    Chapter818 Justine’s Kindness


    "It''s the same," Justine said. With tightened lips, Manuel didn''t retort. Justine looked at her son, with a


    slight smile on her face. She asked Manuel and Susan to have dinner with her tonight to tell Manuel


    that she wouldn''t interfere with their rtionship. She hinted that she would allow them to have a


    rtionship. But it seemed that Manuel and Susan had drifted apart. Especially, Susan, she was so


    indifferent to Manuel now. It made Justine confused, and she didn''t know whether they can get back


    together or not. But ording to her son''s reaction, she believed that they could fall in love with each


    other again.


    "No, no, no. It''s different." Susan answered quickly. She thought that she wouldn''t start a family with


    Manuel. How could their children be the same? Then she guessed that maybe Justine was telling her


    that she could take care of two children at the same time. Justine looked askance at Susan, thinking


    that if she was half as clever as Hannah, she could lead a better life. When Justine was about to make


    it clear, Manuel interrupted her, "Mum."


    Justine looked at her son.


    "Have more. You must be tired recently since you need to take care of Edward." Manuel said coolly.


    Justine pressed her lips. She didn''t intend to interfere with their rtionship. She thought that Susan


    was not right for Manuel in the past and thus she disagreed with their being together. However, Susan


    had changed a lot, which made Justine change her opinion.


    "Thank you for taking care of my dad." Susan echoed quickly. "Let me propose a toast to you." Taking


    up the red wine ss, Susan raised a toast to Justine. ncing at Susan, Justine epted it. After


    drinking a whole ss of wine, Susan had mixed feelings. She didn''t know when she began to be


    afraid of Manuel. Even a glimpse of him would scare her. However, she got up the courage and raised


    her sses, "President, A toast to you."


    Manuel was having steak gracefully. Susan continued, "I know I am not clever. I always cause you


    trouble, which makes you dissatisfied with my work. Thank you for your tolerance. I am grateful that I


    can work at Phillips Bank. Words can''t express my gratitude. Anyway, let me propose a toast to you. I


    will work harder from now on."


    Manuel gazed at her for a while, which frightened Susan a little. But Susan thought that she didn''t


    make trouble and didn''t say anything wrong just now, feeling extremely nervous. Manuel said lightly, "I


    don''t drink."


    Susan was quite embarrassed. She knew that Manuel got drunk easily, but taking a sip of wine would


    not make him drunk.


    She felt like an idiot at the moment. With a bitter smile on her face, she said, "OK, I see. Then help


    yourself with more steak. I drink the wine myself."


    As soon as she finished, she drank the wine in a gulp. Since she drank the wine first, she didn''t notice


    that Manuel had put down his knife and fork and was about to take up a ss of lemonade. Seeing


    Susan finish the wine and put down the ss, Manuel stopped. Looking at their interactions, Justine


    was agitated.


    After dinner, they came out of the restaurant together. "What are you going to do next?" Justine asked


    Susan.


    "Go home," Susan answered. "I will drive home by myself. Don''t worry."


    Justine was about to nod. Manuel said, "You drank wine just now."


    Susan paused, and then she said coldly, "Just a cup of wine. I am not drunk. I am sober enough to take


    the sobriety test."


    "Are you sure?" Manuel asked. Susan was not sure about that.


    "Then what if you are arrested because of drunk driving? Are you going to ask me to help you with your


    work?" Susan didn''t know how to respond, didn''t know why he behaved like a bad man, and why he


    always uttered sharp words. Manuel always scolded her, ignoring her self-esteem.


    "I''ll drive you home," Manuel said suddenly. The depressed girl was inspired by this. She thought, "Did I


    hear that right? He is going to drive me home? Is he kidding?"


    "We are on the way." When he finished, he got into his limousine which was driven here by a parking


    attendant.


    ncing at the ck limousine and Justine, Susan walked towards the car slowly and wanted to sit in


    the backseat.


    "Sit in the passenger seat." Justine suddenly said.


    Susan paused.


    "I''m not going to sit in the passenger seat since it is usually for the bodyguard." Justine raised her


    eyebrows.


    "…" Susan had nothing to say. She regretted showing her gratitude to Justine because she made her


    angry again. However, Susan sat in the passenger seat atst. She didn''t look at Manuel in case he


    would get annoyed and asked her to sit in the backseat. Susan felt embarrassed all the time when she


    was with Manuel. Thank god, Manuel didn''t say anything and he drove his mum home first.


    Knowing that Justine lived alone, Susan couldn''t help asking her, "Would you like to live in the Phillips


    Manor with me?" Susan lived at Phillips Manor, a spacious vi, where only she and her servants live.


    She had considered asking Justine to live with her many times, but it was difficult for her to say that.


    "No." Justine rejected. Susan had expected that she would reject it.


    "Let''s talk about it next month. I don''t want to move this month." Justine added.


    Susan turned to look at her, "Do you mean you will move back to Phillips Manor to live with me next


    month?" Susan was a little excited.


    Sometimes, Justine was upset with Susan because she thought Susan was not a sessful woman.


    But asionally, she admired that Susan was still innocent and didn''t be philistine. Therefore,


    she couldn''t reject Susan''s invitation this time. "Yes." She said.


    "Early next month, I will ask the servants to carry your things and clean up a room for you in advance."


    Susan showed a positive attitude.


    "Okay." Justine nodded. Susan was very excited because she thought that her father would be very


    happy to see his wife at home when he awoke. Her father loved Justine so much. However, when


    would Edwarde to himself? She managed to hide her feelings and looked calm.


    When Justine arrived at her house, Manuel began to drive Susan home. Susan thought, "If Manuel

    didn''t move, then we are not going in the same direction." However, she didn''t ask anything because


    she was not eager to know the answer. Staying with Manuel alone in the car made her nervous. Her


    heart rate inexplicably increased. Therefore, she closed her eyes to pretend to be asleep. In this way,


    she could make herself look calm. Manuel was about to say something. But when he saw her close her


    eyes, he decided to stay silent.


    It was quiet in the car. Manuel drove to the Phillips Manor.
