Chapter 655: Concern


    At the mention of her brother Matthew, Anna coughed slightly, then said, "After finding a good assistant,


    I''m sure I won''t give up my dream."


    -I am very happy. Don''t forget to advertise for an assistant.


    -Sere....na. -Every day we have more and more business to do in thepany, especially when you


    are not here, I am going crazy from the amount of work I have left to do. To be on the safe side, it


    would be better to hire an extra assistant.


    After the two agreed, Serena began to worry about something. She sat at her desk, looking at Anna,


    who seemed to have a lot to say.


    -What happened to you? If you have something to say, tell me. Don''t stare at me like a woman


    Serena was speechless.


    Anna put the papers in her hand on the table, then pulled out a chair and sat down next to Serena.


    -Tell me, why are you worried? I will do everything I can to help you.


    Serena looked at Anna and said, ?I still haven''t figured out how to tell you.''


    Anna thought about what had happened in thest few days and asked directly, -Are you back with


    him?


    Although she was a little embarrassed, Serena bit her lower lip and nodded. Probably feeling


    apprehensive, Serena asked again,


    -Do you think I''ve gone crazy for love? Had I decided earlier that I would not return to him because of


    the harm he had caused me? But I...


    Serena lowered her eyelids as if feeling guilty, and added, ?I can''t control myself...''.


    Seeing that Serena was like this, so sad and disappointed in herself, Anna also felt sorry and pity for


    her. She went to hold her hand and said softly, "What does it matter? Feelings are uncontroble and


    you cannot hide your infatuation with someone. I have been by your side for these five years, of


    course, I know you have always been in love with him. That''s why I encouraged you to stay with him.


    Actually, it is the same for all of us. When we truly love someone, we are willing to do anything for him,


    no matter the cost.


    Like Serena, Anna knew perfectly well that Matteo did not like her and that it was impossible that she


    would like him, but she did not want to stop loving him.


    She also knew that if she had given in sooner, she might have suffered less.


    However, in her heart and eyes, there was only room for Matthew. For Anna, he was her whole world.


    And what could she do? Forget him and live her life alone?


    Anna clearly knew that she could no longer love anyone but Matteo, after all the time she had loved


    him for. So while there was still a chance, she would take it anyway.


    Moths will always dart toward the me when they see it, regardless of death.


    This is nature.


    Just as Serena loved Cristian, he loved her.


    After five years, neither had changed.


    It was fate.


    -In fact, there is one thing I haven''t told you all these years.


    Serena suddenly broke the silence she had held for so long, saying this.


    -What is it? Is there something I don''t know?


    In fact, everyone was not at all surprised to see that Manuel looked exactly like Cristian, because


    Serena and Cristian had been a couple, and she assumed that the child born after the divorce was


    Cristian''s.


    However, Serena simply did not know, but she had been deceived by Alice, so she had believed the


    hoax that the baby was Leonardo''s.


    Moreover, Cristian knew nothing about what had happened on that rainy night. That is, everyone knew


    the baby was theirs but the two of them.


    Now Serena had found out the truth, so only Cristian, the father, was left in the dark.


    -What is it? Anna asked, waving her own hand in front of Serena.


    Serena recovered and shook her head to clear it, -Ah, what was I going to say, I suddenly forgot,‖


    Serena stopped talking.


    Serena had stopped talking about it.


    It was better not to say it, since everyone knew, and it seemed pointless for her to repeat it.


    Better to leave these senseless feelings aside.


    -You are rather forgetful, aren''t you? It only took a moment, you already stopped talking about it.


    -Actually, I was going to ask, if I bring them together as father and son, should I do, should I have a


    ceremony or something?


    Anna replied, -Father and son reunion? Are you finally willing to let Manuel show his face in front of


    Cristian? Are you no longer afraid? It''s true, you already go to him, even if Cristian saw him, he


    wouldn''t take the child away from you, but ... Have you talked about this with your brother?


    Matthew.


    He had always disapproved of me staying with Cristian, and this time everything had happened so


    suddenly that this decision had been made in an instant.


    -Your brother loves you so much that I think you''d better find some opportunity to tell him. If you don''t,


    I''m afraid you''ll fight about it," Anna said worriedly.


    Serena bit her lower lip and said, -I don''t know how yet. Besides, I think I can make decisions about my


    life. You shouldn''t interfere so much in my decisions, and my parents wouldn''t have the right to do so


    either.


    -But your brother is always so kind to you.


    -I know," Serena nodded but added, "Besides, he is too good to me, so I have made many decisions to


    please him instead of myself. Today I want to take control of my life. Anna, if it''s okay with you, can you


    help me convince him to change his mind, please?


    When Anna heard this, she felt unbearable pressure. She had been brazen enough to ask Manuel to


    bring Matteo to see her, and if she talked about it in front of him, he would surely get very angry again.


    -No, I refuse. I will not help you in this. It''s better if you do it yourself.


    -I assumed you would refuse, okay, fine. I will find the right time to tell him everything....


    ***


    At the same time, after returning, Cristian had not returned to the meeting room, because Luca had


    warned him that everyone had automatically withdrawn. Surprisingly, he had not been angry and had


    simply reconvened the meeting.


    Then the meeting had continued.


    As the meeting proceeded, Cristian began to get distracted again.


    Several elders began to argue again, however, until they finally came into conflict.


    This seemed to have be routine in the meeting, so Cristian usually ignored it and waited for it to


    end, to make his speech at the end.


    This time, however, Cristian had something else in mind.


    What would be the best gift for the son he was about to meet?


    He had lied at the airport that he had already prepared a gift, but in reality Cristian had done it to


    impress Serena.


    He was a first-time father and had not yet met his son.


    How could he know what to give a child?


    He had even said it was a secret, but in reality, he was keeping Serena from knowing.


    At this thought, Cristian felt a headache and half-closed his thin lips.

    -President, what do you think of the proposal I made a moment ago?


    Cristian raised his eyes to look at it and suddenly asked,


    - Normally, what do children like?
