Chapter 538 Any Test, Prefer Liking
Giorgio continued, "The first night at the villa, my grandmother's condition worsened, so I stayed late. It wasn't intentional that I didn't answer your call. As for the news about you and Giuseppe that night."
The heavy tone indicated his anger at the time.
So, he thought her coldness and distance were because of Giuseppe?
Anna retorted, "If there was something between him and me, I wouldn't have brought you a late-night snack the next day."
Speaking of that, she suddenly realized something and said, "So because of what happened the night before, you saw me in his office and misunderstood again? Got angry directly?"
Giorgio remained silent for a while.
Then he said, "You never explained, nor did you throw a tantrum, just stayed aloof. How do you think I should have felt?"
Anna explained, "I was deliberately suppressing it, knowing there was nothing between you and her, not wanting to make a fuss."
The result of not making a fuss was even worse.
"I've said before, if there's a problem, you can bring it up with me. Besides, isn't it normal for a girlfriend to be jealous and throw a tantrum?" Giorgio's calm voice seemed to suggest that no matter how much Anna acted up, he could tolerate it.
Anna's heart skipped a beat, and her nose tingled.
She didn't want to throw a tantrum, but his pampering and indulgence made her feel that all her previous suppression and grievances were in vain.
Moreover, it made her seem petty and jealous.
She sniffed and said nothing.
For a moment, the air was incredibly quiet.
Neither of them had expected that their misunderstandings had led to the conflict. It was also because neither of them had clarified things that such a big misunderstanding occurred.
Finally, Giorgio calmly apologized, "It was my fault for not handling things well and getting angry without understanding the reason. I'm sorry."
Anna clenched her palms. Actually, it wasn't entirely his fault.
It was normal for him to consider Viviana, just as she had considered Elodie and thought about letting him go. Besides, he had never thought of letting go and had tried every way to make her legitimate.
Afterward, it was also her mishandling, appearing not to throw a tantrum but actually being cold, which was worse than throwing a tantrum.
In the end, when he got angry, she directly suggested breaking up, and they parted on bad terms.
After sorting out her thoughts, Anna bit her lip and said, "I was wrong too, it's not your fault."
Giorgio rubbed her head and held her tighter. "You did nothing wrong. Will you take the necklace back? I'll make it up to you, okay?" he said with a pampering, gentle, pleading tone.
Anna's heart softened with his voice.
After a while, she said, "It's already too late."
Giorgio raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? What's too late?"
Then he thought of the last incident, and his breath became heavy. "Did you make another agreement with Giuseppe or some other man? If you dare say yes, I'll kill you right here and see what's in your head, believe it or not?" Giorgio squeezed the words out from his lips.
The phrase 'kill you' didn't mean literally killing but something else, like in bed.
Even his words were out of anger and frustration, hating that Anna's reaction was out of his expectation.
Anna quickly said, "No, I didn't make a bet with any other man. I pushed you away."
With that, she took out her phone.
On the phone screen was that Instagram post, which had now become a hot topic.
#Lola 100Points#
[Lola used her mother's account to answer the test questions, scoring 100 ]points. Because of the backlash, she hid her ranking.
[If her mother hadn't found Anna, she wouldn't have revealed the matter.]
[So, according to the rules, Lola should directly date Mr. Vittorio for three months. What do you all think?]
Netizens began to comment.
[We didn't strip her of her qualification.]
[Well-deserved, I support Lola!]
[Agree to follow the rules!]
#AnnaForfeits#
[Anna, who scored 99 points and got the chance to interview and date Mr. Vittorio, chose to forfeit after getting Mrs. Davis's answers.]
[It seems she is very magnanimous, discerning right from wrong, and didn't climb up because of it. For this, a thumbs up!]
[A thousand likes!]
[She's really different from what I imagined. If it were me, I wouldn't give up! Who can resist Mr. Vittorio's charm?]
[Regardless of her character, this move is commendable!]
#VivianaApprovesGranddaughter-in-law#
Then, Viviana reposted the two trending news articles, her response was:
[I said I respect the fairness and justice of the app. Lola is also an excellent child, and I like her very much. I hope to see her marry Giorgio in my lifetime]
[Also, thank you, Miss Stefanelli, for discerning right from wrong. Thank you.]
The three trending topics directly settled the matter, and almost the whole world recognized Lola as the most suitable and legitimate choice.
After reading, Giorgio's mouth twitched in anger, his gaze at Anna was extremely cold and indifferent. "Your move ruined everything for me. It would have been better to sign a love contract with Giuseppe."
Anna guessed he was very angry, after all, his well-planned scheme was ruined by her.
But she didn't regret it.
She said, "Rules are rules, and Lola does understand you better than I do. Maybe she's more suitable for you."
Her words made Giorgio, who was already angry, even more somber. "Say that again?"
He was really frustrated! She still didn't realize her mistake and was adding insult to injury!
Giorgio really felt like 'killing' her.
Anna quickly explained, "Don't you think so?
She can stand with you at work, she's so capable, and she even has the same taste as you, drinking the same kind of wine. She got all those questions right. Do you know what that means? It means she really matches you."
Talking about these things, her tone was self-deprecating and jealous. She only blamed herself for not doing as well and not having so many common interests with Giorgio.
Giorgio looked at her disappointed face, not knowing whether to be angry that she was trying to match him with Lola or to laugh at how jealous she was.
Naturally, it was more of the latter.
He calmed his anger and said softly, "Anna, love isn't a multiple-choice question or an arithmetic problem with fixed answers. In my view, no amount of compatibility or suitability compares to liking."
He meant he only liked her.
Anna's heart trembled violently.
The bitter lake's surface seemed to suddenly have honey dropped into it, creating ripples of sweetness and beauty.
She looked at him. "So what do we do now?"
Giorgio said, "Scared now? You should have thought it through earlier."
Anna retorted, "Are you adding insult to injury or feeling smug?"
"No." Giorgio couldn't bear to tease her any longer, holding her slender body, saying, "I'll deal with it."
Anna instinctively believed he had a way to fix it.
But, for some reason, thinking of what Mia said, she felt guilty towards Mia and sorry for Lola.
And this game, the result should have benefited Lola.
She said, "Giorgio, how about this?"
