Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason) novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 The Wolf and the Lying Kid

She stared at Manuel. Although they both knew the answer, she still wanted to hear it herself.

Manuel’s mouth moved slightly, but he did not say anything.

This answer was in his heart. He had wanted to say it to Ainsley countless times, but he had never opened

his mouth.

“Manuel, why don’t you answer?” Irene’s tone became crazier. She had never called Manuel so coldly.

But this time, she really couldn’t help it.

After a long time of neglect, Manuel’s special treatment of Ainsley pierced her heart, making Irene feel pain.

More than once, Irene wanted to ask Manuel about his true feelings. Even if she knew who he would choose,

she still held a trace of hope.

However, surprisingly, Manuel was silent. He did not answer. It was as if he was hiding something. Irene

sneered in his heart. Such being the case, there was nothing to hide.

“Irene, have you heard of the story of the wolf and the lying kid?” Manuel suddenly said.

Irene did not understand why he suddenly mentioned this story. “Of course.”

All the primary students would learn the story from their textbooks. Everyone knew it.

Manuel’s eyes became sharp, like sharp ***. “If I were the village chief, I would go to the wolves and kill the wolves when the kid first said the wolf came.”

“What do you mean?” Irene was shocked.

“I won’t leave any potential risk. Irene, understand?” Manuel was lying on the bed, looking pale, yet

domineering.

“Manuel, so you want to say that Ainsley is a sheep? What about me? A wolf or a kid?” Irene was not afraid of

Manuel.

Without waiting for Manuel to answer, she lowered her head and smiled. “Manuel, have you forgotten that the sheep have already been eaten once? Do you think that the sheep with a wound will return to the flock of sheep and still stay in the flock after recovering its memory?”

Manuel was stunned. This was undoubtedly his weakness.

That was right. He was afraid that Ainsley would know what had happened.

His fist was clenched tightly and then released. He relaxed a lot. “If there is no way to be safe in the cage, I will personally remove the railing and let it out.”

At this point, Irene’s expression changed again and again.

A few minutes later, she restrained her imposing manner, as if she was the young girl who worshipped. Manuel again.

“Manuel, please don’t scare me. We grew up together, and we were destined to be a couple. I don’t want to delay this any longer. When you are discharged from the hospital, let’s discuss the engagement, okay?”

Manuel narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not answer, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.

Irene knew that he would not answer her, so she went home.

At noon the next day, Irene came over with a thermos, as if nothing had happened and they hadn’t had those conversations. She put the soup on the small table.

“Manuel, the doctor said that you can leave tonight. I cooked this myself. I have never cooked. You must

finish it.”

Manuel took the plate with an expressionless face, picked up the spoon, and took a sip.

“Thank you.”

A cold light flashed in Irene’s eyes. She could hear the coldness and alienation in Manuel’s words.

However, she took out her tablet and worked by the bed. Brady was very dissatisfied with the last design. He

ordered her to finish the project before the completion of PineMist Island and make a vacation island ten

times better than PineMist Island.

The team went to the designer within a week. Luckily, the designer did not mind the episode. Instead, he

helped them to redesign.

“If you are busy, you don’t have to come to see me.” Manuel ate the soup up.

“Manuel, I’m worried if I don’t stay with you,” Irene replied and immediately continued to work.

Manuel did not say anything and looked out the window.

Two days later, in the shabby slum, more than a dozen men pushed open a shabby door. The man inside was

playing a game on an old computer, fiercely scolding his teammates. He madly typed away several keys, as if he was angry enough to crush the keyboard.
