Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason) novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456 Childish

Ainsley was speechless. She wondered who bought them and would like to deduct the employee’s salary.

“You are the only one who gave me an apple.” Manuel finally looked up.

“How is that possible? Didn’t you have Christmas before?” Ainsley was puzzled.

“A large number of people want to give me gifts every Christmas, but I always ask my assistant to return the gifts without unpacking a

single one”

“How pitiful!”

If Serina were here, she would say, “Not at all! Could it be I give the apples to a dog every Christmas?”

“Aisy. I’m so happy today.”

“You’ve only been here for a few minutes. What are you happy about? Wait a minute! Don’t say cheesy pick-up lines!” Ainsley was

shocked

Roman leisurely walked over. “Mr. Gage, tell her the notes I wrote for you! It’s much better than those pick-up lines.”

Lainey cheered from the side, “Good idea! Roman is the best at sweet words.”

Ainsley patted her forehead. Lainey was incorrigible!

“I don’t intend to say sweet words. I was just happy to see you,” Manuel explained.

The noise fell silent again, and a man walked back with a woman on his back at the door.

Manuel was angry at first glance. He walked over and took Serina from the man.

After putting Serina down, Manuel found she was limping. “What’s wrong with your foot?”

“I accidentally kicked a stone when I was walking. He carried me here.”

Manuel looked at the man again. Miles’ outfit was so strange compared to the glamorous and beautiful clothes of the people in the

room.

“Thank you, sir. Sorry for the trouble.”

“Not at all. Don’t mention it, Mr. Gage.”

“Do you know me?” Manuel’s eyes flashed a a trace of sharpness.

“Mr. Gage of Seattle, I’ve always seen you on TV. I finally met you in person this time. It would be strange if I didn’t know you,” Miles

said

Serina immediately pulled Manuel’s arm. “Manuel, don’t be like interrogating a criminal. Miles is nice.”

Who?

Lainey looked over with bright eyes. After a while, she reacted to what Serina had just said. She glared at the wrapped-up Miles instantly as if she wanted to see him through the glasses and mask.

“Miles?”

Serina immediately signaled her not to say it. “Lainey, he’s indeed Miles. I didn’t know him at first. Later, I searched on the phone and found his photos. It’s indeed him. But he can’t show his face here. Don’t tell others, and don’t be too excited”

“No problem!” Lainey nodded frantically.

Roman came over and held Lainey in his arms. He said jealously, “He doesn’t look that handsome. He’s not even one-third as handsome as me.”

Serina laughed happily. She quickly signaled Lainey with her eyes, “Let’s go to have fun, Lainey. Ainsley must be busy. Manuel, you will accompany her, won’t you?”

“Let’s go there.” Lainey pulled Roman away from Ainsley and Manuel.

Ainsley had long seen through Serina’s thoughts, but with so many people present, it wasn’t proper for her to leave.

“Crunch.”

A crisp sound came from the side of her ear. Ainsley looked over and found Manuel eating the apple she had just given him.

“Don’t eat,” Ainsley suddenly said.

“Why? Isn’t the apple supposed to be eaten on Christmas Eve?” Manuel asked.

“Continue.” Ainsley turned around. There were ginger cookies on the table. She randomly placed some on her plate and two more

pieces of pastries.

However, Manuel walked over to her again and looked into her eyes. “Watch me eat.”

Ainsley resisted the urge

watch you eat an apple?”

throw the plate in her hand at his face. She gritted her teeth and said, “Are you a child who needs me to

Why had she never realized Manuel was so childish in the past?

Manuel’s lips were wet from the apple juice. Ainsley swallowed.

She said, “I have to go.”

“Is it that hard to say you want to kiss me?”

“Who wants to kiss you? ***!” Ainsley unconsciously raised her voice, and a few pairs of eyes were cast on her.

She immediately lowered her voice, “Narcissist.”

Ainsley didn’t know what to do with him. Right at this time, Matteo walked over. She walked toward him, wanting to ask for help.

Matteo hated Manuel the most and might drive him out.

But to Ainsley’s surprise, Matteo did not say anything but talk about business.

“Are you ready for that? The bidding will be held the day after tomorrow. I hope nothing goes wrong,” Matteo said solemnly.

Manuel nodded and took another bite of the apple. “Have you read the tender book I sent over? Although I helped you this time, it is

not enough to convince those old ***.”

“Rest assured. Don’t underestimate the Easton Group and me.”

“Crunch.”

Matteo frowned slightly. “Can you stop eating the apple at this time? It looks **. Aren’t you afraid the reporters will photo you and

put it online?”

“It’s the apple Aisy gave me.” Manuel shrugged.
