"But Uncle, the villain, doesn't understand and has upset Anna. And Luke has to help Father in the business of the company and after that he will be sent abroad. So Anna will be alone during this time and could be easily stolen. And I, Manuel, have to take responsibility to protect Anna during that time." Manuel was thinking
Before Manuel could say anything, Anna had already seen him and approached.
At first she had not wanted to come when she saw that Hector was there. Although she had gotten along well with him for the past two days, she did not feel enthusiastic about him.
So she had been about to go straight to the kitchen after serving the food, but then she had caught a glimpse of a small figure standing right in front of Hector.
Was it Manuel?
Seeing Manuel standing with him, inexplicably, Anna felt guilty and approached him.
-Manuel, what are you doing?
Anna called him quickly, then waved.
Manuel thought disgruntledly, -Why is Anna coming at this hour? It would have been better if Anna had come a little later."
He could not call her "mother" in front of Hector. It would have been embarrassing for Anna, so Manuel reluctantly approached and greeted Anna, "Hello, Anna.
Hector was relieved when he heard it clearly. And he thought, "Of course they are not mother and son. The little friend is very bad. He only says that to deceive me, haha. But fortunately I figured it out."
-Well, why were you free to come today? How is your mother? She will have the baby soon, right?
Manuel nodded, -Well, since mom is having a baby, dad doesn't have time for me, so I came to see you alone.
After saying that, Manuel remembered something and looked at Hector, -Anna, who is it? He thought I was just a customer. And he told me that he wanted to invite me for spaghetti and that he was the owner of this restaurant.
Anna also froze, not knowing if it was because of Manuel's words or because of what Ettore had said.
Whatever it was, Ettore could only speak in her defense.
-It's not what you think, I saw him alone and offered to take him out for spaghetti. But the boy was probably worried about what I had said, so he asked if the restaurant was mine. To stall for time, I had no choice but to say those words.
Manuel blinked and thought, "Huh? This man reacted so quickly."
Anna understood.
-Well, I'm sorry. Manuel is my best friend's son, she is expecting her second child, so the child sometimes comes looking for me when he is bored. I'm not talking nonsense, am I?
Manuel blinked, -Anna, I didn't say anything to this gentleman about you and my uncle, I ...
Manuel did not even have time to say these last words before Anna covered his mouth. She smiled uneasily at Hector, -First I'll take him inside.
Then he dragged Manuel into the kitchen.
-Don't talk nonsense! -Once inside, Anna began to lecture Manuel.
Exasperated, Manuel threw his arms in front of him and huffed, -Anna, do you like him? Are you going to marry him? Why don't you let me talk about you and my uncle?
-Of course I don't like him. -Anna froze before answering Manuel's question. But I just met him, and you will embarrass him if you talk to him like that. Besides, your uncle and I will never be together in this life, and I won't be your aunt. So from now on, never mention your uncle in front of me again.
Never in this life?
-Anna, why?
-There is no reason. Don't ask me. In any case, you must not mention his name again, and don't talk about my business in front of your uncle. If you say it again, I won't talk to you anymore.
Manuel pouted, very unhappy.
-Did you hear that?
Manuel did not answer him.
-Hey, say yes. If you don't, I'll call your mother now and ask her to send a driver to take you home.
