Chapter 456
Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
Chapter 456 Childish Ainsley was speechless. She wondered who bought them and would like to deduct the employeeâs salary.
âYou are the only one who gave me an apple.â Manuel finally looked up.
âHow is that possible? Didnât you have Christmas before?â Ainsley was puzzled.
âA large number of people want to give me gifts every Christmas, but I always ask my assistant to return the gifts without unpacking a single oneâ
âHow pitiful!â
If Serina were here, she would say, âNot at all! Could it be I give the apples to a dog every Christmas?â
âAisy. Iâm so happy today.â
âYouâve only been here for a few minutes. What are you happy about? Wait a minute! Donât say cheesy pick-up lines!â Ainsley was shocked Roman leisurely walked over. âMr. Gage, tell her the notes I wrote for you! Itâs much better than those pick-up lines.â
Lainey cheered from the side, âGood idea! Roman is the best at sweet words.â
Ainsley patted her forehead. Lainey was incorrigible!
âI donât intend to say sweet words. I was just happy to see you,â Manuel explained.
The noise fell silent again, and a man walked back with a woman on his back at the door.
Manuel was angry at first glance. He walked over and took Serina from the man.
After putting Serina down, Manuel found she was limping. âWhatâs wrong with your foot?â
âI accidentally kicked a stone when I was walking. He carried me here.â
Manuel looked at the man again. Milesâ outfit was so strange compared to the glamorous and beautiful clothes of the people in the room.
âThank you, sir. Sorry for the trouble.â
âNot at all. Donât mention it, Mr. Gage.â
âDo you know me?â Manuelâs eyes flashed a a trace of sharpness.
âMr. Gage of Seattle, Iâve always seen you on TV. I finally met you in person this time. It would be strange if I didnât know you,â Miles said Serina immediately pulled Manuelâs arm. âManuel, donât be like interrogating a criminal. Miles is nice.â
Who?
Lainey looked over with bright eyes. After a while, she reacted to what Serina had just said. She glared at the wrapped-up Miles instantly as if she wanted to see him through the glasses and mask.
âMiles?â
Serina immediately signaled her not to say it. âLainey, heâs indeed Miles. I didnât know him at first. Later, I searched on the phone and found his photos. Itâs indeed him. But he canât show his face here. Donât tell others, and donât be too excitedâ
âNo problem!â Lainey nodded frantically.
Roman came over and held Lainey in his arms. He said jealously, âHe doesnât look that handsome. Heâs not even one-third as handsome as me.â
Serina laughed happily. She quickly signaled Lainey with her eyes, âLetâs go to have fun, Lainey. Ainsley must be busy. Manuel, you will accompany her, wonât you?â
âLetâs go there.â Lainey pulled Roman away from Ainsley and Manuel.
Ainsley had long seen through Serinaâs thoughts, but with so many people present, it wasnât proper for her to leave.
âCrunch.â
A crisp sound came from the side of her ear. Ainsley looked over and found Manuel eating the apple she had just given him.
âDonât eat,â Ainsley suddenly said.
âWhy? Isnât the apple supposed to be eaten on Christmas Eve?â Manuel asked.
âContinue.â Ainsley turned around. There were ginger cookies on the table. She randomly placed some on her plate and two more pieces of pastries.
However, Manuel walked over to her again and looked into her eyes. âWatch me eat.â
Ainsley resisted the urge watch you eat an apple?â
throw the plate in her hand at his face. She gritted her teeth and said, âAre you a child who needs me to Why had she never realized Manuel was so childish in the past?
Manuelâs lips were wet from the apple juice. Ainsley swallowed.
She said, âI have to go.â
âIs it that hard to say you want to kiss me?â
âWho wants to kiss you? ***!â Ainsley unconsciously raised her voice, and a few pairs of eyes were cast on her.
She immediately lowered her voice, âNarcissist.â
Ainsley didnât know what to do with him. Right at this time, Matteo walked over. She walked toward him, wanting to ask for help.
Matteo hated Manuel the most and might drive him out.
But to Ainsleyâs surprise, Matteo did not say anything but talk about business.
âAre you ready for that? The bidding will be held the day after tomorrow. I hope nothing goes wrong,â Matteo said solemnly.
Manuel nodded and took another bite of the apple. âHave you read the tender book I sent over? Although I helped you this time, it is not enough to convince those old ***.â
âRest assured. Donât underestimate the Easton Group and me.â
âCrunch.â
Matteo frowned slightly. âCan you stop eating the apple at this time? It looks **. Arenât you afraid the reporters will photo you and put it online?â
âItâs the apple Aisy gave me.â Manuel shrugged.
âYou didnât give an apple to me. Matteo turned to look at Ainsley with a gloomy expression.
âHuh?â Ainsley asked in disbelief. âIs it time to talk about this?â
Manuel pointed to the table next to him. âShe casually took one from there and gave it to me.â
âThen Iâm in a better mood.â Matteo finally restrained his anger.
âYou knew it, but why do you still eat it?â Ainsley looked at Manuel unpleasantly âWell, thatâs because you were the one who handed it to me.â Manuel looked at Ainsley with a smile.
Ainsley got goosebumps. She wondered if there was anything useful in the notes that Roman had given him apart from these greasy words.
âMatteo, you have changed. You wanted to strangle him to death when you saw him. But now, you talk to him peacefully.â Ainsley always felt there was a conspiracy between them.
Matteo smiled, âFor a common goal. Iâll strangle him to death when itâs fulfilled.â
âPlease think about this when you strangle me to death, Mr. Easton. Now, we share the same enemy. Show mercy.â
Matteo and Manuel talked back and forth. Ainsley was full of doubts but didnât know where to start, so she just ignored them.
Suddenly, the light in the hall was extinguished, and even the big screen at the back was turned off. Some people had screamed.
Ainsley glanced at Matteo not far away, whose eyes were also full of doubts. She was just about to find the manager when she saw Matteo had gone to do that.

ï¤Chapter 455 Loveâs Change of Heart ï¤Chapter 872 Serina was so scared that her face turned pale. She had been too far away from Ainsley to eat delicious food, and only Miles was beside her.
Her trembling hands almost could not hold the glass. Serina nervously pinched the corner of Milesâ clothes.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Miles asked with concern.
âThe... the electricity is off. Iâm afraid of the dark.â Serinaâs voice trembled.
