Chapter 1190
Later on, Estelle and Manley were sitting in the car.
Manley didn’t start the car right away but turned his head to look at Estelle and grinned, “Are you
mad?”
Estelle looked down and said, “No, as long as you’re happy.”
“Oh, you’re being so nice to me? You even pissed off Jonathan for my sake. Seems like I’m more
important to you than he is!” Manley chuckled.
Estelle’s eyes showed no emotion. “Can we drop this topic now?”
Manley held her shoulders, forcing her to look at him. “Don’t be mad; it’s just this once. I probably won’t
be able to piss off Jonathan like this again.”
Estelle just stared at him silently and said, “Aren’t you being a bit childish here?”
“I don’t know what did Jonathan give to my father to make him conspire with him and ship me abroad? I
felt so wronged. I can’t let Jonathan have it easy.” Manleyughed, saying, “I’m the kind of guy who
holds grudges. Nobody but you can mess with me.”
Estelle sighed. “So, you came back just to get on Jonathan’s nerves?”
“Of course not; my main reason foring back was because I missed you. Pissing off Jonathan was
just a bonus.” Manley’s smile faded, and his gaze turned serious. “He’s made you go through so much.
I can’t just hand you back to him like this; I won’t stand for it.”
Estelle was taken aback, her throat tightening. “Manley!”
“I know you’ll eventually go back to him, but can it not be so soon? I’m afraid if he gets you back so
easily, he’ll take you for granted again.” Estelle looked at him, a bitter taste lingering in her mouth,
unsure of how to respond.
“Dummy!” Manley lifted his hand to pat her head, his eyes filled with reluctance and affection. “It’s fine;
being friends is good too. Friends are forever, unlike your rtion with Jonathan.”
Estellé nodded firmly. “Then let’s be friends for life!”
“But you have to promise me that even if you and Jonathan make up, you can’t cut me off.” Manley
said.
Estelle’s eyes were clear, and she slowly smiled, “Of course!”
Manley gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders, sighing, “What’s so great about him? Why do
you insist on going back to that situation? Look at him today; who knows how much more he’ll neglect
you? Do you know how much it hurts me?”
Estelle nced at him and asked, “And who caused this?”
Manleyughed, honestly saying, “Actually, I was hoping he would get mad and dump you again, and
then you’d wake up and realize that I’m the better choice ande running back to me.”
Estelle couldn’t help butugh; she really didn’t know how to handle Manley!
When she’s sad, he acted even more pitiful; When she scolded him, he immediately admitted his
mistake, and his sincerity left you speechless.
She took a deep breath and asked, “Are you done with your act? You’ve pissed off Jonathan; can we
go eat now? I’m starving!”
“You’re such a good sport; let’s go; I’ll treat you to a feast!” Manleyughed.
However, Estelle was really hungry and didn’t want anyvish meals. She just picked a small
restaurant and ate her fill.
Estelle was unsure of where Manley’s actions would take her rtionship with Jonathan.
Perhaps the feelings that had just started to warm up had suddenly cooled down again.
Thinking of his dark and hateful expression in the garden, Estelle felt fear. The food she had eaten
seemed to be stuck in her chest.
When they got back to Sunset Ridge, it was already 10 o’clock at night. Before Estelle got out of the
car, Manley-gripped her hand tightly, his face smiling but his eyes extremely serious. “I’m leaving
tomorrow, but even if I’m not here, you can’t go looking for Jonathan, and you can’t exin anything to
him.”
Estelle frowned. “When will your joke end?”
“I don’t care, you have to promise me!” Manley insisted, “I was tricked by him; you have to help me get
back at him; you have to stand with me.”
Estelle looked rather helpless and said, “Alright, I’ll stand with you.”
Only then did Manley smile and say, “Say hi to Emily and Kya for me. I’ve sent Kya a gift; it’ll arrive in a
few days. Remind her not to forget me.”N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
