Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Ainsley’s Finger Is Hurt Ainsley washed her hands again and turned the heat to full. She put the meat she bought in the supermarket into the water. White foam floated on the surface, and the rising heat greeted her Sweat gradually appeared on her forehead. Just as she was about to wipe the sweat away, Manuel took tissues to wipe it for her.

Ainsley said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

Manuel threw the tissues into the trash can, wiped his hands, and began to process the food.

His hands were fair and slender. The kitchen knife seemed to be a work of art in his hands, which were even fairer under the contrast of the green groceries.

Ainsley glanced at him. The feeling of him wiping sweat for her still lingered on her mind, and she couldn’t help but blush.

“Go wash the peppers, Ainsley said as she scooped the meat out of the pot.

“Alright Manuel immediately put down the knife and washed the peppers.

Ainsley took the kitchen knife and cut the food. She stared at Manuel and was absent–minded.

“Ah!”

“What’s wrong?” Manuel put down the peppers.

Ainsley covered her hand, and blood flowed out from between her fingers. She was distracted when she cut the food, so she hurt her hand “I got my finger cut.”

Manuel quickly washed his hands and handed her a tissue. “Where is the herbal tea kit?”

“It’s under the TV cabinet.”

Manuel turned off the fire and went to the TV cabinet to get the herbal tea kit. Ainsley came out of the kitchen with her hand covering her finger.

Although she was not seriously hurt, Ainsley felt a bit painful.

Manuel let her sit on the sofa, and he squatted in front of Ainsley. He first took out the disinfectant from the herbal tea kit and used a cotton swab to disinfect the cut.

“Why are you so careless?” he asked with worry.

“I was distracted.” When her finger touched the disinfectant, Ainsley felt the burning pain and shrank back, but she was pulled back by Manuel.

“What was on your mind? Manuel’s voice was charming.

Ainsley did not say anything. She could not say that she was looking at him.

Manuel put the waterproof band–aid on her finger and put the herbal tea kit under the TV cabinet.

“Sit here. Il cook.”

Ainsley’s heart pounded. Manuel had left, and she was staring at the band–aid in a daze.

She stood up and leaned against the kitchen door, watching him cook, but she was thinking how shocking others would be if they knew that Manuel had cooked for her.

Serina should have been scared when she was in the supermarket. She was reading her comic book and didn’t notice what had happened between Manuel and Ainsley.

Fortunately, Serina did not come over. Ainsley was not sure if Serina would be scared again after seeing the blood.

In the kitchen, Manuel focused on processing the food. Ainsley suddenly wanted to see how Manuel worked in the office, Manuel suddenly turned around and smiled at her, “Do you like to see me so much?”

“No. I’m afraid you don’t know how to cook,” Ainsley said “Alright. Then you should look at the food. Otherwise, I’m afraid that you will fall in love with me.” Manuel turned around The sweat slid down his face. When she saw his sharp jawline and graceful neckline, Ainsley couldn’t help but think of the feeling of her hugging around his neck that day.

“Do others know that you are narcissistic?”

“No, only you.”

Cason stayed in the parking lot for a long time and didn’t mean to get out of the car He lit a cigarette, and the burning butt was dim in the car.

He had to admit that when he saw Manuel just now, he felt uncomfortable. Cason did not like Ainsley, but why did he feel this way?

Cason thought that he must be out of his mind to think of buying deserts.

After blowing out a stream of smoke, he picked up the box and went home.

Kaliyah had been waiting for him for a long time. What she got in return were the document in Cason’s hand and the desserts She was very excited when she saw the brand name on the bag.

“You went to buy the dessert? I heard of the dessert shop before, but I have never had the chance to try it. Did you buy it for me on purpose?”

Cason was embarrassed. He didn’t, but he still nodded. “If you like it, I’ll take you with me next time.”

“Great.” Kaliyah put down the box, and Cason went upstairs.

She opened the bag sweetly and thought that all her worries were unnecessary. Cason loved her as before.

But when she saw the scald ointment at the bottom, Kaliyah was shocked.

She didn’t know why there was scald ointment in the box.

She suddenly thought of Ainsley, who was burned by the boiling water in the Psychology Quiz Show. She squeezed the ointment in her hand tightly.

It’s her again! Kaliyah thought.

The ointment was not for her. Even the dessert was not for her. It was for Ainsley!

But Cason brought it home, which meant that he didn’t succeed in giving the desserts to Ainsley.

The dessert emitted a rich fragrance. She did not have any appetite right now. Kaliyah did not want the trash that Ainsley did not want.

She threw the dessert and the ointment into the trash can.

Kaliyah calmed herself down and brought a cup of tea to Cason.

After dinner, Ainsley wanted to clean up the dishes but was stopped by Manuel. He pointed at her hand and said in a low voice, “Let me do it.”

Seeing his affectionate gaze, Ainsley avoided his gaze and did not insist.

Ainsley sat on the sofa, the TV was turned on, but she did not know what the TV was broadcasting. She was uneasy.

She and Manuel were getting closer and closer, and it had crossed the line. She thought that Manuel only treated her as Serina’s psychologist.

But why would Manuel care so much about Serina’s psychologist? If it was a coincidence that Manuel would appear when she needed him, then she couldn’t be sure of what he felt for her.

Her face was red, and her mind was full of Manuel, who had treated the cut for her, cooked for her, made herbal tea for her, and once hugged her.

Even if she was trying to convince herself to recognize the gap between them, she couldn’t control her feelings.

And she thought that perhaps Manuel also felt the same as her.

She shouldn’t think that way. Manuel was from a rich family in Seattle and was powerful.

Although she didn’t care about the discussions at the banquet that day, she had heard them.

“The Gage family is definitely better than the Baldry family. That woman climbs the family ladder.”

“How can the Gage family tolerate this kind of woman? Mr. Gage is just for fun. He doesn’t really like her. Don’t take it seriously.”

“What are you thinking about? Hurry up and take the herbal tea.”

Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)

Chapter 89 Love’s Change of Heart Chapter 872 Manuel pushed a cup of herbal tea to her hand.

The faint smell of the herbal tea was bitter. It was her herbal tea.

Ainsley came back to her senses and looked at the herbal tea in front of her. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” Manuel smiled.

Ainsley took a sip and felt the bitterness. These days, Manuel made herbal tea for her.

“Does anyone know that you are so good at making herbal tea?” Ainsley took a sip of herbal tea.

Manuel smiled, “Who else can make me make herbal tea other than you?”
