Anna placed the glass of water in front of Matthew and immediately walked away.
Matthew's eyebrows unconsciously furrowed and he looked at Anna, who immediately said, -I remember that I haven't arranged my clothes properly yet, so I'm going to the room.
After speaking, she quickly turned around and returned to the room.
Both Matteo and Serena were speechless.
After they both saw Anna enter the room, Serena could not help but say, -Brother, don't be so scary, you scared Anna a lot.
Hearing her, Matteo gave her a cold look: -Your friend was very brave, she brought Manuel here without telling me anything.
Serena bit her lower lip and decided to cover Anna.
-In fact, she did not want to come, but I felt there was no progress on my part, so I sent a message to Anna and asked her to bring Manuel to stay with me.
Matthew did not believe her words, he raised his eyebrows when he heard, -Are you going to take the blame for her?
-Brother, it's not like that... I really sent a message to ask her to come.
-Do you have any proof? -Matthew said.
Serena was speechless.
She had not expected Matteo to ask her, and she was stunned for a long time before mumbling and explaining, -That...I sent a message, but the phone's memory was erased.
-Really? -Matthew asked slowly without hurry.
Serena suddenly did not know what to say, because she felt that no matter what she said, she could not hide the truth. How could Matteo not know her personality? She had not made Manuel come earlier because she wanted to settle the matter herself, hoping to pick Manuel up after Cristian had recovered his memory.
But now, Cristian still has not recovered his memory, but she said she was the one who sent a message asking Anna to bring Manuel here.
No one would have believed her.
She stopped talking, because she knew Matteo did not believe what she had said.
She lowered her head, her mood suddenly depressed.
Matteo was stunned for a moment.
Thinking about what he had said to her, it seemed that his tone had been too harsh. At that moment, seeing her so depressed, he suddenly blamed himself.
-I'm sorry...I didn't use this tone intentionally in dealing with you, I just...
-I know,‖ Serena interrupted him, -I know you're just worried about me, but I'm an adult and can do whatever I want, even Anna, she knows what she's doing, since she dared to take Manuel to come here, that means this was not just of her own free will.
Saying this, Serena raised her head and met Matthew's eyes.
-Since it was Manuel who wanted it, why should you blame Anna, brother?
Matteo could see that Serena was determined to defend Anna. He could no longer blame Anna. Matteo wanted to get her to admit her mistake first. It didn't matter what she wanted to do, but what mattered to him more was that she had taken Manuel to come here without telling him.
What if something had happened during the trip?
Thinking about this, Matteo's voice softened a little.
-If this is what you expected, fine.
-It's not what I expected,‖ Serena interrupted him, -I'm just telling the truth. If you want to blame Anna, then Manuel will be no exception either. After all, I can say that Manuel's courage was the greater between these two people. If Manuel had not asked Anna, Anna would never have taken him to come and visit me.
What Serena said seems to be correct.
But. Matthew frowned and looked at her, not really being close to his son.
Wasn't he worried that she would blame Manuel?
But that wasn't what he had to worry about, Matteo stopped talking and reassured her, -It's okay, I know, don't get upset.
Serena lowered her eyes and did not respond.
