Chapter 539 Take a Nap?
"I've already announced my withdrawal. You know your grandma can't accept me for now. If you insist, not only will everyone be hostile towards me, but it will also cause conflicts with your grandma. I think you should just date Lola on the surface for three months. After all, Lola did win," she spoke earnestly and calmly.
Hearing this, Giorgio squinted his eyes. "Is that really what you think?"
"Yes." Anna nodded. "Even though I don't want to, it's the truth."
Giorgio lowered his head and bit her lip. "That's more like it. I thought you were really that generous. Order some food. I have my own way to handle this."
Anna had no appetite. "I don't want to eat."
Giorgio said, "I haven't eaten much these past two days. Keep me company."
In the end, Anna accompanied Giorgio for a meal before they left the restaurant.
"Where to? I'll drive you." Giorgio asked while driving.
Anna looked at him, noticing the faint dark circles around his eyes. She realized that after their breakup, he couldn't take care of himself. Without thinking, she blurted out， "Are you going to be busy? How about taking a nap?"
Giorgio's hand paused on the steering wheel, his thoughts wandering for a moment.
After a while, he said, "Okay."
At that moment, Anna seemed to see a strange light in his eyes.
Ten minutes later, Anna and Giorgio arrived at the apartment.
As soon as they entered, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
Her heart started racing, finally understanding what that light in his eyes meant!
"Giorgio, wait, I didn't mean that kind of sleep. I meant you should rest for a while!" Anna explained.
"That's not important. What's important is what I want."
As Giorgio spoke, he picked her up and carried her to the master bedroom, placing her on the bed.
The apartment wasn't big; it was a temporary single apartment for resting. The bedroom wasn't spacious either, making the air feel even more pressing.
Anna's whole body tensed up, feeling like she was surrounded by cotton, soft and comfortable.
Yet it also felt like she was sinking into a swamp, deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself.
What was happening to her?
Why wasn't she pushing him away? Anna felt she lost herself.
Giorgio kissed Anna, making up for the days of longing, emptiness, and repression with fervor.
Just as he was about to take the next step, a phone ringtone abruptly broke the heated atmosphere.
He let go of her, took out his phone, and saw that the caller was Lola. The chaotic emotions in his eyes dissipated.
He had almost lost control just now.
But given the current situation, he couldn't give her a legitimate status yet.
"I need to take this call." Giorgio gently kissed her lips, got up, and went to the balcony to get some air.
Anna felt so embarrassed!
It wasn't the first time she realized she liked Giorgio's scent, but she had just lost herself a bit and got a bit carried away.
No, n, he was her boyfriend. It was normal to like him!
While comforting herself in her mind, Anna also wondered what to do next.
Were they really going to make love?
But should she refuse?
They had been together for so long, broken up and reconciled, and they genuinely liked each other. Would refusing be too pretentious?
And it would be quite cruel to Giorgio.
Thinking of the explosive force she had felt earlier, Anna secretly decided to go for it.
At this moment, Giorgio's tall and elegant figure walked back into the room.
The muscles under his white shirt were faintly visible. Anna blushed, slightly pulling the blanket over herself, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Giorgio," Anna uttered, ready for the next step.
"Anna, I need to go out for a bit," Giorgio said, his voice clear and pleasant.
Instantly, Anna felt like she was thrown cold water.
For some reason, she didn't feel relieved but rather a bit disappointed and awkward.
"Aren't you going to rest for a bit? Is it urgent?" She realized after asking that it sounded like an invitation, and her face turned beet red.
Giorgio looked at her shy expression. Because he had kissed her too much earlier, her hair was messy, and there were marks on her neck. His heart stirred.
"Yes, Lola called about some urgent news to discuss." Mainly, he wanted to stay rational and not touch her for now.
"You rest for a bit. I'll come back to accompany you after I'm done." After saying that, he took his suit jacket and left.
The door closed behind him.
Anna's heart sank with the sound of the door closing.
What was she doing just now?
How could she expect and even ask him to stay?
After a while, Anna shyly thought about leaving, but she found that she still couldn't use the elevator, so she had to stay.
"Anna, are you out of your mind? How could you post that on Instagram to help Lola?" Sara called, sounding angry and frustrated. "It was so hard for you to be with Mr. Vittorio, and now that you finally have a chance, why are you being so righteous and following the rules? You're just too kind-hearted!"
Anna knew Sara was worried about her. At that time, she was heartbroken and had just broken up, so she did that.
But she didn't regret it. Even if she were clear-headed, she would still make the same choice.
Because Lola was the thorn between her and Giorgio. If it wasn't dealt with now, it would cause problems later.
Letting Giorgio date her wasn't just a test for Giorgio but also to make Lola give up.
If Giorgio really developed feelings for Lola, it would mean he wasn't worth her love.
If he remained indifferent and kept his distance, Lola, being so smart, would definitely give up.
"Sara, calm down. This won't affect my relationship with Giorgio. We were just together, almost..." She didn't finish the sentence, her voice already filled with shyness.
Sara, being sharp, instantly understood the implication, asking, "Really? Spill it. What did you guys do?"
"I mean we almost had sex."
"Anna, I can hear the disappointment in your voice," Sara teased.
"I'm hanging up!"
Quickly hanging up the phone, Anna ran into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and splashed cold water on her face.
She wasn't disappointed!
Absolutely not!
After calming down, Anna placed an order at an online grocery store, buying some ingredients to cook dinner tonight. She planned to bring Charlie and Penny over for a family gathering, which was also a gesture to show their reconciliation.
Tonight, the two kids would definitely be very happy.
Halfway through cooking, the doorbell rang.
Anna walked over to open the door.
The next second, a slap came right at her, fast and heavy, catching her off guard.
Anna's head was turned to the side, and a bright red handprint immediately appeared on her cheek, burning with pain.
She turned her eyes to look at the person, utterly shocked.
Standing at the door was a woman in the latest designer suit, looking beautiful but furious.
It was none other than Edith, whom she had met before.
