Hearing this, Matthew, however, remained as calm as ever, with a cold touch on his face.
-Are you so free that you made a special trip here?
-Hey, that's right, there's too much free time, so I came to see my sister.
-Sister? -Matteo narrowed his eyes slightly, not quite understanding the meaning of the epithet.
-Yes, Anna already calls me brother, so why don't you change your name when you see me in the future?
At that moment, Marcello could not keep a smile in his eyes, -How are you doing, brother-in-law?
Anna, who was sitting on the sidelines, realized that Marcello was joking about Matteo. She was fine with him calling Marcello brother, but she did not expect him to make a joke about such things to Matteo.
It was a joke that was fine with her, but she did not know how Matteo felt about it.
With this in mind, Anna spoke anxiously on Matteo's behalf.
-Marcello, I...
Before she could finish the sentence, her hand was grabbed by Matteo and then he interrupted her, -What's the hurry?
Anna froze and tilted her head to look at him.
-That it was a joke didn't really matter.
The most important thing was that the girl was fine by his side, and the fact that she stood up for him like that was already the happiest thing for him.
Marcello looked at this scene, said harshly, -I thought that even if you fall in love one day, you are definitely not the type to take care of girls, I never thought you can do better than I thought, Anna, you can't find better than this man even in the future!
Anna blushed at the two men's words and felt completely unable to be here, so she could only withdraw her hand and say, "There may be some work going on downstairs, so I'll go down and help while you two talk.
With that, and without waiting for Matthew to ask her to stay again, Anna quickly got up and left.
When she was gone, Marcello's face still had a flirtatious smile on it.
-A few jokes and you can't beat it.
At her words, Matteo looked at him slightly: -If you knew, why did you say that?
Life is boring, you have to give yourself something to do, otherwise it would remain boring, right brother-in-law?
Considering that the anniversary of his wife's death was in a few days, Matthew could only push his emotions deeper into his chest.
-What? Are you serious? Is this the only one you decided to do?
After the joke, the smile on Marcello's face had not completely vanished, but the seriousness was clearly written in his eyes as he warned him, -As your lifelong friend I would like to warn you that this girl is not to be trifled with, and if you can't promise to treat her well all your life, you'd better not joke with her.
Matthew looked at him helplessly, "How do you know I won't?
-Who knows if she will? After all, you've been ruthless for too long, and now that you have a girl by your side, who knows if you'll suddenly go crazy and abandon her?
Although I haven't seen much of her, I can tell from her behavior that she is a person determined to see it through. If you ever make a mistake or break her heart, I'm afraid you won't be able to have her for the rest of her life.
These words were true, and Anna was indeed that kind of person.
Matthew had just been with her, but he also knew that Anna was incredibly stubborn, otherwise she would not have stayed in love with him for so long.
