Chapter 187 Invite the Person You Like âItâs beautiful.â After saying that, Ainsley went back to silence. She looked out the window in a daze until they arrived at Matteoâs place.
The Bentley continued to move along the road. Serina looked at Manuel worriedly and asked, âManuel, is Ainsley angry with me?â
Just now, Ainsley was stony and didnât chat with her.
Manuel patted her head and comforted her, âAinsley wonât be angry with you. She just doesnât want to see me.â
While saying that, his eyes were covered with sadness, and he pursed his thin lips.
Serina could tell Manuel was disappointed, but the current situation was beyond her control. She had thought that Ainsley would forgive Manuel after watching the fireworks, but her thought was too simple.
Ainsley must have felt incredibly aggrieved, so she was angry with Manuel. Serina patted Manuelâs arm as she pouted, âManuel, hurry up and pursue Ainsley back!â
Serina could feel Manuelâs disappointment in the past few days, and she knew Ainsley was also unhappy. How could two people who love each other end up like this?
Ainsley returned home, and she couldnât stop thinking about the fireworks and what Manuel had said to her.
She didnât know whether what Manuel said was true or not.
She knew how powerful Irene was. She could use Gwendolyn to kill someone and escape unscathed.
Matteo had just returned home. He placed the fruit on the coffee table and asked, âAisy, did you just come back?â
Ainsley nodded. She was still thinking about what had just happened. This was probably why Matteo had not allowed her to get close to Irene.
Matteo pointed at the fruit and said, âI just brought some fruit from the supermarket. Remember to eat some.â
He put down his briefcase, took off his suit jacket, and sat beside Ainsley, asking, âAisy, your birthday is coming soon. What present do you want?â
Her birthday?
Ainsley was in a trance. When her parents were still alive, she celebrated her birthday every year, but she stopped doing that since she married Cason.
It was really ironic. She would try her best to hold a birthday party for Cason, Kaitlin, and Lindsay every year, but none of them remembered her birthday.
Seeing that Ainsley was still in a daze, Matteo asked, âAisy, what are you thinking about?â
Ainsley said, âMatteo, I donât want to make a big deal about that. Too many things have happened recently, and I donât want to hear more comments from others. It would be nice to invite a few good friends and celebrating at home would be nice.â
Matteo knew there were some serious rumors and malicious speculations about Ainsley on the Internet recently. So he wanted to hold a grand birthday party for her to show everyone that Ainsley was a family member and that he wouldnât allow anyone to bully him.
But Ainsley was right. Hearing those disgusting comments would only make Ainsley feel bad. There was no need to let those irrelevant people ruin Ainsleyâs mood.
However, looking at the sadness in Ainsleyâs eyes, Matteo pursed his lips and said, âYouâve been very depressed these days. Okay, you can have a birthday party you want and invite the person you like.â
Ainsleyâs heart ski**ed a beat. Even though Matteo did not say it explicitly, she knew he was referring to Manuel.
She shook her head and said with a bitter smile, âMatteo, Iâll invite all the people who should be invited, and thereâs no need to invite those who didnât deserve it.â
Matteo hesitated and said, âItâs your call.â
Ainsley turned to watch the news on the TV again, and she suddenly thought of the photo. She couldnât get any information from Serina, but maybe Matteo knew something.
She quickly took out the photo from her bag, placed it in front of Matteo, and said, âMatteo, take a look at this.â
you Matteo curiously took the photo, but his expression was frozen when he saw the people on it. He tightened his hand, tried to pretend to be calm, and asked, âAisy, why did carry the photo of you and Serina?â
âMatteo, canât you tell that?â Ainsley slightly squinted at him and asked.
âIsnât this just an ordinary photo?â Matteo said, returning the photo to her.
Ainsley shook her head and said seriously, âMatteo, youâre lying. You know this photo. was not taken recently. Two days ago, when I had nothing to do, I returned to the old house and found this photo. But Iâve only known Serina for a year, and I havenât returned to the old house for a long time, and the last time I went back was before I got married.
to Cason. This means that this photo was taken at least three years ago. I was livelier and younger in the photo than I am now. So did I know Serina before?â
Matteo was taken aback and hurriedly said, âNo. Thereâs no way you knew her before.â
Matteo lowered his eyes to avoid Ainsleyâs gaze and continued, âAisy, perhaps you didnât.
remember it clearly. We didnât have much contact with the Gage family three years ago, so how could you...â
Matteo didnât finish his words.
Ainsley had been staring at Matteo and could see the panic in his eyes. Ever since.
Matteo had asked her to stay away from Manuel, she had been suspicious that something must have happened before. Otherwise, why would Manuel and Matteo seem to have been hiding something?
However, Ainsley didnât remember anything about Manuel and Serina, so what were they hiding?
âMatteo, did something happen three years ago?â Ainsley suddenly asked.
Matteo felt a chill and replied in a low voice, âNo. Aisy, donât overthink it. Itâs just a photo.
I have something to do and shall go to my study.â
After that, Matteo took his briefcase and went upstairs.
Watching Matteo leave in a hurry, Ainsley felt that he was avoiding her. The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became, and she felt he was hiding something.
The next day, Manuel came to the Psychological Counseling Room again when Ainsley was busy with her thesis.
Ainsley had no choice but to turn off her computer and let him in. Recently, Manuel had been visiting more and more frequently.
âMr. Gage, according to my observation, I think thereâs nothing wrong with your men**ity. You donât need to come here,â Ainsley said coldly.
Manuel sat in front of her casually, tapped lightly on the table, and said, âMs. Easton, my heart still hurts.â
âThis is a normal phenomenon after ending a relationship. I suggest that you stop contacting your ex-girlfriend. The more you see her, the more pain you will feel.â Ainsley was talking not only about Manuel but also herself.
Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
ï¤Chapter 186 Loveâs Change of Heart ï¤Chapter 872 Manuel turned a deaf ear to it and said, âBut itâs different from what Iâm thinking. Iâll really go crazy if I donât come to you.â
âIt wonât be easy to get rid of an addiction,â Ainsley said.
