Chapter 88 Mr. Vittorio Is Jealous to the Extreme
"Uncle, do you want to run away from the wedding?" Penny asked.
Giorgio still didn't respond.
"Uncle, don't do something you'll regret. If you like someone, go after them. That's what a real man would do."
Giorgio remained silent.
Anna left the hospital room, partly to buy a gift, but also to avoid Giorgio.
What made her more uneasy than that night was what he said in the corridor today. She didn't know what he wanted to say, and she didn't dare to guess.
But one thing she was certain of was that she and him were not from the same world, and they needed to stay apart.
He couldn't get involved...
"What gift do you want to buy?" Simon's voice sounded in her ears.
Anna came back to her senses and looked at the dazzling array of shops. "Just pick something random. They don't need gifts. Even if I pick the best one, it would just be a decoration. It's better not to waste my money."
Saying that, she casually grabbed a $50 newlywed doll and went to pay.
He had seen casual before, but never this casually. She was really adorable!
After buying the gift, Anna saw a market and asked excitedly, "Can we cook in the hospital ward? Penny loves hot pot, and I want to make it for her."
In theory, you can't, but it's an exception for the advanced ward. And for her, Simon would allow anything.
"You can," Simon answered.
"Great!" Penny grabbed Simon's hand and happily walked into the market.
She bought all fresh vegetables and carefully selected them, very serious about it.
In the crowded market, she looked beautiful, radiating a sense of life.
Simon thought that the fast-paced urban life lacked the relaxation she brought.
Leaving the market and heading to the underground garage, he carried the groceries while she followed closely behind him, like a happy couple.
"Mr. Dalio, you..." a sudden voice sounded.
Anna looked over and saw an extremely beautiful and sexy socialite standing in front of a Stretch Lincoln Limousine, looking at her and Simon with astonishment.
Simon frowned and patted Anna's head. "You go ahead and get in the car."
"Okay..."
"No, who is she?" Mirlinda walked up and looked Anna up and down.
She dressed plainly and looked decent, except for her face and figure, which were nothing special.
"You rejected me because of this woman?" Mirlinda said. Anna wondered what was wrong with her.
Do people like to look down on others now?
Simon kindly said, "Miss Greco, her rejection has nothing to do with you." Even without Anna, he wouldn't let his marriage become a commercial tool.
"Fine, you said you needed time, I want to compete with her." Mirlinda's gaze was fixed on Anna.
She didn't believe she could lose to this woman.
Anna felt confused. The hostility from this woman was inexplicable.
"Miss Greco, I..." I have something to do... no time...
"What's the matter? Are you brave enough to endure Mr. Dalio's love, but not courageous enough to accept the challenge?" Mirlinda's arrogant posture made Anna feel like an ant.
Anna chuckled. "Sure, then let's have a little contest since it's our first meeting. I'll ask you, How do you organize a space party?"
Mirlinda furrowed her brows.
"Experience? Hard work?"
"Wrong! You 'planet'"
Mirlinda's beautiful face froze.
"Here's another question for you: Why don't scientists trust atoms?"
Mirlinda tightened her grip: "What kind of question is that? Does it showcase your ignorance?"
"No, no, no," Anna raised her hand, waving her index finger, "I just wanted to tell you that physical beauty is common, but an interesting soul is rare. When being with a man, it's not only about education, figure, or background, but also about personality.
As for you, you're ordinary, have a bad temper, and lack any uniqueness. If another woman dressed up like you, she could immediately replace you. So, what is it about you that is attractive or special?
Go back and work on yourself, make yourself remarkable. Maybe then you'll have a chance to attract my Simon. Bye."
After saying this, she smiled, grabbed Simon's hand, and left in the car.
Mirlinda angrily tugged her hand, "Where did that woman come from? How dare she say that about me! I'm asking you, am I really that common?"
The driver was about to say no when a salesman's voice came first, "Miss Greco, you forgot the bag you bought."
Mirlinda turned around, ready to say thank you, but instead saw the salesperson running towards another woman who was dressed exactly like her! Obviously, they mistook her for someone else!
Damn it!
Having someone wearing the same outfit happens often, it's normal, but after what Anna just said, she was angry now! She was almost driven crazy by anger!
Inside the car, Simon sat gracefully, his gentle gaze fixed on Anna, filled with admiration. "You performed quite well just now. And about that question you didn't answer, what is it?"
"Because they make up everything)," Anna answered with a smile, her eyes sparkling with liveliness.
Simon smiled.
He suddenly realized that she was smarter, more confident, and wiser than he had imagined.
She was a fascinating girl.
Thinking about how she defended him against Mirlinda and even said "my Simon," a warm feeling surged in his heart...
Back at the hospital, Giorgio had somehow managed to put Penny to sleep. He sat elegantly by her bed, lightly patting her shoulder with his large hand, displaying a tender and affectionate side he didn't understand himself.
Facing Penny, he couldn't help but feel unusually soft and gentle, pampering her like his own child.
That feeling bloomed from deep within his heart, uncontrollable.
When Anna and Simon returned holding hands, his gentle expression turned slightly serious.
An invisible force emanated, displaying authority without anger.
Feeling as if he wanted to devour her, Anna unconsciously let go of Simon's hand.
"Mr. Vittorio, thank you for today. Um, we'll be having hot pot tonight. Will you stay?"
Implicitly, she meant they would be cooking, so he should leave.
However, GiorgioGiorgio replied, "Alright. Since you're inviting me so warmly, I'll stay."
