontent.
“Anna? It's been a while! Why are you sitting here?" Beatrice approached Anna with a warm smile, exuding a pure and friendly demeanor.
She was the only member of the Vittorio family who still retained a kind heart. Anna had a fondness for her.
Sitting beside her, Giuseppe chimed in, "Beatrice, she's not Giorgio's wife. She's my girlfriend."
Anna was taken aback - his girlfriend?
Since when did Katherine become his girlfriend?
Beatrice wanted to hit Giuseppe, but Katherine's voice rang out, "Beatrice, I'm over here."
Beatrice looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman who looked exactly like Katherine, only more dignified.
"Sis-in-law, what's going on? How can someone look exactly like you?"
Katherine took her hand and said softly
“You've been holed up in that old school for too long and seem out of touch with current events. It's time to dedicate some hours to brushing up on your knowledge.”
"Alright!" Beatrice sat down and quietly started browsing the news.
Half an hour later, she excitedly said, "Twins! That's amazing!”
“I never thought Giorgio and Giuseppe could both marry a pair of twins. How lucky!”
“Grandma, if Katherine or Anna has a baby, it would be great if they had twins or a boy and a girl!"
Twins have a genetic predisposition to have twins.
Viviana exclaimed with joy, "Katherine, Giorgio, you should hurry with your plans. I might not be around to witness it, but just seeing Katherine's pregnancy ultrasound would bring me immense happiness.”
"Grandma, don't say that. You'll definitely see it," Katherine said and gently.
Giorgio sat in silence, while suddenly a loud retching sound echoed through the room, catching everyone's attention.
All eyes turned to Anna, who stood up, covering her mouth, and hurriedly made her way to the bathroom.
Her panicked and anxious expression made it clear that she was about to be sick.
“Was I right? Is Anna actually pregnant?" Beatrice pondered aloud. The atmosphere became tense. Despite any reservations the elders may have had about Anna, if she were indeed expecting, it would be a cause for celebration.
However, Giuseppe's eyes narrowed behind his gold-rimmed glasses, devoid of any joy. He realized that he had never been intimate with Anna.
On the night in question, he had been drunk in the car, and nothing had actually occurred between them.
Confusion clouded his thoughts as he questioned how Anna could be pregnant.
Casting a suspicious glance, Giuseppe pondered the situation.
Meanwhile, Giorgio, with a deep and intense gaze, followed Anna's departure.
The thought crossed his mind. ‘She's pregnant? With Giuseppe's child?’
