Chapter 286: Presentment
“I’ve never seen it.”
Saying this, Serena returned the two photos.
“You lost this lock and are looking for it?”
Slight disappointment appeared in Matthew’s eyes, that clue was lost, it won’t be needed anymore.
“Yes, this padlock has a very important person, I am looking for the person who owns this padlock.”
Serena: “Ah that’s right, can you try to publish it in the newspapers?”
In the newspapers?
Matteo had already thought about it, however in that way it could bring a lot of problems. The Giordano family enjoyed an important position in the northern city, once that photo is published, many will try to cheat by pretending to be that person.
After a while Serena thought that it was not a feasible thing: “Emm, it seems that it is not very feasible, there are too many kinds of locks, if the thing goes to the newspapers probably many impostors will come. Who are you looking for? This padlock… it looks like the one for children, it will be a very young person right?”
As she spoke, Serena held her cheeks with both hands, when she thought of something her eyebrows frowned.
That look…
She looked more and more like…
Matteo became agitated, he almost wanted to tell her everything.
Finally he looked at Noa and Pietro who were behind Serena, “I have some important things to ask Miss Serena, can you…”
As soon as Noa heard this, she immediately put on her guard and immediately refused, “No!”
There he was, Noa thought, she thought he was really a gentleman, instead it was all pretence, at that moment she wanted to send them away and be alone with Serena.
Noa tried to protect Serena and that attitude of hers made Peter laugh. Pietro had a good eye for people, yesterday when he had seen Matteo take Serena to the room to let her rest, Matteo had only left her on the bed and waited beside her until she woke up, Pietro had understood from there that he was a polite and kind man.
There must be other reasons why Matteo treated Serena that way.
Only it could not be understood what the reason was, Peter had the same thoughts as Clare.
Matteo seemed very friendly to Miss Serena, but it did not seem like a feeling of love, but rather a feeling for family members.
Already, Matteo was acting as if he were a brother.
Thinking about it, Peter pulled Noa’s sleeve, signaling her to be quiet.
“Miss Serena!” Noa ignored Pietro, tugged lightly on Serena’s dress.
Serena understood that Matteo had important things to ask her, so she turned and said to Noa and Pietro, “Go to the other side for a moment and wait for me okay?”
“No, Miss Serena!” Noa curled her lips and said in a low voice, “Who knows if he is a good man or not?”
She said it very softly, but Matteo could hear it anyway, he did not get angry and his expression was still as calm as before.
“Don’t worry.” Serena stroked her hand comfortingly, “I know what I’m doing, Pietro, please.”
“All right Miss Serena.” Pietro nodded, then pulled Noa, “Come on Noa let’s go, it’s Miss Serena’s decision.”
Noa reluctantly followed Pietro, went somewhere else and muttered, “Why does it seem to me that man has bad intentions? Pietro why do you trust him?”
“Believe me, he is not the kind of person you think.”
“How do you know that? You met only yesterday.”
“You can tell by his look and temperament. In North City, the Giordano family is the most important family after the Ferrari Family Group, and he is the leader of the Giordano Family Group.”
Hearing this, Noa was a bit shocked, “The leader of the Giordano Family Group? Me, I didn’t know that.”
“It is enough to know that he is similar to Mr. Cristian.”
Pietro gave a smile and said nothing more.
Noa was still a little nervous and looked in Serena’s direction with her arms crossed over her chest.
After Noa and Pietro walked away, there was silence.
Matteo could no longer ask the question he held deep in his heart.
“Mr. Matteo, what do you want to tell me? Is it about… Alice?” At this point, Serena lowered her eyes and tightened her lips, “If it’s about Alice, I already told you yesterday. The story between Alice and me, I still can’t…”
“Serena you are wrong, I don’t want to ask about the story between you and Alice, but about you.”
“About me?” Serena looked at him with some astonishment.
Matthew nodded, stared at her for a long time before pulling out another picture from his pocket, Serena glanced at it and saw that it was a picture of a baby girl.
The baby in the picture was holding a clenched fist and was very cute.
“So cute.” Serena liked her very much just looking at her, held the photo in her hand and smiled, “Mr. Matteo, whose baby is this?”
Matteo waded her and smiled as well.
If she said at that moment that that was really her, would she be scared?
Although Matteo still wasn’t sure, but deep in his heart, his gut was telling him that Serena was probably the person he had been looking for all along.
Indeed.
The very child of the Giordano family who disappeared shortly after her birth, namely her younger sister, Serena Giordano.
“Mr. Matteo, is this little girl who you are looking for? That lock was hers right?”
“Yes.” Matteo’s expression softened.
“This little girl you are looking for… is she your daughter?” Serena felt a little embarrassed by that question, after asking she wanted to bite her tongue in embarrassment.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
But Matteo did not feel annoyed at all, in fact he looked at her gently with a kind gaze.
Serena felt a little uncomfortable, she immediately returned the picture of the newborn.
“Forgive me Mr. Matteo, I was a bit awkward, sorry!”
Matteo said nothing, but he did not seem angry. Serena for a while could not understand what he was thinking, so she remained silent.
Shortly after, Matteo with some hesitation asked her, “May I ask you… a private thing?”
Serena paused, “A private thing?”
Matteo pondered for a while, but finally did not open his mouth.
Asking a girl if she had a birthmark on her buttock? That sounded perverted, he couldn’t bring himself to ask such a question.
Only he knew about that thing.
Because when his sister had been born, he had held her and his mother had told him about that birthmark.
“Matthew, keep in mind that your sister has a big birthmark on her butt, if one day she gets lost, this way we can find her.”
