Starting With A Divorce Chapter 119


    Chapter 119 I Mean It


    She was a teacher who wanted to live a peaceful life after divorce and focused on doing psychological


    consultation at the University


    of Washington.


    Suddenly, sheughed at herself When did she be so unconfident? In the past, she was lively and


    confident. She was as


    energetic as Serina, but now


    Manuel sat down and put the apple back in her hand. He looked into her eyes and said word by word,


    “This is not a game I mean it I thought you could feel it.”


    He looked at her eyes earnestly. “Aisy, tell me, who do you think you are?”


    “I” Ainsley was at a loss for words.


    “Who are you?” Manuel still stared at her as if he wanted to burn a hole in her face.


    “Just like what Lindsay said, a woman who has been divorced and has bad habits,” Ainsley sneered.


    However, Manuel shook his head. His eyes were cold. His pupils were locked. “Do you ept that


    judgment?”


    Did she ept it?


    Why should she ept it?


    Cason was the one who had divorced and did something bad.


    This world was always harsh on women. Women who had been divorced suffered more discrimination


    than men did. When Lindsay said this, she really wanted to ask if Lindsay was not a woman.


    “Of course not.” Ainsley pursed her lips.


    Manuel’s eyes became gentle. This was Ainsley he knew.


    “Aisy, I have never thought of ying with you. I’m serious about our rtionship.”


    Ainsley felt disturbed, but she did not know how to respond. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look at


    him.


    “Look at me.” Manuel lifted her face and stared at the eyes that wanted to escape.


    Ainsley’s eyshes trembled slightly as she met those eyes. “I shouldn’t say that to you.”


    She was the one who was impulsive and said such words.


    Even if Manuel just wanted to have fun, he had helped her so many times, she should not say such


    words.


    If it was true, she should not have.


    “You still don’t believe me. I like you. What about you?”


    Ainsley’s heart suddenly *****a beat. She did not know how to answer. Did she like him or not?


    How could she lie to him?


    “I… I don’t know.” Ainsley didn’t know if she should like him or not.


    “Let me try it for you,” Manuel smiled.


    “What?” Ainsley looked at Manuel in confusion.


    The handsome face slowly approached her and moved closer to her lips. At that moment, she felt her


    breathing stop and her heartbeat fasten. However, she did not want to push him away.


    “Do you know your feelings?” Manuel raised his head again.


    He didn’t say it clearly, and Ainsley didn’t want to say it either. But her heartbeat became faster and


    faster.


    She understood that only people who liked each other wouldn’t refuse intimate contact.


    Manuel didn’t force her to admit it, but he brought a bucket of mushroom soup that was cooked in the


    evening. “I cooked this myself. You have to drink it.”


    Ainsley looked at it with expectation and tasted it. In addition to mushrooms, there was also some


    meat.


    “Thank you for your kindness”


    Manuel should be very busy, but he still took care of her when she was sick. But she was not a little girl


    anymore.

    “Don’t you have to work? I can take care of myself,” Ainsley said seriously


    Manuel sent an E-mail and said, “Why do you think I spent so much money to hire so many people? I


    didn’t ask them to get paid without doing anything”


    Ding, ding, ding


    Manuel picked up the phone and listened for a few seconds. Then, he opened the speaker


    meaningfully and ced it next to Ainsley


    “Is Ainsley feeling better? Can I go see her? I have been staying at home all this time to give you two


    space, but I’m so worried about her Manuel, why are you so stupid? It’s been so long, and you still


    haven’t gotten her. You have to be nice to her when Ainsley is sick this time!”


    “Serina Ainsley said awkwardly.


    The voice on the other side of the line stopped abruptly. The phone was hung up, and a few seconds


    later, Ainsley’s phone rang.


    “Ainsley, are you better? I was joking just now. Don’t take it seriously,” Serina said timidly.


    “It’s much better. My body temperature has already returned to normal,” Ainsley said with a chuckle


    “That’s good. I’ll hang up then.”


    After Ainsley finished the drip as well as the soup, she slept for a while. When she woke up, she found


    Manuel resting with his hands


    on his cheeks.


    He had sent her over early in the morning and apanied her for so long. He must be very tired.


    His sleeping face was less sharp but gentler. His eyshes were thick and long. She reached out and


    touched them. They were very


    soft


    She touched his nose, touched his cheeks, and his mouth which he used to kiss her several times


    That night when he put his hand on her lips, she wanted to do it.


    Suddenly, he opened his eyes. She was just about to retract her hand when she was caught. “Didn’t


    you sleep?” she asked in


    embarrassment.


    “I didn’t sleep well. He had woken up since she opened her eyes. He just wanted to see what she


    wanted to do.


    Ainsley withdrew her hand, turned around, and covered herself with the nket before falling asleep


    again.


    At the police station, Kiera, who had originally insisted that it was Kaitlin who asked her to do that,


    suddenly changed her words. She


    said it was Ainsley who had bribed her to do this sort of thing.


    No evidence could prove it was Kaitlin who had instigated it. When Manuel released the recording from


    that day, Kiera actually directly changed her words and said that she had been forced by Manuel.


    Lindsay was happy and felt that it was Kaliyah who had persuaded Cason and even given her a


    bracelet.


    However, Kaliyah found that Cason was bing more and more strange. He would often be in a


    daze by himself or when he ate


    It took Cason a long time to react when she spoke to him.


    The hug that night did not give her a sense of security. It made her even more uneasy.


    Ainsley came out of the hospital. Manuel picked her up.


    Since thest time they talked about it, Ainsley was very awkward and did not dare to go see Manuel.


    Along the way, she tilted her head and pretended to be asleep. This time, she stayed for a full two days


    before Manuel agreed to let her leave the hospital.


    When she returned home, Ainsley sat on the sofa in a rxed manner. She had been smelling the


    disinfectant for the past two days.


    “It’s sofortable,” she sighed.


    “Don’t forget to take the herbal tea,” Manuel said as he ced her herbal tea on the table.


    He was just about to leave, but he was a little reluctant.


    When he thought of the call he had received in the middle of the nightst time, he could not help but


    worry. “Aisy, I am very worried


    about you.”


    Ainsley was slightly dazed. Thest person who said that he was worried about her seemed to be only


    Serina and Lainey.


    Also, her father…


    “Don’t worry, I’ll call you if I need anything.” The feeling of dependence was actually like this.


    “You can call me anytime.” Manuel looked at her gently, then turned around and left. He answered the


    phone with a serious look in his


    eyes


    “Hey, when are youing back?”


    “Half an hour,” Manuel said.


    “Yes,e directly to my study.” His dignified voice made Manuel puzzled.


    Koen had never asked about his affairs. Why did he suddenly let Manuel go back this time?


    He got in the car and went back home. He stopped the car and ran to Koen’s study.
