Chapter 904: Do you want to stop me?


    After showering, Anna walked past Manuel''s room and saw him packing. The New Year was still a few


    days away, so it was too early for him to prepare for the trip.


    Anna walked into his room and said, "You don''t have to be in such a hurry to pack. We have plenty of


    time to do that.


    He, however, ignored her and did not even raise his head to look at her. He was too engrossed in his


    own business.


    Feeling ignored, Anna angrily called his name, forcing Manuel to turn around to look at her.


    Said Manuel, "I always do things in advance to make sure. I don''t want to procrastinate like you. You


    don''t act unless it''s urgent, so you always make mistakes and forget important things.


    Faced with such criticism, Anna was offended and asked him to make an apology to her. However, the


    rebellious Manuel told her that he did not feel guilty about what he had said because his mother Serena


    had also made simrments about Anna.


    She was surprised how well Manuel remembered what Serena had said so long ago.


    Even if it was true, he still wanted to defend himself for his self-esteem. Therefore, he said:


    -Children should respect their elders.


    You shouldn''t criticize others. I am very angry, you know. I warn you now that your criticism has


    offended me, I demand that you apologize. If you don''t, I won''t take you to the airport.


    You will not be able to see your mother.


    Manuel was not afraid to go to the airport alone, but with his young age he would not be allowed to


    board the ne abroad without a guardian by his side.


    Manuel had no choice but to obey her in order to be reunited with his parents and his great-grandfather


    Angelo. He had to please her, so he stopped packing and began his "performance."


    He ran to Anna, hugged her thigh and pleaded, "Aunt Anna, I''m so sorry.


    Forgive me for my folly earlier. Being the most beautiful in the world, you should be my uncle''s future


    wife ....


    Anna felt pleased with what he had done and said, and told him with great joy, "What beautiful words! I


    will do my best to take you to see your parents, but ... on one more condition. That you defend me if


    your mother reproaches me for taking you abroad.


    Manuel epted it immediately, promising, "I will tell my mother that you are the innocent one. It''s all


    because of my death threat.


    -That''s right, perfect! Invent more, so your mother won''t kill me," said Anna, who was very pleased with


    Manuel''s intelligence.


    Seeing Anna''s grace, Manuel did not want to take away her happiness even though it was impossible


    for Serena to believe her because of such silly lies. Anna''s innocence became an object of ridicule by


    Manuel.


    A few minutester, Anna became very serious and warned him, "By the way, your Uncle Matteo still


    doesn''t know. There is no way to tell him.


    When he finds out our n, he will stop us from making our trip.


    Actually, Anna wanted Matteo to go with them; it would give her a chance to develop a rtionship with


    him during the trip.


    However, she was worried about Matteo''s reaction after learning about their secret trip. Everyone knew


    that Matteo spoiled his sister Serena a lot and would not do anything against her will. Serena would not


    allow Manuel to go abroad, so he would not allow it. If she had invited Matteo to travel with them, he


    would have done anything to prevent it.


    One day, when she had just booked her ne tickets, an unexpected visitor came to see her. She was


    in the office preparing documents, suddenly her assistant told her that someone was waiting for her in


    the hallway.


    Anna immediately went there and imagined it was a customer. However, when she opened the door,


    she saw someone she never thought she would see: it was Luca!

    At the sight of him, Anna was stunned. After he had been wounded, she had not seen him for so long.


    By now he was healed, but he had a deep scar on his face.


    It took Anna a few seconds to work up the courage toe out.


    Seeing her, Luke immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile. When Anna approached him, she


    was surprised by how much his face had changed.


    Luca had lost a lot of weightpared to before, so this time his chin looked sharper; the contours,


    deeper; the looks, more solid.


    Such a deep scar would have destroyed any handsome face, but Luca''s case was exceptional. That


    scar on his face added to the masculinity of his face, something very attractive to most women.


    That scar reminded Anna of the day when he suffered wounds, and that strong pain she felt when she


    saw his bloody face at that time. The wound faded, but Anna''s memory did not. It became indelible for


    her.


    She, too, greeted him with a smile. Then she said with concern, "How are you? Have all your wounds


    healed?


    Luke was stunned for a while before he nodded and replied, "I''m fine, don''t worry. Thank you for your


    consideration.


    A secondter, the two were silent, not knowing how to continue their conversation.


    Anna wondered why there was such an awkward atmosphere, was it because of the previous


    discussion? Anna took a while to choose a topic to kill the awkward silence. Finally she asked, "What is


    the reason for this visit, do you need help?


    Luca nodded and told her to sit down for a quiet chat. Then he took out his ID card and left it on the


    table. Such a gesture puzzled Anna.


    "What is going on here?" she wondered. She asked, "Why did you do that?


    Luke was making every effort to organize the words in his mind, but he could not find the right way to


    exin himself. Finally, he decided to cut to the chase, saying, "Are you going abroad to look for


    Serena and Cristian?


    Anna froze and immediately asked how he knew. As she finished her question, she realized that her


    question had already sold her, because by asking how she knew, she answered yes, yes she would go


    abroad for Serena and Cristian. "What a fool I am!" she said to herself secretly. Immediately she


    changed her tone and added, "No, where did this rumore from?


    When Luca saw how awkward and funny she was, he tried hard not to burst outughing, because he


    had to keep a very calm and serious face in that situation. He replied, "I have my ways of getting this


    information out."


    I guess Matteo doesn''t know your n yet, does he?


    Anna became so nervous that she clenched her fists without realizing it. She did not know how to


    answer her, but she knew perfectly well that the man hade prepared.


    Luke took her silence as an affirmation, so he added, "If Matthew doesn''t know, you certainly didn''t


    warn Serena.


    Anna frowned and muttered, "What do you want? Did youe just to confirm your assumptions? Do


    you want to stop me? Or do you want to feed me to Matthew?
