After dinner
Anna finds a surprising addition to the table, Manuel's playmate Angelica.
The daughter of the Rossi Group.
Anna looked at her round face and laughed, "Little Angelica, it's been so long, why are you so round again?"
Little Angelica blinked her round eyes, her skin grew paler and pinker, and she looked like a white cotton ball sitting next to the tall, thin Manuel.
He could not understand Anna's teasing, so he merely smiled stupidly at her.
That smile ......
Anna froze for a moment and then looked at Lea, who was sitting next to her, who also gave a silly smile.
The corners of Anna's mouth twitched.
When she had met Angelica before, the child's smile had been innocent and sweet, how could she have become as goofy as Lea after only a short time with her?
But time flies, first Lea was a tiny baby who could only be held in her hands, and now she can sit on her own.
Serena let Cristian carry everything to the table before unfastening her coat and sitting down.
"Brother, Anna, I'm cooking for me tonight, so you will have some extra."
Since Serena and Anna knew each other first, Serena did not call Anna her sister-in-law as she normally did, but simply called her by her first name.
Cristian said irritably, "Because I don't usually see you being so careful with me, cooking for your own brother when he is here."
Anna blinked, and without waiting for Serena's response snapped, "Cristian, Matteo is not a stranger, he is Serena's brother, why are you still so jealous?"
Cristian's face changed slightly and his eyes narrowed toward her, but Anna was not afraid at all.
As it turned out, Cristian only gave her a fierce look and then withdrew his eyes without saying anything.
"Okay, let's all stop talking and eat first."
Manuel sat next to his two sisters, keeping an eye on them and feeding them, and Angelica lent her flowers and put the crispy meat Manuel had given her into Lea's bowl before saying in a milky voice, "Sister this is for you to eat."
Lea blinked, her eye lashes growing like two small brushes as she held the drop-resistant bowl her parents had specially bought her, with cartoon animals painted on it, and said in a small barking voice, "Thank you, Sister Angelica."
"You're welcome, Sister Lea, take your time."
The three got along exceptionally well.
After dinner, Anna joined Serena in the kitchen and asked her, "What do you think of Angelica? Do you want to raise her as compensation for Manuel's future girlfriend."
At her words, Serena gave her a strange look.
"How is that possible? She's so young, they're just kids playing together, and besides, I really like her."
"I know, but I heard that Cristian was called at first under the guise of finding Manuel a girl?"
"Well, at first yes, but they are still very young, so I don't get involved in such things. However, you know that on things like relationships, adults can't interfere, and if they really are meant to be a couple later on then I won't object, but if the children don't like it then I can't force them to be together, so I'm not saying anything, we'll see how they see it when they grow up."
Serena turned on the faucet and the water filled with a splash as Anna put the clean dishes under the water.
"You're right too, but Angelica is a bit of an uncontrolled eater as a child, it's not good for her health to gain too much weight."
"I know," Serena nodded approvingly, "I think it's bad for her health too, I've told her several times, but each time she promises me that she won't overeat next time, but every time she sees food she forgets about it, abandoning all the instructions I gave her and her own promises."
