"You are thinking too much, Signora Maria. I saw the ring mark on her finger. Probably, she had removed it or lost it along with her stuff," was Lara's answer.
Why would a young woman as beautiful and prudent as her be worried about a man's health if he wasn't her husband? She could see in the young lady's eyes the care and affection that she had for her husband.
Maria reckoned before saying, "I think you are right. BTW, did you check into the young man who checked in a while later after the Italian couple? What was his name?"
"Emanuel something…." Lara said. "I checked. He was fine with lunch and I had passed his order to Carlo. He will bring all the things that the boy ordered."
"Aunt Lara, Chiara said you want me to prepare late lunch for someone?" A young man dressed in a t-shirt and shorts appeared. No one would believe that the handsome lad was the one responsible for the meals if they saw his face.
