Henry left.
Susan still couldn't get over it. She knew she had just done the cruellest thing in the world.
Tears welled up in her eyes when she saw Henry leave. Manuel let go of her but she didn't go for Henry.
Manuel was right. She must be determined if she decided to break up with Henry.
She turned around to look at Manuel, who happened to look at her. Their eyes met. At that moment, their hid emotions seemed to be triggered.
Susan smiled lightly with tears, for she didn't expect Manuel would still love her and take her back. She thought she had missed the chance to be with him. Manuel wiped her tears with his slender finger and put it to his mouth. The tears tasted a little salty.
Susan was surprised to see that Manuel tasted her tears.
"It's fine. Don't cry." He put down his hand and said lightly with dear love.
Susan wiped her tears. She just couldn't help crying.
"I think you don't love me any more." She said.
Manuel smiled and said nothing. At that time, Susan felt his love. He still loved her.
"I'll help you get rid of Henry."
" I'll help you get rid of him if you want to break up with him." Repeated Manuel.
"What are you gonna do with him?" asked Susan anxiously.
"Nothing." Manuel smiled and said, "I'll make him leave you willingly."
"But..."
"No worries. I won't do anything against the law." Manuel said, "Henry will leave you willingly."
Susan doubted it because she thought Henry won't let her go easily since he had been so mad and upset.
"I'll take care of it." Manuel stroke her hair comfortingly.
Suddenly, Susan had a crush. It occurred to her that she hadn't stopped loving Manuel, but had hidden her feelings all the time.
"Take it easy. Good night." Manuel said.
"Are you leaving?" Susan saw him leaving and asked.
"Or you want me to stay?" Manuel asked her back.
Susan was red in the face.
She did not know what would have happened if they hadn't been interrupted by Henry.
She did not know whether she had the courage to cheat on Henry and bed Manuel.
However, at this moment, she knew clearly that she didn't want him to leave. She couldn't bear to part with him, as if they were two deep in love.
