Chapter 550 I Hope You Keep Your Word
Daniel pulled Ainsley's hand from Manuel's and held her hand firmly.
No one had thought that Ainsley would choose Daniel, including Aaden, who was surrounded by the bodyguards. To his surprise, between Manuel and Daniel, she chose Daniel.
In the car, Ainsley sat in the back row with a sullen expression.
Daniel was overjoyed. Yet such a feeling didn't last long before Ainsley killed the mood.
"You don't think I chose you because I like you, do you?" Ainsley said coldly. "It's only because I hate Manuel. The sight of him gives me a strange feeling that makes me unable to sit still."
She glanced at Daniel and continued, "As for you, I have always hated you, so it doesn't matter whether I hate you or hate you even more."
The smile on Daniel's lips disappeared, and he clenched his fists.
In the other car, Manuel was also sitting in the back row. The driver was driving, and Roman was sitting in the passenger seat, feeling the cold air in the car.
"Mr. Gage, where is Ms. Easton?" Roman asked.
The driver shivered and glanced deeply at Roman, thinking, how come you always manage to say the wrong thing?
Sensing the driver’s pitiful gaze, Roman immediately covered his mouth and realized something.
"She went back with Daniel," Manuel said.
Roman widened his eyes in shock. He found it hard to accept such a fact. How could Ainsley go back with Daniel?
Shouldn't she take the opportunity to just leave Daniel?
Yet no matter how shocked he was, it wouldn't change the fact. Manuel's face was gloomy.
There was nothing worse than watching someone one loved getting into someone else's car. Manuel wished he could grab Ainsley's arm and shove her into his car.
As expected, in less than half an hour, Matteo called.
"Where's Aisy?"
Manuel was depressed again. "It's my fault. I didn't bring her back. She left with Daniel."
"You didn't hold onto such a rare opportunity? Why would she leave with Daniel?" Matteo was confused.
Manuel continued, "I probably underestimated her dislike of me and overestimated my capabilities."
Manuel told Matteo what had happened, and the latter realized that it was Ainsley's choice.
"Manuel, I know Aisy. This is not something she would do. I'm sure she is onto something," Matteo said.
Hearing his words, Manuel recalled that Ainsley's eyes had been flickering. She probably indeed found something.
"Did she want to deal with Daniel in her own way?" Manuel opened his eyes wide.
"It may be the only possibility," Matteo agreed.
After a while, Roman looked at Manuel, wanting to say something.
Manuel noticed his gaze. "Roman, what's wrong?"
"Can I take a day off?"
"You want to see Ms. Salter?" Manuel immediately knew the reason.
