Chapter 382 A Speculation Desired
In the bathroom, Anna vomited up everything he had eaten that night. She felt terrible now. She turned on the faucet, rinsed her mouth, and washed her face.
A knock on the door sounded.
"It's me." Giuseppe's voice was polite but heavy.
Anna turned around and opened the bathroom door.
Giuseppe, with his slender figure, stepped inside, closing the door behind him and pushing her against the wall.
Anna's back hit the wall, feeling painful.
"Mr. Vittorio? What's wrong with you?"
"What do you think?" Giuseppe stared at her, his eyes furious and red.
The usual refined and elegant Giuseppe would not appear in such a furious state.
He raised his hand and grabbed her neck.
"Did I rescue you for allowing you have an affair with Uncle Giorgio. Even if you don't like me, you are my girlfriend in name. You get pregnant with his child in my name. Do you think that's fair to me?"
Anna's neck hurt. She was almost out of breath..
She realized that he must have believed Beatrice's words, thinking she was really pregnant!
"No, Mr. Vittorio, let me go..." She struggled to speak, pushing his hands away.
Giuseppe's grip on her hand became even tighter, saying, "Anna, do you think I have no temper? After you got off the plane, you must go to the hospital and abort the baby!"
Anna's throat was in intense pain. If he continued to grip her, she would suffocate.
She lifted her foot and kicked Giuseppe's leg hard, which hit his leg bone directly. Giuseppe finally let her go. Anna gasped for fresh air, holding her sore neck, coughing violently for three seconds before regaining her composure.
She didn't understand how Giuseppe could have misunderstood her, but she had to make it clear, "Mr. Vittorio, I'm not pregnant. I just felt dizzy after getting off the plane. Giorgio and I didn't have sex!"
She didn't want to be misunderstood, especially about her relationship with Uncle Giorgio.
Giuseppe looked puzzled, his gaze suspicious, saying, "No intimate relationship? Weren't you taken away by him that night?"
Anna was speechless. The kiss from Giorgio that morning was irresistible.
Anna bit her lip and said, "I went to the bar, got drunk, got into trouble, and Giorgio brought me back. Nothing happened between us. Besides, it's only been a few days. Can I get pregnant immediately? Have you madeconclusions without thinking?"
She thought Giuseppe was foolish enough.
Giuseppe's mouth twitched harshly,"Who knows what you and Uncle Giorgio did before? You pretended to be Katherine, and you even went on a trip with him to the mountains. Did you really not have sex?"
Anna recalled that past, realizing that she couldn't be completely calm, but getting pregnant was impossible.
Back in Crownhaven, they had made love once, but she was on birth control.
She looked him straight in the eye, "Yes, during and after I pretended to be Katherine, butdidn't have sex. He is Katherine's husband, and I am her sister. I am more aware of boundaries than anyone else. Mr. Vittorio, please go out. I need some time alone."
After hearing her explanation, Giuseppe chose to believe her. Surprisingly, he was pleased that Giorgio and Anna hadn't been intimate. This made him even more eager to have sex with her.
"Sorry, I misunderstood you this time. But you are usually very close to Uncle Giorgio. I think you should keep your distance from him."
With that, he left.
The air quieted down. Anna took a deep breath, trying to feel relieved. Unexpectedly, in the mirror, she saw Giorgio's elegant figure.
'Why did he come in at this moment?' She thought.
Thinking about how she almost got suffocated because of him, she quickly turned around, stepping back firmly.
"Giorgio, I'm not pregnant. So the child is not yours, nor Giuseppe's. Please don't ask about it anymore."
Giorgio's beautiful eyes narrowed, a hint of understanding passing through, saying, "Are you sure? Are you a doctor?"
His confident words seemed to assume she was really pregnant.
Anna retorted, "Do I not know my own body? I took medication back in Crownhaven, and I have had my period since then. I'm very sure. After that, we didn't have sex. Neither with Giuseppe. Where do you think the child could come from?"
Her challenging manner was clever and sly.
Giorgio noticed her youthful spirit and pride, unwilling to be on the losing end of an argument.
Once again, he caught a crucial piece of information, raising an eyebrow, saying,"You and Giuseppe never made love?"
In that moment, Anna was stunned and speechless. She was so focused on explaining the pregnancy issue that she forgot about this!
Giorgio stared straight at her, his eyes like the deep sea, full of complexity.
Just outside, he had heard Giuseppe's conversation with her and knew she wasn't pregnant. To Giorgio's surprise, Giuseppe was initially angry, questioning Anna and assuming the child was his, as if Giuseppe had no involvement. But now, Anna said she never had sex with Giuseppe. A speculation arose in his mind.
Anna felt guilty under his gaze, and after a while, she finally found a reason to explain, "I meant that Giuseppe and I didn't plan on getting pregnant. We used protection. What are you thinking? I have to go now, goodbye!"
Afraid of more questions, she quickly slipped away.
Giorgio's eyes dimmed, thinking, 'It also meant contraception.
'What was he thinking? What was he speculating?
'Wasn't the explosive video of her and Giuseppe'sintercourse online the best proof? '
Giorgio lowered his eyes, glanced at the bag of chips in his hand, and threw it in the trash.
At seven o'clock, a helicopter arrived at a famous hotel in the resort area. This hotel, unlike the luxurious five-star hotels in the city, had an ancient building nestled by the mountains and waters, with a unique style and beautiful scenery.
"Wow! I love this style and the scenery here so much." Beatrice happily took photos with her camera.
Viviana kindly said, "I've been to Silvershore Valley in Vista Heights, south of Shudiland before. The scenery there is truly beautiful, but it's far away. My body can't bear bumping all the way long, so I chose a closer location."
"This place is nice too. You can explore freely, settle in, have dinner, and rest early. We'll explore more tomorrow."
"Yes, grandma."
"Yes, grandmother."
Under the guidance of the manager, everyone went to their respective rooms. Anna noticed that Viviana had arranged for her and Giuseppe to stay in the same room. Although she had moved into Giuseppe's villa, they had separate rooms.
Now, while on this trip, if they were to stay in the same room, it would easily create an ambiguous atmosphere and lead to intimacy.
"Mr. Vittorio, I'll go and pay for another room."
Giuseppe unlocked the door, pushed the luggage inside, and looked at her, saying, "In this situation, if you get another room by yourself, do you think you can explain it? Plus, the resort requires advance booking, so there might not be any available rooms."
Anna hesitated, "So ..."
"What's wrong? You can sleep with Uncle Giorgio, but not with me? After all, I saved your life. It seems inappropriate to treat me with the same caution as a potential predator, does it?" Giuseppe asked meaningfully.
Anna didn't want any further contact with him due to his recent change in behavior.
Seeing her silence, Giuseppe said, "Don't worry. I promised not to trouble you. What I did that night was impulsive."
Upon hearing his words, Anna felt relieved.
In a way, he was quite a gentleman.
"I choose to believe you."
They was about to enter the room, when an unexpected figure walked by at this time.
"Change rooms!"
