Chapter 186 Firework Show
Manuel followed Ainsley out and handed the bag of dessert to her while saying, “This is
for you.”
After that, Manuel returned to his car and drove away, feeling a little depressed.
When Ainsley got off work the next evening, Serina showed up and asked, “Ainsley, are you free tonight?”
“Where do you want to go?” Ainsley asked curiously.
Serina did not answer her. Instead, she pulled Ainsley into the car waiting outside the school. Ainsley heaved a sigh of relief when seeing that it was not Manuel who had come to pick Serina up.
The black Bentley was heading toward the suburbs, getting farther and farther away from the city. Ainsley felt something was not right, while Serina was so excited that she couldn’t help snickering.
The car stopped on a hill. Serina pulled Ainsley out of the car and said, “Ainsley, look at how beautiful the sunset is here.”
Ainsley looked in the direction that Serina pointed.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Ainsley’s cheeks, covering her face in a rosy light. Her eyes sparkled with a pink, gentle light.
Although the mountain was not very high, she could still see the sunset glow covering
the whole of Seattle.
As the sun set, the darkness gradually invaded. The lights in Seattle seemed to turn on in an instant. The whole of Seattle looked like a shining miniature world, and she was the
audience.
Serina stood beside her with a proud smile and said, “Ainsley, is that beautiful?”
Ainsley nodded and said with a smile, “It’s very beautiful. I haven’t seen a sunset like this
for a long time.”
The last time she saw such a beautiful sunset glow was when she was on vacation.
Back then, she was still together with Manuel.
The last ray of sunset faded away, leaving only a grey sky, and a moon with faint light
rose from the east.
As the night fell, the temperature suddenly dropped. Ainsley asked with a faint depression, “Shall we go back? The sun had fallen.”
Serina shook her head, led Ainsley to the other side, and exclaimed, “There’s still something I want to show you. Look over there!”
Boom! Boom! With a few loud explosions, colored rays of light rose from the ground, exploding in the air and illuminating the sky. Ainsley raised her head to look at the
firework, and could not help smiling.
“Fireworks exploded in the dark, forming a dazzling and
dream-like beauty.”
Suddenly, someone covered a coat on Ainsley’s back, and the familiar smell of cedar
made her spellbound.
Ainsley turned around and found Serina had left, and Manuel was standing behind her. It
had only been a few days since they last met, but Manuel’s eyes were no longer as bright
and confident as before, and he looked in a deep sense of depression.
Manuel wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked gentle and calm. He asked in a
h**se voice, “Do you like it?” Ainsley tried her best to hold back her tears and said, “It’s
good.” Now she had known it was he who arranged this firework show. “I’m sorry,”
Manuel suddenly said. Ainsley turned back and continued to look at the fireworks,
feeling a mess in her heart, and said, “What are you sorry about?”
“I’m sorry for what happened before,” Manuel said solemnly.
Ainsley smiled, ignored the sound of fireworks, and continued, “We’ve parted peacefully, so there’s nothing to be sorry about. Your fireworks are beautiful.”
Manuel said with a hurt expression, “Did we really break up amicably? Ainsley, I don’t want it to end like that.”
“Irene has talked to me. You two are childhood sweethearts, and I don’t want to be
someone sabotaging the relationship.” Ainsley said, thinking of Kaliyah.
Manuel’s face was gloomy. Suddenly, a loud bang sounded in the sky, and he said, “This is a new product that hasn’t been put into production yet.”
