Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason) novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Manuel’s Female Companion

Ainsley was a little surprised. Manuel’s fingers were long and slender. His cigarette butt was flickering. She even didn’t notice the

smile in her eyes.

“Mr. Gage, what brought you here?”

“I’m here for you.” Manuel spat out the last puff and extinguished the cigarette butt.

“For me?” Ainsley was slightly stunned.

Manuel nodded and handed her the invitation, which she declined when Serina gave it to her.

“Ms. Easton, I came this time to invite you to our family’s banquet. You said before that you owed me a favor. I thought about it and decided to invite you as my female companion. If you don’t want to, it’s okay.”

Manuel’s voice was slightly ***, and his deep eyes flickered with a faint smile.

Ainsley took the invitation, her fingertips becoming warm.

After she turned Serina’s invitation down, she regretted doing so. When did she care so much about other people’s opinions?

Moreover, it was not anything shameful, so there was no need to hide deliberately.

“Ms. Easton?” The warm breath brushed her cheeks, and Ainsley subconsciously looked up. Manuel’s face was close to the tip of her nose. They seemed to nuzzle each other the next moment. Manuel’s eyes were lazy and gentle.

Ainsley felt her face blush, thinking that he wouldn’t notice it due to the dark night. She held the invitation tightly and hurriedly took a

few steps back. “Mr. Gage, I will attend the banquet.”

“Then I will wait for you, Ms. Easton,” Manuel said softly. He looked at Ainsley’s red cheeks and curled his lips into a smile.

Ainsley nodded and immediately turned around, going into the apartment building with the invitation.

Manuel stared at her back, his eyes full of tenderness.

When Manuel returned home and went upstairs, Serina rushed over. “Manuel? How is it? Did she agree?”

“Yes, she did,” Manuel smiled.

“Yeah! Ainsley agreed, but…” She looked at Manuel excitedly and said, “Manuel, you have to work harder! Hurry up and marry Ainsley!”

On the day of the banquet, Ainsley took out a formal dress from the wardrobe. She usually dressed casually and rarely wore expensive

clothes.

She stared at herself in the mirror. Perhaps an occasional exception was good.

Ainsley’s facial features were typical of American beauty. Her thick eyebrows and watery eyes were like those of a movie star.

She was wearing a milk-white dress with pearls embroidered on the side. She looked ***in the designer dress. Her skin was fair,

and she looked like a princess in the white dress.

She did not wear much jewelry. She only wore a dark green bracelet on her wrist and green-gemstone earrings.

However, her makeup was bold, with her lips painted the brightest red.

When her phone rang, she was picking up a hat. As she saw Manuel’s phone number, she answered the phone, “Hello?”

“I’ll wait for you downstairs.” Manuel’s voice was filled with anticipation. He was curious as to how Ainsley would dress today.

“Coming,” Ainsley answered softly and hurriedly hung up the phone. She walked to the door and put on the scallop hat. The white gauze covered half of her beautiful face.

When Manuel saw her come out, his eyes lit up. Ainsley looked beautiful and elegant.
