Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 325 They Are Getting Engaged

Ainsley looked at Matteo and felt that something might be wrong.

“Matteo, what’s wrong?” asked Ainsley.

“Well, nothing.” He looked a little anxious.

Ainsley coughed lightly. “What are you concealing from me? Is it about Manuel?”

Matteo avoided any eye contact with Ainsley, immediately stood up, and went away.

“Matteo! Tell me what exactly happened?” Ainsley asked. She thought that something must have happened during the night when she fell unconscious.

“Aisy, please have a good rest and take the soup. Don’t think about anything else,” comforted Matteo.

He did not want Ainsley to know what had happened, but Ainsley stretched out her hand in front of him and

ordered, “Matteo, give me the remote control.”

Matteo quickly put the remote control behind him.

Ainsley immediately rushed over. Matteo was afraid of hurting her, so he did not overreact. In the end, Ainsley

took away the remote control.

Ainsley turned on the TV. The news she heard just now was gone. She changed the channel in a daze and

finally found traces of Manuel in a financial channel.

“It is said that under the witness of Mr. Strato, Mr. Gage, Ms. Wade announced their engagement at night two

days ago. According to the media, when they were still little kids, they were arranged to get married after

growing up. Being childhood friends for many years, they will tie the knot… The Wade Group and the Gage

Group were both influential and powerful, and the marriage between the two families would, by all means, bring changes to Seattle…” said the financial channel.

Ainsley was staring at the TV in a daze till the news ended. Suddenly, she realized why Irene let her go.

The reason was that Irene had already obtained Manuel and they were about to get engaged.

“Aisy, I will always protect you. I will never leave you.”

“Aisy, you know I really love you. Please believe me no matter what happens next.”

At the thought of those words Manuel told her before, Ainsley smiled bitterly, “How I can believe you?”

Facing reality, Ainsley could hardly accept that Manuel was engaged to Irene for the purpose of

protecting

her.

She suddenly remembered what Irene had said, “What you can do now is to be obedient…”

It turned out that she was just a tool, which was used to make Manuel surrender. Now, Manuel already

surrendered, so she becarne useless accordingly.

“It explains the matter…” she muttered to herself.

“Cut Bone

“Aisy, what’s wrong?” Matteo patted Ainsley’s shoulder worriedly.

I’m fine, Matteo,” answered Ainsley.

At the Gage’s house.

At dinner, Irene served Koen cordially and made him much delighted, and even Manuel took a few more

glances.

This scene made Serina quite displeased, but she must pretend to be kind to Irene. She said in a soft

voice to Irene, “Ms. Wade, you are such a nice person and how can you behave so thoughtfully before

marriage?”

Manuel frowned slightly. “Serina.”

“What’s up? Did I say something wrong? You haven’t even gotten engaged or married,” Serina said with

her voice gradually turning lower under Koen’s gaze. Finally, she didn’t dare to say anything else.

“Serina, I know you **me because of Ainsley. But, even if I become Manuel’s fiancée, Ainsley can still be

your best friend. Your relationship will not change. The one who made this choice is your brother, but not

me. For me, I just like him and it is not my fault,” Irene sadly looked at Serina and explained.

She lowered her head and looked pitiful, but Serina was irritated and said, “Don’t act like this! It’s as if 1

-bullied you.”

“Serina, do you remember that we two know each other even earlier than you and Ainsley, right? In the

past, we chatted and went shopping together. We were so happy. But why did you start to *me after you

knew Ainsley? I feel sad,” Irene said.

Serina was stunned on the spot and did not know how to answer. Indeed, she regarded Irene as a

barricade

between Manuel and Ainsley.

Generally speaking, Irene treated her quite well. Serina said, “I… It’s all Manuel’s fault!”

Then, she dropped her fork and ran into the room.

Irene concealed the smile in her eyes. She knew that Serina was easy to control.

At the Baldry family.

Cason returned home from the company with fatigue. In the living room, Lindsay and several ladies were

playing poker games.

“Cason is back?” Lindsay kept her eyes fixed on the poker cards.

Cason took off his coat and went upstairs. The conversation between Lindsay and the other ladies still

echoed in his ears.

“Have you heard that Manuel Gage was engaged to Irene Wade? The engagement party will be held in

one month. The girl named Ainsley from the Easton family was kicked out.”

“Well, I already said it. That girl desires to marry into a powerful family, but Manuel Gage doesn’t like

her!”

“Apart from Manuel Gage, Koen Gage, such a powerful figure, would not accept such a girl either. When

I

participated in Manuel Gage’s birthday banquet, I saw clearly that Koen Gage did not like her.”

“I really want to see the reaction of the Easton family, but unfortunately, I can’t see it.”

“Mrs. Baldry, you are much more relaxed now. You don’t need to take care of your pregnant daughter-in- law.”

Lindsay said uncomfortably, “Kaliyah was framed by that Ainsley!”

“Bang!”

The door of the study was slammed ***. Cason leaned against the door and pondered for a long time.

Of course, he knew about the engagement between Manuel and Irene, and he also knew about the

kidnapping of Ainsley that night.

Cason secretly searched for Ainsley for a long time, but there were no clues.

When Manuel and Irene were engaged that night, Cason found Ainsley at the entrance of the University of

Washington and he breathed a sigh of relief.

With his current identity, Cason could not approach Ainsley directly. His sentiment battled with rationality.

and the former prevailed, so he nearly lost control of himself.

Sitting in the study room in agony, Cason opened the drawer and took out a photo album. It was the family photo album made by Ainsley. From the moment he found it, he placed it in his drawer and took it out

whenever he had time to take a look.

Every time he woke up at midnight and missed Ainsley too much, then he would go into the study room and take a look at the photo album. It would always make him feel a moment of peace.

However, as the peaceful moment went by, Cason was soon filled with a greater sense of loneliness, especially when the darkness and emptiness of the room besieged him.

Cason assumed that if everything could go back to a time when they had not divorced, or back to a time. when he first met Ainsley, thus he would definitely care about Ainsley very much.

Thinking of this, Cason laughed at himself. How could there be so many assumptions in the world?

He did not even turn on the lights in the study, but just sat down and touched Ainsley’s face in the photo under the moonlight.

“Ainsley, are you okay now?” murmured Cason.

In the intensive care unit, at Virginia Mason Hospital.

Ainsley coughed violently. The nurse changed the medicine for her.

“When can I leave the hospital?” She asked.
