Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason) novel Chapter 643

Chapter 643 Choosing Outfits Together

Manuel's eyes were filled with a sense of loss. He could do so much for Ainsley, but the one thing he didn't want to hear was this ’thank you," which felt distant and overly polite.

"Don't ever say those two words again," Manuel said, hurt.

Ainsley gave him a puzzled look, wondering what craziness he was up to now.

"Aisy, between us..."

"By the way, Roman, did you find anything on that USB drive?" She nervously interrupted Manuel's words, not wanting to hear any more of that.

Upon seeing Manuel's injured expression, she unexpectedly felt somewhat... moved, which was quite uncontrolled.

Roman hurriedly said, ’Not yet, I've been busy trying to find the owner of the number. I've tried the USB drive, but there's a self-destruct program set up inside, so I don't dare to mess with it for now.’

"I understand."

Upon descending the stairs, Manuel came out with them.

Matteo, being quite knowledgeable, got into the car first. Just as Ainsley was about to get in, Manuel stopped her.

"What are you going to do?"

Manuel's eyes were deep and intense, only showing a faint glimmer when he looked at Ainsley. "Aisy, you can hate me or curse me, but I don't want to see you being so distant with me. This feeling of being torn apart is even more unbearable than death."

Ainsley didn't expect him to say that. She looked down at her own toes, but instead saw Manuel's shoe, its shiny surface tainted with dust.

He has always been a meticulous man. After all, he was Mr. Gage from Seattle. Known as the "killer" in the Seattle business world, it's surprising that he would speak to her like this.

She thought she felt nothing, but the bitterness at the tip of her heart could not be ignored.

After talking with Matteo last time, she had also reflected on the situation. Indeed, her father’s death was due to lidocaine, and it wasn't directly related to Manuel. However, it was because of him that she didn't get to see her father for the last time, and she couldn't help but blame him for that.

After a moment of thought, she said coldly, "Manuel, I still need your help with the situation in Seattle. I don't hate you, but the only thing I can't forgive is probably your purpose for getting close to me."

"Sorry." Manuel lowered his eyes.

Ainsley shook her head, "No need to apologize. We can go pick out a dress tomorrow when we have time."

"Alright, I'll come pick you up at your place tomorrow," Manuel agreed cheerfully.

Ainsley turned around and walked away, and Manuel watched her receding figure with a sigh of relief. At least Ainsley was willing to go with him to pick out a gift.

On the way back, Ainsley leaned wearily on the passenger seat.

Matteo spoke wearily. "It took so long just to find this one clue."

"Things are already looking up; at least we have a direction. Grace's eyes are very similar to my mother's, so I think she might know something," Ainsley said seriously.

"Hopefully so. Did the detective find anything?"

Ainsley shook her head in disappointment. "If he finds anything, he'll definitely contact me right away."

Matteo sighed. "You must be careful on your trip to Seattle this time. How about I go with you?"

He paused for a moment before continuing, "I can't help but feel that this time it's not safe, especially that woman, she gives me a dangerous vibe."
