Chapter 260: Meet Matthew again.
As night fell, the city lights came on.
It had been a long time since autumn, at that time the wind was much stronger at night, some times one entered that street and there was an illusion that winter was coming.
Just then, when Serena left the house, she had forgotten to put on her coat and stopped all shivering at the intersection.
She did not go to the company, but to the hospital for a maternity checkup.
After all, she had been pregnant for a while, and her physical condition was not very good, so she went for a checkup because she was worried.
The result made her happy.
The doctor said that the baby was quite healthy, but that her body was too weak and needed to be more toned, otherwise the baby would suffer from malnutrition.
As long as she would give birth to this baby quietly, she would have a someone in this world.
She was thinking that in the future she would have to look for a new lucrative job and then try to raise the baby on her own, teach him to read and write, and that the baby would run after her and follow her everywhere.
Thinking about these images, Serena softened.
Everything was beautiful.
Her baby.
It had been a long time since Serena felt part of the family.
Although she was the daughter of the Gallo family, she did not know why, but she had never felt its warmth.
A cold wind blew, and Serena shrank back from the cold, and unconsciously hugged herself.
The lights of a car’s headlights grew closer and closer, and they were so bright that Serena struggled to open her eyes. When the lights dimmed, Serena found that the car had stopped in front of her.
The window rolled down and a familiar face appeared in front of Serena.
“Miss Gallo, I thought it was you when I was far away, but I didn’t expect it was really you when I approached.”
Serena was a little surprised: she saw Chiara open the car door and get out, while an indifferent Matteo sat in the back.
She had not expected to meet them here.
“I met you several times in the hospital. Miss Gallo, are you sick?” Chiara asked worriedly, Serena smiled and shook her head, “No, I came for check-ups, why are you here?”
“I was walking around this way, and I had seen someone who looked a lot like you from a distance, so I walked around and took a look. I didn’t really expect to see you, are you waiting for the bus?”
Serena was a little embarrassed, her white cheeks were flushed with wind, and she nodded, “Yes.”
“Get in the car, we’ll drive you.”
Hearing this, Serena shook her head awkwardly, “It won’t be very comfortable, but it’s okay anyway, I’ll wait a little longer here.”
“Get in the car.” Matteo frowned when he saw her refusal.
His voice was cold and clear, and he could not hear any emotion, but with inexplicable deterrence, Serena stood still for a while, then obediently opened the door and got into the car.
After getting into the car, Matteo saw that she was wearing light clothes and her rosy lips were parched by the wind, and he could not help but ask her, “How long did you wait?”
“It didn’t take long, I just left.”
“Lying is not a good habit.” Matteo retracted his gaze, his tone sounding unpleasant: “Even if you think this is a white lie.”
Chiara, who was sitting in the front seat, seemed slightly surprised when she heard that she had seen Serena through the rearview mirror. She had really seen the embarrassment on Serena’s face. Then Serena looked at Matteo again, parted her lips, but said nothing.
Chiara curled her lips and hastened to say, “Miss Gallo, it doesn’t matter. President Giordano always has a stern look, but he means well.”
Hearing this, Matteo frowned, “There are many things I have to do.”
Chiara smiled slightly, turned her head back and said nothing.
It seemed to get warmer in the car, and Serena blinked. In fact, she didn’t care much either, but she didn’t expect Matteo to expose her lies instantly.
Calm inside the car was restored. The temperature inside the car was very high. Serena, who had just frozen outside, felt much warmer after sitting down, even though her hands were still cold.
Matthew probably noticed, suddenly raised his hand to unbutton his dress, then took off his jacket and handed it to her.
“Put it on.”
Hearing, Serena stared at him suddenly surprised, “No, there is no need…”
“What?” Matteo arched his eyebrows, with his voice still indifferent he said, “Haven’t you run enough for the hospital?” Put this on, or you’ll catch a cold.”
His tone was too strong to refuse, but Serena did not want to take his coat, because she always thought that Matteo had been too kind to her.
Why all this?
Seeing that she would not take it, Chiara said, “Miss Gallo, you should put it on. This is a long journey. It has been blowing a very cold wind for more than half an hour. Put it on and then take it off when you come down.”
In any case, Serena did not want to take that dress.
Matthew frowned, and suddenly reached out his hand and on his own initiative put the dress on Serena’s body. His movements were so fast that Serena had no time to refuse. He had put her warm dress on her body, since she was not big, her shoulders were completely covered.
“This… “Serena raised her head, trying to say something to him, but she happened to see Matteo’s determined gaze.
Serena had frozen.
His eyes were strong and steady, “Don’t drop it, don’t take it away.”
Then he withdrew his hand and returned to his seat.
Serena fell silent, looked at the dress on her body and then at Matthew’s figure.
She did not know why but suddenly she felt a very strong sensation.
How could that feeling be described?
It felt like… it was in the family….
Although Serena thought this feeling was ridiculous, it was Matteo who made her feel it… he was like a very kind brother.
Thinking about this, Serena lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt.
She thought, could it be that too many things had happened recently, making her too agitated, that’s why she had this feeling?This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Also, Matthew himself was a particularly stable and secure person, so he conveyed this feeling.
Thinking about this, Serena felt a little more comfortable, then her red lips curled slightly and she thanked Matteo.
Hearing her thank you, Matteo was surprised and looked at her out of the corner of his eye.
It happened that Serena was sitting there in a dress, her head bowed, blue silk covering half her cheek, and her long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow around her eyes.
Something in Matthew’s heart suddenly moved.
It seemed so
that he had felt something similar.
How could two people be so similar?
If he had nothing to do with the Giordano family, why did they have such similar behavior?
Their mannerisms were the same.
“Tu… “Matthew’s thin lips moved and he could not help but look at her, “How many people are there in your family?”
Chiara, who was facing him, could not help but be surprised when she heard the words, had Mr. Giordano really started to move like that?
In fact, she could not understand what Matteo wanted to do to Serena. If he wanted to court her, this would have no effect in his eyes toward Serena, but a man could never be so kind to a woman for no apparent reason. If he did not want to court her, then why was he so kind?
Chiara could not understand this.
