I think Vincenzo simply left to discuss something important with that old lady in private. Either way I still feel uncertain about his feelings towards Anastasia. He keeps on giving mixed feelings hints. PS: author, I think you should re-read this chapter and try editing it again as I can see many mistakes here and there. Not that I have any problems with it, but since I am starting to develop interest in this novel, I just wanted to give my suggestions to make it even better
