Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 96 Reconcile

It was an anonymous message. He did not know who the person who sent this photo was, nor did he

know what this person’s

intentions were.

However, it completely disturbed Manuel’s mind. He had never been so flustered because of a matter.

Although he did not show it, his mind was already in a mess

Manuel dialed that number After two rings, the phone was picked up. The person who spoke was

smiling. “Hello? It is not convenient for Ainsley to answer the phone now She is hugging Cason I am

sorry. You can call later”

“Beep

After hanging up, a deep smile appeared on Kaitlin’s face. After deleting the call record, she put the

phone back in its original position

All of this seemed to have never happened before.

She looked at the two of them Ainsley and Cason were still opening the durian.

The smell coming from the durian even invaded her skin. Ainsley removed it and took out durian flesh.

After throwing away the husk, all that was left was the fragrance of durian flesh. For some reason, she

actually thought of the faint smell of cedar.

Regardless of whether it was that day at Pearl Hotel or later when he hugged her, this smell would make

her heart beat faster

At this moment, she was completely unaware of everything.

After hastily playing two games of chess with Mathew, she left. She truly did not want to see Kaitlin’s

face, nor did she want to see Cason.

In the next few days, Ainsley did not see Manuel. He suddenly became busy. She was not used to it.

Serina lived in her apartment these days. Although Serina’s condition had stabilized, she was still

worried about letting Serina live alone.

After school, they returned home. Not long after, Serina went out and carried a lot of food.

“Did you buy it?” Ainsley was confused.

“No, it was Manuel who sent it over,” Serina replied obediently.

“Why didn’t he send it over himself?” Ainsley lowered her eyes.

“Manuel didn’t say it, but he said he wouldn’t let me tell you.” Serina walked in and opened the bag. In

addition to Pearl Hotel’s food,

there were also Flavor Dessert Shop’s egg tarts and desserts.

Ainsley picked up an egg tart. The sweet milk aroma was spread all over the mangoes, but she felt it

tasteless.

It was very strange why Manuel suddenly seemed to have become a different person. Although she had

always told herself to

recognize the gap between the two of them, she had never been able to properly suppress it.

Perhaps she was too self-righteous in the past and mistakenly thought that Manuel also liked her…

But now she realized that all along, things had been so tame between her and Manuel. He could come

and go to her place as he pleased.

She knew nothing about Manuel.

Putting down the half-bitten tart, she entered her room.

She looked at her face with a bitter smile in the mirror on the dressing table. There was also the Cartier

bracelet on her fair wrist. The

color of the rose gold had faded away, leaving only the dazzling light of diamonds.

She took the bracelet down and put it back into the drawer.

Something that did not belong to her should not be kept with her.

Wasn’t it?

Although Serina had not completely returned to normal, Serina felt a little upset due to her sensitivity.

Manuel and Ainsley were the two people she liked the most.

The next day, just after school, Serina pulled Ainsley and begged, “Ainsley, Manuel will come to pick me

up today. Let’s go back

together.”

Ainsley thought for a moment and said softly, “Serina, go back first. I can go back on my own. I can’t

always trouble Manuel.”

“Ainsley, I have been living with you for the past few days. I’ve caused you a lot of trouble,” Serina said in

a sweet voice, holding Ainsley’s arm intimately.

Ainsley was still unable to refuse Serina, so she took her bag and left the school with Serina.

When Ainsley saw Manuel, she only nodded slightly

The two of them had not seen each other for only a few days. It was as if they had not been in contact for

a few years This time, she and Serina sat in the back seat together.

“Aisy, this time I want to bring Serina back to the old house. Shall I send you back first?” Manuel’s voice

was a bit cold.

“No! Manuel, send me over first, then send Ainsley back.”

Before Ainsley could speak, Serina had already shouted hurriedly

Manuel did not refute and sent Serina back to the old house first.

In the car, neither of them spoke. There was a rare awkwardness in the car. If it was a few days ago,

they definitely wouldn’t have thought of this.

Manuel opened his mouth several times and closed it again. He was unable to ask her.

The car drove downstairs of the apartment building, and Ainsley got out of the car and said to him,

“Thank you.”

Looking at the back of Ainsley, who turned and left, he felt a burst of sadness in his heart.

He called Roman, and the phone was quickly picked up.

“Hello! Why are you free to call me? Tell me, what do you want to eat this time?”

“I have a question for you,” Manuel said seriously.

Roman heard the disappointment in Manuel’s tone and became serious.

“I have a friend. She contacted her ex-husband after the divorce and got along well with him. Do you

think she…”

“You are not talking about Ms. Easton, are you?” Roman immediately understood.

Manuel was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer

“I suggest you ask her in person. Mr. Gage, maybe it is a misunderstanding, so it is better to ask clearly.”

“Got it.”

Hanging up the phone, Manuel pulled down the rearview mirror and mocked himself.

He was really ****. He knew how much Ainsley hated Cason, and how could she talk cheerfully with

Cason?

Unbuckling the seat belt, he opened the car door and saw Ainsley looking at him. The two of them

looked at each other and smiled

“You didn’t leave?” Ainsley’s eyes flickered.

She was wearing a dress with a bun. Her long dress fluttered in the whad, and she looked gentle as she

stood under the streetlights.

Manuel walked over and draped his coat over her. “Why did you come down?”

“I, I just came down for a walk.” Ainsley pursed her lips.

Manuel did not ask her bluntly. He smiled faintly, “Do you want to have a chat?”

“Sure.” Ainsley walked with her hands behind her back.

“Do you often go to the Baldry’s house recently?” Manuel followed her.

“No, I only went there twice.”

Manuel suddenly asked, “Have you been very close to Cason recently?”

Ainsley looked at him in shock and burst out laughing, “Manuel, are you kidding me? How can I be close

to him?”

Manuel composed himself and took out the photo he had received last time. “Someone sent me this

photo anonymously a few days

ago.”

Ainsley looked at the photo on his phone in confusion. She remembered that Kaitlin had asked her to

open the durian when she went

to the Baldry’s old house. Cason had come over to help her.

“This is fake. I won’t get so close to him, but…”

Looking at this angle, Ainsley instantly understood. “This was definitely taken by Kaitlin! Why did she

deliberately take this photo and

send it to you?”

Could it be that he hadn’t come to her in the past few days because of this photo?
