Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)

Chapter 32 The Sense of Familiarity

"Serina has always been naughty. She didn't cause any trouble for you, did she?" Sensing the embarrassment in the air, Manuel said to break the deadlock.

Before Ainsley could speak, a red velvet gift box appeared in front of her.

The gift with a card-gilded logo Cartier stunned Ainsley for a moment. "Mr. Gage, what is this?"

Manuel slowly opened the box. A rose-gold diamond bracelet was quietly lying inside. Under the refraction of all the light sources in the room, it emitted a colorful light.

"Serina rarely gets so close to others. It's rare for her to bare her soul. Anyway, Ms. Easton, I want to make friends with you." Manuel lowered his eyes and looked up at her with Ainsley's beautiful. figure in his eyes. "If you don't mind, can I call you Aisy in the future?"

Aisy...

Hearing this, Ainsley felt her face shining with shyness and excitement. She felt like someone had called her this before, but she couldn't remember who it was.

"I like Serina very much, treating her like my younger sister, but..."

Manuel was one of the few wealthy merchants in Seattle, and the youngest one. Ainsley knew that she wasn't qualified to be friends with him.

She appreciated Manuel's politeness but she had to follow the rules.

"I don't have many friends. Will Aisy embarrass me?"

Wearing a faint smile on his face, Manuel said with a firm attitude.

Ainsley paused and looked up at the man. She was not at a disadvantage of being friends with a

big shot like Manuel.

She was not a pretentious person. Then her face glowed with delight. "Thank you very much, Mr. Gage."

Manuel bent over and put on the bracelet for Ainsley. The man's body fragrance surrounded her. In front of Ainsley was the man's serious and handsome face. They got so close that Ainsley could see the slightly protruding meridians on the man's neck.

Suddenly, her heart was beating wildly.

After putting it on for her, Manuel looked at it with admiration. "It's not expensive. Aisy, it is even more exquisite on your beautiful wrist."

Ainsley then stared at the bracelet on her wrist with her face lit up.

She had studied Cartier. She had always liked to be low-key and simple. It was just that Cartier specialized in watches, and rarely produced bracelets,

Seeing that she was happy, Manuel also chuckled and quietly turned the tail ring of the Cartier on his hand. If looking at it closely, they would find that it was a series with Ainsley's bracelet.

Ainsley turned the topic to Serina. "Mr. Gage, you flatter me. However, regarding Serina's condition, I still have some doubts. Serina looks lively and cheerful. What happened before that would cause her to have a psychological illness?"

Manuel's eyes darkened as he sat back down and said lightly, "I only know that she was a little stimulated. I wasn't there at that time, so I didn't know the details. Can you spend more time taking

care of her? Please?"

He didn't answer her directly.

Ainsley lowered her eyes. There were many secrets in the rich families. With Manuel's identity here,

she didn't probe further.

The dishes were quickly served.

Thinking of Serina's illness, Ainsley was a little absent-minded. She casually took a bite of roast

beef and accidentally choked on it.

"Kaff... Kaff." She immediately coughed.

A glass of ice water was handed to her hand in time. She drank a few mouthfuls before she felt better without paying attention to the water

After that, Ainsley kept silent due to awkwardness, so she took the glass and drank the water to

hide her embarrassment.

She had never liked drinking pure water with no taste and usually put some lemon inside.

But the glass in her hand had lemon in it.

"Lemon could reduce the ***. Do you feel better now?" Manuel explained.

Ainsley didn't think too much about it and just thought it was a coincidence. "Roman is good. Why did he put so much pepper in it?" Her throat was still burning hot.

"I forgot to remind you." Manuel placed another dish in front of her and gently reminded her. "This is not ***. It tastes better with a little mashed garlic."

Ainsley looked at the shelled shrimp on the plate and hesitated for a while.

She liked shrimp with garlic.

She didn't know this man before, but why did she feel that he knew her very well?

Was it a coincidence?

There seemed to be some memory fragments flashing in her mind as Ainsley frowned.

Why did she feel that she seemed to have forgotten something important?

"Aisy?"

Seeing that she was in a daze, Manuel spoke again.

The man's voice was low and magnetic, like wine that had been brewing for many years. Just with

one sip, the woman would get addicted to his ***voice.

Ainsley recovered from the shock and wore a stunned expression. Then she put down her fork.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gage. I ate a little too quickly. I have to go to the bathroom."

Ainsley's thoughts were a mess. As soon as she pushed open the bathroom door, she met Kaliyah who was putting on makeup in front of the mirror of the sink. Seeing her, Kaliyah was a little surprised and put away the lipstick she had just finished. "Ms. Easton, what a coincidence."
