Chapter 1418 Powerless?
Matthew did not answer.
Anna looked up at him and noticed that his lower jaw was a little tense and he seemed to be serious.
Could it be anger? Anna regretted that she should not have been so flippant; what was wrong with being alone?
If she couldn’t, she could have gone down with him, why did she have to cling to him?
He was a big man, how humiliating would it be for others to see him like this?
Anna was still thinking about it, but the delivery man had already delivered everything and said to Matthew, “Enjoy your meal, I’m leaving now.”
Bang!
After a moment, Anna lifted her head again and asked weakly, “No, aren’t you eating?”
It was better if she did not speak, but as soon as she did Matteo lowered his head and looked at her with sly eyes.
A look as if he were watching prey, staring at her head.
She blinked and avoided his gaze, “Me, I’m just asking, forget about eating….”
The words had barely left her lips when Matthew lowered his head and grabbed her lips tightly as Anna’s back hit the door panel hard, but not painfully, because Matthew had reached out early to block it for her.
His other hand lifted her chin, forcing her to take the full force of this fiery, intense kiss that was like a rain shower.
It was like a young bud in the wind, destroyed by the storm.
Anna could never have imagined that the man’s face was as calm as if nothing had happened when she had come down the stairs, and that he had been so tense when she had spoken to him that he had seemed angry.
Who knew, he was actually holding back a big move.
The two were always busy these days because of the wedding, and there were few times when they were as close as this. He had not expected it to be so fierce when he arrived, and Anna was pressed against the door panel, almost a little overwhelmed.
The only good thing, though, was that all the fear that the daytime incident had caused her had run away clean at this point; he was always able to do that; she had been terrified before, too, only he had told her to come to her senses right away with a kiss.
The kiss lasted for an unspecified amount of time before Matteo finally let her go, Anna was already completely flopping and relying on Matteo to hold her, if he let her go she would have fallen from him.
Matteo picked her up and carried her to the sofa, slowly arranging her clothes and hair, her breathing labored before but now back to normal.
Unlike Anna, whose face was still flushed and whose breathing had increased somewhat under Matthew’s grooming, she was too embarrassed to look him in the eye.
The two sat in silence for almost five minutes.
“Dinner?”
He tried to inquire.
Anna swallowed and nodded.
“Can you walk alone?”
Immediately after the words came out, Anna broke away from Matthew’s body and said negatively, “Sure.”
She turned and was ready to walk toward the table, but just two steps later her legs gave way and a large hand wrapped around her in time to pull her back into his arms.
“We’ll carry you.” Although her tone seemed calm and normal, Anna looked up and saw a hint of ridicule in her eyes, and her face blushed as she unconsciously explained, “I… probably haven’t eaten and I’m a little hungry, that’s why I can’t get up.”
“Oh.” Confronted with her explanation, Matthew made only a faint oh, and with a gentle motion he picked her up and carried her across the table.
Anna did not expect her explanation to be met with the word “oh” and was even more conflicted, “Oh? What was the meaning of oh?
“I’m telling the truth, I’ve been sleeping since I came back from the noon exit, I haven’t eaten anything, so I guess I was a little low on blood sugar just now, that’s why I couldn’t get up, I don’t have …”
She was still explaining when Matthew suddenly raised his eyes and settled on her face, “Will you have a bowl of soup first?”
Anna froze for a moment and then saw Matteo serving her a bowl of soup, what did that mean? She was explaining, but he was not taking her seriously, why did he feel that she was making her worse than she was?
Thinking about this, Anna was furious, “I don’t drink it, don’t pour it for me.”
“Not anymore?”
“Yes!”
She didn’t even listen to his explanation, leaving her alone to make more and more sense, it was really irritating.
Matthew half-closed his thin lips and stared at her intently, not sure what she was thinking, just looking at him as if she was making some kind of decision.
After a while, he suddenly put down his bowl and began to unbutton his dress.
Anna did not take him seriously, thinking that he was just going to take off his jacket for dinner, but then he put it down on the chair next to him and began to unbutton his shirt.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
At first Anna sat still, but it was only when he reached the third button up and moved on to the fourth that she realized something was wrong.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t you want a drink?” Matthew finished undoing the fourth button and said indifferently, “Then let’s continue where we left off.”
His expression was reticent, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
Anna, however, stiffened at what he said, and had to continue without the soup? What sense does this make? She immediately said, “No, you cannot continue, I want to eat.”
Then she opened the lid herself and arranged all the food inside.
At these words, Matthew’s hands moved and he narrowed his eyes at her.
“Hungry?”
“Mmmmmm!” Anna nodded, she was really hungry, and the most important reason was that she could not be in the same room with Matteo right now, she was pregnant and had been in shock for the past two days, if she was in the same room with him again, she was afraid that her baby would be unstable.
She had not worried about this before, after all Matteo seemed to be rather reticent and unwilling to this, apart from that one trip abroad, there had never been anything between her and him.
Anna was also not so enthusiastic about it, she was just surprised because she had heard that men had deep desires for the ones they liked, but Matteo did not behave like that, even on that night abroad when he was drugged he had managed to hold back very well.
Sometimes Anna wondered if he had good self-control or if he was not too interested in her.
But she did not doubt his feelings for her, she could feel how he liked her, how he felt about her, after all, apart from these things, he had shown quite a bit of desire for himself in other ways.
Maybe he just had good self-control?
Or maybe he is a little older and therefore a little less capable in that area?
