Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 818

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 relationship. She hinted that she would allow them to have a relationship. 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 according 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 relationship. 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 glass, Susan raised a toast to Justine. Glancing at Susan, Justine accepted it. After drinking a whole glass 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 glasses, "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 glass of lemonade. Seeing Susan finish the wine and put down the glass, 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.
