Chapter 331 The Timing Is Not Right
The next day, after a night of rain, the entire courtyard was washed by the rain. The waterline.
reached the calves.
Ainsley slept the whole night. When she woke up, her head was dizzy and painful. Her eyes were
swollen like two light bulbs.
“It hurts so much…” Ainsley touched her eyes.
She rubbed her aching head and suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday.
She remembered the roof that should have been repaired by Chad was still leaking. Chad had done
it on purpose, but when she was in a trance, she felt someone appear and carry her away.
No!
Where is this?
She didn’t even know where she was. It was a bright room, and it looked neat. It didn’t look like a
room in the village.
While she was wondering, the door of the room was opened, and Manuel came in with a plate.
She suddenly remembered Manuel was the one who carried her away last night because she
smelled the faint cedar.
“You’re awake? Drink this first.” Manuel placed the plate in front of her and said softly.
Ainsley took the plate. It could help her heal.
After drinking half the soup, she finally felt better. Only then did the pain in her abdomen ease a
little.
“Thank you.” Her face was pale, and her voice was dry.
“Sorry, I was late.” Manuel stared at her worriedly.
Ainsley shook her head. “Mr. Gage, you don’t have to be like this. I neglected you. It’s not your fault.”
Manuel said in a deep voice, “But I said I would protect you.”
Ainsley was puzzled. Why did those words sound so familiar?
Last night, she seemed to have said that. “Manuel, you lied to me. You and she are engaged…
“You are childhood sweethearts. I should not have known you…”
Heavens, what did I say?
Ainsley’s face was red. She used the plate to cover her face. Although she had wanted to say that
for a long time, she shouldn’t have really said it.
“Kaff! Kaff!” Because she drank the soup too quickly, she coughed violently.
“Drink slowly,” Manuel said, patting her back.
“Mr. Gage, you are going to be engaged soon. This is not appropriate.” Ainsley immediately
retreated and looked at Manuel coldly.
“Okay, I won’t touch you. Why are you here?” he asked with concern.
“There is a large factory in Ocala. It was set up by my father when he was young. Now that there is
a big problem with the factory, I can’t just watch as my father’s life’s work slowly disappears. At
least, if the factory is reserved, I still have some memories.”
She raised her head. “What about you?” Why had she seen him with Chad that day?
“I came to investigate something. Now…”
“You can’t say it again? The timing is not right yet?” Ainsley said sarcastically.
“I’m sorry, Ainsley. Do you believe me? It won’t be long before I tell you everything.” Manuel lowered his eyes in ***.
“Forget it. You’re Irene’s fiancé. I don’t have the right to listen to this. You should tell her.” Ainsley
shook her head with resistance.
She put the empty plate on the table and flipped out of bed.
“Where are you going?” Manuel frowned slightly.
“Of course, I’m going back! I have to go to the factory.”
Ainsley guessed Chad might have been instructed by Robert to do this. Only by returning to the factory could she figure everything out.
“Your health won’t allow it,” Manuel stopped her with a long face.
“Manuel, why didn’t you come and tell me that when I was tied up and drenched in the rain? In fact,
every time I was in trouble, you weren’t there.” Ainsley gently pushed him away.
Manuel was sad to hear that. He had never thought about that.
Indeed, he was the least qualified to stop Ainsley.
At eight o’clock in the morning, the Morton family woke up.
After the door was opened, what was in the courtyard was scary. The courtyard seemed to be
submerged in water.
Everything was soaked in water. Gwyneth first wondered how much money it would cost to repair
these things. Hamlin’s first thought was that the crops would be drowned by the water, but his first
reaction was to go to the pigsty to check on the pigs.
But there was so much water, so he could not get through.
The shabby house was separated on the other side of the courtyard. At this ***, the small
house collapsed.
A delighted look touched Chad’s eyes. If the girl died in a natural disaster, no one in the village would make them take responsibility.
Gwyneth was a little shocked. She quickly walked to the ruins, wanting to clean up the mess.
-Hamlin seemed much calmer. He slowly squatted down and looked at the ruined house that was
washed by the water. He said lightly, “It’s useless. She should have died a long time ago.”
Judging from the wreckage of the house, it should have collapsed in the middle of the night.
The reason why he couldn’t hear the sound was probably that it was drowned by the thunder.
The thunder from yesterday resounded throughout the entire night. He had never seen such loud thunder in decades. Perhaps, the sound of the house collapsing was mixed with the dense and
violent thunder.
