"Manuel ,what happened? Angelica looked at Manuel with a puzzled expression.
His eyes were pure and unblemished, and Manuel did not want her to see anything bad, so he whispered, "Don't ask too many questions, just follow your brother."
Angelica, who had always listened to Manuel, had followed him since childhood and trusted him, asked no more questions, but got up and obediently went to Manuel's side.
"Let's go."
Manuel took her hand and was about to leave, but when he turned around he ran into Zara, who had changed into a beautiful dress, had a birthday crown, and was wearing a pair of crystal shoes that made her look to Angelica like a princess in a comic book.
The little girl was simple-minded and had only so many turns of phrase; she thought people looked good and kept staring.
"Manuel, you're a little late. Angelica here has eaten countless numbers of tor."
Manuel looked at her coldly, his thin lips tightened tightly, though the boy's face perhaps dissatisfied, he did not growlZara had done before.
Only restraint and depression.
Zara had never seen the two of them like that. It seems Angelica's role is large enough, calling her today was the right decision. Otherwise, Manuel would not have shown up at her birthday party, even though he had put a lot of effort into it.
When neither of them said anything, Zara lowered her gaze to Angelica's face.
"Angelica, is the cake good?"
Angelica remembered the taste of the fruit cake, and the little craving inside her began to be felt again, so she whispered, "Yes, thank you, sister. Sister, can you tell me where you bought the cake?"
"You seem to like it very much." Zara did not tell her where she bought it, but just smiled and said, "If you like it, I can always bring you here to eat it in the future."
"No need." Manuel said indifferently, "You can't eat too many sweets, Zara makes it specially."
Pacino also immediately said, "Yes, yes, too many sweets can easily lead to diabetes, Angelica should not eat too much from now on. You ate too much tonight, your Aunt Serena just called asking when you will be back for dinner in the evening. We need to go faster.
Angelica's eyes were confused, but before she knew it, she was picked up by Manuel and the three of them left the party together.
Genara and Michela ran late, they were a few steps behind and did not catch up with them.
When they saw Manuel leave with Angelica, they tried to follow him, but were stopped by Zara.
"You have all changed into your clothes, the birthday party is about to start, so you can stay and join in."
"But Angelica ......"
"Angelica suddenly had something to do and left with her brother, don't bother you guys, stay and hang out for a while, I'll have them drive you back to school later."
Genara and Michela wanted to say more, but the three were nowhere to be seen, so they looked at each other and agreed to stay.
Later Zara's friends could not resist asking her.
"Zara, didn't you call his sister here just to get Manuel to come? You just let them go?"
"How could it be otherwise? Can I force them to stay?"
"Then wouldn't we have wasted our efforts today?"
In vain? Zara smiled:, how could it be a waste of effort? She thought Manuel was too cold and reserved, there didn't seem to be anything he was interested in, but now she knew he was worried about.
And this Angelica was a little food lover. She could be easily subdued by food.
After Angelica was taken away from the birthday party, she was still held tightly by Manuel, the way he held her was like picking up a baby and pinning her arms so tightly that it hurt.
