Chapter 422 The Clever and Adorable Baby Steps In to Play Matchmaker
Anna thought, 'Interfere with Katherine and Giorgio. Let her be with Giorgio! What's all this?'
Anna fluttered her eyelashes, wanting to say, "No need."
But the little one ignored her and ran to the car.
Anna felt frustrated!
That day, Giorgio and Katherine boarded a plane to Corystania.
In first class, Charlie nestled in Giorgio's arms, soft and clingy.
"Daddy, the sky is so blue. Do you think we'll see stars tonight? Auntie Anna's eyes are like stars, very beautiful."
He didn't want to hear about Anna right now.
"See for yourself later."
"Daddy, you're so mean," Charlie complained, then quietly asked, "Did Auntie Anna make you angry? A man should be magnanimous. Don't get angry with a woman; it's petty."
"Charlie, you talk too much."
But something crossed his mind, and he stared at him suspiciously.
"Did she tell you I was angry?" She made the child a messenger.
Charlie knew his dad too well.
He quickly nodded.
"Yeah, I didn't want to come. It would've been better to stay home with Penny. But Auntie Anna said she minded you and Katherine having alone time and asked me to keep an eye on you. She also asked me to apologize; she didn't mean it."
Mind it? She used to matchmake them every day.
Didn't mean it? She clearly did it on purpose, not even trusting his basic feelings.
Giorgio coldly said, "If you don't want me to strap a parachute on your back and throw you out of the plane, shut up and don't mention her."
He was so cruel!
Charlie was a bit scared but didn't miss the slight softening of his dad's lips. He hugged him, leaned against his cool chest, and whispered, "I won't say anything else. I've delivered the message."
He closed his eyes and obediently fell asleep.
The little one curled up in his arms like a kitten.
Giorgio couldn't help but think of Anna the night she got drunk and the night she was tricked by the driver, also clingy and lovable. His heartstrings trembled.
'Damn it. Don't reminisce now,' he thought.
"Giorgio."
Katherine walked over, wanting to give Giorgio the previous recording.
"Is Charlie asleep?"
Giorgio coldly said, "Not yet, what's up?"
"Nothing, just checking in. I've arranged the presidential suite at the hotel. If you're not satisfied, we can change it tomorrow."
"Okay."
Giorgio didn't have much to say.
Katherine avoided the awkwardness and returned to her seat.
Now that Giorgio was ignoring Anna, it was her best chance.
She just needed to perform well, then make love to him and get pregnant.
At night, the weather was great.
Through the glass, you could see the sky outside, countless stars, vast and boundless.
Seeing stars above the clouds was particularly beautiful and breathtaking. Just like Anna's eyes, starry, clean, and bright. Indeed, as Charlie said, as beautiful as the stars.
Realizing he was thinking about Anna again, Giorgio irritably looked away, lifted his hand, and rubbed his brow.
He could spoil her, and he could wait for her.
But he wouldn't allow her to trample on his feelings.
Sixteen hours later, the plane landed, and they arrived at a high-end hotel.
"Wow, such a big bed. Daddy, I'll sleep in this room with you."
Charlie dragged his suitcase inside and said to Katherine, "The other room is smaller, more suitable for you alone."
Sure enough, he shouldn't have brought Charlie.
But she never expected to sleep with Giorgio; that would only backfire. She gently said, "Okay, I'll help you guys unpack."
"No need, I'm very independent, thank you."
Charlie quickly dragged his suitcase to the wardrobe and started organizing.
Katherine, helpless, could only say to call her if needed and then turned to leave.
Charlie smiled at the noble and cold Giorgio.
"Daddy, the wardrobe is really high. Can you hang the clothes?"
Charlie was a little troublemaker.
Giorgio didn't want to fuss over such a small matter and walked over to organize the clothes.
He didn't know that behind him, Charlie quickly took out his phone, snapped some photos, and recorded a video of the room, sending it to Anna.
Charlie: [Auntie Anna, we’ve arrived in Corystania. First update: Daddy refused to share a room with Ms. Stefanelli and refused to let her organize his clothes. Daddy also said the stars looked like your eyes, very beautiful.]
Thousands of miles away, back home.
Anna checked the message, her eyes falling on Giorgio’s slender and noble figure.
He was indeed organizing clothes, and even in daily life, he exuded an inherent elegance.
But saying her eyes were as beautiful as the stars? No need to think to know it was Charlie’s mischief.
She replied: [Charlie, you must be tired after such a long flight. Get some rest. Thank you. But you don’t need to report these things to me. Your daddy and I have nothing to do with each other anymore; it’s over.]
Charlie didn’t believe it. They were clearly very good together before. If it weren’t for the fight, they would have had a baby by now.
He comforted: [Auntie Anna, Daddy is arrogant. He won’t say a lot of things. He’s just angry now. Once he’s over it, or if you take the initiative, things will be fine. Don’t worry. I’m going to sleep now.]
Even if she took the initiative, Giorgio wouldn’t treat her the same as before.
Moreover, things between her and him weren’t that simple.
On Charlie’s side, he glanced at Giorgio, who was taking a shower, and his little fingers quickly typed on the phone, deleting certain messages, and placed it on the cabinet.
Then, he went to bed.
Twenty minutes later, the phone alarm rang.
Giorgio came out of the bathroom. He walked over and turned it off.
Unexpectedly, the screen unlocked automatically, showing the chat page: [Auntie Anna, we’ve arrived in Corystania. First update: Daddy refused to share a room with Ms. Stefanelli and refused to let her organize his clothes.]
[Charlie, you must be tired after such a long flight. Get some rest. Thank you.]
Giorgio stared at the screen, his dark eyes flashing with complexity.
He didn’t expect Anna to really have Charlie gather information.
She thought this would make him forgive her. No way.
Giorgio closed Charlie’s phone and went to the computer room to organize materials.
He was cold and unapproachable.
At home, it was still daytime.
Anna accompanied Giuseppe to see the doctor.
The doctor’s suggestion was to start from the heart, let him see more beautiful things, and discover that there is still love in the world. At the same time, he should also see the harsh competition and darkness, to see through the coldness of human nature. Only this way, his heart could be at peace.
In short, it wasn’t something that could be treated with medication.
This wasn’t good news for Anna.
After all, if Giuseppe didn’t recover, he might have a vengeful mentality.
She found the doctor and asked, "For this type of illness, can it be treated with a blood transfusion that can cure any disease?"
The doctor was extremely surprised.
"You know about that blood? But the hope is slim, that blood only treats diseases, not psychological issues. Don’t think about it."
Anna was disappointed.
She walked out of the hospital.
"Did you just talk to the doctor? What did you ask?" Giuseppe inquired.
Anna didn’t want him to know she was eager to cure his illness, so she lightly said, "Nothing, just some precautions."
As she finished speaking, her phone rang.
"I’ll take this call."
Anna took the opportunity to change the topic and took out her phone.
To her surprise, the caller ID showed—Giorgio?
